...detour ant, but the improved ingredients, improved quality, and the satisfaction of knowing your hair not only looks healthy, but is healthy are all reasons why I prefer more expensive shampoos or the more economically friendly brands. Paul Mitchell and Suave differ greatly in cost. Most grocery stores carry products like Suave; which can be purchased for around a dollar a bottle. Paul Mitchell products on the other hand are carried strictly in hair salons and also are much more expensive. Paul Mitchell products tend to be around twenty to thirty dollars a bottle. This is one of the very few disadvantages of Paul Mitchell shampoo products. With the hefty price tag, Paul Mitchell also comes with much more quality than Suave. Suave is a very mild, concentrated formula that does not give the shine and softness that Paul Mitchell does. Paul Mitchell has different formulas for different types of hair. This allows you to have a customized shampoo that your hair will receive many benefits from. Once I made the switch from Suave to Paul Mitchell products I noticed a big difference in the weight and texture of my hair. Styling my hair became a breeze because it no longer required as much product to keep my hair in place for the entire day. Paul Mitchell shampoo contains no silicone. Silicone which is often times found in suave products provides a nice shiny appearance, but causes hair to become heavy from all the left over residue, flat, limp and hard to style.

...Topic Effectiveness of Brassica oleracea (broccoli) in treating weak and damaged hair Background Study Many people, especially the women, depend on the shampoos and conditioners which they see as effective treatment for hair damage. According to a famous hair damage control shampoo brand, hair damage can be caused by the following: 1. Salon machineries and chemicals. Perms and relaxers can cause damaged hair and they can change the shape of the hair via the agents in them that first break the disulphide bonds in hair. The hair is then formed into its new shape and neutralized. This is the term given to the re-shaping of the chemical bonds in their new positions—the process that fixes the hair permanently into its new shape. Hair colour, which can also cause damaged hair, changes hair by penetrating the cuticle to enter the cortex, which damages the F-layer. 2. Sunlight. The ultraviolet light in direct sunlight affects the cuticle in a similar way to bleach, eventually breaking down the keratin protein in the hair. This can result in light streaks and dryness in damaged hair. 3. Over brushing/combing of hair. Hair is by nature fairly robust and can withstand a lot of styling abuse, but it can still be damaged by over-zealous brushing and combing, especially if it’s wet and/or tangled. Metal combs as well as backcombing can cause damage to hair as it tugs against the scales of the cuticle. Once hair has been backcombed the delicate scales of the cuticle are lifted, and the next...

Discuss the implications of your analysis of Q.1 for both the category the brands involved in the study. The inferences made in Q.1 can result in several implications regarding herbal and non-herbal shampoos.

In the Indian mass market, it was found that among non-users of shampoo, most do not engage in washing their hair very often, with the majority of respondents washing their hair only once (48%) or twice (43%) per week. In those instances, most persons indicated that they didn’t use Shampoo to wash their hair, but rather alternative products such as Shikakai or soap; only 24% of the respondents used shampoo. Although rural India was considered to be a significantly ‘dark’ media market, with only 38% TV penetration, this medium plays a substantial role in creating the need for and increasing shampoo usage with 96% of respondents learning about shampoo via TV advertising; TV also influences some 51% of the market to purchase a particular brand of shampoo. A vast majority of respondents indicated that they have actually heard about, seen an advertisement, selected and also used the Clinic Plus and Chik Shampoo...

...Abstract Hair and health have an existing relationship, yet little is known about the relationship between stylist hair care practices and encouragement of self-care in the African American community. The hair cosmetic industry has undergone a revolutionary change over the last two decades, dramatically veering from merely cleaning to repair, increasing the tensile strength, reducing oxidative damage, and stimulating growth. Unfortunately, the psychological and physical consequences of improper hair care by stylists have resulted in “hair stress” in the African American community (Winfield, 2008). The problem under investigation is what are physical and psychological processes of growing healthy African American hair, where people look good on the outside and feel good on the inside. This study utilizes a content analysis approach for using YouTube tutorials to support the “Growing Hands Theory” that encourages proper hair care practices related to physical and mental health for people of African descent. Core Concept Definition Healthy Hair Healthy hair is a result of hair care and self-care. Hair care varies from different hair types because all hair is not the same, but all hair benefits from individuals having appropriate nutrition, hydration, exercise, stress management, and restorative sleep. Strausfogel (2013), focuses on internal and external strategies for better hair growth. Many of these products that claim...
