Who invented head and shoulders shampoo

And smell handsome. This shampoo and conditioner does a really good job preventing and controlling itchiness and flaking, and it hydrates hair adequately in one shot. I will say that alongside the Full and Strong Advanced Thickening Treatment, hair does really seem to get fuller and stronger as advertised.

Get your own here. Many dandruff sufferers have excess oil in their scalp and hair, which is why the Head and Shoulders conditioners are generally very lightweight. This conditioner is good, smells really nice and furthers the anti-dandruff action of the shampoo, but it is not softening enough for those who have dry or damaged hair.

The Green Apple Dandruff Conditioner is a good option for anyone who wants hydrated, moisturized hair that is still free of rich buildup and feels super clean. A real fanatic. However, when I began my journey down the path to a more holistically centered lifestyle, I started re-evaluating all of the products that I used on a regular basis. From food to personal care — everything was open to scrutiny and sadly, once I turned my attention to my shampoo collection, I had to chuck nearly everything out.

While it certainly may be true that Head and Shoulders is a highly effective shampoo, the problem is that it is loaded with some potentially harmful chemical ingredients.

The reason for this is largely because our skin is porous — which means that whatever goes on it eventually winds up in our skin. That being said, there have been a few reported side effects to using Head and Shoulders shampoo over time.

Due to the high content of zinc pyrithione , a chemical known for drying out the skin, many have reported that by using Head and Shoulders over time has lead to the formation of a dry itchy scalp — which may ultimately worsen the effects of dandruff ironically.

Due to the fact that we tend to wash our hair with shampoos quite regularly, the effects of these chemicals can be worsened on our scalp. By regularly using the shampoo, we actively strip the natural oils and proteins from our hair follicles that keep them naturally hydrated.

This can cause them to dry out and become weakened over time, leading to brittle, frizzy hair and eventually hair loss. My rule of thumb is to stick to shampoos that are made from purely natural ingredients, as these are a lot friendlier to our scalps and hair in general. Hair loss is really difficult to treat, but preventing the effects of it is a lot easier when you use the correct products more often. Head and Shoulders shampoos are not sulfate free , which is an immediate deterrent for many who have been taught that people with dandruff should avoid sulfates at all costs.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a strong cleanser which makes it effective but also a bit harsh. One cause of dandruff is dry skin which is why flaking can worsen in the winter when skin is most dry, and in those cases sulfates should be avoided. However, most of the time dandruff is caused by an excess of certain fungi and oil which build up and irritate the scalp, and sulfates can actually help clear away sebum and oil or product buildup, thereby helping the situation for certain people.

Head and Shoulders follows the animal testing practices of their holding company, Procter and Gamble, which is a leading researcher in dependable alternatives to animal-testing, and have funded and conducted research that has marked milestones towards animal-free research.

However, a company that sells their product in China cannot technically be considered cruelty-free because all products must legally be tested on animals before they can be sold in the country. Head and Shoulders products are very well formulated and have helped people with dandruff stay flake-free for many years. These products are generally gentle enough to be used for daily use, but all anti-dandruff ingredients are at least a little drying, so you may want to alternate using them and a non-medicated shampoo or even using them only once a week if you have very light flaking.

Another tip is to switch up dandruff shampoos regularly because you can become more immune to a certain ingredient over time. It proved so successful that it was launched across America the following year.

When the product came out, it was a cream formula — but we knew we could make it even easier and more pleasant to use.

So we went back to the lab and spent years reformulating the product. We turn our formula into a shampoo. Not only is it clinically proven to fight dandruff, it smells good too! By , we had crafted a shampoo clinically-proven to remove dandruff with a pleasant fragrance.

Scientific research has always been a key part of our work to rid the world of dandruff, but new technologies have allowed us to go further than Dr Parran could have imagined. That meant we could go beyond getting rid of flakes, and treat the root cause of dandruff.
