Men's shampoo
Strong and healthy hair always attracts attention and creates a good impression of a person. Irreversible age-related changes in the body, poor-quality water, medicines, poor environmental conditions, stressful situations, bad habits, unhealthy food - all this has a negative effect not only on the appearance of the hair, but also their internal health.
To ensure the hair full care and constant vitality, it is necessary to have a whole range of cosmetics, the leading place in which, of course, takes shampoo.
It so happened that the representatives of the "beautiful half", unlike men, most responsibly select the best shampoo and know everything about them. The male half does not pay due attention to this cosmetics, from which often the problems of the hair are only aggravated. This article will focus on shampoos designed for men, their differences and the parameters of the optimal choice.
Features of products for men
According to cosmetologists, the difference between male and female shampoos is simply enormous, as a result of which it is concluded that all members of the family should not use the same product. This is due to physiological features: the sebaceous glands of men are more active, which leads to excessive pollution of the scalp and hair. To normalize the work of these glands and eliminate increased fat content, cosmetology companies have developed a “special” male shampoo, the varieties of which are currently represented by a very wide range.
Especially popular with the "strong half" are shampoo-gels, which are suitable not only for washing the head, but also for the whole body.
When choosing the most optimal means, special attention should be paid to the composition of shampoos. Products containing silicone or sodium lauryl sulfate will not suit “strong representatives”, since they have a negative effect on the hair structure of male hair more than positive aspects. But zinc is welcome, as it eliminates shine and normalizes the secretion of glands. Also, shampoo should deal with one of the main problems of the male sex - early hair loss, so the product should contain natural ingredients (onion extract, ginseng, etc.) that nourish the skin and prevent baldness.
Differences from women
Women's and men's shampoos carry a number of significant differences:
- the acidity of the male skin is highertherefore the recommended shampoo for men should be at least with a mark pH 5.4, and not with the female - pH 5.7;
- male remedies have more perfumed composition and usually have a “typically masculine” aroma of menthol, lemon, peppermint, coffee, or sea freshness;
- women's shampoos are a cocktail from various nutrients and elements that favorably affect their hair and mainly moisturize them. In the funds intended for men, these nutrients should be much smaller in order to preserve a longer volume and freshness, and they should mainly perform the function of defatting the scalp and hair.
Varieties
Today, the consumer market offers the widest range of men's shampoo, each variety of which is designed to combat a particular problem. For an optimally suitable shampoo, you need to objectively evaluate the condition of not only the scalp, but also the scalp.
From falling out
In case of premature hair loss, it is recommended to seek professional advice from a trichologist to obtain the optimal course of treatment for this problem. The most common causes of baldness are:
- bad habitslike smoking and alcohol abuse, so that the hair follicles do not get the right amount of oxygen;
- testosterone boost (male hormone);
- poor environmental situation and not wearing headgear at negative air temperatures;
- wrong choice of cosmetic hair care products.
Shampoo against hair loss should contain natural ingredients: extracts of medicinal plants, minerals, vitamins, proteins and essential oils, as natural ingredients have regenerating properties, awaken hair follicles and stimulate hair growth, preventing their premature loss and breakage.
Anti-dandruff
Dandruff is one of the most common diseases of the scalp, during which normal development and cell regeneration stops. On the epidermis, layers of dead skin cells are formed, which subsequently exfoliate.
Causes of dandruff:
- fungal organismsthat infect the epidermis and block its normal functioning;
- genetic predisposition;
- the presence of such chronic diseasesas seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis and others;
- improper care, as a result of which the sebaceous glands function improperly, block cells, which leads to their death.
To achieve the desired result, it is necessary with the help of a specialist (dermatologist or trichologist) to determine the cause of dandruff and, starting from it, select the optimal shampoo.
Antifungal and bactericidal agents contain antibiotics such as ketoconazole, a fungus that kills, cures serious skin diseases and stops the spread of the disease.
Nourishing or toning shampoo cleanses the skin and hair from dirt and grease, nourishes and restores the hair structure, which also eliminates dandruff. Such products often contain zinc, coal, tar, or salicylic alcohol.
Tint means
Sooner or later, due to the natural hormonal changes in the body, men form gray hair, especially their small clusters can be observed in the temporal areas. At first, the hairs are few and do not cause much concern. But over time, they capture more and more areas of the scalp. Some call this gray hair "noble"And do not experience anxiety when present. Others, especially men under 40, acquire various means in order to hide this problem.
It is impossible to reverse this process and it will not work out either. But cosmetologists have developed special tinted shampoos that help mask the “silvered” hair.
They are divided into funds that cover the color closest to natural, and shampoos, which are slightly tinted problem areas.
Masking

But it is quite difficult for men to find the right shade, pursuing the task of adjusting the color of gray hair to the natural one. It should be remembered that the dye pigments can change the color too much, so choose the tool should be a tone lighter than your own natural hair color. Or you can contact the professionals in beauty salons.
