Hair-care products are some of the most over-advertised products you can buy. Apparently every product has a “new and improved” formula that will revolutionize your hair-care experience. While some products are more beneficial for your hair than others, a shampoo is meant to do one thing: clean you hair. Some products do include damaging ingredients that are effective at cleaning your hair, but they also damage your hair in the process. A trial and error approach is often the best way to find a product that works for you, a product that won’t cause dryness, irritation, or excessive damage.

Hair Care & Shampoo
Shampoos contain treated molecules that have a head and a tail, separate parts that perform distinct cleansing functions. The molecule’s head repels dirt and attracts water. The tail works in the opposite way, attracting dirt and repelling water. These functions, though distinct, work together to clean the scalp and hair.
Cleaning Hair & Scalp
Natural oils secreted by the scalp are the main source of dirty hair. These oils are called sebum. Water cannot cleanse the scalp and hair of sebum without the help of a cleaning agent. The ‘tail’ of the molecules contained in shampoo attract the dirt and oil and remove them from the shafts of hair. The massaging process recommended for hair and scalp cleaning encourages the removal process. Be sure to thoroughly rinse shampoo from your hair following a wash.
Proper Shampoo Use
Using too much shampoo can be problematic for your hair. Tangles, dryness, and matting are problems associated with excessive shampoo. ‘Less is more’ is a useful way to look at shampoo use. Leftover shampoo layers the hair and can be difficult to remove, so remember not to over do it.
Hair Care & Wellbeing
Your hair’s appearance can have an impact on how you feel about yourself and how you look. Without proper hair hygiene, your self-esteem can be negatively impacted, leading to a low sense of self and impaired well-being. Taking good care of your hair is a big part of taking care of your overall health and wellbeing.
