Hair Shampoo

The primary function of a Hair Shampoo is to gently, but completely, cleanse the hair and scalp. The shampoo is preparing the hair and scalp for your conditioner. So if your conditioner was great, then you changed shampoo and your hair has fallen below par (or what you would normally expect from your hair), you may first want to look to your hair shampoo, and not blame your favorite conditioner.

Hair shampoo removes "the good, the  bad & the ugly" from your hair, preparing it for the return of "The Good", or those things you want to put back into your hair and on to your scalp with your hair conditioner.

Did you know the first hair shampoo recipe we heard of said to disolve1-bar of castile soap in one gallon of water? Diluting one bar of soap in one gallon of water to make shampoo tells us that bar soap is way too strong to use on your hair and scalp every day. Common sense indicates that it would be best to avoid washing your hair with bar soap whenever possible.

Hair shampoo for hard water is another matter altogether. If you are among the unfortunate many who have hard ward, using a Hard Water Treatment for your hair can make a big difference. Hard water can cause the following hair care problems: your hair feeling dry, your hair becoming resistant to coloring or perming, dandruff or eczema of the scalp, dry or flaky skin, thinning hair, hair color fading quickly, perms appearing to fall out, discoloration or darkening of the hair, and hair lacking body and shine. If your hair is suffering from one or more of these problems, and you have hard water, a good Hard Water Treatment for your hair can make a big difference! After you use a hair treatment for hard water, you can slow down the return of hard water hair minerals by using  Well Water Shampoo and conditioner by EC Mode.

We are hearing about shampoos that are sulfate-free and DEA-free. When formulated improperly,  sulfate surfactant shampoos will cleanse your hair and scalp very well, but can over-strip the hair of its natural oils. However, when formulated with the right blend of ingredients, these high-lathering shampoos are excellent for all hair types, including your color-treated hair!

A great way to try out new shampoo is to buy travel size bottles or foils. Both foils and travel size bottles are designed for travel and, generally speaking, they are not cheap. The general rule of thumb for extraordinary deals is buy big to save big.  You save money by buying larger quantities, such as liters, gallons, or half gallons.  The travel size and foil options offer you an opportunity to try new products before committing to the more economical, or larger, sizes.

Most people want a shampoo that meets the specific needs of their hair. The general needs that most shampoos meet are: a shampoo that is safe; a mild shampoo; shampoo made from naturally derived and environmentally friendly ingredients; a shampoo that conditions, smells great, & rejuvenates your spirits.
