Well-groomed and beautiful hair wants to have almost everything. And hair shampoos are the means without which, probably, not a single modern person can do. In order for hair care to be as effective as possible, shampoo should be selected correctly.
All existing shampoos can be divided into four large categories. These are shampoos for regular use (even daily), professional shampoos, medical shampoos and color shampoos.
More about each species
Those hair shampoos that are intended for regular use are usually sold freely in any store and supermarket. They stand quite acceptable, effectively cleanse the hair and scalp. You should not expect a revolutionary effect from such shampoos. They give nothing but purification. When choosing such a product, it is better to give preference to at least the middle price segment. Very cheap shampoos are most likely ineffective. And in the worst case, they may contain substances that are frankly harmful to the hair and the body as a whole. Such, for example, as formaldehydes, or oils that are obtained as a result of oil refining. Parabens are not particularly useful. Today, the most popular brands are: Chistaya Liniya, FRUCTIS, Schauma, Pantene, Head & Shoulders, Dove and the like. They are quite effective, and they are produced by reliable and trusted manufacturers.
Professional shampoos for hair have their own characteristics. Their composition is much more “powerful” than that of daily use products; they are more concentrated. In this case, the main emphasis is hair cleansing (as deep as possible). This is done in order to facilitate and optimize further procedures (painting, styling, haircut). It is clear that such products are used mainly for salon procedures. At home, the use of such funds is rarely justified. If you really want to use a professional tool at home - you can do it without fear no more than once a month. For in the salon, the master knows exactly how much shampoo you need. It’s not so easy to figure it out on your own. The most popular brands of professional shampoos are: “Paul Mitchell”, “Kerastase”, “Helen Seward”.
Medical hair shampoos are a rather complicated topic. They are designed to solve a specific problem: seborrhea, dandruff, progressive hair loss. It is better if a consultation with a trichologist is held before purchasing such a remedy.
Tinted shampoos for hair. It is easy to understand that the use of such a product gives the hair a shade that is subsequently washed off. At the same time, it will not be possible to radically change the color of hair with the help of such a tool. You can pay attention to the products of such brands: "L'Oréal", "Estel", "Schwarzkopf".
In addition to the categories listed above, sometimes also natural hair shampoos are isolated. They can have different purposes, be both professional and therapeutic, but they must contain a large number of natural components. In principle, natural substances are very well perceived by the hair. But! The risk of allergies is not excluded. Therefore, it is worth starting to carefully test a natural remedy, especially if it has some exotic components. Such brands have proven themselves well: BIRCH SPA, Dancoly, Angel Professional.
