The Truth About Shampoo

-->

This cosmetic product is used by everyone. But do we know all about shampoo?

  • Shampoos are created to clean like ordinary soaps. In truth, shampoos in the past were soap based, but hard water effected badly them. Hair began to look dull. Modern shampoos have different formula and work equally well in hard or soft water.
  • Some shampoos are said to be ‘acid balanced’ or ‘ph balanced’. The detergent found in all shampoos are alkaline ( this is necessary for cleaning effect) and open the imbrications(spaces) in the cuticle so that hair gets entangled easily. This effect is minimized by acid or ph shampoos balanced shampoos.
  • Another group of shampoos are medicated shampoos. These contain substances that help itchy scalp conditions such as dandruff or seborrhoeic dermatitis and psoriasis. Don’t believe the name, medicated shampoos do not contain medicine and will not help hair to grow. You can use such shampoos if you have seborrhoeic dermatitis or psoriasis.
  • If you watch TV you have noticed (it’s hard not to notice) that the manufacturers of shampoos shout about hundreds of healthful sounding substances are added. We have to admit that shampoos only clean hairs and never nourish hair. All the nourishment for the hair is provided by the blood vessels around the hair follicles and nothing applied to the scalp will affect the follicles below.
  • Recently, a number of 2-in-1 shampoos become very popular. That shampoos are said to contain the additional conditioner. Our advice is to use conditioners separately after shampooing because the detergent in 2-in-1 shampoos probably wash away most of the conditioner.

Now you can judge on your own what shampoo to choose:)

    I’m wondering if the new case law that will bring Twitter, Facebook, Myspace into the 21 century is going to happen anytime soon. How will these new technologies fit into our current system and how can they be controlled across cyberspace?
