Português

Introducao

You know that o one thing para do when seu hair e dirty e para hop into o shower para clean it. All you need e some shampoo para wash seu hair e um conditioner para soften e moisturize it too. Then there e o soap you need para clean seu body, e you know how o chemistry behind o soap works when it comes para cleaning o body - ou maybe you don't. That will be para another discussion. Many people wonder how shampoo can wash seu hair e why you need um particular shampoo para clean um specific hair type. You may also wonder how there are shampoos that can adequately clean treated ou dyed hair. So let's delve into o chemistry behind how shampoo cleans seu hair.

O que Does Shampoo Do?

You may think seu hair e dirty if you did not wash it para days, e yes, it does need some cleaning, but seu hair e not dirty as you think. That e unless you are purposely playing around em mud ou having food fights com others where it lands em seu hair. O/A accurate way para describe seu hair that you have not washed para some time e that it e dull e greasy. That e because sebum e o fatty substance that comes de o glands em seu scalp, e you have it throughout seu skin.

Too much sebum also can result em acne on seu face e can cause seu face para feel greasy o same way as seu hair does if you do not wash it para days. However, you need sebum para keep seu skin protected as well as seu hair e hair follicles. Your hair has um healthy shine when it e clean e em good health because de o healthy levels de sebum.

That e because o substance coats e protects o outer keratin coating de every strand, which e why it has um lovely shine.

However, if you do not wash seu hair very often, o levels de sebum will become unbalanced, e that not only risks you developing acne, but it will cause seu hair para appear dirty.

Once o sebum accumulates, that will cause o hair strands para clump together, e that causes seu hair para appear greasy e dull. Additionally, pollen, dust, e other chemicals will attach themselves para o sebum, e that e how you end up com "dirty" hair.

O/A one thing para know sobre sebum e that it e hydrophobic, which will make seu skin e hair waterproof.

Therefore, you can wash away dirt, dust, pollen, e other particles. However, you can never wash away oil e sebum regardless de how much water you use. That e why you need shampoo para do o job.

Shampoo Can Work Its Magic

Quando you are ready para wash seu clothes, you know that you do not end up com clean clothes if you do not use detergent.

O/A same goes para seu skin which e why you need soap. Therefore, shampoo e essentially um detergent. Whether it e laundry detergent ou shampoo, detergents work as um surfactant, which reduces o surface tension de water. It helps stop it de sticking para itself e encourages it para bind com other particles, including oil. There e um part de um detergent molecule that e hydrophobic as that e o hydrocarbon part.

That part de o molecule e what causes o oils e sebum para bind para it. That e em addition para any styling products that have oil em them.

O/A molecules em detergent also have um hydrophilic part which means it responds very well para water. Therefore, when you wash seu hair, you are sweeping away o shampoo. You are also removing o sebum e other oils e dirt along com it. That e o primary way how shampoo cleans seu hair. However, there are other ingredients em o shampoo that deserve o credit para doing their job too.

O que Ingredients In Shampoo Help Clean Your Cabelo?

You don't want um shampoo that only cleans seu hair. You want one that can wash seu hair e nourish it by promoting um healthy appearance. That e why you have ingredients em seu shampoo that can do that. In addition, there are conditioning agents that will help replace o protective coating after washing seu hair, add shine, smooth o cuticle, e help detangle seu hair.

Finally, o shampoo contains fatty alcohols that will keep static e frizz at bay.

O/A shampoo also contains protectants such as sunscreen e heat protectants, which can help protect seu hair de o sun e o damage de heat. In addition, there are also chemical protectants em shampoo, which can help prevent chemical damage de treatments e swimming.

There are also functional ingredients that keep o mix de o shampoo healthy e can help prevent mold e bacteria de growing em it.

In addition, some preservatives can help increase o shelf life. Finally, cosmetic ingredients do not affect how o shampoo washes seu hair, but colorants e fragrances.

However, one type de shampoo would not work para um specific kind de hair. There are also other ingredients em shampoo designed para colored hair, dry hair, oily hair, e normal hair. Many shampoos can include sulfates which can dry hair, e if you have dry ou colored hair, you will want para avoid shampoo com sulfates.

Therefore, all shampoos work o same way, but not all de them are o same as they should not be.

Does Lathering Up Clean Your Cabelo More?

Many shampoos contain ingredients that cause lathering, but lathering em itself e not going para help clean seu hair em any way at all. Many shampoos have lathering agents because consumers like them, e it has nothing para do com improving o shampoo.

Therefore, if you like o lather, you will want para go para o shampoo that provides um good lather because it has plenty de o agents that cause it.

Conclusao

You know that you need para use shampoo para clean seu hair, but why does shampoo work'? Por que can't you use regular soap para wash seu hair? That e because regular soap does not have o agents e ingredients that will specifically clean seu hair o same way that shampoo does. O/A shampoo has molecules that will remove sebum e other oils e dirt that water will not wash away since water itself cannot wash away sebum. However, remember that you need some sebum as it helps keep seu hair healthy. You don't want para accumulate where it can cause seu hair para become dull, greasy, e attract dirt e other particles. That e why you need para wash seu hair com shampoo!
