What most hair salons and shampoo companies do not want you to know, is that when you wash your hair with one of their "nutrient-enrich shampoos", most of those "nutrients" and "special active ingredients" are not doing anything for your hair. These ingredients actually end coming off your hair and down the drain - quicker than the shampoo went on your head! Umm.. can you say "waste of money?" Keep reading - we'll explain.
This happens because their shampoo has molecules that are too large to penetrate the cells of your hair. More importantly, these molecules cannot penetrate the follicles where your hair actually grows from. The shampoo will just sit on top of the follicles - and eventually get rinsed away - and not benefit the hair (as it was perceived when you bought their shampoo).
Think of this process in the same way you would if you were fertilizing a plant. You don't want to put the fertilizer down on the soil and then fill the plant with water and rinse it away before it took to the soil. Here is another way to look at it, you wouldn't want to put the fertilizer on the plants leaf, would you? No, you put it in the soil (similar to the hairs follicles) and let it enrich the growth from the roots! Same deal - you want a shampoo to help fertilize your hairs follicles. Who would have thought you could relate so many things to "mother nature"..
If your regular shampoo cannot penetrate the hairs follicles, then how are you going to fertilize your hair?
We have a solution - buy better shampoo! Trust us - this is easier said than done. Hopefully this article will educate you on the issues with the shampoos, which is the first step in fixing the issue (identifying the problem).
Here are the 5 most significant signs of damaged hair:
Your hair is thinning (lacks volume)
Your hair is dry & frizzy (you have a hard time managing it)
Is your hair lacking the luster it used to have
Are you getting split ends
Does your hair have a problem with retaining color
A good shampoo and proper application (a whole different topic) should help maintain the issues above. At the end of the day, not all hair is the same, but hair is hair! Just like your body - if you work out - you will be in better shape than if you didn't (same goes for brushing your teeth - we just thought that one might be too funny to explain in detail).
We are not trying to promote any shampoo in particular, but we do want to enlighten people a bit on hair care and let you know that not all shampoos are equal! Some are a waste of money! Before spending a bunch of money - ask your hair stylist for some recommendations, and make sure to let them know your concern about the shampoo not performing.
