It's a project, but after doing it, I got more confused. Help please?Are shower gels, body lotions, and shampoos an acid or base..?
all i kno is that shower gels and shampoo are alkiline and have the pH of around 9.
but conditioner is actually acidic and neutalises the hair after shampooing, i think body lotion is neutralAre shower gels, body lotions, and shampoos an acid or base..?
BASE !!!!! the main characteristic of bases is their soapy consistency they are slippery always remember that it will come handy in the future
i think they r acids but im not sure

Smoothing Gels/Sprays/Shampoos?
Are there any smooting gels or sprays or other such products that can be applied when the hair is not wet or damp? My hair is really long and takes a long time to dry, even with a blow dryer, so I wash it at night. I have an Aussie smoothing gel I use, but by morning, my hair is frizzy again. Or perhaps a really good anti-friz stuff that would last through sleeping?Smoothing Gels/Sprays/Shampoos?
I have been cursed with dry, frizzy, fine hair all my adult life, and when I was younger it was thick and bushy as well.
The only way I found to tame it was to brush in a little jojoba oil, starting at the ends and then brushing down, four inches at a time (but with yours, maybe you could get away with eight!). After a thorough brushing to distribute the oil evenly, the hair became wavy rather than frizzy and far easier to handle. It also felt better after the next wash.
The other thing I discovered, which might be good if you live in a hard water area, is Shikakai powder. This is Indian soapnut, the fruit of the acacia, and it is particularly good for making hair feel silky (and therefore less likely to frizz). You mix it in a pot with some water until it is the consistency and appearance of mud. You then rub well in and leave it a few minutes - the longer the better, but 5-10 minutes is fine. You then rinse it out and dry it as normal.
It's made in Mumbai, India. I get it from: http://www.spicesofindia.co.uk/acatalog/�?/a>
but you can also get it at a price from Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Hesh-Shikakai-Herb�?/a> or from:

supper skinny serum by paul mitchel but they make the same stuff in almost every brand, its just this silky oilish stuff you run through your hair at the ends, its not oil at all but it makes my hair lay down more and less frizzy i use Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine which is an anti-friz serum...its smells ok but the paul mitchel kind smells better and so do others....try it out...but don't put in near your roots or it might end up looking greasy...just the tips....hope this helps!
the product in the video below is from mixed chicks. it really is the only consistent thing i use that works. but sorry, you do have to air dry. believe me, i have tried many systems and this works best. good luck:

Why do they bother listing the ingredients on the back of shampoos, shower gels, perfumes etc?
I can understand listing the ingredients on food products because we all generally know what they are: water, sugar, salt, vegetables, meats etc. We can check ingredients and pick items according to what we want or prefer to avoid. But what is the point of listing ingredients such as C1-2 Succinates/Hydroxyacrylates Copolymer, Sorbitol, Protonal Hydrocytene, Propylene Glycol, PPG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether, Tetrasodium EDTA etc? Is anyone actually checking these ingredients before they buy a product?
The ten points goes to the first person who correctly identifies the bogus ingredient.Why do they bother listing the ingredients on the back of shampoos, shower gels, perfumes etc?
They put the ingredients on it because the law requires it. And yes there are people who check to see what is in the stuff before they buy it.
As to what all those words on the bottle mean, it would take a rocket scientist or a chemist to understand that.
The bogus ingredient is Protonal Hydrocytene. I'm guessing, but it's as good a guess as any.
Addendum: Excellent, I sometimes read the labels just so I can see the strange words. I like reading new words.Why do they bother listing the ingredients on the back of shampoos, shower gels, perfumes etc?
In a lot of products, water is a major ingredient. The other ingredients either add color or fragrance or is a preservative. The names sound complicated but can refer to things like formaldehyde, or alcohol which keep germ or fungal growth at bay. Shampoos that are specifically for dandruff/psoriasis control have a tar base that smells very strong. You would be surprised to know that some of the ingredients that you have listed are also found in some household cleaners. As consumers, companies assume the general public only listens to commercials as to what the skin/hair product will do. They don't count on you resourcing. Yes, it is true that ingredients must be listed on products by law. This way if you have an allergy to any chemical they cover themselves by stating it was on the product.
Well, as others have already told you,
#1) allergies ~ I personally am allergic to cocoa butter which is used in a lot of lotions, soaps, and tanning products. My husband is fructose intolerant and cannot have anything with ANY kind of sugar in it - real or artificial - he can only use Aspartame
#2) it's the law because of reason #1
took a while, but Protonal hydrocytene - no such thing --
I used to check the labels faithfully back when they still added formaldehyde to shampoos. I didn't want to use a well documented carcinogen. But now that they don't use that any more I pretty much don't check shampoo or shower gel labels. But if another suspect ingredient is mentioned in the news or elsewhere at least with the ingredient labels being mandatory I'll have the option of looking out for that particular substance. That's my take on it anyway.
I personally always read shampoo labels. I won't buy anything with sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate in it. I was losing my hair and those ingredients were the cause. They're in many popular shampoos. Many people know if they have problems with certain ingredients, and they DO read the labels.
It is the law that all active and inactive ingredients be placed on products. At one time, people were putting all kinds of dangerous chemicals in dyes and shampoos. My grandad almost went blind trying to dye his hair way back in the olden days. It is for our own protection. We can always look up the words to see how that particular ingredient contributes to the product.
At the hospital,they asked my wife to bring in all the cosmetics/soaps she uses to eliminate or confirm whatever chemical or substance she was intolerant to.
Now she knows what to avoid,she can check all labelling on everything.
Some people are allergic to simple herbs that lots of cosmetics contain
Maybe because some people could be allergic to some of the stuff they use, i cant use any shower gels or soaps with any scent to it they will give me a rash and perfumes give me migraines, but i have to admit i never check the ingrediants. I just know what i can and cant use
How about us that don't think they need to read the directions on the bottle of shampoo and conditioner, Last year I bought these bottle of both and I could feel this weirdest something in my hair, But dumb ole me kept right on using this shampoo and conditioner, It had oil beads in it and you were suppose to activate them by using a hair blow dryer, and I was letting my hair air dry
Believe it or not, there might be someone out there that will drink the stuff. I've heard of people that drank after shave lotion, because they thought there was alcohol in. So I suppose they would like to know that. There are people that ';snuff'; spray paint.
How about a good shot of pure lemon extract?
Legally obliged to provide the ingredients for those people who need to know what they are putting on their heads. I don't know what all the ingredients are, but do know that I am allergic to chamomile which is often in lotions or shampoos.
As you listed a bunch of different ingredients you probably understand that different people have different allergies, listing all that goes into a product will decrease the possibility of some one having issues because of a reaction.
well what if someone is ellergyic (or however u wanna spell it) to an ingredient in the shampoo, whatever... and htey put it on, and they break out... and stuff.
so if we stopped naming the ingredients, all the companies would be sued.
Something to do with FDA regulations. I only read the ingredients in comparison to other brands. Since I am not smart at all I guess I can't compete for your 10 points, isn't that a shame?
One reason is that it's the law. I can't stand anything with fragrance in it, so I read alot of labels. I have several types of allergies.
well, incase you have an allergy to any of the ingredients.
You wouldn't want to come out in red blotches or loose you hair would you?
Bogus ingredient: Sorbitol.
I am amazed that anyone can read the ingredients without a high powered magnifying glass.
Actually the most annoying thing to me is I have to get a magnifying glass to read it!!!
actually it is important some people are allergic to some of these products and could die so check
I have no idea what those ingredients are, but I do know it is the law to post them.
They want to make regular people like us feel stupid.
cuz if they dont then we could sue them and wouldnt that be a shame

100 % tea tree oil about 15 drops applied to the hair and scalp combed through thoroughly with lice comb removing any live crawleys.leave on for 10 to 15 mins and rinse, shampoo hair previously to doing this not afta.once rinsed comb hair again with nit comb and eggs should slid out easy.
Use the shampoo called 'NIX'; (that's the brand) which is available in most large food stores and many pharmacies and without a prescription. And it is not that expensive.
Go to the store and buy a head lice remover. They do sell things like that.
Wash every single clothing item and linen piece that was in contact with the infected head of hair. Buy an over-the-counter shampoo that has tea tree essential oil as its main ingredient, because tea tree is the most efficient anti-parasitic agent provided by mother nature, and because it's far less harmful than some other molecules used in anti-lice treatments. If you want to increase the efficiency of this shampoo, use this as a lotion 20 minutes at least before washing your hair : blend a tablespoon or two of cooking oil (olive oil, canola oil or sunflower oil for instance) with 4 or 5 drops of tea tree oil and apply to your scalp.
After the lotion and the shampoo, use a special comb with very fine teeth to remove the dead lice and eggs. Don't skip this step, because it helps prevent recurrence.
there is shampoo called medikar...apply on ur hair as per the directions mentioned n i hope u will get rid from them...or ask ur mom to clean ur hair from the lice...n oil ur hair and then comb wid special lice combs n i m sure this will help u...

I love Original Source shampoos and shower gels?
My favourite one was Rose and Geranium but I cant seem to get it anywhere. Does anyone know where in the UK I can get this. I can get the Rose and Aloe stuff but the Rose and Geranium was much nicer!I love Original Source shampoos and shower gels?
I know boots sell Original Source but I could not tell you which ones. Have you tried looking to see if they have a website and maybe you could e-mail them and find out that way.
And don't you just hate the Dick Heads on this site that feel the need to answer with sarcastic comments etc?!I love Original Source shampoos and shower gels?
You can get the Original Source Rose and Geranium online from
www.originalsource.co.uk for £2.49
Hope this helps!
good for you
Why don't you find out the company that manufatures it and send them an email or phone them?
It may have been discontinued, they do that sometimes.
Maybe you should ask your local store if they can get some in, if it's available they will at least be able to tell you.
Not sure what types they stock but superdrugs sell a lot of original source products!
I think you can get in Sainsbury's (well, you could last time I looked). I prefer the lavender one - it's gorgeous!

Does anyone know a dependable way to repair and style curly, frizzified hair? shampoos, conditioner, gels ect?
i have this crazy curly hair, that i really love- but it's a bittersweet adoration. i can never get just the right texture and curl- either it's super shiny, defined curls and nastily crunchy, or impossible, frizzy, but soft and natural, i would love a happy medium. thanks so much for your replies!Does anyone know a dependable way to repair and style curly, frizzified hair? shampoos, conditioner, gels ect?
use the john frieda range for your hair - frizz ease to control the frizz, and their smoothing shampoo/conditioner, and mousse.Does anyone know a dependable way to repair and style curly, frizzified hair? shampoos, conditioner, gels ect?
The best way... go to a salon, and get a conditioning shampoo. you can't limit yourself to one product, such as mousse. You must use several... mousse to blow dry and/or scrunch with, a shine spray, then finish up with a finishing spray. i'm a hair stylist. you may want to try some ';biolage- smoothing serum'; works wonders. one of my favourites, the paul mitchell:express style- worked up, and i really like the sebastian or paul mitchell finishing sprays. good luck!
ever heard of a razor?
lot's of celebs and jocks do it
Definitely...There are so many out right now.
It can be really fun. Try adding product to your hair when it's wet, before you comb it out, and after it's dry, before you run your fingers through it, or possibly a comb. Be careful, it creates friction...which creates frizz. Some leave in conditioners help get rid of the crunchy factor, (ie.Sexy hair concepts or Tigi), when used in conjunction with a curling creme or spray.

Redken Ringlet 07 is the best for curly hair..no matter what type of curls you have it makes them ringlets. it doesnt make hair hard, it shines and smells great. would definitely give it a try.
I have pretty much the same hair type,so I see where you are coming from there! A few tips that I have picked up along the way...
- Use a good quality hair conditioner, curly hair tends to be dry by nature so will respond well to a good conditioner. My faves at the moment are Tigi 'Curls Rock' Conditioner and Joico 'Moisturise'.
- Leave the conditioner in your hair for as long as possible in the shower and afterwards rinse it out in cold water.... as cold as you can tolerate it Hot water tends to make your hair frizz otherwise
- After washing it, wrap it in a towel but avoid rubbing it etc as it tends to make it go a little on the frizzy side!
- Use a hair mousse designed for curly hair... I'd definitely use the Frizz Ease stuff- it rocks!
Apart from that I'd just say see a good hairdresser who understands curly hair, as the way it is cut/ layered etc makes a big difference to how manageable it is. I also tend to keep it at a reasonable length as I find if it gets too long that weight of it tends to pull the curl downwards making it seem more frizzy than curly.
Good Luck! :)
Oh and I'm also interested in any other tips that people have!
I have long, thick curly hair; and for what seemed forever I had tried looking for the perfect solution to tame my unruly mane. After trying literally every hair product available, I found that these products were absolutely the best, and will give you the best satisfactory results:
#1: Best shampoo %26amp; conditioner for frizzy hair Kerastase has the best products in our opinion for curly hair.

#3. Best shine serums for curly hair Smooth frizz %26amp; flyaways with a great shine serum. A great less-expensive project (about $6) is Neutrogena Triple Moisture Healing Shine Serum:
A medium-price gloss to try is Bumble %26amp; Bumble 'DeFrizz'
A great-but-pricey gloss is Rene Furterer Spray Gloss:
#4. Best relaxing balms Another great way to tame coarse, flyaway hair is to use a relaxing balm. You'll love these lightweight textures that won't leave hair feeling greasy:
PhytoDefrisant Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm. This relaxing balm is considered a must-have in every stylist's kit, according to InStyle magazine's 'Best Beauty Buys' 2006 issue.
We also like KMS Flat-Out Relaxing Balm
#5. Best styling gel for curly hair The pros say Senscience Smooth Gelee ($13, call 800-626-3684) is perfect for taming coarse, curly hair. It's also great when blow-drying or ironing hair straight. You'll find it won't make hair stiff, a bad effect of using many gels.
No perm or professional relaxer will do the miracle work of these products! Try each one and see which one you like the best.acne
use the john frieda range for your hair - frizz ease to control the frizz, and their smoothing shampoo/conditioner, and mousse.Does anyone know a dependable way to repair and style curly, frizzified hair? shampoos, conditioner, gels ect?
The best way... go to a salon, and get a conditioning shampoo. you can't limit yourself to one product, such as mousse. You must use several... mousse to blow dry and/or scrunch with, a shine spray, then finish up with a finishing spray. i'm a hair stylist. you may want to try some ';biolage- smoothing serum'; works wonders. one of my favourites, the paul mitchell:express style- worked up, and i really like the sebastian or paul mitchell finishing sprays. good luck!
ever heard of a razor?
lot's of celebs and jocks do it
Definitely...There are so many out right now.
It can be really fun. Try adding product to your hair when it's wet, before you comb it out, and after it's dry, before you run your fingers through it, or possibly a comb. Be careful, it creates friction...which creates frizz. Some leave in conditioners help get rid of the crunchy factor, (ie.Sexy hair concepts or Tigi), when used in conjunction with a curling creme or spray.

Redken Ringlet 07 is the best for curly hair..no matter what type of curls you have it makes them ringlets. it doesnt make hair hard, it shines and smells great. would definitely give it a try.
I have pretty much the same hair type,so I see where you are coming from there! A few tips that I have picked up along the way...
- Use a good quality hair conditioner, curly hair tends to be dry by nature so will respond well to a good conditioner. My faves at the moment are Tigi 'Curls Rock' Conditioner and Joico 'Moisturise'.
- Leave the conditioner in your hair for as long as possible in the shower and afterwards rinse it out in cold water.... as cold as you can tolerate it Hot water tends to make your hair frizz otherwise
- After washing it, wrap it in a towel but avoid rubbing it etc as it tends to make it go a little on the frizzy side!
- Use a hair mousse designed for curly hair... I'd definitely use the Frizz Ease stuff- it rocks!
Apart from that I'd just say see a good hairdresser who understands curly hair, as the way it is cut/ layered etc makes a big difference to how manageable it is. I also tend to keep it at a reasonable length as I find if it gets too long that weight of it tends to pull the curl downwards making it seem more frizzy than curly.
Good Luck! :)
Oh and I'm also interested in any other tips that people have!
I have long, thick curly hair; and for what seemed forever I had tried looking for the perfect solution to tame my unruly mane. After trying literally every hair product available, I found that these products were absolutely the best, and will give you the best satisfactory results:
#1: Best shampoo %26amp; conditioner for frizzy hair Kerastase has the best products in our opinion for curly hair. Their Nutritive Bain Elasto-Curl Shampoo is praised by beauty experts for its intense moisturizing properties. It will soften coarse, curly hair while enhancing your natural curl without letting it get frizzy on you.
For conditioners, go the Kerastase route again, with its Nutritive Masquintense conditioner:

Hair straightening shampoos, creams, sprays, gels, etc?
What is the best hair straightening serum that works well? I have wavy VERY frizzy hair that I straighten most days. Sometimes I use Sunsilk straight iron effect, but that doesn't work as well as my straightening irons. It doesn't last as long either. Are there any shampoos, conditioners, gels, etc to straighten and stop frizz?
Any tips would be appreciated as well.
