Shampoo for men and shampoo for women: and in what a difference?
Many consider that a difference only in the marketing strategy of sales. Division of shampoos into men's and women's increases interest in both types of products that considerably increases sales. Advertizing and marketing, really, play a huge role in marking of any means of cosmetics. But there are also differences in a formula.
1) The most important difference is an aroma. Men's smells have brighter and saturated compositions. At the same time, as a rule, exclude from men's products coco notes, flower notes and some fruit (for example, it is considered that men do not love passion fruit). The men's product possesses the refreshing and invigorating smell, for them use water, citrus, wood notes.
2) The second difference of shampoo for men from women's – products for the stronger sex are more concentrated on clarification of head skin as male skin produces more oils and is more concentrated on it pollution and dead cages. That is, in structure there can be more surfactant which dry and irritate. Therefore shampoo for men is not advised to apply to all family, especially, if at someone from her members dry or sensitive skin.
3) It is also necessary to note that shampoos for men are calculated on frequent application. That is, at the good cleaning properties, in shampoo for certain there have to be also moistening components that skin and hair did not dry from frequent washing.
4) One more difference: shampoos for men are calculated on hair no more than 7-8 cm long. Strongly making heavier moistening components what are in shampoos for women for long hair are not required for such hair. For this reason, shampoos for men can be produced in formulas "2 in 1" and "3 in 1". It is good for active men who often wash the head, and often cannot spend a lot of time for this process. "3 in 1" means - the good decision for those who go to the gym to have with himself only 1 bottle of shampoo which is used both as shower gel, and as shampoo, and as the conditioner.
Generally, as you can see, differences of men's means from women's are available. For this reason I am not a supporter of to use for myself men's cosmetics. But I decided to write about this male Shauma because this means was pleasant to my friend. And me, by the way, too. It was shown by the simple analysis of contents.
What is stated on packing
In structure there has to be intensively strengthening protein. Protein, as we know, the main construction material for hair. Therefore it is good if the protein in shampoo is available. It seems that it is the hydrolyzed keratin in the list of ingredients.
In structure there is also a glycine, pantenol are good vitamins for hair.
Further it is specified that shampoo promises "force and leaving to the tips". In a case with shampoo for men this phrase sounds a little strange. Because it is quite easy "to process" short hair to the tips, and all active agents with ease get in a short hair.
Force and volume are provided at the expense of hop and lack of silicone. Above I already wrote that men's formulas really do not need a lot of the leveling and making heavier ingredients. Even without silicone and other film substances short hair can be leveled and subdued easily. Therefore the lack of silicone – it is rather, not achievement of the brand, and the usual requirement to a men's formula.
And here, hop – really useful ingredient for hair strengthening roots. Here it in the form of extract. And except it, there is also an oil of seeds jojoba (Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil).
The further analysis of structure shows that means is almost faultless. There is only one type of sulfate, the others surfactant – organic origin. There are no parabens, dyes. Only Propylene glycol was not pleasant. Well that it at the end of the list.
My impressions and impressions of my friend
I personally not really like these flat packings at Shauma. They constantly fall, especially, when means remains very little. In general, it is a standard bottle in a form and volume (380 ml), not different from female products of the brand.
But when means comes to an end, it is quite difficult to use it up to the end. Not so soft plastic bottle that from it to squeeze out shampoo, back does not take the form. Becomes very flat and inconvenient.
The consistence is not liquid, it is used economically. The texture is pleasant, nacreous.
Aroma, of course, thermonuclear. Needles, typically men's with strong notes, and citrus. For me we do not accept such smell at all. I do not understand how some write that they with pleasure use the husband's shampoo. Same a smell which hammers everything around! Too powerful for me.
But very much it is pleasant to my friend. And I do not feel that his hair began to smell somehow very powerfully. Probably, at men really there are a lot of oils, sweat and fat that neutralization of all this requires here such strong influence.
If not a really saturated men's fragrance, then perhaps I would try this shampoo because the analysis of structure showed that means strengthens and looks after. To it there are no claims.
The friend uses every day, hair did not become fatter or drier. And if it is pleasant to him – that is already good sign because, for example, he flatly refuses Clean Line or Elsève shampoos – says, do not clean hair. Generally, I trust it and the feelings. And I advise your strong halves.
