Everyone wants beautiful hair and for this they try various products which boast of reducing hair fall, making hair smooth and shiny and increasing hair growth. The effect of these products varies from one customer to the other, owing mainly to the differences in hair texture. The most popular hair product is hair growth shampoo which includes vitamins for hair growth such as vitamin B complex and vitamin E, as well as other essential plant extracts and keratin. In this article we will see how this shampoo affects the hair and what alternatives to this shampoo are available.
Hair Growth Shampoo
As hair growth occurs in the hair follicles in the anagen phase of haircycle, the hair growth shampoo motivates the follicles to speed up development. The hair growth vitamins present in the shampoo also produce the same effect. Other essential nutrients from plant extracts resist irritation of scalp and keep it healthy. On the other hand, if the shampoo is used every day, it is said to wipe off the essential oils from the scalp which may lead to dandruff. Keratin present in shampoos is also harmful if they are used in excess. Furthermore, many shampoos contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) which may inflame the scalp, cause eczema and even cancer. Thus, the user must look for shampoos which do not have SLS and also consider the alternative ways to wash hair.
Alternative Method to Wash Hair
A method adopted by many people, including hairstylists and experts, is to wash hair with salt and vinegar. The idea is to dissolve one teaspoon of salt in water and rinse hair with it, followed by vinegar which softens hair. This does not only lessen the use of harmful shampoos but also protect your scalp, making your hair healthier.
Conclusion
The best way would be to not wash your hair too often and when washing use the two ways mentioned above alternatively but the choice ultimately rests on the consumer.
