Natural shampoos

Each representative of the fair sex tends to emphasize the natural beauty of their hair, and shampoo is a means for the initial care of curls. Currently, the cosmetics market is represented by a wide variety of care products, among which natural products occupy the leading positions. Products consisting of natural ingredients occupy a special place among competitors. After all, shampoo from natural ingredients helps to maintain a healthy appearance of the hair structure, as well as get rid of the unpleasant problem of dandruff appearance without causing harm.

Most of the shampoos sold on the shelves of shops, characterized by the presence of sulfates, parabens, silicones, which reduce their positive effect. Women who truly care about their hair are aware of the benefits of homemade cosmetics. The differences between the methods of cleaning store and home formulations are as follows:

• Natural Ingredients Carefully remove contamination. Microparticles attract molecules of sebum, dirt, skin particles, the formed compounds are washed away with water, without causing damage to the structure.
• Chemical compounds are quite aggressive. They destroy dirt particles, acting very intensely. Surfactants break down sebum, dust particles, but at the same time damage the structural components of the hair, thereby allowing them to easily penetrate into harmful factors.

Shampoos prepared at home are the most harmless, because they have such beneficial properties as:

• nutrition and hydration;
• structure restoration;
• getting rid of dandruff;
• normalization of the sebaceous glands;
• removal of irritation, inflammation, itching;
• strengthening hair from root to tip;
• stimulate the growth of new hair follicles;
• obstruction of strand loss;
• maintaining the skin's natural pH balance;
• shine.

Unlike homemade shampoos, purchase products often cause a negative scalp reaction. Almost every woman of the fair sex at least once in her life faced a situation when, after washing her head, there were unpleasant sensations in the form of itching or burning. Due to the fact that the hair dries, dandruff is formed and there is a feeling of tightness of the skin.

This body reaction arises from the aggressive effects of sulfates contained in most surfactants. Surfactant is a surfactant that serves specifically to flush various types of pollution. The surfactant microparticles simultaneously cling to the molecules of fat and water, thus washing away the pollution. Unfortunately, these substances, in addition to their benefits, most often cause visible damage to the protective barrier of the epidermis, disrupting its structure.

All surfactants are divided into several types:

• Anionic. They form abundant foam, have excellent soluble ability and are distinguished by low cost. They are the most aggressive for human skin.
• Cationic. They have the ability to eliminate bacteria, their detergent action is rather weak, but they can cause irritation. Usually used as an additive to give hair antistatic.
• Amphoteric. They are considered the highest quality, because the pollution is washed as well as possible, without causing harm to the skin. Their cost is much more expensive in relation to the other surfactants.
• Non-ionic. Foams are bad, so they are used in parallel with anionic ones, besides, they have a low ability to irritate the dermis. Added to give softness and silkiness to the strands.

Organic sulfate-free shampoos gently affect the skin. In some cases, the effect of abundant suds will be less compared to conventional shampoos, but they will be much more beneficial.

The natural strength of natural ingredients gives a fresh and well-groomed appearance to each hair, enriching it with useful vitamins and minerals. The protective function of the skin will increase when exposed to a complex of trace elements such cosmetics. Discomfort associated with hair loss will go to the background, and hair growth will become more intense.

Damaged, dry hair will quickly recover, and natural substances will help preserve the color of the colored strands. Hair after keratin lamination will not lose its shape, as soft ingredients do not react with keratin. After changing the usual shampoo on the organic appear noticeable changes in the appearance of hair. Hair becomes obedient, gain healthy shine and strength, and also shine as after expensive salon procedures.

Natural shampoos, which are based on herbs and essential oils, do not contain harmful sulphates and care for the health of hair. In addition, the composition includes such soft surfactants as:

• Monosodium glutamate. In shampoos, this component is exclusively beneficial for the scalp and hair structure. It is included in most natural cosmetic products and is added specifically for the formation of foam, as well as facilitating the procedure of combing.
• Glycosides. Used to create foam like emulsifier and conditioner. It perfectly smooths hair, facilitating styling and moisturizing the epidermis. These substances are organic, so they are actively used in cosmetics for babies, due to the fact that they have no side effects.
• Taurates Products of natural oils. They have a conditioning effect, gently foaming and perfectly cope with pollution.
• Isothionates. Organic substances that create a creamy foam and have a sparing effect on the skin.

In order to purchase high-quality shampoo of natural origin, you should pay close attention to the following characteristics:

1. Packaging. The plastic container should close tightly. Foreign smells or other damages are not allowed. The ideal packaging material is glass, which is quite rare due to the high cost. The color is better to choose dark, which prevents the penetration of sunlight that can spoil the quality of the shampoo.
2. Lifetime. Natural substances are characterized by a short shelf life, so the period from opening the container to the end of the shelf life ranges from 2-4 months. A shampoo in a closed container is valid for 1 year. If the manufacturer indicates the shelf life from the date of manufacture and promises a shelf life of 2–3 years, you should not purchase such products.
3. Composition. The components that make up the natural shampoo are usually written in small print and in Latin letters. Care should be taken to this item. The components listed at the beginning of the list have a higher concentration than the final ones, that is, if the essential oils are at the beginning, then the product is of truly natural origin.
4. Protective membrane. The presence of a film that prevents the ingress of harmful substances with air is an important feature in the selection process.
5. The ability to foam. If the hair product is natural, then its ability to foam is not clearly expressed. With the formation of abundant foam, it is worth thinking about the veracity of the manufacturer's promises about the organic composition. Aggressive surfactants obtained by refining petroleum products are able to accumulate in the human body, leading to irreversible changes at the gene level.
6. Consistency. For products based on natural components, a light and transparent texture is characteristic, while a creamy one, on the contrary, characterizes the presence of harmful surfactants in the composition.
7. Aroma and color. An unpleasant pungent smell is the first sign of the absence of natural oils and extracts in the composition, and a rich color indicates the presence of harmful dyes in the shampoo.

Quite a large variety of brands is represented in the market of cosmetic products that produce products without sulfates. These include Russian, Polish, Indian, American and other brands that are great for everyday use.
