Shampoo for clean, vibrant, shiny hair

The two most important steps for healthy, beautiful hair are keeping it well nourished and clean. Shampoo can help with this. Hair is damaged by physical factors like dirt and oil, and other factors such as poor nutrition, not drinking enough water, stress, and lack of sleep. Shampoo is intended to clean the scalp and hair strands by loosening collections of dirt and oil and removing dandruff. Consisting of mainly water, detergent, and some type of fat or oil, shampoo is well designed for this task.

In America we wash our hair with shampoo daily. However, excessive washing of hair (especially with anything containing harsh chemicals) can be damaging and should be done appropriately. If washed daily, be sure the shampoo contains vitamins and minerals and is designed for your type of hair. Using the following six techniques can help keep your hair remain healthy and shiny.

1) Don't use too much shampoo! Use an amount equivalent to the size of a quarter and then rub it on your hands, into a lather, before gently massaging it into your hair. This will help ensure that it has been applied evenly.

2) Dry and normal hair types need a gentle cleanser. Oily hair needs a stronger cleanser to remove the excessive oil.

3) While price is not a clear indicator of quality, generally speaking, you get what you pay for. Check with somebody from your trusted Hair Salon to find out what they recommend for your type of hair.

4) Hair needs a break every now and then. Try one of our Home Remedies and use something other than harsh chemicals. (If you thought Mayonnaise was only to be put on bread -- think again!)

5) Rinse thouroughly using warm water (if the water is too hot, it can damage your hair!). Use cool water for the last 10 seconds.

6) Be sure to use Conditioner to get the best results possible and add luster and control to your hair.
