How salon shampoos works?
Salon shampoos, biotin shampoos, or any other haircare product, it’s important to understand how salon shampoos work to keep your hair clean and healthy.
Shampoos are primarily made up of cleansers called surfactants. These surfactants remove dirt, sebum, and build-up from the hair and scalp, and rinse off easily and completely. But how do surfactants do their magic?
Surfactant molecules are hydrophobic, or water-hating, on one end, and hydrophilic, or water-loving, on the other. This way, as each molecule is introduced to the hair shaft, the hydrophobic end adheres to pollutants, pulling them from the hair. Then, when the hair is rinsed, the hydrophilic end gravitates to the passing water, taking the pollutants with it and down the drain. Remember, thorough rinsing is critical to the successful outcome of the cleansing action.
