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.
