The Benefits of Using a Good Shampoo and Conditioner
Shampoo and conditioners are the main products in everyone’s hair care routine. However, the ingredients that are found in some shampoos and conditioners can be harmful to the hair and scalp and can cause breakage, fallout, and may damage the hair. That is why it is important to know what ingredients are in your hair care products, especially when it comes to the shampoo and conditioner you use. Below we will discuss the benefits that a good shampoo and conditioner will have on the appearance and health of your hair.
What consists of a good shampoo or conditioner?
The criteria of having a good shampoo and conditioner is that it does not have any harmful or damaging ingredients, but instead uses natural ingredients. Harmful ingredients that should be avoided in shampoos and conditioners include sulfates, parabens, silicones, and isopropyl alcohol amongst many others, which are all damaging and can cause irritation as well as dryness. On the other hand, a good shampoo and conditioner should have ingredients that are good for the hair, which includes essential oils, vitamins, and hydrolyzed proteins. Next time you go on the hunt for a good shampoo and conditioner keep this in mind.
What are the benefits?
1.) Healthier looking hair and scalp
Once one makes the change from an ordinary shampoo and conditioner to a better shampoo and conditioner without harmful ingredients, one can instantly feel the difference in the look and feel of their hair. The hair should feel softer, smoother, and healthier within a few uses of a good hair care product. Products that contain harsh chemicals strip the hair of necessary oils which can oftentimes damage the hair by making it dry and limp, leading to frizzy and brittle looking hair. Sometimes, the harmful ingredients in some products can lead to product buildup, which could make the hair greasy and cause irritation on the scalp. The scalp is where the hair grows from, and depending on the care and health of the scalp, largely affects the way the hair looks and feels.
2.) Safe to use and safe for the environment
Some consumers may be allergic to certain ingredients in hair care products such as their shampoo and conditioner and don’t realize it. That is why it is beneficial to have a shampoo and conditioner that do not contain harmful ingredients which may cause allergic reactions. Keep in mind, harmful ingredients are not only damaging to your hair and scalp, but also to the environment. Some of these harmful ingredients are carcinogens and when flushed down the drain, are recycled back into the environment. However, good hair care products that do not contain such harmful ingredients are biodegradable or decomposable and do not have damaging effects on the environment.
3.) Prevents excessively dry or oily hair
The ingredients that should be avoided in good hair care products can cause dry or oily looking hair. A good shampoo and conditioner will balance the scalp’s environment while cleansing the hair, leaving the hair to appear clean and healthy instead of dry or oily.
4.) Aids in hair growth
Without the constant use of ingredients that wreak havoc on your hair, your hair and scalp will be much more healthy. When the scalp is not clogged due to product buildup or is not excessively oily or dry and flakey, new hair growth can form and grow out of the shaft with ease. This will allow more hair follicles to grow, resulting in more hair growth.
5.) Longer lasting hair color
Just as harmful ingredients can damage the hair and scalp, it can fade and strip away any color or dyes. However, shampoos and conditioners that do not contain such harsh chemicals can better preserve hair color for longer wear time. If you are someone that constantly dyes your hair, it is important to use hair care products that won’t cause more damage by making your hair weaker. Instead use products that will add nutrients back into your hair as they should have vitamins, proteins, and essential oils that are beneficial to achieve healthier hair.
