10 Reasons why shampoo is important 

One of those things most of us take for granted is shampoo. We got into the shower, lathered and rinsed off. However, if you've ever had issues with your hair or scalp, you know the type of shampoo you use matters. 

Here are ten reasons why shampoo is important, including ones that go beyond the look of your hair:

1. Shampoo keeps scalp clean
   Sebum a fatty substance, keeps the skin and scalp hydrated. If you don't shampoo, sebum can build up quickly and make your hair more oily than you would like. Sebum also attracts microfauna, which can cause dandruff and other hair problems. To cleanse sebum from the scalp, as well as any residue from other hair care products, it is important to wash with shampoo.
   
   
2. Shampoo can make your hair more oily.
   There is a sweet spot when it comes to shampoo. If you shampoo too often, your hair will look oily. Because if you wash too often, you wash off the oil without giving it time to replenish. Your scalp works overtime to replace the oil. If you wash daily and still have oily hair, try washing it every other day to see what happens.
   
   
3. Shampoo can dry out the scalp
   Washing your hair too often can also dry out the scalp. Shampoos containing harsh ingredients can remove sebum from the scalp and cause flaking. Washing in very hot water can also cause peeling of the skin, split ends and dry hair. Symptoms like redness, swelling and itching indicate a dry scalp problem.
   
   
4. Shampoo can help fight hair loss 
   
   There are many reasons for hair loss. Dandruff and psoriasis Psoriasis can make hair thinner. An increase in the hormone DHT can shrink hair follicles. There are shampoos formulated to deal with these problems. For dandruff, shampoos with antifungal ingredients may work. Hair loss associated with psoriasis can be treated with a shampoo containing a topical steroid. There are also shampoos that block DHT. Typically, topical hair loss treatments, such as shampoo, are less risky than medications.
   
   
5. Washing your hair reduces cortisol
   Cortisol is a known hormone, commonly referred to as a “stress hormone”. When their levels stay too high for too long, they can cause serious health problems. Research shows that washing your hair can drastically reduce cortisol in hair follicles. This is good news if stress makes your hair thinner. Interestingly, it seems that washing with water alone has almost the same effect as shampooing.
   
   
6. To shampoo or not to wash is a controversial topic.
   There is a movement that rebels against shampoo, claiming that it is not only unnecessary, but even medically unnecessary. Many have given up on shampoo, switching to only conditioner or water. However, the debate is far from over. Many health professionals argue that shampoo is necessary for good health. It is said that without shampoo, sebum builds up, attracting bacteria and damaging the scalp. While it's true that most people probably don't need to wash their hair as often as necessary, there's no evidence to suggest that not washing is the best option.
