Shampoo: essential care for a healthy scalp
When it comes to your hair care routine, shampoo is the number one essential: a clean scalp promotes healthy hair growth. That’s why you should always choose a shampoo that suits the needs of your scalp. Fortunately, there is a wide selection available, so you can find the perfect product for dry, oily or sensitive scalps.
How shampoo works and how it is used
Shampoo consists largely of water and various detergent substances, known as surfactants. They absorb dirt, excess sebum and styling residues and remove them in combination with water. Depending on which surfactants and other ingredients are combined in the formula, the shampoo will be more or less cleansing. Therefore, a gentler shampoo should be used for dry scalps than for scalps that tend to become oily quickly.
To ensure that your scalp is properly cleaned when you use shampoo and your hair feels nice and light and fluffy afterwards, there are a few things to keep in mind when using shampoo. Before using shampoo, the hair should be very wet so that the product can be distributed evenly. Then put some shampoo in your wet hands and work it until it forms a lather. Apply the lather to the scalp, but not to the lengths. Then you should thoroughly wash out the shampoo so that no residue remains. When washing out, the product also cleans the hair lengths.
The right shampoo for every requirement
Now all you need is the right shampoo for your dream of a balanced scalp and healthy, shiny and supple hair. Here is a brief overview of the right shampoos for different scalp types:
- Volume shampoo: A volumising shampoo provides more body at the roots by cleansing more thoroughly. That’s why it’s best suited for scalps that quickly become oily as well as for fine hair.
- Moisturising shampoo: A dry scalp and curly hair tend to benefit more from a milder shampoo that doesn’t remove as much sebum and is instead enriched with moisturising ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and various plant oils.
- Detox or deep cleansing shampoo: A deep cleansing shampoo can help with particularly stubborn residues of styling products or limescale deposits. Apple cider vinegar and activated carbon remove even tough residues without irritating the scalp. You can use a detox shampoo about once a week as needed.
- Shampoo for sensitive scalps: Itching can be a sign of a sensitive scalp. Mild surfactants together with ingredients such as allantoin, panthenol and peppermint cleanse and sooth at the same time.
