With all the hair care products on the market these days, it’s becoming harder and harder to know what the best choices are. Every product seems to make some boastful claim about its new and improved formula that will not only instantly change your hair but your entire life. Over-the-top advertising has created an environment of misconceptions about what hair products can and should be able to do. Many shampoo ads claim to be able to do everything from flattening hair strands to adding colour to repairing damage. But a good shampoo only needs to do one thing: clean the scalp and hair without causing dryness, damage, or irritation.

Understanding what shampoo is composed of and what it is meant to do can go a long to choosing the right product for you. Hair becomes dirty because the scalp secretes natural oils which coat the hair and attract dust and dirt. Shampoo deals with dirt and dust by absorbing it and removing it from the hair shafts. Shampoo works best when it is massaged into the hair and scalp with warm water that washes away blobs of dirt and oil. Thoroughly rinsing shampoo from the hair is needed to remove all dirt and oil and maintain cleanliness.
It’s important not to use excessive shampoo, as this can lead to tangles, matting, and dryness, particularly with an alkaline-based formula. This makes thorough rinsing an important factor in maintaining healthy and clean hair. If shampoo is not removed properly it can be even more difficult to remove than dirt and oil. When it comes to shampoo, less is often more. Too much shampoo can be counterproductive to the cleaning process, so use moderation.
Having clean hair that looks and feels great can have the same effect on your mood and confidence. When you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, you’re confident, and that’s what good hair cleaning and styling products can do for you. But don’t get sucked in by overblown marketing claims. The only thing a shampoo needs to do is clean your hair and scalp.
