Basic hygiene means taking a shower at least once a day. Many people spend a lot of time and effort in the shower so that they look, feel and smell good. But most of these efforts are uneven since the face gets most of the attention.
Hair usually gets the least attention. The only hair care routine many people have is shampooing every now and then. A good number of women will tell you that over shampooing the hair makes it dry. But what happens when we don’t wash our hair regularly?
Not washing your hair leads to:
- Dirty Scalp – Grime and dirt accumulates on the scalp when the hair is not washed enough or washed thoroughly. The scalp, like any other part of the body, has pores and needs frequent cleaning.
- Dirty Hair – Dirt accumulates in the hair the same way its accumulated in the scalp. Hair is a non-living fiber, this means hair can’t clean itself so it accumulates even more dirt that the scalp.
- Itchiness – This is a common problem of not washing your hair enough times. Excess debris and dirt often lead to itching, and that leads to scratching which is harsh to the scalp and hair follicles. This in turn causes flaking and eventually dandruff.
- Smelly hair – Yes, anything not washed for too long will pick up foul smells. Sweat and dirt accumulates in the hair and scalp every day and should be washed off.
- Loss of Hair – A well cleaned scalp will be able to produce more hair but dirty scalp makes reproduction and replacement of hair follicles difficult. This often leads to thinning and loss of hair.
When hair is washed too much it can become dry, while not washing it enough can cause it to fall off and reduce the hairline. So how frequently should you wash your hair? If you use BIODERMA’s Nodé shampooing fluid, you can wash your hair every morning and/or evening without worrying of over shampooing.
The use of certain cleansing agents can alter the scalp’s protective film and generate imbalances. Created by NAOS Research, Nodé is the first non-detergent cleansing process for the scalp and hair. Non-stripping, this gentle cleansing base effectively cleanses while preserving the protective hydrolipidic film on the skin’s surface.
We at Unisel Limited are proud to be the authorized distributor for all BIODERMA products in Kenya. Nodé has a whole range of cleansing and care products like anti-dandruff shampoos, shampoos for dry scalps, scalp care for seborrhoeic dermatitis and psoriasis.
Next time you take a shower remember to wash your hair and scalp thoroughly. Water alone can’t purify the scalp and regulates sebum production, Nodé can help soothes and rebalances scalp.
