A Head on your Beer, or a Beer on Your Head ?
This article will give you a little bit of information on how
shampoos work to clean your hair. When your hair is at its
dirtiest it will contain skin flakes, dust, salt and oil. What
the shampoo has to do is break all of this down and pull it away
from your hair. Since water cannot do this on its own, you need
the shampoo to do the job. Modern shampoos contain a soap-free
detergent that actually reduces the surface tension of water and
allows it to move into the small crevices in the scalp and hair
shaft. As well, oil can build up on your hair and the detergent
in the shampoo emulsifies oil up so it can be easily washed away.
It's interesting to see how many different ingredients you will
find in a typical bottle of shampoo. If you like a nice, thick
shampoo, salt is used for the thickening, and in order to
maintain the pH of your hair, citrus acids are added. Fruit
extracts will actually draw moisture from the hair and thereby
assist in hydrating your hair.
In some shampoo compounds you will actually find egg that adds
protein, and will stick to the porous areas of the hair shaft.
In some of the specialty shampoos, beer is added as it coats the
hair shaft adding body and shine. Other than adding a pleasant
scent, perfumes perform very little function. Remember also that
most manufacturers will do almost anything to sell their
product, sometimes with little regard or care put into the
manufacture of it. Remember to purchase a shampoo that is
especially formulated for your hair, thus ensuring the right
amount of oil is removed. Try some samples from your local
pharmacy and remember, sometimes the most expensive shampoo
isn't the best for you.
