Shampoo is pH balanced for your hair. Body wash and shower soap are not.

Your hair likes slight acidity, believe it or not. (Look up “apple cider vinegar use in hair”) And, soap is basic. Using soap/body wash in hair will strip your hair of too much oil and throw of your hair’s pH balance. This usually makes your hair dry and frizzy.

Keep in mind we used to use soap in hair all the time, back in the day. But people bathed a LOT less often back then. They needed the extra cleaning power. Plus, the less frequent use dried out their hair less.
