Hair care can be difficult and unsuccessful, especially when you do not pay much attention to products. They are the ones that make our hair look great, have shiny volume and texture. They are also the ones that can make your hair break, dry or lose its shine.
Therefore, taking a random shampoo off the shelf is not the solution. Here are some extremely important factors to keep in mind when choosing your care products:
- hair texture: is your hair thick or thin? Is it wired, is it hard to arrange? Carefully read the label of the product you want to buy and take the one that suits your texture, depending on the ingredients it has;
- the problems you have: Do you lose your hair or do you have dandruff? Then your shampoo should solve these problems, not aggravate them. If your hair is dry, choose a moisturizing shampoo;
- hair history: do you have dyed hair? Choose a specific shampoo. Be very careful, if the hair breaks easily, has no vitality and is without volume, opt for products that solve these problems.
You also see how important the products you buy are, not only in terms of the problems you want to solve. The ingredients they contain can cause you more problems.
The label is on the product with a reason, so if you want to have hair that is easy to style, read it carefully and document yourself. As you know there are many chemicals, there are some ingredients that you must beware of, no matter how good that product looks.
Sometimes, even if the price is high, the product can be really toxic. So when choosing hair products, be guided by your needs and the ingredients of the product, not by price.
Here are the ingredients to watch out for
Alcohol. No skin product should contain alcohol, at least not at the top of the list of ingredients. Even when choosing a face cream you have to be extremely selective. Alcohol is just as harmful in hair products and can be extremely dangerous. It is found in hairsprays, masks and gels and leads to excessive drying of the hair. The alcohol in the products is what leads to hair breakage, dry appearance and maintenance weight. Beware of him.
SLS and SLES (Sodium Laurel Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate). Regardless of the specialist you ask for, be it a dermatologist or a hairstylist, you will find that the two ingredients should be avoided. They are two very strong chemicals that you can still find on the label of detergents and toothpastes. May cause scalp irritation and allergies.
Silicon. Many products you use have silicone. It is the one that can also give shine to your hair, but it is dangerous for both hair and scalp. It covers the hair and does not let the conditioner do its job and give you the nutrients it has.
Parabens. Oh, parabens are everywhere. That’s why you’ll see them on many commercial labels. On the shampoo, conditioner, mask, spray, almost anything in the trade has parabens. However, it is important to avoid them as much as you can. Parabens not only affect the hair, but also the scalp. So opt for products that do not have parabens.
Other preservatives. They are Imidazolidinyl urea and diazolidinyl urea. Some of the most widely used preservatives, they are the clear cause of contact dermatitis. They are particularly toxic to the epidermis, hair and more.
Perfume. There is a very long discussion about perfumes. And you already know that any cream that has perfume also has irritants and so it is not good for your skin at all. Especially if it is a sensitive one, you will see that in a few months you will develop sensitivity in the skin and you will make pimples. So it is with hair care products. The perfume attacks both your hair and your scalp. And the result is the same: dry and breaking hair. Even if the smell is nice and strong, it is not necessarily useful. However, there are shampoos with less fragrance that smell just as good.
