Such a shampoo acts sparingly, in addition, nourishes and strengthens the hair.

An ordinary smooth hair has a rounded section. It is given by a bulb that has a regular, even shape. In curly curls, the follicle has a curved shape. It is believed that its cells function inconsistently. In this regard, the protein produced by them - keratin, is distributed unevenly in the rod. Protein molecules do not fit tightly together. Because of this, the hair shaft is formed with a flattened cut. Its structure becomes loose, rigid and uneven. The more such hairs, the curly hair.

It is established that curly hair is inherited. And their shape in humans is determined in the embryo stage. But the reason for their formation has not been established.

The main components of shampoos that provide a smoothing effect are the following:

When choosing an unprofessional straightening shampoo, special criteria are not required. As a rule, all such products have a similar effect. Professional lines should be subjected to more careful selection. They have a more diverse composition and narrow focus. Despite the fact that they are all designed to straighten curly curls, nevertheless, their additional properties differ from each other.

One shampoo contains a large number of oils, therefore, for oily hair it should not be used. Another option is to maintain the effect after salon straightening.

• damage level;
• dryness and cross-section of the tips;
• how obedient the curls are;
• desired volume.
