Tar shampoo

Each of us wants to have healthy hair, and the first step to getting it is a healthy scalp. There are various problems that hinder the health of the skin, and the most common is increased oiliness and, as a result, dandruff.

Hair follicles produce natural oils, which are essential for keeping hair healthy and shiny. But sometimes, due to the excessive use of cosmetic shampoos or chemical dyes, you can upset the fat balance and get such a nuisance as dandruff.

Another cause of dandruff can be bacteria in the hair roots. Seborrhea, psoriasis and a number of other skin diseases can also lead to itching, redness, inflammation, accompanied by dandruff.

Tar is a brown liquid that is obtained from the bark, which has a sharp specific smell. Usually it is birch bark, but there is tar from juniper, pine, beech, and even coal.The tar contains a lot of phytoncides and organic acids, phenol and toluene are present.

The effectiveness of tar shampoos is explained by the fact that it is a keratolytic. This is the name of a substance that causes rapid exfoliation of dead cells from the surface of the skin. Thus, cleansing occurs, irritants are destroyed, blood flow to the hair follicles increases, stimulating hair growth.

At the same time, it thins the skin, removing the top layer with bacteria and fungi present on it. Keratolytics have the ability to slow down the growth of bacteria, which also helps to relieve the symptoms of psoriasis and seborrhea.

A side effect of a drug containing such a substance may be the development of skin dermatitis, skin ulceration, hypopigmentation or skin atrophy, therefore, it must be used with caution, especially for sensitive skin.

It is recommended to consult a doctor before starting to use tar shampoo:

1. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or are a nursing mother;
2. if you are allergic to any medications or foods;
3. If you are taking medication (there are a number of prescription medications and supplements that can have negative effects when interacting with tar);
4. if you are on an herbal or medicinal diet;
5. If you cannot tolerate any type of treatment;
6. If you are suffering from eczema.

A dermatologist will comprehensively approach the choice of a shampoo suitable for each individual patient.

You should also consult a doctor if, when using shampoo with tar, a person experiences side effects:

1. itching or redness of the skin or the appearance of any other type of rash;
2. Burning after washing hair;
3. Sensitivity to sunlight after using shampoo;
4. Swelling of the face, lips or tongue after washing;
5. Difficulty breathing or chest tightness after shampooing.

While these reactions are rare, it's always best to check with your doctor if you notice something bothersome, as tar shampoo is a powerful remedy.

Usually in the composition of tar shampoos are present:

1. Synthetic or natural foaming agents;
2. Directly tar (birch, coniferous or coal tar);
3. Extracts of burdock, chamomile, oats, St. John's wort;
4. Panthenol;
