Dressing every day

The most popular items for the care of appearance - this shampoo. They are all, regardless of gender and age, even those who are indifferent to other cosmetics. But we know how to choose them right?

So, what is to be guided with the purchase of sanitary facilities? On the promoted brand or the high price? Or maybe on a nice package, a pleasant smell, thick consistency and interesting color? Or, for example, on the amount of foam which it provides. It turns out that none of these figures - not a guarantee of high consumer properties.

What to taste hair

Many make this choice empirically, i.e. by trial and error. I liked the way - then it is the most suitable. However, each of us has their own ideas about what is good for the hair, and that - no. For example, many people believe that hair should be washed creak of purity. And if you hear the "creaking" that enjoyed the right choice. But from shampoo it requires much more than a simple washing off grease and dirt. The hair should shine after drying, to be obedient, moist, supple, well-combed, and scalp - to be moisturized and soft, without irritation and dryness. In addition, a good shampoo should smooth the hair cuticle, making it smooth, but without weighing.

Your shampoo to cope with all this? Congratulations! Use it to continue.
