DANGERS
OF SHAMPPOOING TO OFTEN
There
is a large believe that hair has to be shampooed every day. This is a
huge misconception! Actually once or twice a week is more than
sufficient. Even for those who are avid exercise enthusiast or people
with oily hair. Remember the sun is the biggest cause of hair damage,
then followed closely behind by too frequent shampooing. Customers
are unaware of the cause and effect of every day shampooing.
Frequent
shampooing strips' all the hair's natural oils along with removing
its much needed moisture. When this happens the hair becomes
porous,dry, brittle and dull. Each one of these conditions, interfere
with all chemical procedures. Whether done at home ( which can be
disastrous) or within the salon. The damage becomes extensive over
time. When hair is wet it becomes extremely snarly and straw like
feel when dry. This, then becomes challenging to comb through. adding
more damage by breaking hair while combing or brushing. In the finish
styling of your hair, it will look very frizzy, and dull. The
coloring portion also becomes challenging. If not careful you'll get
uneven deposit of color leaving a spotty look to the finished
product. Hair can also go darker than desired along with quick fading
of color.
These
are also some of the more common problems that take place. That's why
the client consultation is so important, one of our question will be:
HOW OFTEN DO YOU SHAMPOO? By shampooing http://www.pksalon.com/store/shampoo.html#leader1 once or twice a week you
start to eliminate the problems. Using professional products makes a
huge difference. Since the most common ingredient in store bought
shampoo is table salt. Salt make less expensive shampoo thicker and
cost effective.
Frequent shampooing
stimulates the sebaceous (oil) glands on the scalp. By over cleansing
the scalp your body gets tricked into thinking its dry so the oil
glands go into overdrive and produce excessive oil on the scalp. Now
this is when the merry go round starts with over shampooing and
excessively oily scalp and hair. Brushing your hair with a natural
bristle brush is a fantastic way to help spread the oil down the hair
strand. The hair that is away from the scalp (mid-legnth and ends)
needs the oil and moisture to stay healthy and strong. If the scalp
environment is not cleansed properly this is when further problems
can occur such as dry flaky buildup and dandruff.
We
are a strong proponent of conditioning treatments especially keratin
treatments and deep treatments. You need to put back into the hair
what we are taking out by shampooing and other stresses: mechanical
or chemical. By doing moisture and reconstructive treatments www.pksalon.com you are
only improving the hairs condition http://www.pksalon.com/store/shampoo.html#leader3 to a certain extent. Cutting your
hair helps more than any other treatment. By snipping off damaged dry
ends the hair will have more bounce, shine and style more easy. Once
the damage is cut off you need to treat the hair gently so the damage
and dryness does not come back to an extreme case.
