Shampoo Benefits for Hair

Shampoos are designed to cleanse the hair and scalp, removing dirt and grime without stripping away too much of the natural sebum. They contain cleansing agents, perfume, preservatives and conditioning agents that can coat the hair shaft to make the hair appear thicker. The conditioning agents smooth the cuticle scales so the hair does not tangle, and help eliminate static electricity from the hair when it dries.

Shampoos are available in different formulas to suit all hair types and conditions. Make sure you choose one that is right for your hair and use it as often as necessary to keep your hair clean. Rinse out the shampoo thoroughly.


The object of shampoo is to cleanse the hair without stripping it of natural oils leaving it supple, tangle-tree, glossy and full-of-body. Choose a shampoo that is formulated to suit your hair type. Normal hair needs a balanced cleanser; dry hair needs gentle cleansing and greasy hair requires deep cleansing.

Experiment with trial sizes of shampoos to find products that suit you. Remember always to rinse hair very thoroughly after shampooing to avoid any residue build-up. Also, be aware that the condition of your hair changes all the time depending on your health, chemical treatments and the weather. Products that are perfect for you at one point in time may need to be changed to allow for these variations.

If you suffer from dadruff beware of strong anti-dandruff shampoos. Try an organic product first and if the problem persists consult your doctor or a trichologist.
