The insidious component of shampoos
To make your hair beautiful and he althy, you need to choose the right shampoo. And here, for many consumers of modern mass-market products, there is a significant catch. From TV screens you can constantly see advertisements in which girls are stubbornly instilled with the idea that he althy hair can be obtained using the shampoo of the advertised brand.
In reality, things are exactly the opposite. The vast majority of modern shampoos containa substance called sodium lauryl sulfate. It has cleansing properties, helps shampoos lather. However, it also has a number of negative properties - it spoils the scalp, interacts with heavy metals, and is toxic.
You can neutralize the effect of this component if you hold your hair for about 4 minutes in water before washing your hair. They are saturated, and lauryl sulfate will penetrate only into the outer surface of the hair. However, the best option for those who dream of really he althy hair is natural shampoos. Currently, you can find many brands that produce similar products. These are shampoos such as Planeta Organica, Mulsan Cosmetic, Freederm, Logona, Davines and others.

Cowshing
Recently, such a type of care as co-washing has become popular. It seems that this term alludes to taking a shower in a pleasant company, but in reality it consists of two words of the English language: "conditioner" - "air conditioner" and "wash" - "wash".
