Natural Shampoo and Hair Loss
August 7, 2009
Hair loss is a common problem. It may be caused by nutritional deficiencies, genetic factors, or improper care. Lack of a proper hair care routine can lead to hair breakage, thinning, and hair loss.
There are several hair care products available over the counter. The primary product that we should look for is the shampoo. There are several different types of shampoos in the market today. It pays to understand what the active ingredients are before making a choice.
The purpose of a shampoo is to clean the hair and to balance the PH level of the hair. Hair is believed to have a higher Ph value than the rest of the body making it acidic.
Its Ph value is said to be around 4.5. This Ph level may be affected by the wrong choice of shampoos and hair care products like serums and dyes. Dyes for instance damage the cuticles of the hair causing this alteration.
This makes it important to choose a shampoo that will not affect the Ph levels of your hair. The first choice would be natural shampoos. These are rich in natural cleansers and natural oils making it a good choice.
Natural shampoos also have hydroxides of sodium or potassium that make them alkaline. While they are not known to be beneficial, they do not have the harmful effects of an acidic base.
Natural shampoos have the effect of making your hair appear dull. To counter this, lemon or even vinegar can be used to get sheen and have an alkaline base.
Natural shampoo is often made using soap nut or soapberry. It may be used in the form of a shampoo or a powder that can be mixed with water and applied to the hair.
While being healthy, some of them may cause irreversible hair loss or the hair may look limp and lifeless. Other shampoo options can be looked at. There are several brand names and sub categories that are made to suit various needs like dandruff control or frizz control.
It is important to choose a shampoo based on the Ph level of your hair to get the best effect. Treating the hair with a serum or conditioner after using shampoo results in better looking hair.
