It would seem that what is so tough? My hair is often - and success is guaranteed. But it is not so simple!
Water quality
The main problem - it's the water that we have to wash the body and hair. Ordinary tap water, richly saturated with chlorine, can hardly be called "the moisture of life." Dirt and grease it certainly washes, but at the same time brings such problems:
• dry and brittle hair
• hair ends are cut
• dyed hair quickly lose their bright color
• hair difficult to style
Well, what can advise? In the old days, even fifty years ago, soft water for washing hair collected in rain or melted snow, is now state of the environment is such that even in small localities where there are no hazardous industries and transport, it is risky to wash face and hair of a little water.
Best of all, on the advice of trichologists, wash your hair boiled water. Water softener it may be added: baking soda (1 hr. L. 1 liter of water), ammonia (1h. L. 2 liters of water), borax (1 hr. L. 2 liters of water) or glycerol ( 1 h. l. 1 liter of water).
Also, solution would be to use the filter - the filter tip of contemporary design set on any mixer (shower head) is quite simple.
Temperature range
When washing your hair as the water temperature is set: a common mistake - the use of too hot water. Too hot water activates the sebaceous glands, and thus the hair can acquire excessive oiliness. If the water is too hot, builders belonging to the shampoo, as it were "welded" and settle on your hair gray bloom, which is badly washed off. Start moisturize dry hair should be more cool water, gradually increasing the temperature. After the first application of shampoo makes the water hot that when flushing helps to remove dirt and grease from the hair, and then return to the warm water. Finishing washing, water temperature is reduced to a few more degrees. After rinsing useful to douse hair with cold water.
On the scalp, generally beneficial acts Contrast water temperatures in the wash.
How to wash my hair?
Choosing shampoo for all hair types from different manufacturers on the shelves of pharmacies and huge. How not to get lost in this variety? First, you should not rely solely on the pleasant smell and color and the presence of exotic ingredients. The amount of foam is also not very significant moment. First of all, you need to pay attention to the main component of the shampoo - detergents, they are called surfactants (SAS) or dergenty. They determine the quality of the shampoo, and their number depends on which type of hair shampoo is intended - for fat is higher.
Most of the following synthetic shampoos dergenty: Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ammonium lauryl sulfate), and Ammonium Laureth Sulfate (ammonium laureth sulfate). They are cheap, have good cleaning properties, is easily washed away from the hair. Their main drawback - dermatological rigidity, partially offset by softening additives (cocamidopropyl beta okamidopropil sulfobetaine, laureth-11 carboxylate, sodium sulfosuktsinaa, cocoamphodiacetate sodium cocoate glitseret).
The expensive, high-quality shampoos used softer dergenty: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (sodium lauryl sulfate), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (sodium laureth sulfate), TEA Layril Sulfate (TEA lauryl sulfate), TEA Laureth Sulfate (TEA laureth sulfate), they can be applied and for damaged hair.
Furthermore detergents, shampoos include preservatives, coloring agents, flavoring agents, viscosity regulators, pearl, and other additives. To improve the appearance of hair shampoos conditioners are often introduced. It does not always mix well - vinogda a joint application molecules of shampoo and conditioner neutralize each other. Although there are modern shampoos "2 in 1", where the conditioning additives have no effect until the rinse shampoo. As soon as the foam begins to dissolve in water, they are activated and envelop the hair shaft.
 But, in general, after all, experts recommend buying a separate shampoo and -conditioner separately, though, given the weaknesses of your hair. If your hair weak and brittle, you need protein (protein) air conditioners, for example, hydrolyzed keratin. Since the hair on 93% consists of protein, some plant proteins with small size molecules are able to penetrate into the hair shaft, filling the damaged areas, restoring part of the hair, giving it elasticity and shine.
If your hair is dry, then you will approach conditioners with moisturizers: glycerin, panthenol, sorbitol, propylene glycol, extracts of some plants.

• Avoid the "universal" and "" family "hair shampoos. Still, the hair deeply idividualno for everyone.
• If the shampoo does not foam, it does not mean its low cleaning effect. Some shampoos are less foam than others, but this is not reflected in their detergent properties. It is often more effective means less foam.
• Analyze the result of applying the shampoo. Shampoo for you, if after its application hair live, soft (but not too light and fluffy), shiny, elastic, scalp does not itch, and did not have allergic reactions.
Washing - a delicate matter
The smaller the shampoo, the better, otherwise there is a risk to dry up hair. Ideal - Mix a tablespoon of shampoo in a glass of warm water and apply in two stages on the hair. The second way: pre-pour the shampoo in the palm, and then apply it uniformly on the scalp. Pouring shampoo directly on the head, you create a high concentration of chemicals in the same place, which could then lead to a breach in it sebum.
Use your fingertips (not nails) to gently massage your scalp, then thoroughly rinse shampoo. Leave it need not be (if it is not provided in the instructions). If he stays too long on the hair, then dry the hair and scalp.
