Shampoo is the basis of any care. Most of us use this tool with enviable regularity. It guarantees cleansing and copes well with the tasks of moisturizing and nutrition. This is exactly what your hair needs all the time. The selection of a worthy option must be approached carefully. Not every expensive, widely advertised product copes with the tasks, and among the cheap products there are often worthwhile examples. Let's consider which moisturizing shampoo is best to choose for regular care.

Indications for use

Any moisturizing shampoo is indicated for use to maintain the condition of normal hair or care for dry curls. It is in the latter option that it is important to choose the right composition for regular exposure.

Only moisturizing care can prevent problems that develop due to excessive dryness of hair:

• formation of split ends;
• increased fragility;
• increased hair loss;
• decreased protective functions of the skin;
• deterioration in the appearance of hair (loss of shine, volume, lifeless state).

Regardless of the reasons that led to the change in the normal qualities of the hair, it is possible and necessary to restore them. At the initial stages of development of the problem, you can cope on your own using high-quality moisturizing foundations. Their action will help normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and provide the hair with the necessary support and restoration. The drugs are usually universal - suitable for solving men's and women's problems with dry hair.

How to choose

Buying a detergent to solve existing hair problems or preventively maintain curls in normal condition should not be spontaneous. It is recommended to take the choice of basic care seriously. Before purchasing, it is advisable to consider several drugs, familiarize yourself with the composition, principle of action, and customer reviews.

There is no need to chase cheap copies of unknown production. Only reputable companies take proper care of product quality. It is better to purchase a suitable option in a large retail chain, a store specializing in the sale of professional cosmetics (stationary or distance selling). Non-mass produced goods are often sold by official dealers and beauty salon workers.

A good moisturizer should have a predominantly natural composition. Most of the ingredients are of natural origin with varying degrees of processing. Be sure to contain moisturizing, softening, nourishing components, vitamins, oils, and plant extracts. Will speed up the recovery process:

• hydrolyzed proteins (keratin, silk);
• hyaluronic acid;
• lanolin;
• chitosan;
• ceramides.

It is advisable to stop using it if you have:

• mineral oil;
• parabens;
• formaldehyde.

These substances are potentially dangerous and harm the body. You should pay attention to the surfactants responsible for the cleansing process.

It is advisable to use sulfate-free, soft bases obtained from coconuts and other natural ingredients (corn, beets). The most common aggressive agents are sls and soda.

An important indicator of the quality of a moisturizing product for dry hair is the pH level. Ideally, the substance should have a slightly acidic, neutral environment. Alkaline compounds are excluded (numbers above 6–7). The optimal pH value is 2.5–5.5.

Kinds

The variety of types of shampoos is great. There are multifunctional and specialized formulations. Instances marked “2in1” and other options that promise a solution to all problems usually do not cope well with the assigned tasks. Such preparations are more suitable for caring for normal hair types.

Options marked "food" provide curls with complete saturation of useful substances. Such products usually contain a high content of natural oils, vitamins, proteins, and plant extracts. They help depleted hair, prone to brittleness and loss, to get full faster.

Options designed for recovery and protection, They do an excellent job of correcting damaged internal structure and soldering split ends. They contain an increased content of keratin and other protein components. Often the composition includes plant extracts, stem cells, and silicone to create a protective shell. The products are suitable for damaged hair with split ends.

Moisturizing foundations will be a salvation for severely dehydrated curls. The products are used to prevent and treat dry hair. They help restore hydrobalance faster or maintain it at an optimal level. In addition to oils, extracts and vitamins, such products necessarily contain softeners and moisturizers (glycerin, panthenol). The presence of proteins is of no small importance.

Quick navigation

The most common hair problem is . Dry hair looks dull and lifeless, it is more likely to break and split, and it needs special care to help prevent further damage.

Causes of dry hair and consequences

There are 4 types of hair in total: dry, mixed and normal. Initially, it was believed that hair type depended on heredity. We will consider only the first - dry hair. As it turns out, there are other reasons for increased hair moisture loss:

• Frequent hair coloring, heat styling and use deprive hair of a normal lipid layer, which is why excessive dryness appears. This is one of the main causes of dry scalp and hair.
• Choosing unsuitable cosmetic products for care. Very often, women cannot correctly determine their skin and hair type, which is why they may make mistakes when purchasing care products. If you have normal, dry scalp, then you should not use products for oily hair, so as not to dry out your curls.
• Poor nutrition. If there are no or insufficient vitamins and microelements in the diet, this immediately affects the condition of the hair. Add olive, camelina or saffron to your diet, and soon your hair, nails and skin will be transformed.
• Chronic diseases. Hair is an indicator of our health. To cure excessive dryness, you need to get rid of the ailments that exist in the body.
• Environment. Too dry air, solar UV radiation, pollution, hard water - all this negatively affects the scalp and curls, making them dull and lifeless.

Any of these factors spoils the appearance of the hair; to solve the problem of dryness, it is necessary to determine why the curls are losing moisture and begin to eliminate the causes. It is advisable to consult a trichologist for consultation, he will help you find the root of the problem and advise the best options to eliminate it.

Violation of the water-lipid balance not only affects the appearance of the hair, it also complicates combing, strands are more likely to get tangled, and split ends. Dandruff, electrification of hair and hair may appear.

How to choose shampoo for dry hair

A tool that almost everyone uses is . It is used much more often than other types of cosmetics. Shampoo performs the main function of cleansing the hair and scalp of impurities and sebum. In addition, modern shampoos have a number of additional functions that help solve scalp and hair problems. Each hair type has its own characteristics that must be taken into account when choosing cosmetics. And for dry, brittle and fragile curls, proper care is especially important. How to choose a shampoo and not regret it? Of course, refer to what is included in the product:

• Soft cleaning base. Bottles labeled SLS, SLES (sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate) are not suitable. These components are quite aggressive surfactants, which, with prolonged use, begin to damage the hair. Gentle foaming agents contain the words Glucoside or Glutamate. Ideally, it is recommended to choose organic-based products, but such products practically do not foam, so you need to get used to them.
• Moisturizing components. Glycerin, panthenol, betaine, any hydrolyzed proteins. They normalize the water balance, penetrating the scalp and hair, eliminating fragility, and stimulating the growth of healthier, more manageable hair.
• Natural oils. They protect against excessive evaporation of moisture, make the hair softer and more flexible, and nourish the scalp. The most useful oils are: coconut, almond, avocado, macadamia, argan and grape seed oils.
• Extracts from plants help fight hair and scalp problems, therefore, their presence in shampoo has a positive effect on the condition of dry curls.
• Keratin, lanolin, lecithin, silk proteins strengthen the hair shaft. The strands become more obedient, smooth, and less electrified.
• . There is still debate about their content in shampoo. Some claim that silicones are harmless and help give strands a well-groomed appearance, protect, and provide easy combing and shine. Others argue that silicones do not allow the hair to breathe, causing it to deteriorate even more.

Study more than just the shampoo label. Pay attention to the appearance of the packaging: it should be neat, not wrinkled, intact, the expiration date is easy to read, the label sticks well, and the packaging itself does not stain the skin. The shampoo itself has a thick and dense consistency, with a uniform color.

Shampoo suitable for dry hair can be purchased at any perfume and cosmetics store, hairdressing boutiques and pharmacies. Cost does not always play a major role.
