Will drinking shampoo kill you

When washing your hair, you may accidentally get shampoo in your mouth. You should know that the taste of shampoo is not good. Although it smells very fragrant, some chemical substances are added to it, which will cause many adverse effects on the body after ingesting it. Therefore, shampoo can only be used externally. Although drinking shampoo is not enough to cause organ failure and death, if you drink shampoo in large quantities, it will harm your body. Therefore, everyone needs to pay attention to the correct use of shampoo.

Key Features

The basic function of shampoo is to clean. It is completely incapable of solving pathological dandruff, hair loss and other problems. Many of its "functions" are just gimmicks used by merchants to sell their products. If you want smooth hair, the shampoos you buy nowadays can easily make your hair greasy, dirty and flat. Want to make hair fresh, but it is easy to make hair rough, dry, flyaway, and have poor repair performance. These two things are contradictory to each other and it is difficult to achieve them at the same time.

When consumers choose shampoo, they should first understand the characteristics of their hair, whether it is oily, neutral or dry hair, and then choose the appropriate shampoo; secondly, they should choose a brand that suits them. The shampoo formulas of different brands will be different. Currently, many shampoos do not indicate the specific ingredients, and some of the marked ingredients may not exist.

Some shampoos claim to contain Chinese herbal ingredients such as soap beans, Polygonum multiflorum, angelica, and ginseng. Experts say that medical evidence shows that they have a nourishing effect on the scalp and hair. However, whether they can have a nourishing effect on the scalp and hair through external washing has not yet been confirmed. Many businesses exaggerate the efficacy of such shampoos.

There is also a type of amino acid shampoo, which uses amino acid surfactants as the main surfactant (only two drops of it in the solution is not strictly an amino acid shampoo). Amino acid surfactants have a good synergistic effect with other surfactants.

Using amino acid shampoo can play a certain role in repairing hair. Most amino acid shampoos are weakly acidic, with a pH value between 5.5 and 5.8, while the pH value of a healthy scalp is weakly acidic. Using a weakly acidic shampoo will not destroy the pH balance of a healthy scalp, leaving the scalp healthy.

1. Wet your hair thoroughly before using shampoo: better wash away dirt and avoid damaging the scalp.

2. Rub the shampoo on your palms before applying it to your hair: reduce the burden on your hair and prevent alkaline substances from remaining.

3. The shortest washing time should not be less than 3 to 5 minutes: Especially near the back of the head, oil is prone to accumulate, so it takes more time to clean than other parts.

4. Don’t just wash your hair, pay attention to cleaning your scalp: sebum accumulation on the scalp can easily breed bacteria and produce dandruff, and can also easily cause hair loss.

5. Rinse shampoo thoroughly: Rinse once is definitely not enough, rinse your hair several times before using conditioner.

6. You can also try head massage at home: gently massage your scalp with your fingertips instead of your nails for 3 weeks to help relax your skin.

7. Correctly understand the role of shampoo: remove dirt and sebum from hair and improve the environment for hair growth. It has different effects from conditioner and cannot replace each other.

8. Do not wash your hair twice a day: Over-opening the hair scales will cause hair damage and also wash away necessary oils.

9. Take some time to find a shampoo that suits you: It is a bit hasty to judge after using it only once or twice. The effect of continuous use should be the basis for judgment.

10. Use different shampoos according to the seasons: The hair condition is different in different seasons. It is impossible to achieve the best hair care effect by using the same shampoo all the time.
