Frequent washing of hair leads as it is paradoxical, to deterioration in their health and loss of beauty. The good solution of this problem - replacement of industrial washing cosmetics by natural shampoos.
Still quite recently – about 20-30 years ago the habit nearly daily to wash the head could seem strange and even causing suspicions. Hair of any length washed, as a rule, once a week, using neutral soap or badly foaming Soviet shampoos.
The captivated shelves of shops in post-Perestroika times bright jars of shampoos loudly stated that now the head can be washed as often as hair demand it - even daily.
Formula 2-v-1 which has become pleasant wonder, i.e. shampoo and balm rolled into one, have convinced the population that washing of the head and the truth, does not cause any problems any more: fluffy, fragrant foam well deletes all pollution, hair become volume, easily comb hair, are not electrified.
Now the habit to wash the head at once as soon as hair lose freshness, has become the norm.
However it is impossible to tell that it has done our hairstyles good: too frequent use of active washing ingredients leads to the fact that natural lubricant is lost by skin fat, head skin is dried up, work of hair bulbs worsens, hair become fine, fragile …
Stories about the rural grandmothers, till extreme old age who have kept long braids thickness in hand – not legends and not fairy tales. Just they had neither opportunity, nor need to subject beauty and health of hair to test by frequent washing with use of aggressive chemistry.
Against the background of unification wave popular today with the nature and to return to its sources, the increasing number of people passes to healthy food, use of natural fabrics, finishing materials and cosmetics.
Beauty of hair will depend directly on ways of care for them, and refusal of industrial shampoos – one of the important steps leading to improvement of head skin and hair bulbs.
Ways to wash the head without use of shampoo exists much: by means of mustard powder, soda, grain crumb, eggs, cosmetic clay, ashes, soap nuts … For each type of hair it is possible to pick up the means.
