Its isoelectric point is around a 3.67 pH. The isoionic point is around 5.6.[16] The hair reaches neutrality of charges when the pH is around the isoeletric point. In lightened hair, the isoelectric point is reached at an even more acid pH. It occurs because the A-layer and the epicuticle are rich in cysteine and therefore there is the formation of cysteic acid. Free lipid which contains fatty acids is an important and essencial component of the surface of animal hairs. The freer lipid that is present in this surface layers the lower the isoeletric point of the keratin fibers. Free lipid is important to the adsorption of surfactants and other ingredients onto human hair. The longer the interval between shampoos, the more free lipid and the lower isoeletric point of the hair.[16]
A 2-in-1 shampoo is a product designed to give the cleaning benefits of shampoo while also providing some of the conditioning benefits of a conditioner. "Shampoos often contain anionic (negatively-charged) surfactants to cleanse, while conditioners contain cationic (positively-charged) ingredients like polyquats that will bind to hair to impart their conditioning properties," explains cosmetic chemist Kelly Dobos. "Trying to combine these two incompatible types of ingredients in one formula can result in a gunky, unpleasant product. However, cosmetic chemists have developed unique ways to deliver conditioning ingredients from shampoos by optimizing ratios of these ingredients, or 'hiding' the conditioning agents and polymers in an emulsion that releases those ingredients when rinsing." Conditioning shampoos are the subject of a lot of research in the industry with many, many patents issued, according to Dobos.

Product buildup can be an issue when it comes to many 2-in-1 shampoos and conditioners. "Product buildup over time will start to make the hair look dull and weigh it down," says hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons. "To counteract the buildup, you will need to use a clarifying shampoo to help strip the hair bare and start the process all over again."
Another issue that folks may face with 2-in-1 shampoos and conditioners includes how drying they can be to the hair and scalp, thanks to the surfactants used in the products. "Traditionally, shampoo over-cleanses sebum from the hair, drying it out, and then conditioner is needed to re-moisturize and smooth the cuticles with oils and waxes," explains Daniel Belkin, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. "While drugstore 2-in-1 products may contain emollients, and market as such, these emollients don't have a good chance to moisturize the hair when paired with strong surfactants, the purpose of which is to remove oils from the hair. Therefore, a 2-in-1 that promises both a deep clean and to make hair feel moisturized, shiny, and smooth is overpromising." Even if the hair only has to be rinsed once, Belkin says he would still expect it to come out relatively dry and frizzy.
Normal hair shampoo is for people who have hair which are chemically untouched and scalp which produces moderate sebum. Favorite with men. Normal hair shampoos use lauryl sulfate as the primary detergent providing good cleansing and minimal conditioning.
With a few exceptions, you do get better performance from hair products if you pay more, says Ralf Zissel, a chemist who has developed shampoos for a range of companies. But you won't damage your hair using a less expensive shampoo, says Hanjani. Most shampoos have similar, mild ingredients.
Conditioners contain cationic compounds such as polypeptides or functionalized silicones. The negatively charged hair fiber absorbs cationic compounds very strongly, reversing the charge of the surface. Using a conditioner causes the surface charge to become positive in just 20 seconds. As a consequence, conditioners can usually be absorbed by the hair much faster than shampoo. After another 60 seconds, the surface charge is stable again. Once the conditioner is washed out, the charge returns to negative just as quickly as it previously became positive, but does not reach the original negative value of the native hair. This indicates only partial desorption of the conditioner.
The most popular types of products are rinse-offs, including shampoos and conditioners. Of these, hair conditioners are much more effective in delivering conditioning ingredients. There are three main mechanisms by which conditioning agents stay on hair.
While conditioners are designed to effectively deliver hair conditioning ingredients to hair, shampoos are mainly used to remove things from hair. This causes a problem for conditioning shampoos because they need to do the conflicting task of removing something while depositing something else.
There are between 100,000 and 150,000 hairs on a typical head which can be of various lengths, shapes and styles. This large mass of fibres serves to catch soil from the atmosphere and the workplace. Added to this is sebum, the natural oil that is released onto the hair at its base from the sebaceous gland of each follicle. As people wash their hair frequently sebum rarely coats the whole length of the hair fibres. In addition, hair sprays, mousses, gels etc. need to be removed from the hair to leave it clean and ready for re-styling. The main aim of the shampoo is to remove dirt and soil and then condition your hair. This is usually achieved by building the shampoo from two distinct types of ingredients. The first are surfactants that are designed to clean the hair. Here it is important to achieve a balance between mildness and cleaning. The second group is conditioning agents that leave the hair easy to manage and prevent "fly-away" or static. These have to be deposited onto the hair during the shampooing process ie. while cleaning the hair. Also, they must be deposited at a level that leaves the hair manageable and feeling clean.
Conditioning ingredients: These normally include silicones and fatty alcohols. Silicones are well known for their lubricious properties and make the hair easier to detangle. They come in a wide range of viscosities from thinner than water through to thick fluids, depending on the hair type and whether it has been treated with perms or colours. Fatty alcohols give condition and help to control static or "fly-away". Conditioning ingredients in shampoos are often uncharged, unlike hair conditioning products. This is because the positive charge on many molecules used in conditioners would interact with the negative charge on the surfactants. You would end up with a product that could neither clean nor condition.
The biggest innovation of the last 20 years is the invention of true 2 in 1 shampoos that give the full cleaning and conditioning of a separate shampoo and conditioner product. These have been so successful in addressing the needs of the consumer that virtually every modern shampoo now contains a large element of conditioning. The original 2 in 1's were formulated using high viscosity silicones as the conditioning ingredients. These have now been surpassed with improved silicones and the addition of fatty alcohols.
The shampoos are formulated for a wide range of hair types which each have their own needs. For example, normal hair requires cleaning and control. In contrast, coloured hair has higher conditioning needs. During colouring a very special fatty acid is removed from the hair surface. The hair is made more hydrophilic and contains more negative charges causing more static. Therefore, coloured or chemically treated hair will need specially formulated shampoos that contain conditioning ingredients chosen to deposit on this more hydrophilic hair.
Let us be perfectly clear. The function of a shampoo and the function of a conditioner have TOTALLY OPPOSITE FUNCTIONS. The purpose of a shampoo is to clean. It does so by using surfactants. The purpose of a surfactant is to use soap to remove surface debris from the scalp and hair. Furthermore, nearly all shampoos use sulfates to create a lather which removes oils from the hair and scalp as well.
The purpose of a conditioner is to put those "good" things BACK into your hair and scalp. A great conditioner is full of natural fats, oils, humectants and more that will not only replace the "good" things that the shampoo has by necessity removed, but will change your hair from a dry and damaged negative charge to where the ingredients have a positive charge which attempt to cling to your hair and reduce static charge in your hair.
Depending on the type of hair you have, you can find the solution that works best for you. I have found that using a "less effective" shampoo on a semi-daily basis works for me. Then, once every two weeks or once a month I will use a more "aggressive" shampoo to give myself a deep clean on my hair . . . but then I ALWAYS follow that up with a great conditioner to replace the "good" stuff that I took out of my hair while using a more aggressive shampoo.
While our Saltair Moisture Bound Shampoo can soften and smooth thick hair, those with fine hair can also benefit from it. For those concerned about their fine hair being weighed down, use a moisture shampoo and a lightweight conditioner of your choosing rather than using both a moisture shampoo and moisture conditioner as a system. Conditioners are always formulated to be heavier and more conditioning, hence the name, than shampoos. If you have fine hair, start by incorporating a moisture shampoo into your daily routine and use a moisture conditioner as a treatment product as needed.
Surfactants are an essential part of most hair care products. They are widely used in washing, conditioning and styling formulations to perform the following functions:In shampoos as cleansing and foaming agents
In hair-care products as conditioning agents
In hair styling products as wetting agents
As the role of surfactant varies from one hair-care product to another, the type of surfactant suitable for the application also varies. A surfactant molecule consists of a hydrophobic part and a hydrophilic part. The hydrophobic part usually consists of a hydrocarbon chain of variable length between 8 to 18 carbon units long. The hydrocarbon chain length strikes the balance between mildness and detergency of the surfactant. Surfactants with shorter chain lengths have stronger grease removing properties; a longer chain length leads to increased mildness and lower lathering properties. The hydrophilic part of the molecule consists of various functional groups which determine the nature of the surfactant and its key properties. 2ff7e9595c
