A black and thick hair is what every girl yearns for, just like Nanxiang, there are a variety of shampoos on the market.
There are countless silicone-free ones, oil control ones, and repair ones, but there will always be some companies that add something to the shampoo in order to save money, which causes many people to lose their hair, baldness, and even cause cancer.
So what shampoos are really "poisoned shampoos"?
Children's shampoos are carcinogenic
Since many people are now saying that there are many problems with adult shampoos, many people are now starting to start with children's products, and after many Internet bloggers have evaluated, everyone is surprised to find that children's products are not only easy to use, but also cheap.
Just when everyone thought that children's products were very trustworthy, there was an accident with a children's shampoo, and this product is believed to have been exposed to by most people, that is, the American brand - Johnson & Johnson.
In 2019, the Drug Control Center of Rajasthan, India, released a report that after testing Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo, they found that it contained formaldehyde and asbestos, both of which are harmful substances.
Maybe we don't know much about asbestos, but we are very familiar with formaldehyde, like the new house we have just renovated have to be placed for a period of time to be able to live, because there is formaldehyde in it, long-term exposure will cause people to suffer from cancer.
Asbestos used to be used to make fireproof materials, insulation materials, automobile brakes and clutch plates, and insulators for some electrical appliances, but now it is very rare.
Because asbestos is very harmful to human health, and it is already an internationally recognized carcinogen, so many countries and regions have banned the use of asbestos.
Johnson & Johnson also issued a statement later, but no one wants to believe the brand anymore, because this is not the first time they have had this problem.
Their previous baby powder was also found to have carcinogens, and there were really people who suffered from cancer because of using this product.
Just a few months before it was detected as a carcinogen in India, a U.S. court ordered Johnson & Johnson to compensate a woman who developed cancer with Johnson & Johnson products for $29 million, or 195 million yuan.
However, this is not an isolated case, and the number of cases affected by Johnson & Johnson products in the United States alone is as high as more than 13,000, which is really appalling.
However, in the face of this fact, Johnson & Johnson has always denied it, insisting that formaldehyde and asbestos do not cause cancer, but finally in June this year, Johnson & Johnson finally agreed to pay a total of 5.1 billion yuan to many victims.
In this way, Johnson & Johnson, a product that has been around for a century, has lost the trust of the public, and everyone must also look at whether there are these two substances in the shampoo when choosing a shampoo.
Detect a wide range of daily necessities in large quantities and prohibit materials
Nowadays, many daily necessities have problems, such as toothpaste and skin care products that we use every day, and there are often news that they contain carcinogens, so now the country is becoming more and more concerned about the testing of daily necessities.
Last year, the State Food and Drug Administration issued a notice, there are 19 batches of cosmetics testing in addition to prohibited raw materials, most of them are some skin care products and shampoos, the following is a report from People's Daily Online, to see if there are any commonly used products, if there are any, replace them quickly.
Although the Drug Administration has ordered the relevant cosmetics operators to stop production, there may still be some merchants who stock up on these goods, so everyone must pay attention when buying related products.
I thought that under such a policy, many manufacturers would pay attention to it, but I didn't expect that in the cosmetics sampling test exposed by Guangming this year, there were even more unqualified than last year.
This starts with a total of 27 batches of unqualified products, of which Brimless hair dye is in the ranks of unqualified, and this time the Food and Drug Administration said that the company's violation of the regulations is serious, and it will be dealt with in accordance with the law after verification.
Silicone oil and silicone-free oil
I believe that many people can find that many shampoos nowadays have been advertising themselves as silicone-free shampoos, and also claim that such shampoos have a very good effect on oil control and high cranial crown, so that silicone oil shampoos have been rejected by everyone.
I don't even know where it came from, but shampoos containing silicone oil not only cause hair loss and baldness after using them, but there are even rumors that using such shampoos for a long time can cause cancer, is this true?
In fact, no, in comparison, it can be found that the price of silicone-free shampoo is several times higher than that of silicone-based shampoo, and many people will default to silicone-free shampoo in it.
Coupled with the vigorous promotion of Internet celebrities in the live broadcast room, and the slogan "silicone-free, not irritating", everyone has set off a wave of buying silicone-free shampoo, but such a shampoo may not be suitable for everyone.
Silicone-free shampoos are developed to adapt to Western consumers, because most people in Europe and the United States have softer hair, so silicone-free shampoos are more suitable for them and can also create a feeling of high cranial crown.
Nowadays, many people have begun to pursue a high cranial crown, so it can sell well, but most of the Chinese people's hair is hard, and now many people like to dye and perm their hair, so the hair will be dry, and the use of silicone-free shampoo will be even drier.
But some people say that it is better to do it than to cause cancer, in fact, silicone oil does not cause cancer, and it will not cause hair loss.
Everyone knows that ancient people's hair was very good, and that was because of the natural plants they used, and with the development of the times, silicone oil, which was similar to those natural substances, appeared.
The scientific name of silicone oil is called "polydimethylsiloxane", it has very good viscosity and ductility, and silicone oil is actually not volatile, and it is also toxic and corrosive, and the safety is very high, so the statement that it is carcinogenic is nonsense.
Everyone must have another question, this silicone oil is insoluble in water, will it clog pores, and then cause hair loss? Actually, there is no need to worry.
Almost all products on the market containing silicone oil are within 15%, and the concentration of silicone oil in shampoo is only about 1%, which means that every 10 ml of shampoo is only 0.1 grams of silicone oil.
The oil produced by the scalp every day has 1 gram, in fact, don't worry too much, and the oil will continue to drain from the scalp to the outside, if there is really a small amount of silicone oil into the scalp, it will be discharged quickly.
In fact, silicone oil has been used in shampoos for more than 70 years, and the reason why it is added to shampoos is of course has many benefits.
First of all, we want to understand our hair, which is mainly made up of keratin, and the outside of the hair is made up of 7-10 layers of dead cells, which protect the core of the hair inside, which is what we call the cuticle.
However, when we wash our hair, we will wash off the oil on it, and the cuticle will be curled, so our hair will become knotted and even look very dry.
Coupled with the reason for perming and dyeing hair, the more oil-deficient the cuticle will be more exaggerated, and silicone oil can solve such a situation, so silicone oil is actually a good thing, and you don't need to be afraid of it.
Silicone oil is also very useful in skincare products, it can help us to lock in the moisture of skincare products applied to the face, and the effect will be better than no addition, but it should not exceed the standard.
How to wash your hair properly
First of all, the water temperature when we wash our hair, many people prefer to wash their hair with hot water, because this will not catch a cold and fever.
However, washing hair with hot water can irritate the sebaceous glands, especially for people whose hair likes to produce oil, and it will also increase the rate at which the hair is oily, and even damage the scalp and hair cuticle, so we can wash our hair with water that is very close to our body temperature.
There is also the Internet said that the shampoo is foamed and then put on it, many people think that it is redundant, in fact, this will really reduce the irritation of the shampoo to the scalp, and the resistance is not very good and even causes inflammation.
There is also hair conditioner, many people think that using more conditioner can save their hair from problems such as split ends and dry hair, so every time they wash their hair, they can't wait to use a whole bottle.
But in fact, this will increase the burden on the scalp, we only need to apply the conditioner to the rough areas of the hair ends, and try not to touch the scalp.
If you feel that your hair is too coarse, you can wear a shower cap after applying conditioner to help your hair absorb the nutrients from the conditioner.
I believe that many people like to rub their hair vigorously with a towel after washing their hair to let it dry as soon as possible, but when we just wash our hair, the cuticle is still open, and the hair is very fragile without protection.
And when we rub it violently, it will damage the cuticle and make the hair rougher, and many people attribute this result to the shampoo.
When we want our hair, we can wrap it in a hair dryer cap or a towel, and the towel will absorb moisture very quickly, which is not convenient and will not damage the hair.
Finally, it must be blown dry, because the hair will grow bacteria in a semi-wet state, but some people will think that the hair dryer will damage the hair, so we can blow the hair until it is dry.
epilogue
Nowadays, many people are troubled by hair loss, so they will find various products to deal with it, in fact, hair loss is also because the pressure of today's people is too great, and many people also like to stay up late, which leads to endocrine disorders.
If you want to protect your hair, choosing the right shampoo for your hair type and washing your hair in the right way is one thing, and it is also very important to adjust your routine and mood.
