What effects do soap, shampoo, and conditioners have on hair?

Shampooing removes sweat and dirt from the scalp. It also removes the sebum, the oily secretion of skin that protects the hair, along with the dirt that sticks to it. Clean hair feels good, although without the conditioners it can be very unmanageable.What effects do soap, shampoo, and conditioners have on hair?
Don't know about soap, but I wouldn't use it on my hair.


As for the shampoo and the conditioner, the shampoo is slightly acidic so if you wash your hair with it, make sure you follow it up with conditioner (which is slightly basic), and they will cancel each other out and make your hair neutral again. Which is good.What effects do soap, shampoo, and conditioners have on hair?
1. soap reacts with Calcium %26amp; Magnesium ions in the water and forms an insoluble scum. When you use soap to wash your hair, the insoluble scum is invariably left behind making your hair feel nasty and unclean. http://thebeautybrains.com/2009/04/20/wh鈥?/a>





2. There are 4 types of shampoo http://thebeautybrains.com/2007/03/03/th鈥?/a>


A. Cleansing Shampoos - These shampoos are designed to get gunk off your hair and scalp. (produced as: volumizing, clarifying, balancing, oil control, or thickening)


B. Conditioning Shampoos - Cleanses but leaves behind a conditioning agent like silicone to make hair feel smooth. (Aka Moisturizing, 2 in 1, Smoothing, Anti-frizz, Strengthening, Color Care, Straightening, and Hydrating)


C. Baby Shampoos - milder, lower foaming surfactant formulas that are designed not to sting or burn your eyes


D. Anti-Dandruff Shampoos - These are medicated shampoos that contain a drug ingredient that controls itching and flaking. (aka Anti-itch, Flake Control, and Dry Scalp)





3. The positively charged surfactants in hair conditioner are attracted to the negative charges in your hair, and do not rinse out completely with water. When the hair dries, it is coated with a thin film, which adds weight, makes the hair easier to comb, and prevents static electricity from building up and 'frizzing' the hair.

my dad used to use soap on his hair and it looks gross as always ;D


he switched to shampoo and his hair is nice now ;P


conditioner is good once in a while, but not too often either..but they all have chemicals so beware lol :]
Since all have a percentage of chemicals they will leave your hair ad scalp dry. Hydration and nourishment is what you need to look for at least once a fornight if not then once a month is a must.
Dont put soap on your hair.


Shampoo cleans your hair.. so its always essential that you use this. It also stops it from getting greasy.


Conditioner softens and moisturises your hair so its essential you use this too!
The soap make it greasy, the shampoo cleans and the conditioners make the structure weaker due the enzymes.
soap is for the body not the hair.


Shampoo cleanses.
