Things to Remember Before Selecting a Shampoo

By Jishnu Raj Most of the shampoo ads that you see give false statements. People do not know much about the ingredients that are used in the shampoo so they are mislead. When selecting a Shampoo check their cleansing qualities and abilities. Rest of the work is done by conditioners. Some of the points that you should know before selecting a shampoo are: The first thing you should see is what ingredients are added in the shampoo. Next important thing is that all the manufacturers say that their shampoo is only natural or organic. But if you see most of the shampoos are detergent additives. The herbs and fruits extracts or vitamins and other natural or herbal ingredients are not very effective. All the natural and herbal ingredients are necessary but for cleansing they are not really important. Third important thing is that shampoos do not fortify, restore or nourish the weak hair. The ingredients that are in the shampoo remain on the surface of hair for sometime. The ingredient that promotes hair growth is Minoxidil which is usually not added in shampoos. The next important thing is that you should not give importance to the color of shampoo. The color of shampoo is made with special additives; this is done just for the look of the shampoo. Manufacturers think that color may attract people to buy their shampoo. The last thing is that of washing the hair. Cleaning of hair does not depend upon the amount of shampoo you apply or thickness of foam. Foam is very important. Foaming is done with the help of detergents and so it is added in shampoos to clean the hair. The various types of detergents are Ammonium Lauril Sulphate, Ammonium Laureth Sulphate, Natrium Laureth Sulphate, TEA Lauril Sulphate and TEA Laureth Sulfate. Ammonium Lauril Sulphate is mostly used in cheap shampoos and shower gels. The last three detergents are mostly used in high quality shampoos. Before selecting a shampoo do remember certain things: Choose a famous brand shampoo only. Take a look at the Manufacturer's label. See what ingredients are added in the shampoo. Cheap detergents may spoil your hair after several washes. Avoid using such types of shampoo. Don't change the shampoo if it suits you. Experimenting with hair is allowed but that person is the one who suffers as his/her goes dry. It is not only shampoo that makes your hair weak. But also other things like hypovitaminosis, asiderotic anemia and irritation of alimentary canal. Jishnu Raj is a Copywriter of Moroccan oil.
