Criteria’s to judge a good shampoo
July 7, 2011 Hair Care, Shampoo
How do we know whether a shampoo is good or bad for one? One thing that suits someone doesn’t necessarily suit another person. We need to know our hair texture and the type of skin our scalp has when deciding about what shampoo to buy. Secondly the decision to buy a specific shampoo also depends on the user’s hygiene habits. Deep cleaning shampoos are used to cleanse any hair products that have been used earlier, this kind of shampoos are used for individuals who regularly use hair products which reduce their hair manageability in the long run. So, if the build up is bothering you, go for a cleansing shampoo.
Consumers with dry skin, coloured treated hair and frizzy hair are encouraged to use conditioning shampoos which have moisturizers in them such as silicone. Baby shampoos are mild and are used by babies as they need a product that does not irritate their eyes. The “no more tears” tag indicates that the shampoo does not contain harsh ingredients. Anti dandruff shampoos are used for people who have flaky and dry skin.
Recently dry shampoos have also been introduced in the market as they are easy to carry around and travel with but they don’t completely satisfy the consumer’s hygiene needs. Most of the shampoos have some common ingredients but it is important knowing about the ingredients of the shampoo you’re about to buy since it is going to have a vital effect on your hair in the long run. Knowing whether the shampoo has been approved by the health regulatory authorities should be one of the top points in one’s checklist. Advertising agencies have been very clever with the bottling and the packaging of the shampoos which attract customers and aids in them overlooking their actual needs. Most importantly, when buying shampoos for yourself “never judge a book by its cover”.
