What Kind of Shampoo or Conditioner is best?
Wearing hair extensions should be addressed just like your normal growing hair but in a more gentle way. We don’t want people to notice them as not part of our body; of course we want them to see our hair as if it is our natural growing hair therefore, care must given in order for the hair system to look and feel soft.
If the pH value is listed on the label, buy shampoo that is in the range of 4.5 to 5.5 pH. Ideally cream conditioner should not contain any of the following: Lanolin, polymers or heavy oils. These substances cause matting in 100 human hair. Keep the cream conditioner off the knots if possible as it can eventually accelerate hair loss. Leave in conditioner is generally a good idea. Not conditioning at all will cause the hair to dry out and become tangled, as hairpiece hair does not receive essential scalp oil like your growing hair.
Many shampoos contain ingredients designed to help them sell. Common ingredients that make no difference at all include so-called proteins, botanical extracts, vitamins, provitamins, sunscreen, fruit acids, alpha hydroxy acids, humectants, antioxidants, and many other things that will be rinsed away with the lather.
Some things in shampoo do work.
Ammonium lauryl sulfate is another way of saying detergent or soap. Soap makes a lather and the millions of air filled bubbles remove grease and dirt from the hair and whatever else you wash with it. Soap on its own cannot clean anything. Its the lather that actually cleans you.
Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is an ingredient that can close the cuticles and make the hair feel smoother and "bigger".
Dimethicone adds a coating to the hair and it is therefore a "conditioner".
Most after-shampoo conditioners contain a lot of useless ingredients also, but the dimethicone works.
Leave in conditioners can also help the condition of your hair temporarily, but don't mix, for example, a silicone based conditioner with an oil based conditioner. You might end up with strange feeling hair and have to wash it all out and start over.
Skin moisturizer can also be used as a leave in, but many are too thick and heavy.
How can we do that when we know that the natural growing hair gets its softness from the Sebum? Once our growing hair has not been shampooed for a few days, you will notice that the hair becomes oily, that is because it is being coated by the Sebum, this is where we get the softness of the hair, it keeps the hair moisturized and strong as well.
Lack of it will mean otherwise, and the hair system will lose its natural oil by constant shampooing. Cleaning of the hair system will eventually remove any trace of Sebum left on the hair shaft of the hair system.
What can we do to maintain the softness of the hair system? As always this is the same problem the wearers of hair replacement system have to face. We do not want them to look and feel like misplaced wire. Luckily, there are some ways that will help maintain the softness of the hair.
