The selection of hair care products is really large at the moment. And prices range from the smallest to the most incomprehensible amounts. So it’s no surprise that a frequent woman who visits a hair care department remains lost. Many questions arise - what chemicals in shampoos and conditioners are right for our hair, what does one or another inscription on the shampoo label mean and how to distinguish really good, non-damaging products from primitive and poor quality products. So what is the most important thing to pay attention to when choosing tools?

True professionals and beauty masters have to participate in various trainings, seminars, continuous improvement and education in order to be able to flawlessly distinguish good, high-quality products. We share a few, very simple and 100% effective tips that, even without a hair specialist nearby, will help you not to make a mistake and choose the best product on the shampoo shelf.

Shampoo can also be harmful

Hair loss and weakness, balding, dandruff, scalp problems are problems caused by chemical hair care products that a significant number of consumers face. And the biggest problem is that when trying to stop hair loss or problems like hair breakage or dehydration, many people fall into a vicious circle.

We solve hair problems by resorting to chemically aggressive synthetic products, which are produced on the basis of oil products, silicones, sulfates. Such measures do not nourish the hair from the inside and have a short-term restorative effect for the hair from the outside. Therefore the problems become even more serious over time.

Aggressive chemicals in hair care products not only damage the hair and scalp, but increase the risk of cancer, dermatitis, asthma, reproductive system disorders, thyroid diseases. The greatest risks are posed by Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). It is a substance that is toxic to the human body.

What substances to avoid?

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS), which is often found in shampoos, foams abundantly. Although it helps to wash your hair more easily, this substance accumulates on the scalp, irritates the scalp, eventually dries out, damages the hair structure. These dangerous, synthetic compounds can be converted to much greener substances, for example, look for products with saponin-rich medicinal foams. It is also important to know that shampoos of natural composition usually have less foam, have a more liquid consistency, their smell is not intense, but gentle, pleasant.

Also avoid silicones that film the hair on the outside but dry the hair on the inside. Silicones are labeled with -cone at the end. It is a substance that can give a very fast but very temporary effect. Hair becomes fluffy for a little while, but then it takes some time to restore it to normal.

The hair is also dried with mineral oils and ammonia. They clog the skin and can cause dandruff. Naturally, alcohol and unnatural fragrances are also not the best choice for your hair, especially if you are quite allergic or have sensitive skin. The most common allergenic elements are: methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, ethylparaben, benzalkonium chloride.

KLIPSHOP has a separate line of products that have a particularly high-quality composition, are valued by hair stylists and meet the price-quality ratio. The products of this line make it easier to comb the hair, moisturize it, protect it from combing and give the hair a silky feeling.

What substances to look for on labels

Chamomile and aloe vera extracts revitalize and strengthen weak hair. This is especially important during the cold season. The high concentration of chamomile extract in shampoos accentuates the shine of blonde hair. If you find beer extract on a label - do not be afraid. Thanks to it, the hair becomes more elastic and shiny, easier to comb. Well, nettles and sweet flags have a special effect on falling hair. However, it is also worth remembering that sweet flags darken the hair a little at the same time, so it is more suitable for brunettes, but is often found in hair care products.
