Shampoo is a hair care product, typically in the form of a viscous liquid, that is used
for cleaning hair . Less commonly, shampoo is available in solid bar format. Shampoo is used
by applying it to wet hair, massaging the product into the scalp, and then rinsing it out. Some
users may follow a shampooing with the use of hair conditioner .Shampoo is typically used to
remove the unwanted build-up of sebum in the hair without stripping out so much as to make
hair unmanageable. Shampoo is generally made by combining a surfactant , most often
sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laurate sulfate , with a co-surfactant, most
often cocamidopropyl betaine in water. The sulfate ingredient acts as a surfactant , trapping
oils and other contaminants, similarly to soap . There are many beneficial features of
shampoo. Another way the importance of shampoo is demonstrated is in the treatment of
various scalp and hair conditions that cannot be treated with the use of ordinary soap or
water. For instance, dandruff is caused by dry hair and one of the obvious signs of dandruff
is itching of the scalp with dry (whitish and brownish) flakes.
Shampoo can be used in treating hair affected by dandruff as well as other conditions
like seborrhoeic dermatitis (inflammation) etc. Nowadays, there are specific shampoo
formulations that have been created specifically for the treatment of dandruff including those
that are made with only organic ingredients. In relation to this, the researcher discover a new
and organic shampoo as a substitute for commercial hair shampoo, that provide same quality
and comfort to hair. Guava fruit is a rich source of vitamin A which supports hair growth.
The fruit also promotes scalp health, clears dandruff and protects against hair loss. This
makes it one of the important fruits for hair growth.
