If I am not mistaken, then Pantene in the 1980th years was a creator of this idea shapunya 2 in 1. Authors of the brand noticed that it is quite difficult to accustom us to buy the conditioner together with shampoo. Therefore thought up such formula where these two means would be together. Later, when women were convinced that the conditioning shampoo works, they gradually began to buy separate bottles.
Now shampoos 2 in 1 make for men more. The stronger sex not really likes to be late in the bathroom therefore it does everything quickly and in the old manner: soaped, washed away and went. To women, that is us, marketing specialists it was succeeded to impart new habits. And together with them and new expenditure. Instead of one means we always for washing of the head buy two.
However, I do not think what put only in desire to sell to us more. Some experts consider that to combine balm and shampoo – not the really correct idea. Because tasks at these two products different. If shampoo has to clean hair, then balm – on the contrary, to create a protective film which interferes with penetration into structure of a hair of any components.
Besides, the majority of conditioners have a positive charge (cationic). And surfactants (which contain in shampoos) are negatively charged (anion). As a result two means enter the conflict.
What to do? To buy shampoos 2 in 1 or not? I found the answer such. Already now I will not remember a name of the stylist, but it was printed in some luster.
Shampoo problem 2 in 1 that it strongly makes heavier hair. This effect is not noticeable at once, but over time hair can become very dim and fat. It is caused by problems of creation of a formula in which surfactant and the conditioning means would get on. The conflict manages to be avoided if as a part of shampoo there is more conditioner, than shampoo. And it leads to the fact that hair accumulate both the conditioning substances, and sulfates, and other salts …
Well, I finish. Such verdict. It is necessary to use shampoos 2 in 1 with care. It is convenient to take them with itself in trips, but after some period hair surely will need the cleaning shampoo. And one more rule: for an oily hair shampoos 2 in 1 cannot be used.
Actually, I also am not going to apply new shampoo without interruption. But decided to try. And here what product turned out at the manufacturing company.
Bottle
It big and beautiful. 400 ml. Optimistic orange shade.
But a product not from oranges, and even not with aroma of orange, and from tasty fruit: banana and strawberry. A combination of such tastes, it is necessary to tell, a little unexpected. First did not represent how these two aromas are combined.
Smell
And, however, two smells (strawberry and banana) really argue with each other. Also wins … against banana! That is, shampoo really smells of banana, and I do not feel a strawberry note at all. The aroma of shampoo very much was pleasant to me, reminded of summer and a holiday, and I found nothing synthetic in it, it is similar to a banana dessert or banana ice cream. Pleasant!
Structure
Contrary to the theory stated above that as a part of shampoo 2 in 1 there can be many conditioning ingredients (I was already prepared to see silicones and glycols), the structure pleasantly surprised me.
The list is absolutely short. Dimetikon is absent. Extracts of strawberry and banana are present. There is also hydrolyzed keratin, glycerin – here they conditioning ingredients.
This structure did not cause any rejection in me. It seems to me, in vain abuse shampoos 2 in 1. Perhaps it is someone's marketing mix too to sell more bottles?
Result of action
Inside pleasant and dense shampoo, absolutely transparent. With very pleasant aroma.
It perfectly washes out hair. And the conditioner is really not necessary. That is, hair well comb hair, do not sputyvatsya after washing. But I can agree with experts in what it and the truth, makes heavier a little. That is, externally it is imperceptible. But fat hair become quicker, than just with couple of means.
Hair became such, as after the conditioner. If not making heavier effect – I would think of finding for myself shampoo 2 in 1. But so far I was convinced that means, though very practical and convenient, but not absolutely what I wait from the looking after product for hair for.
