Shampooing Hints
Shampooing
Shampooing regularly is the first step in maintaining healthy hair and scalp.
Sebum lubricates and protects our hair, but particles of dirt become embedded in this natural oil.
Shampooing too frequently can cause extensive sebum removal, which results in dull looking, static-prone hair that is difficult to comb.
Shampoos contain:
• surfactants – hydrophobic ingredients, those attracted to oil, and hydrophilic ingredients, those attracted to water,allow shampoo to bind to and emulsify dirt, sebum and styling products in the hair, and then remove them when rinsing.
• silicones – responsible for lubricating the hair, allowing for easier brushing and a smoother look and feel to the hair when dried.
• cationic polymers – provide unique wet-conditioning and delivery benefits – allow many consumers to forego a separate conditioner if their hair is already in good condition.
• preservatives, perfumes, and sometimes dyes and anti-dandruff ingredients.
• Added ingredients such as vitamins B and E, jojoba and aloe vera claim to strengthen hair, but there is no scientific validation.
An endless array of formulations are available, and selecting an appropriate product can be confusing. A good place to start is to determine suitability by hair type, e.g., normal or dry.
Shampoo types:
• products designed for chemically treated or damaged hair.
• mild infant formulations that do not irritate the eyes and exclude perfumes
• those with added medical ingredients
• conditioning shampoos that contain hydrolyzed proteins designed to penetrate the hair shaft
• professional-grade cationic acidic shampoos that neutralize the residual alkalinity of chemical treatments.
