Hair care products
Men often accuse women of spending too much money on hair care products. Women, in turn, accuse men of being indifferent and “blind” regarding women’s beauty. Yes, we spend a lot of money to make our image perfect, but we need everything we buy. Is it really so? Let’s try to find out the truth and analyze the use of hair care products that stand on the shelves of our bathrooms.
1.Shampoos.
Beyond all doubt, shampoo is one of the most popular and essential hair care products because we can’t be attractive and healthy with dirty hair. Nowadays there is a very wide range of shampoos and they are divided according to their action. Such additions as herbal extracts, essential oils, vitamins complexes and so on help shampoo to fight certain hair problems. Today we can observe the following kinds of shampoo: for dry/normal/oily hair, anti-dandruff formula, moisturizer, restoring, nutritive, stimulating hair growth, etc. Of course, the additional effects of a particular shampoo often depend on the manufacturer’s bona fides, but nevertheless, every shampoo can complete its main mission – to wash hair. Do we need this hair care product? Yes, 100%, absolutely.
2. Balms.
Cosmetologist and stylists say that the usage of a balm after hair wash should be a must. But actually, our hair can go without it in case of necessity. But still, if we want to have silky and glossy hair which doesn’t kink while combing, we’d better use hair balms which can be of the following kinds: balm-conditioners and balm-masks. The former is usually applied on hair for several minutes while the latter needs more time as its action is deeper. So, what’s the result, do we need balms? The answer, we suppose is 50/50.
3. Hair masks.
Among all hair care products hair masks are considered to be the most harmless as their main purpose is hair repairing. Hair masks contain a great number of vitamins and active components that moisturizer and nourish lifeless hair and scalp. Speaking about masks classification we can state that it is very familiar with those listed above (section 1) because it is also made up on the principle of hair types and hair problems division. The use of mask is visible only when hair suffers from any problems, that’s why not everybody needs them. So, we again have 50/50.
4. Sprays.
Hair sprays represent the category of contradictory hair care products, because some of them are harmful and others are useful. Frequent use of sprays for hair styling weakens our hair and destroys its’ structure, that’s why it is recommended to use them minimally, only on special occasions. But of course, there are lots of women in our world whose profession demands everyday participation in special occasions. Let’s move to the second kind of sprays – enriched sprays which are used for the purpose of “feeding” our hair with vitamins. Using them is not a must but a big plus for the health of our hair. One more kind of sprays – the ones with UF filter that protects our hair from the burning sun and saves the color of our hair. The alternative can also be found – you are free to use umbrellas and Panama hats in hot sunny weather. The use of all these sprays we estimate in 30-40%.
5. Styling products
Today we can see a wide range of hair care products used for creating styles. All possible gels, mousse, scums, hair sprays and waxes help us to fix the hair surely no matter how sophisticated the style is. But you should always keep in mind that all these cosmetic means affect our hair and make it weak and thin. The more the level of fixation is, the more harmful effect the product shows. We remind you that if you want to maintain the health of your hair you should avoid frequent use of such cosmetics unless it is strongly required. We give only 20% to such hair care products in order to make you understand their low-level of necessity for the majority of women.
6. Hair- dyes
Let us close our “hair-care-products hit-parade” with hair dyes that (again) belongs to the category of contradictory goods. On the one hand, we know that hair dyes can “burn” our hair especially when the usage instructions are not followed. That means undesirable serious damages for our hair. On the other hand, aging leaves its “evidence” – grizzle, which doesn’t make women more attractive. Unfortunately, nowadays we can solve this problem only with the help of “risky” hair- dyes or perukes, which often seem very unnatural. It’s hard to estimate the use of hair-dye because this product is necessary but harmful. Let it be again 50/50.
All in all, looking through our small investigation we can state that all the hair care products listed above have their value, otherwise there hadn’t been any base for their creation.
