 Healthy luxury
hair has always been acknowledged as the attribute of women’s beauty and
seduction and there are rare women who can refuse from having a bas of lavish
hair, long and think hair. Every woman is aware of her type of hair and the way
to care of it varies from woman to woman, though one of the basic attributes
for hair care is still shampoo. Hair shampoo filled the market segment to the
extent that they are manufactured for any types of hair respective of the
structure, density, color, mechanical interference done to hair and many other
factors. The end user is anxious with choosing a quality shampoo to make the
hair shiny and healthy.
The quality
of shampoo cannot be worked out with any tangible parameters as consistence,
color or aroma. Such special additive made to the shampoo as the goat milk, silk
extracts, green tea and other ingredients, have too little effect to shampoo
quality since in most cases we know that various aromatizers and substitutes
are added to shampoos. High foam-producing ability of the shampoo does not tell
of the high quality and plenty of foam does not necessarily mean to wash hair
perfectly and favorably affect the hair.
Shampoo is
basically designed to wash hair and the scalp clean. The features of the
shampoo to make the hair stronger are nothing but the ad promotion myth. The
part of hair lying above the scalp is already dead, not live, unlike the hair
follicle inside. Hair follicles need to be nourished and strengthened but not hair.
It is impossible to nourish hair in process of common washing, but it is
possible to do with masks and other healing procedures based on fruits and
useful ingredients on a regular bias.
Washing
agents comprise the basis for any shampoo. They are usually called detergents
or surfactants and package is usually labeled on them. When mixed with oxygen and
water, detergents cover hair with foam mass, dust and grease are dissolved in
it and are washed out. Some shampoos are
distinguished with the higher hardness to be suitable for greasy hair only
while the others are designed for dry and damaged hair.
Soft and sparing
detergents are considered to be of higher quality, like Sodium Laureth Sulfate,
TEA Lauril Sulfate and ТЕА Laureth Sulfate. They are used to manufacture expensive and quality
kinds of shampoo, first for fragile and damaged hair. Detergents like Ammonium
Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, in spite of
good washing capacity, are able to irritate the scalp and get the hair dry and
thin since the natural fat is also washed with such shampoo. Such surfactant
species are often found as ingredients to cheap shampoos.
Shampoo
manufacturers often abuse in producing two in one shampoos when washing agents
of the shampoo and nourishing conditioning balm are added as one. Such shampoos
are manufactured to wash the dirt and improve the hair. Two-in-one shampoos are
better to use to save time but in practice consumption of balms and
conditioners separately are too more effective. When interact intermediately,
the molecules of the shampoo can react with the molecules of the balm and
conditioner to possibly neutralize the effect of each other.
Some
manufacturers have spent their time and practiced the technology to improve
their approaches. They add conditioning additives to the shampoo components which
cause effect at the shampoo washing out. The conditioner is designed to neutralize
the alkali effect of the shampoo, nourish hair and make it elastic, smooth,
shining and bigger in volume. Moreover, conditioners tend to create a
protective film around the hair that prevents from any possible chemical and
heat exposure. This is typical to the silicon additives with names ending in «on»
as in meticone: dimeticone, cyclemeticone, etc.
Conditioners
also come as based on proteins or protein conditioners. Hair is known to
contain 93% of protein in composition. The vegetable proteins with molecules of
smaller size can be enough to replace the damaged particles in the hair trunk
and, thus, adding more volume to hair. It is invisible though it is quite
impressive when seen under the microscope to believe in such effect.
So, it is
better analyze which shampoo effects how to choose the best shampoo for the
hair to look healthy and beautiful.
