Essentials of Hair Care often Neglected: Hair Cleansing

Zoe D Draelos. Int J Trichology. 2010 Jan.

Abstract

Why does the selection of hair cleansing products and conditioners seem complex? Why are there clear, opalescent, green, blue, glittery, cheap, expensive, thick, thin, fragrant, and unscented varieties of shampoos and conditioners? Why the whole cleansing process cannot be simplified by using the same bar soap used on the body for the hair? Does the shampoo selected really make a difference? What can a conditioner accomplish?

Keywords: Essential of hair care; conditioner; shampoo.
