Describe how shampoo and water act together to cleanse the hair?

Both of the detergent molecules contain 2 ends, one end attracts water (the hydrophilic molecule) and the other end attracts grease (the hydrophobic molecule). These detergent molecules life the grease off the surface of the hair and suspend it in the water, this action is called the emulsion. Dirt is held by grease so when the grease is lifted the dirt becomes loosened and can be rinsed away with water. This leaves the hair clean and shiny. Therefore it is very important to use a good shampoo that contains a good wetting agent making the hair more manageable and shiny when dry.

Can you use vaseline on dreads?

Yes you can use vaseline on dreads. I would not recommend starting dreads off with vaseline, but if you want to use it to grease your scalp I will use just a little. If you use too much grease like vaseline, depending on the length and thickness of your dreads, when it's time for a shampoo you will have to use steaming hot water or as hot as you can stand it with shampoo to remove all the grease. If you are starting dreads off I recommend using beeswax, or beeswax gel,or find a brand that you are comfortable with.

Yes shampoo is good for your hair. The question may be what is some good brand shampoos to use. Shampoo is good for your hair because it aids in removing residue, dirt and product build up like secretion from sweat from your hair, making it clean and keeping your scalp healthy. If you don't shampoo regularly it could result in hair loss and you may develop abrasions in your scalp from all the dirt and build up.


How do you get rid of hair grease?

Every time you shampoo your hair DO NOT do it twice as this can cause even more grease from build up. Get up a good lather and massage your scalp for a few minutes. If you have thick hair, it is advisable to use a very small amount of conditioner only on the ends. If your hair is thinner you should only use conditioner on the ends about once a week. It is also best if you change the shampoo and conditioner you are using regularly as not changing it may cause build up and excess grease.
