Everyone's dream is healthy hair.
So, what we mean by healthy hair? Healthy hairs are soft to feel , shiny, untangled, non frizzy and are bouncy on shaking head.
What needs to be done to achieve healthy hairs?- an overall good health and a daily chore of maintenance and grooming of hair.
Shampoos are an important part of our hair care management . And a good shampoo is a must to keep our scalp and hair healthy .
There are some basic ingredients in a shampoo: cleansers, conditioners, thickeners, opacifiers, sequestering agents, fragrances, preservatives and special additives. Out of all the above, cleansers and conditioners are the ingredients we need to focus on as they are the ingredients that play major role in cleansing and manageability of hair . So a shampoo for a particular hair type has to have a particular cleanser and conditioner .
I have tried to simply as much as I can to help you in choosing a shampoo according to your hair type as mentioned in slides. As we use cosmetic shampoos in our day to day lives in this post I have focused on them . Kindly look into the slides.
Other than above mentioned shampoos there some more shampoos we see in the market like:
Everyday shampoo- should contain laureth sulphates as cleanser and conditioner should be used separately with them
Deep cleansing shampoo- are used to cleanse off styling products like hair sprays, gel etc. Should contain lauryl sulphates as cleanser and to be used once weekly.
Two in one shampoo- contains both cleanser with additional amounts of conditioner
Professional shampoo- to be used before styling products and can't be used for day to day care.
There are also therapeutic shampoos and also herbal shampoos which I will elaborate on upcoming posts as they are too large a post to add here. Tune in with us to know more . I will also post on conditioners soon.
Happy to answer queries regarding skin and hair.
