Shampoo and its Types:

Traditionally, we had a whole lot of choices like reetha and shikakai .The preparation and usage was difficult and time consuming. Especially when that reetha juice stings your eye!

To avoid that, we have plethora of shampoos available today in the market. There are many options based on hair concerns – curly hair, damaged hair, hair fall, dandruff, coloured hair and many more.

There are two main types of shampoo:

• regular shampoos
• conditioner-cum-shampoo

Always choose regular shampoos. The conditioner-cum-shampoo has both cleansing and conditioning ingredients which can clog the hair follicles.

The only function of a shampoo is to clean the scalp and the hair. Choose a separate conditioner to compliment your shampoo.

Dry Shampoo:

Sounds very unusual don’t it? It is an unusual product. Dry shampoos are popular due to the ease of use. It provides freshness without the hassle of shampooing every day.

How to use it

• Dust the powder or spray it onto your hair
• Brush your hair out .Your hair is as good as new!

Make sure the ingredients are hair friendly! Keep your eyes open for rice powder as they absorb oils and also don’t clog the follicles. Corn starches also as they help dry the hair.

Tips to get the best out of your shampoo:

• Comb your hair before washing it. And, always apply shampoo on wet hair.
• Use a dollop of shampoo or just enough of shampoo to cleanse the scalp and hair. If you use more shampoo, it may lead to dryness and rough hair.
• You can also add a fistful of water to a dollop of shampoo to avoid the harsh effects of the shampoo. This lessens the damage caused by the chemicals in the shampoo and also prevents scalp irritation.
• Always wash your hair with lukewarm water. Extra hot water can damage the cuticles.
• When washing your hair, always use only the balls or the tips of the fingers to massage the scalp lightly. Avoid using nails while washing the hair as it can cause breakage.
