Shampoo and hair balm

Appearance is very important for any person. Indeed, in the first place, it is estimated according to it. That is why it is important to carefully monitor the condition of the hair. The problem is that shampoos and balms every year becomes more and very difficult to make a choice. In this article we will try to help you.

Those times have long passed when it was thought that you could wash your head with anything, even soap. Through research in the field of hair health, it becomes clear that every woman needs an individual shampoo, caring for the locks and making them strong and healthy.

It is also worth considering that this tool does not suit you if:

• Your head begins to itch after application;
• Hair quickly becomes dirty and untidy.

There is another factor - when you use the same shampoo for too long, the curls get used to it and start to look worse. Therefore, the tool must be changed at least once every few months.

Let's start with the most harmful. After seeing these substances in the composition, it is better to put the shampoo back on the shelf and select another one:

• Sodium sulfate;
• Annonium sulphate;
• TEM sulfates.

These substances contain a lot of aggressive chemical components and destroy skin protein, spoil the scalp and hair. A striking example of the use of such tools are excessively fluffy hair after washing. If you continue to use shampoo with such ingredients, it can cost you thinning strands, their quick contamination and the appearance of split ends.

The best, safest and organic surfactants are Sodium Laurel, Disodium Lauret and Cocomidopropyl Betain. But to find products with such a composition in regular stores is simple - you need to look for them in specialized places with organic cosmetics.

It is also very good if there is keratin in the composition, because it is a component identical to the hair. It regenerates the structure, gives strength and beauty. Lecithin and protein are also natural and beneficial substances for your locks. It is also good if there are some plant oils in the composition, as they are completely natural and nourish the strands.

Any shampoo is selected in accordance with the type of curls. This is the main criterion and the most effective approach. To select for such parameters, you must follow a few simple rules.

For greasy hair. Often with this type of curls, there is a violation of the sebaceous glands, especially if they quickly get dirty and look untidy the next day. With this condition, it is best to choose a tool that will dry the strands and scalp, but will not overdry them at all.

Citrus extracts and menthol can gently dry the skin. In addition, you need to choose a tool that you can wash your head often, even every day. In the presence of greasy curls, it is better to wash off the shampoo more carefully.

For dry hair. In this type of curls the biggest problem is fragile tips. Dry strands are well suited for colored or damaged hair, such shampoos moisturize and nourish.

Dyed strands. We singled out this type separately, because it requires special care. Firstly, such hair needs complex protection, namely, not only shampoo and balm, but also other means. For such curls suitable shampoo for damaged and dyed hair.

Normal curls. For them, the choice of means is wider, but this does not mean that anything will suit them. Be sure to pay attention to the weighting elements in the composition, such as parabens or silicones. In addition, the hair will suit any shampoo with the usual firming and vitamin care.

The water we wash our hair is far from ideal. For example, it contains alkali, which even with the best shampoo gives sometimes the effect of "electricity" on the hair and their difficult combing. Previously, women used vinegar to soften the strands and easier to comb them, but now there is no need and you can simply choose a tool in the store.

There are a great many balsams, but all these means can be divided into three types: rinse conditioner and mask.

Balm conditioner designed for the most ordinary hair without pronounced problems. It is aimed at maintaining health, giving a healthy shine and strength to your curls.

Balm conditioner gently restores from the inside. It is recommended for people with damaged or dull hair, as the means used will give you the expected nutrition and beautiful, healthy color.

Balm mask created for deep nutrition. It is necessary to do this procedure no more than a couple once a week in order not to overdo it. Usually the mask is applied on the roots and skin themselves, and then remains on the head for some time to be absorbed properly.

Dry hair, on the other hand, needs abundant nutrition. It is good if there are various kinds of oils in the composition of the balm, which are able to give the curls a healthy and radiant look. Dyed hair necessarily need to be protected from the sun, so, choosing such a tool, pay attention to the packaging.

Cetrimonium Chloride composed perfectly safe. It helps hair does not electrify and makes it easy to comb. Glyceryl stearate is another safe remedy. which preserves the consistency of the balm thick.

Dimetikol softens strands and protects them, including from harmful substances in the composition of the shampoo or balm. Suitable for any hair. Glycerin and panthenol are two more safe ingredients. The first helps keep moisture and prevent hair from drying out, and the second protects and strengthens. Also good is any composition in which a lot of vitamins and natural extracts.

In addition to components useful for strands, there are also those with which it is not recommended to buy funds. For example:

• Parabens - processed and cheap preservatives;
• Sodium lauryl sulfate - it is known that it foams well, but with long use it can cause hair loss and thinning;
• Mineral oils - cover the hair with a dense film, preventing oxygen from penetrating inside.

First, of course, shampoo is applied to the hair. Properly wash your hair is not so difficult, if you accustom yourself to simple actions. So, just before washing you need to comb your hair, make a short head massage and then go to the bathroom.

The amount of shampoo that you put on your hair is also very important. No need to assume that the more - the better. This is not true. For long hair, for example, you should put about two teaspoons of shampoo on your head, and for short hair - one.

Another mistake that very many people often make is to apply shampoo on their head and only then lather. Detergent should first lather in the hands and only after that wash their hair.

The sequence of application is extremely simple - after you have washed the shampoo from the hair, it is time for the balm. It is distributed over the entire length of wet hair, but it is better to pay special attention to the tips. After applying, it is worth waiting a few minutes to let the product soak, and the active substances to start working. The last, final stage is to rinse with warm water.

Here we will make a small review of the brands that caught our attention.

Manufacturer Matrix produces professional cosmetics for hair. They can be divided into three main lines. The first - with multi-colored flakonchik and flashy names is on guard to protect damaged and dyed hair. Each set includes shampoo and balsam.

The second consists of products with certain additives. Shampoo and conditioner with keratin, with hydropower and many others. The third and last series - with the addition of oils. There is also a shampoo and balsam that nourish.

Kapous - Another brand of professional cosmetics. This manufacturer has a huge variety of products, including balsams and shampoos, for completely different problems. For example, a regenerating shampoo for hair with hyaluronic acid or a shampoo for curls with an essential oil of ylang-ylang.

In addition, they have a male line, from which I want to highlight the shampoo "Gentlemen 3 in 1".

Goes further brand "Clean Line". They also have a huge selection of shampoos and conditioners, but there are a few that I would like to especially note.

First, of course, shampoo "nettle"included in the line of separation of funds according to hair types. Specifically, this shampoo is created for all types of hair, but also they have the means for oily, dry, dyed and for thin and weakened curls. All shampoos with the appropriate name are applied balms.

• Shampoos and Balsams Indigo They differ from all the others by one important detail - they all have the so-called “aqua balance”, which helps saturate your curls with additional moisture and keep it from the inside. In addition, they also have a huge selection of products, ranging from fortified and ending with restoring and nourishing.
• Wella cosmetics created specifically for colored hair, helping them to keep the color as long as possible, strengthening and not allowing to dry out. In a huge variety of products you can find shampoos specifically for blondes and moisturizers.

• Constant delight - These are professional shampoos and balms. They can distinguish a series for hair restoration, to preserve color, for men and for chemical perm.
• Have Dove There is a separate line for damaged hair, which includes balm and shampoo. In addition, the manufacturer has a ruler for the volume for dry curls and hair loss.

• Pantene Pro-V creates the means with the intention of deeply nourishing your hair. They always have keratin in their composition that helps curls.It helps to restore and add volume to the strands, making them lifeless and dull bright and voluminous.
• Y syoss full of all sorts of tools for strands. Most often, balsams and shampoos are designed for narrow problems to help them as best as possible. For example, dandruff products, for oily hair and for dyed.

• Planeta Organica surprising variety of choice. They have not just natural shampoos that help in the protection of strands, but also thick cream shampoos, as well as balsams.
• Garnier "Fructis" - Another familiar product. The manufacturer promises an abundance of natural ingredients in the composition and good care for your curls.
• Estel - professional cosmetics for strands. They have a huge selection of shampoos and balms that give deep care.

According to customer reviews, the best tandem shampoo-balsam is Indigo. He copes with all sorts of hair, restores damaged and, in general, cares much more about the health of curls. Almost after him goes Kapous, who removed the dryness of curls once and for all. However, it caused itchy scalp on some customers.

In the last places Garnier "Fructis" and Planeta Organica. Both of these brands have the same claims - the composition is completely unnatural, there is no effect, and some even say that their curls have become worse.
