Knowra Hair care Hair care Hair care comprises practices and products used to clean, condition, style, and maintain hair and scalp. It ranges from routine washing to treatments shaped by hair texture, condition, and personal preference.
Hair : Hair is a filament of keratin-producing cells that grows from follicles in the skin. Its fiber structure determines how washing, conditioning, and styling affect the strand.
Shampoo : Shampoo is a cleansing product that uses surfactants to remove oil, dirt, and product residue from hair and scalp. Its surfactants lift sebum and debris during washing.
Hair washing : Hair washing is the cleansing of hair and scalp, usually with water and a cleansing product. It removes accumulated oil, sweat, and residue from daily life.
Co-washing : Co-washing is cleansing hair with conditioner or a conditioner-like product instead of conventional shampoo. It substitutes a milder-feeling cleansing routine for surfactant shampooing.
Hair follicle : A hair follicle is a skin organ that produces and anchors a hair fiber. Follicles shape growth and determine where scalp care acts.
Surfactant : A surfactant is a compound that lowers surface tension and helps water mix with oils or particles. Surfactants make oily soil removable with rinsing.
Hair conditioning : Hair conditioning is the use of products or techniques to improve hair softness, slip, or manageability. It helps reduce friction and breakage during combing.
Dry shampoo : Dry shampoo is a product that absorbs oil from hair without rinsing with water. It can refresh appearance between washes but does not replace full cleansing.
Scalp : The scalp is the skin covering the head, containing hair follicles and oil-producing glands. Its oil and skin condition influence cleansing routines and product choice.
Hair conditioner : Hair conditioner is a product that coats or interacts with hair fibers to improve smoothness, manageability, and feel. Conditioning reduces friction and makes strands easier to detangle.
