I would like to talk about Shampooing today. Especially the importance of shampooing your hair. I think it is better to shampoo your hair every day, just like brushing your teeth every day.
Getting rid of dirt and keeping hair and scalp clean is the same as brushing teeth and supporting the teeth and gum healthily.
Many years ago, the quality of shampoos was not as good as they are today. It seemed that the strong cleansing agents were used in shampoo before; therefore, hair and scalp tend to get dry if you wash your hair daily. However, there are many good quality hair care products nowadays. For instance, some shampoos use very mild cleansing agents and moisturizing ingredients. You can choose shampoos depending on your hair and scalp conditions.
There are some disadvantages of using shampoo. It slows down the turnover of the scalp, if you don’t cleanse the scalp. Then, the scalp sebum will be oxidized. Oxidized sebum is tough to wash out because it gets hardened. Hardened sebum would clog the pores, leading to a troubled scalp. A troubled scalp often causes dandruff, irritation, and odor. Ending up, it would ruin the healthy hair cycle.
I sometimes see very oily hair due to excess oil on the scalp. This condition makes it less effective even if you use high-quality hair treatment. Because oil will prevent the treatment from better penetrating hair.
It is essential to use good shampoo for a clean, healthy scalp. It is because Healthy hair grows from a healthy scalp.
