Love to shampoo your hair?

Did you know? 

Every shampoo contains 4 basic types of chemicals. The first is surfactants, cleaning agents that strip dirt of the hair, usually harsh and leave the hair dry and brittle. Conditioning agents are added to rectify the pH balance. Foaming agents make it bubbly. Fragrances give shampoo its unique identity. Shampoos can have dozens of ingredients but they all fall into one of these groups. 

As mentioned in an earlier post about cosmetics, it's best to understand the ingredients list not only for the food you eat but also for the cosmetics you use, including shampoo - everything else might proof to be more harmful than good for you and your hair. 

Check out your shampoo on Skin Deep, the website with hazard-rating for cosmetics.http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/
