Washing hair with soap

The fashion of the last years for natural products for skin and hair care has reached its apogee. The girls again rinse the locks with herbal preparations, make shampoos with their own hands, and some of them go further, deciding to carry out hair washing with laundry soap. Let's try to figure out if this procedure is so helpful.

Our grandmothers trusted their laundry soap and body soap. There was simply no other detergent for the head, so everyone used it. Looking through the photographs of antiquity, you can see beautiful women with braids, sometimes reaching to toes. They were tightly braided and laid out on the head in intricate wreaths with which they could walk for several days. On the daily wash then did not know.

Types of soap are divided into many factors, but the main classification occurs by the amount of fatty acids:

• 72 - the proportion of fatty acids here can reach from 70.5% to 72%;
• 70 - the share of acids is close to the level of 69-70%;
• 65 - the volume is 61-65%.

It would seem that the ideal tool was found, but the problem still exists. So, modern soap has a share of active substances only in the amount of 60-62%. The figures on the bar at the same time can be different and sometimes invented by careless manufacturers. Some pieces are produced without numbers at all and one can only guess about the volume of the useful substance. Unfortunately, it is possible to check the actual amount only in laboratories.

And many probably paid attention to the color. Light, amber and dark - these are the main varieties in color. Dark soap with an unpleasant and pungent odor speaks of the uncleanness of fats during processing. It is not recommended to use such a tool. Amber and light shade - one of the guarantees of a successful choice.

So, the composition of the tool includes a lot of water that benefits the structure of the hair. Water moisturizes and nourishes the hair and largely neutralizes the harmful effects of alkalis, which are a lot in the mixture of ingredients. Granular caustic sodium and alkali destroy the structure of the hair and without proper rinsing cause irreparable harm. Rinse it is important not only water but also vinegar, making a pre-weak solution of it.

To somehow soften the complex of ingredients, some manufacturers add kaolin to the laundry soap, or in other words, white clay. It certainly benefits the curls, providing them with food and protecting them from dryness and section.

Some more useful components for which soap is bought for hair care purposes - animal fats and acids. They become very useful for winter care and dry curls, enveloping each hair and creating an invisible protective film. Do not forget and soap with glycerin, whose composition gives curls obedience and elasticity.

Whatever scientific research says, women and men continue to use the product for cosmetic purposes, applying it as a panacea for many problems with curls.

Hair loss is an unpleasant and ambiguous process. It may occur due to a lack of vitamins, aggressive external stimuli, or inappropriate shampoo. You can begin treatment with the use of soap and a complete rejection of any other detergents during the 15-day course.

Use the tool best in tandem with castor oil.. The latter is used as a mask before washing the head. This is followed by washing itself with a soap solution obtained by mixing water with rubbed soap shavings. Rinsing occurs invariably in alliance with vinegar.

And if the soap copes with the fallout, then it is logical to use it to stimulate the growth of curls. To do this, the previous recipe is used when washing the head 2-3 times a week, while adding a variety of decoctions of herbs.

Dandruff treatment is another case where washing your hair with soap and water is useful. Interestingly, it is the alkalis that are detrimental to the structure of the hair that make the process of dandruff control so effective. The fact is that alkaline ingredients quickly dissolve dust and dirt from the head, eliminating fungal compounds.

Also in the fight against the disease can be used medical mask. For its preparation, a piece of soap is rubbed on a grater and spread on cellophane, covering its head with it. The design is shrouded in a warm scarf and left overnight.

In addition, a soapy substance can be a natural way to wash an unfortunate shade from the hair. Agree, this problem when painting at home is quite common. And if it is inconvenient to contact the salon or is unavailable for any reason, it's time to use the proven folk method.

To remove the color, the head is washed with ordinary shampoo, after which a soap solution is applied for 10 minutes.. Wash it off with vinegar. According to the adherents of the method, three procedures are enough to completely wash the paint from the painted curls. Its application is possible for black hair. At the same time, natural paint, such as henna and basma, is removed from the curls much easier and simpler than persistent artificial colors.

Clarification of the curls is also possible with the help of soap. The procedure coincides with the procedure of washing the paint, but the exposure time on the hair is reduced to 5 minutes. Rinse the hair with a decoction of chamomile.

Reviews about the benefits and dangers of washing with soap are very different. We should start with the opinion of trichologists, because they, like no one else, know everything about hair. Experts unanimously argue that washing curls with soap is a real atrocity in relation to their hair, because alkalis actively and instantly corrode the hair structure, despite the fat content of the product.

Speaking about the harmful effects on the hair, some women began to use a remedy for vegetation on the body and actively share a simple recipe. To suppress growth, the removal procedure is carried out with an epilator, after which soap is rubbed. The course is 5 days.

And if reviews about hair removal are rather rare, then it is eager to write about washing curls. Many, after re-reading the useful properties of the product, hurried to wash their hair. And, alas, they were horrified by what they saw. Sticking disobedient strands filled with dryness disappointed users. However, more far-sighted girls, who learned the correct method of washing with vinegar, were satisfied, and some even got really thick and lush hair.

Many girls consider it effective and wash their heads with soapy water once a week for prophylaxis. Hair adapt to this unusual effect, filled with shine and natural radiance. The period of dandruff disappearance is different for each individual, however, positive changes can be noticed after the first procedure.

There are plenty of skeptics reviews. In their opinion, our grandmothers and great-grandmothers washed their heads with completely different soap, properly and naturally feeding at the same time, without using electrical appliances for drying and styling their hair. All this made itself felt unusual density and beauty of the hair. Today, the use of such an agent for curls is destructive and totally ineffective.

Summarizing the above, it can be noted that there is a negative attitude to this procedure and it is fully justified by experts in the field of scalp problems. On the other hand, some prove the benefits of washing with numerous photos of curls before and after, on which the natural brilliance of the order fascinates and inspires to try. And if the desire suddenly arose, then you can take a chance. Fortunately, the tool is inexpensive, and one procedure is unable to dramatically worsen the condition of the hair.
