1. Dry Hair
Before going for an analysist of dry hair care, it is important to understand where the problem of dry hair comes from. For this, we must focus on the composition of the hair fiber. In its center is the material of the hair, called the cortex. It is covered with several layers of small scales (cemented together by lipids). This is called the cuticle.
In the case of dry and brittle hair prefer dedicated shampoos (and conditioner), are enriched in ceramides and without sulfates. Naturally present in the hair, ceramides help protect and nourish the hair fiber. It is the guarantee to find flexible lengths, shining and well hydrated.
2. Oily Hair
A shampoo bar for scalp and oily hair can perfectly clean the scalp which is covered with too much sebum.
Like oily skin, the “oily hair” effect results from an excess of sebum on the scalp, which is also distributed over the lengths. In question? Dysfunction of the sebaceous gland adjacent to the hair follicle. Normally, this gland, under hormonal control, secretes sebum. Coupled with sweat, it composes the hydrolipidic film (the protective barrier of the scalp), an essential element to lubricate the hair fiber. In the case of hormonal dysfunction, the gland overproduces sebum, resulting in a significant presence of sebum on the scalp and lengths.
3. Dandruff
Dandruff appears that a microscopic fungus called Malassezia is involved in excessive dehydration of the scalp and the appearance of dandruff. This fungus, or yeast, causes irritation of the scalp and fast renewal of scalp cells. Studies show that the amount of Malassezia is multiplied by 1.5 to 2 in the case of dandruff.
In other, rarer cases, the presence of dandruff is due to psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease that often affects the scalp.
In the majority of cases, the regular use (twice a week) of an anti-dandruff shampoo bar, for oily hair or dry hair, solves the problem. These shampoo bars usually contain an antifungal (which acts on the fungus), a keratolytic (an exfoliant) and soothing agents to fight against itching.
4. Hair Loss
Alopecia is a medical term for hair loss leaving the skin partially or completely naked. Pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, is the most common form of alopecia. It affects men especially. Hair loss is a natural phenomenon strongly determined by heredity. Other forms of alopecia can reveal a health problem or be caused by medication.
PURC’s shampoo bars are enriched with essential oils and toning plant oils known to fight effectively against hair loss. Rub your shampoo bar gently on wet hair to make it foam, massage your hair as with a classic shampoo and rinse.
5. Lifeless Hair
Lifeless hair, which can not do anything, does not respond to any product, does not accept any hairstyle, and despairs us?
It is all well and good to try to treat them but if we do not know why they are in this state, one, all our efforts may be inappropriate and therefore ineffective and two, even once revitalized, they can always become devitalized again if we do not eliminate the origin of the problem.
