Hair for a woman is not only a fundamental attractive look, but also an indicator of health. Of course, without regular and high-quality hair care a luxurious, thick and shining hairstyle will not work. Cosmetics manufacturers for this purpose produce a huge variety of masks, balms, tinctures and hair conditioners, but the main task of hair care is performed by shampoo. It cleans not only the hair itself, but also the scalp. Properly selected shampoo will make the hair healthy, bulky and smooth, heal the sick and dull, and strong - strengthen.
How to choose a woman hair shampoo?
The main function of the shampoo is to cleanse the hair and scalp from dirt and dust, sebum, cosmetics, etc. At the same time, the shampoo should not overdry any hair or scalp. In addition, the shampoo has additional features:
- Protect and restore hair cuticle scales;
- Give hair elasticity and strength;
- Preserve keratin and moisture;
- Minimize static electricity.
Simply put, shampoo is not only a cleansing agent, but also a remedy for hair and scalp, so it must be chosen very responsibly. Modern cosmetic market is replete with a huge number of brands and types of shampoos.
In order to find the right shampoo, first of all you need to determine the type of your hair.
You can find out the type of your hair both with the help of special medical tests conducted by specialists and independently at home.
- Oily hair type is determined most easily: they have to be washed more often than once every two days, as they quickly grow dull and become greasy;
- The dry type is also recognizable: it is poorly combed, slightly harsh, often with split ends;
- Normal hair type is easy to comb and slowly grows fat;
- Coloring does not apply to hair types, but is their peculiarity; therefore, for a hair dyed and naturally light, it is necessary to choose a special product;
- Chemistry or disease-damaged hair also requires careful selection of shampoo.
Thus, all shampoos are divided into types according to hair types. Different products affect hair and scalp in different ways: shampoo for oily hair bought for dry will dry them even more, and vice versa - shampoo for dry hair purchased for oily will make them even fatter. Therefore, choosing a shampoo, you must strictly consider the type of hair. Virtually every manufacturer of care products in their product lines provides separate types for each type, so making a choice is actually not difficult.
