Its always better to choose, herbal/mild shampoo. Take care in choosing that should nt be highly concentrated, & with chemicals, more conditioners, which will damage your hair gradually. If its that kind of shampoo, then you can contnue, & as already you r useing it, if no any adverse effets you found, then, you can continue. Remember always, before taking head bath, apply any herbal/almond/olive/til/or coconut oil, with gentle massage, which will give proper nourishment to your hair.
