Shampoo

Shampoo is a liquid or gel-like cleansing product formulated for cleaning the hair and scalp. It removes dirt, oil, sweat, dead skin cells, and styling products, and is a standard part of personal hygiene routines.

Types of Shampoo

  • Regular shampoo: For general hair cleaning.
  • Moisturizing shampoo: For dry or damaged hair.
  • Clarifying shampoo: Removes buildup from styling products or hard water.
  • Medicated shampoo: Treats scalp conditions (e.g., dandruff, psoriasis).
  • Color-safe shampoo: Formulated for dyed or treated hair.
  • Dry shampoo: Absorbs oil without water, used between washes.

How to Use

  • Apply to wet hair, lather, massage into scalp, and rinse thoroughly.
  • Follow with conditioner if desired.

Health and Hygiene

  • Regular shampooing helps maintain scalp and hair health.
  • Overwashing can strip natural oils, leading to dryness or irritation.
  • Frequency of shampooing depends on hair type, activity level, and personal preference.

Environmental Impact

  • Choose biodegradable and sulfate-free formulas for less environmental impact.
  • Avoid products with microplastics or harsh chemicals.
