If you have dry or damaged hair, you know the importance of restoring health and vibrancy back into your hair. Your hair can become dry or damaged from a number of things, from blow drying to sun damage or chemical processes that you may have applied to your hair in the past. Certain shampoos and other hair products can help restore moisture and hydration back into your hair. If over-the-counter products aren't improving the condition of your hair, you may need to visit your dermatologist.
Moisturizing Shampoo
Moisturizing shampoos effectively restore moisture back into your hair, according to DermNet NZ. Moisturizing shampoos, of any brand, work productively on dry, flyaway hair. Moisturizing shampoos often contain protein, which helps bond your hair back together, helping to restore split ends and make them look better. The protein also helps your hair absorb moisture more efficiently and helps keep your hair from becoming even drier. It also increases the volume of your hair to give it a thicker, fuller appearance.
Baby Shampoo
Baby shampoo contains gentle cleansers and less detergent than adult shampoos, which can benefit damaged hair, according to DermNet NZ. Since the cleansers used in baby shampoos are gentle, they may not effectively cleanse your scalp if you use a lot of styling products as they're not designed to clean adult hair. Due to the delicate nature of the cleansers, you can ensure that your hair will not become more damaged by harsh or heavy surfactants used in regular shampoos. If you opt for using a baby shampoo, you may want to use a regular shampoo once or twice per week to thoroughly cleanse your scalp.
Revitalizing Shampoo
Revitalizing shampoos specifically treat damage due to color treated hair and permed hair, according to DermNet NZ. They contain gentler cleansers than regular shampoos, yet they're stronger than the cleansers used in baby shampoos. If your hair is healthy enough to use a revitalizing shampoo, it may benefit your hair better than using a baby shampoo. Even though revitalizing shampoos contain gentle surfactants, they effectively cleanse your hair and scalp which may be important for you if you use styling products such as gel, hairspray or mousse.
