At one time this issue for me was very important. Regular readers know that I worked as a manager in the salon professional cosmetics. Sin is not to test expensive professional tools that constantly buy the master of beauty salons.
In my home (you would not believe) 10 different brands of shampoo, 2 of them uses a husband. There are professional, pharmacy, dear Korean shampoo with camellia oil and ginseng root, which is the issue of damaged hair and dry-sectional tips decided with the first wash.
There are all these shampoos have one disadvantage: when re-using my dandruff. And yet so much that it's not combed!
The most interesting thing is that only two of shampoo that does not cause dandruff - from Fixed Price. Yes, this fact will surprise many (someone with the topic Fix-Pryce tired, especially to me), but it is. Meaning I kid you not.
Supporters of the budget beauty early to rejoice. Prof.shampuni work, they just need to use rare and as needed. All the same, the same KayPro deserves praise. It just so happens that I do not suitable for frequent use.
What's the matter?
A case in pH - quantify the level of acidity or alkalinity of aqueous solutions of chemical compounds. Simply put, the level of acid-base balance. This option is pay attention to dermatologists, cosmetologists, barbers, advanced users. I highly recommend it to everybody not to forget about the pH of funds.
I had my way - would be banned cosmetics manufacturers to sell their funds without pH level, so that the marking "for dry, normal, oily hair" - is nonsense, this is not enough. You can buy a shampoo for normal hair type, but its pH is high (close to alkaline), because this may appear dandruff, if you have a sensitive scalp.
Sulfate and Daily Conditioner, too, are acidic or alkaline (with a different pH). Aggressive components in sulfate shampoos that nightmare all who either laziness - too little importance on the fact of the parameter. Component aggressive, not because "kills" all around him, but because he works fast. Just do not have the means to hold such a composition on the skin for a long time.
Another thing pH. A little deal with now and this indicator will give a couple of tips.
Rewrite Wikipedia about pH I'm not going to. Who wants to dig deeper - zaguglit information.
Briefly: pH level measured from 1 to 14. Neutral meaning the water, equals 7 (neat and at a temperature of 25 ° C above the pipe 7).
All that is below 7 - acidic environment. Above 7 - alkaline environment.
Optimum pH for our skin - 5.5. This is not exactly correct to consider the optimal range is from 5.5 to 6.7.
Now consider how our hair react to funds with different pH.
At low pH (up to 4) creates an acidic environment on the hair. Cuticles sealed, become flat in the water do not swell, and visually, our hair becomes smooth and shiny. As in advertising. Conditioners, masks for colored and damaged hair conditioners have pH of from 2.5 to 6. That's why the use of balm or conditioner after shampoo - not a marketing ploy. This is the necessary means, unless, of course, in your best interest to have a shiny and smooth hair.
Apple vinegar and lemon juice are pH = 2,9 and 2.5 respectively. Yes, they do make the hair smooth and shiny. Just do not forget that apple cider vinegar is able to wash the pigment dyed hair, dry hair bar (if you overdo it with the dosage), and lemon juice - quite a strong allergen that can cause dermatitis.
At pH = 4-5,5 scales all so obediently close the hair shaft, the hair is still flexible, durable, brilliant, has a positive charge.
When pH = 5,5-7 scales are not so well adjacent to the hair shaft, there is need sparing agents and chemical treatments.
At pH = 7-8,5 hair fall in an alkaline environment. They become dry and brittle, because the scales of the hair parted, the very structure of the hair becomes brittle. There can no longer be used perm, oxidizing and toning dyes. And itself - no tar shampoo and soap (they have pH above 9).
If the hair pH above 8.5 - hair trouble. All scales of the hair raised, the hair becomes faded, broken, easy to go awry (comb without pain is impossible), strongly electrified.
One shampoo - a little
If you only use alkaline, it will swell the hair, tangle and eventually become brittle. However, such a shampoo is needed: it cleanses, removes any dirt from the hair, oils, silicones and styling tools.
Acid Shampoo though return the hair in an acidic environment, but the hair will quickly become greasy and take the form of a nozzle.
The best options:
1) for me and those who do not dye his hair (or does so very rarely): micellar shampoo or shampoo for all hair types with a soft compound, as well as air conditioning / composition. Micellar shampoo Vilsen Micellaure bought in Fix-Price, scalp I have a sensitive, well-washes, dandruff was gone, and the hair is not oily so quickly (my time in 2 days). Second shampoo Fixed-Price - Belle Coctail, also its main task (cleaning) performs without surprises;
2) after keratin straightening, laminating or painting in bright color - definitely Daily Conditioner. Otherwise, all performed chemical treatments to your hair - money down the drain. Use a sulfate shampoo after dyeing and lamination - this is after a shower running in the bathroom for big business.
And remember: if suddenly after using the shampoo you formed dandruff, you should not immediately panic and run to buy sulsenovogo shampoo. In this dandruff is not a fungal nature, you just need to change shampoo and reflect on acidic media.
