hair care

Dandruff is a common condition causing the skin on the scalp to flake. Although it isn’t contagious, dandruff can be embarrassing and difficult to treat. Signs of dandruff include itchy scalp and skin flakes that can appear on the scalp, along the hair shaft, and on the shoulders. Dandruff tends to flare up in cold, dry seasons. Seborrheic dermatitis is a severe form of dandruff, where more fungus is present on the scalp where flaking and redness are found.

Different types of hair require different types of products. Consumers have varying needs depending on their own unique hair types. This could include fine or thick hair, oily or dry hair, and color-treated or bleached hair. If consumers use the wrong products or wash their hair too frequently, their natural hair oils will be stripped, leading to dry and damaged hair in the long run, taking them further away from a perfect hair day.

Hair styling products are used to change the texture and/or the shape of the hair. Examples of common hair styling products include mousse, gel, wax, pomade, heat protectants, dry shampoo, shine serum, and hair spray. Hair styling applications can use a variety of ingredients such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and lanolin alternatives. PVP is commonly used as a film former and thickener which makes it ideal for gels and hair sprays.
