How Often Do I Shampoo?

josephkellner.com

We hear this frequently. Truly, shampoo is shampoo…and should work regardless of how long you use it. However, many times, we chose the wrong shampoo for our type of hair…or we chose a “cheaper” shampoo that will either leave a residue on the hair, or doesn’t work well enough to remove the residue of styling products. Over and above the daily brushing, it is necessary to remove from the hair dirt and all the secretions of sebaceous glands which accumulate on the scalp. The process of shampoo is divided in two portions so that you lather twice and rinse after each lather. Rinse thoroughly in plenty of water (preferably rain water) until the hair squeaks when you rub it with your fingers.

Now the question arises how often you must shampoo. Women are advised to shampoo once every 8 to 10 days for normal hair, once every fortnight for dry hair and once every, 5 to 8 days for oily hair. I would like to mention that too frequent washing of hair, however good the quality of the shampoo used, can in the long run cause damage to the hair. There is at present in the market quite a large selection of products ranging from ordinary soaps to medicated shampoos. Buy these products preferably from a chemists shop or a reputed general store.

There is a large variety of liquid shampoos presently available in the market. These synthetic detergents were developed during 1939-40. These soapless shampoos, whether used in hard water or soft water, leave no white deposit on the hair when dry. They also clean the hair more thoroughly due to their greater lathering and emulsifying power. Do not use ordinary household detergents to wash the hair. These are crude, very alkaline and can act as an irritant. Manufacturers usually add to the refined detergents soapless shampoo, perfume and other products such as lanolin and lecithin to render the hair supple and glossy after washing.

The Right Haircolor!

 

The best hair color advice is to learn how to choose the right color and treatment so you can create an exciting new look for every occasion. When it comes to choosing hair color, you should consider what shade will enhance your overall look and what type of treatment works best for your hair texture. While your ideal hair cut style depends on your face shape, your hair color should be based on a combination of factors including your natural hair color, eye color, and skin tone. The most important of these is your skin tone. You’ll look best in a hair color that complements your natural skin tone. Tone is used to describe the warmth or coolness of a color. In general, warm colors have yellow, peach, or red undertones and cool complexions have pink, violet, or blue undertones. In simple terms your complexion coloring is either dark, olive, peaches & cream or fair to light. Warm hair colors will be those with a yellow, golden, or amber cast and cool hair colors are ash blonds, ash browns, and black. You will look best in hair colors with the same tone as your skin. For example, warm skin tone will look best with warm hair colors. But what color suits you best? Finding the best colors for hair and complexion can be very complicated. Remember to consider how much upkeep you can live with, and make sure you have the time and the budget to maintain your new look. For example, a color that’s quite different from your natural shade requires a touch-up every four to six weeks. Once you have a hair color you like, you’ll want to keep it in its original shade as long as possible. You should avoid sun, salt water, and swimming pool chlorine for the first 48 hours after coloring. After that, you should use shampoos and conditioners specially formulated for colored hair.
