A typical cleansing routine consists of shampooing the hair, followed by the application of a conditioner. Other important elements include the use of protein-containing conditioners and oils which can further enhance the benefits of routine cleansing. This chapter will provide an in-depth discussion of the role each of these product types plays in maintaining and promoting healthy hair. Shampoos Shampooing the hair has many purposes but none greater than cleansing the scalp of buildup such as dirt and oil.

Shampoos work to weaken the forces that bind dirt and residue to the hair as well as remove buildup of hair products and sebum [1]. Sebum, the product of the scalp’s sebaceous glands, is a natural moisturizing oil that traverses down the hair shaft [2]. This serves to protect the shaft from damage and provide a natural shine [3]. However, accumulation of excess sebum can give the hair an oily appearance, which may be undesirable, particularly in individuals with straight hair who experience rapid movement of sebum from the root to tips [3]. Sebum is also a potent attractant of dirt, dust, and other pollutants from the environment [2]. C.
