Professional hair shampoos
The desire of women for beauty and self-care is strongly supported by the beauty industry. When choosing the right quality cosmetics, hair care becomes easy, pleasant and really effective. Professional tools, as the name implies, are designed for use by stylists and hairdressers in a salon. And almost every woman wants to look like she just came out of the salon, every day. The market fulfills any requirements of buyers immediately. And now we see professional products on the shelves of cosmetic stores, which previously could only be obtained in the salon or by order.
Let's see what is the difference between such funds from mass consumption products.
Peculiarities
Initially, it is assumed that professional hair shampoos will be used by a specialist hairdresser so that its effect on the client's hair is as effective as possible. The result should be visible immediately and brightly. At the same time, a hairdressing specialist can correctly assess the condition of the hairline and scalp, take into account all these factors when choosing the right product. All professionals before using special-purpose products undergo master classes and training from the manufacturer of the product.This is not done just like that.
You will learn how to properly apply shampoo in the following video.
The main difference between a professional cleanser for curls and a regular one is the concentration of active substances.
The effect of the application should be clearly visible literally immediately after washing your hair. Professional products can help get rid of such serious imperfections as dandruff, dryness and flaking of the epidermis. They can even treat hair loss, which is not available to the vast majority of conventional shampoos. However, it is also due to the incredible concentration, with the wrong choice of funds, it can seriously aggravate existing problems. Therefore, a doctor or, at least, a hairdresser with good qualifications and experience should select the drug.
The composition of such shampoos is enriched with a huge amount of active substances. Often these are vitamin and mineral complexes, natural essential oils and plant extracts.
Even with a high content of active elements, such a product can be used even every day.
The division of products is very narrow and the line of one brand is most often divided into a huge number of products. These are compositions for problematic, dry and brittle hair, for dyed and damaged, dull, thin, oily curls, for protection when using styling products and others. But among all this variety it is impossible to find products marked "2 in 1". Of course, for proper care, not only shampoo is required, but also balm-conditioner, various masks and more. But manufacturers of professional cosmetics follow the principle of a divided effect on the hairline and do not try to save consumers' money on packages.Therefore, all these products are presented separately and never dilute the shampoo.
All these factors are due to the rather high price category of such funds. But this is justified by the quality and effectiveness of the compositions.
Medical recommendations for choosing hair shampoos are in the next video.
Advantages
Based on the features discussed above, the following advantages of salon shampoos can be distinguished.
-
Reinforced composition. Due to the large number of active ingredients and their concentration, the product is one of the options for solving problems with hair. Cleansing ingredients fight even the most stubborn dirt and styling residues. In addition, salon shampoos contain a large number of mineral complexes, vitamins, plant extracts and oils.
-
Clear purpose of the product. Professional formulations do not have the miraculous effect of getting rid of all problems at once. But they are quite capable of quickly and efficiently solving one of the shortcomings of the hairline or scalp.
-
Many hair care products contain silicone. It is added to create a protective layer on the hair, giving shine and a good look. The problem is that under certain conditions of the hair, it is not recommended to use it. Salon products contain silicone only when its use is appropriate. At the same time, the high quality of the ingredient allows it not to remain on the hairs. Clogging pores and making curls heavy and quickly dirty, it is quickly washed out and does no harm.
-
The high concentration of the product allows it to be used economically, because a very small amount of the composition is needed for the required action. In addition, such products are often packaged in large packages, which in the end is more economical than a large number of small bottles. At the same time, you will have to make it difficult for yourself to buy a new package quite rarely, about once every six months.
-
Professional products allow you to qualitatively clean the hairline, ridding it of residues of styling substances, sweat, dirt and grease. But unlike ordinary products, they can be used even every day, without fear of making the epidermis of the head dry, and the hair shafts themselves - depleted and brittle.
Kinds
The content of a large number of important ingredients that have an effective effect obliges manufacturers of professional detergents to clearly categorize them for use. First, the products are divided according to the types of hairline:
-
Moisturizers for dry hair. They often contain hyaluronic acid to achieve the desired effect, which can literally accumulate water droplets.
-
For thin strands, products for volume are presented.
-
For damaged and painted. Keratin, panthenol, complexes of amino acids help in the action.
-
To combat split ends.
-
For mixed type, with dry tips and oily dermis.
-
To fight dandruff.
You can also find products designed specifically for light or dark hair, curly or wavy, graying hair, and so on.
Many lines represent individual products for men.
Most often they are aimed at solving a common male problem - hair loss.
Some salon products contain keratin and excipients that perfectly nourish and restore hair. The procedure for caring for hair using such products - keratin therapy - is becoming increasingly popular.
Almost all mass market products have an acidity index at the same level - 5.5.
This is the norm, which ensures that the use of the product will not harm the skin and hairline. However, different hair types require a different pH value, because different intensity of exposure to the epidermis may be required. Products from salons can have different acidity.
For complete care, professional shampoo is never used alone. With it, balms are always used to nourish and protect curls from environmental influences, to give them a shiny healthy look.
Compound
The composition of any hair wash consists of certain groups of ingredients. The basis is water, the necessary surfactants. They are complemented by various useful components.
You will learn more about the composition of shampoos from the following video.
Firstly, professional shampoo differs from the usual one in surfactants and their concentration.
These substances provide the ability of the composition to create foam and wash away contaminants. The simplest version of this substance is ammonium lauryl or laureth sulfate. It washes dirt well enough, but at the same time it dries the hairs and harms their structure. Sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate is much more commonly used. This is a higher quality material, but not the best. The safest and most gentle can be considered TEA lauryl sulfate. In addition to these options, others can be used, including those isolated from plant materials, for example, from coconut palms. But their cleaning ability is much lower.
The composition of the salon product depends on the structure and type of hairline.
Modern hair reconstruction techniques rely on the use of amphoteric polymers that even out the outer layer of the hair and restore it. Many products have among the ingredients substances that restore the base of the hair shaft. Typically, these additives are isolated from animal hair or plant materials such as wheat, rice, or soybeans. There are also products with keratin, which also allows you to heal the hair from the inside. A common supplement is provitamin B5, which has a positive effect on skin condition.
In addition to these main ingredients, essential oils, plant extracts, vitamin and mineral complexes may be present.
The best options for professional products are made without sulfates, parabens and carcinogens.
Which country makes the best
Professional products produced by American and Japanese brands have proven themselves to be excellent. Companies that have gained popularity strive to maintain their credibility and carefully monitor production technologies, the introduction of new products and quality control.
German and Israeli goods are also respected due to the scrupulousness of manufacturers and high quality. Goods from Israel often contain useful minerals and substances obtained from the Dead Sea. This gives cosmetics not only rich useful properties, but also a unique flavor.
The Italian brand is known for organic products and the use of only safe substances and natural healthy ingredients in the production.
Italy produces cosmetics unlike other countries. The careful attitude of Italians to their health forces companies to create only high-quality and natural cosmetic products.
The Belarusian market of cosmetics represents products of the middle price category, which allows you to purchase premium products even without high costs. The best products from this country do not contain harmful substances, sulfates, and are rich in useful active ingredients. The quality is not inferior to the advertised brands, but they have very attractive prices.
