In the autumn and winter of the north, if you don't have your own car, you don't need to deliberately style your hair before going out.
When you walk out of the house, close your eyes, and receive the baptism of nature, you become lazy French in minutes.
As for Liu Hai'er? Non-existent, look at my flying hair—
Winds are more likely to adhere to dust, the temperature rises, and the secretion of oil is also very strong.
At this point, the choice of shampoo is very important.
I believe that when you buy, it is based on propaganda, such as oil control, anti-hair loss, hit the heart has not! Place an order! Buy it!
I don't know if anyone will look at the ingredient list behind the shampoo bottle, look at the text alone, combined to become a book of heaven, obscure...
Although it is not a constituent party, it knows itself and knows the other, and it will never lose a battle.
How to choose a shampoo that suits you better?
I want to emphasize a little first, just looking at the ingredients, you can indeed see some things, but the final effect of the shampoo, whether it is irritating, how to use it, often related to many factors such as process and source of raw materials.
Well, let's look at a few basic questions.
————
What's in the shampoo?
Today's focus is on the women (left) section.
Water: Most abundant.
Surfactants (primary, secondary): play a cleaning role.
Thickeners: You won't guess, the main ingredient is sodium chloride (salt) to increase the consistency of the shampoo.
Foaming agent/stabilizer: there are cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamide MEA, etc.
Conditioner: smooth effect. There are dimethicone (silicone oil), polyquaternium-10 (silicone-free shampoo), guar gum.
PH conditioner: The PH of the shampoo should not be higher than 5.5, and the weak acidity is more in line with the scalp environment, such as citric acid and lactic acid.
Preservatives: the content must not exceed 1%, such as sodium benzoate.
Special additives: such as moisturizing, anti-dandruff, soothing and other functional ingredients.
Colors, flavors and more.
In what order is the ingredient list arranged?
According to the "Instructions for the Use of Consumer Goods And General Labeling of Cosmetics":
The amount of > 1% of the ingredients added should be arranged in descending order. Such as water, surfactants, etc.
But ≤ 1%, only after the main ingredients, there is no fixed order. Like preservatives, various extracts, flavors and the like.
A regularly produced shampoo, the ranking must be: water + surfactant + other.
If the content is less than 1%, there is no effect?
Of course not!
Some plant extracts should also be labeled separately according to the composition.
For example, "2% aloe barbadensis leaf extract" is added, of which aloe vera leaf extract accounts for 0.6%; water accounts for 79.4%; butylene glycol accounts for 20%. In this way, the composition of a single extract, ≤ 1%, can only be ranked behind.
Like salicylic acid, some functional ingredients, are not the higher the concentration, the better the effect.
The following will begin to introduce the front line, can determine the main tone of a bottle of shampoo (mild type or strong type), play a cleansing role of surfactant (referred to as table live) ~ ~
You need to know, which surfactant grabbed the grease and dust stuck on the hair and scalp?
1. Zwitterionic type
Good cleansing ability, good foaming ability, low irritation to eyes and skin.
The commonly used betaine type, simple to identify, with "betaine" at the end, such as cocamidopropyl betaine.
There is also a name that is very long, but hides "two sexes" in the middle, which is too low-key.
Often and the following non-ionic table live appears in baby products, but also commonly used to alleviate some of the stimulation of anion table activity, it can be said that the conscience teammate ~
2. Amino acid type
It is also mild and low-irritating, avoiding excessive cleaning.
The name is very complex, generally "xxyl XX acid sodium", such as sodium lauroyl glutamate.
There is also a modified SLS family that has become low-irritating and highly foaming, "XX methyl XX acyl XX taurine sodium", like methyl cocoyl sodium taurate (there is a feeling of abandoning darkness and casting light.
But be aware that amino acid surfactants ≠ amino acid components (glutamic acid / arginine).
The former is cleansing, the latter is moisturizing~
Japanese shampoos prefer to amino acid table activity and amphoteric ion table activity, interested partners can go to check ~
3. Non-ionic type
It is the mildest of all types and can help improve the antistatic properties of shampoos.
Common are "glucoside", what cocoyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside and PEG-methyl glucose dioleate.
In one word, expensive! It is mostly used behind other table activities as an aid.
4. Sulfate/sulfonate type in anion
The cleaning ability and foaming ability are super strong, but there is a certain irritation.
Excessive cleaning can leave hair dry, rough and easily knotted.
You should all be familiar with this. Generally with "XX sulfuric acid" and "XX sulfonic acid", often said SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), SLES (sodium laureth sulfate).
Whether it's a supermarket opening or a professional salon, this kind of ranking may be very high...
Mainly mild surfactants, expensive.
And although the low degree of foaming does not necessarily mean that the cleaning ability is weak, the thick foam is still more likely to capture people's hearts.
Leaving aside the process and talking only about the ingredients, it is not enough. Stimulation is not exciting, but also depends on the collocation.
Now easy to buy collocation is mainly sulfate + amphoteric ion table activity / amino acid table activity, and then more expensive, you will see the non-ionic surface activity figure.
While cleaning is good, it will not be too irritating.
To summarize:
Which shampoo to buy, scalp decides
Although every day says shampoo, shampoo, but in fact the focus is on cleaning the scalp.
According to the above summary, it is not very simple to choose according to the situation of your scalp
For dry or sensitive scalps, single-ingredient SLS/SLES is too irritating, which will make the scalp dry and dry, sensitive and sensitive, itchy, dandruff to join in the fun.
Oily scalp options are relatively wider, but excessive cleaning can also lead to scalp problems.
In short:
Dry/sensitive scalp: Generally select amino acids, amphoteric ion table mainly shampoos.
Oily Scalp: Depending on the level of oil production, alternate between two different types of shampoos, such as daily cleansing (mild/compound type) + deep cleansing 1-2 times a week.
Options for other groups of people:
Men: In the case of producing a lot of oil, it is more suitable for cleansing compound shampoos.
Infants: amphoteric and nonionic, mild and non-irritating.
At this point, you will find that after understanding the basic direction of a bottle of shampoo, the remaining choices are actually based on time, place, and people.
Let me give you an example. Dry scalp, eating hot pot/running, sweating a lot, and occasionally using a compound shampoo with an anion table live is also OK. Oily scalp, travel to a very cold place, may not be so exuberant secretion of oil, choose some mild more in line with the current needs.
With the change of seasons and age (crying), the state of the scalp is different.
The principle of shampoo use is to keep the scalp environment healthy, or to be flexible
