Why are 2 in 1 shampoos not popular
Share
The chronic lack of time in a modern person affects everything: the quality of lunches and dinners (purchased food instead of homemade), the amount of time spent on rest and even... the duration of hygiene procedures!
Enterprising merchants, taking advantage of the opportunity, offer consumers all kinds of products that allow them to save a few minutes - kitchen miracle machines, audiobooks that do not need to be read, and cosmetic products that reduce self-care efforts to a minimum. Among this variety, 2 in 1 shampoos are not the last place, as if they combine the properties of shampoo and conditioner.
And already in 1903, a German named Schwarzkopf adopted the Englishman's experience and created his shampoo composition, which included violet flowers. The German turned out to have a stronger grip, and after an hour he opened his own factory for the production of shampoos. Schwarzkopf provided each bag with a logo known to everyone today - a silhouette of a black head (Schwartzkopf means "black head").
The first shampoos were created on the basis of soap and, therefore, had a pH higher than 7, that is, they were alkaline. The first balms-conditioners, like those produced today, had an acidic environment that allowed hair to be smooth.
You don't need to be a professional cosmetologist to guess: mixed in one bottle, these two products will tend to neutralize each other's effects. This is the number one reason why you should not use 2-in-1 shampoos.
Considering these subtleties, professionals refused to use 2 in 1 shampoos, preferring to use each of the two products in accordance with its purpose.
If you are in a hurry, they help save a lot of time and space in your suitcase when traveling. Such an express method is good for special cases when using shampoo and conditioner separately is simply inconvenient.
The main thing, remember: do not abuse "quick" and easy-to-use tools. Sometimes it's worth spending time on your appearance and pampering your hair with a time-consuming but completely natural mask.

Where did shampoos come from?
It should be said that shampoos were invented more than 100 years ago. A Londoner by the name of Casey Herbert in 1890 invented a powder consisting of powder, soap and crushed herbs intended for washing hair and called it shampoo (Shaempoo). The invention received recognition, but it did not bring fame to the Englishman - local hairdressers quickly figured out what was going on and began to produce their own Shaempoo. Herbert, who sold sachets of shampoo on the streets of London, did not manage to make enough money from his invention.And already in 1903, a German named Schwarzkopf adopted the Englishman's experience and created his shampoo composition, which included violet flowers. The German turned out to have a stronger grip, and after an hour he opened his own factory for the production of shampoos.

Shampoos 2 in 1 - double benefit or double self-deception?
Shampoo 2 in 1 is supposed to perform the role of both shampoo and conditioner - that is, to clean and smooth them. The problem is that these two functions contradict each other: the shampoo lifts up the scales of each hair (cuticles) during washing in order to clean them of all sebum and dirt, and the task of the conditioner is precisely to make all the cuticles lie down tightly pressed against each other, formed a beautiful and durable (read - healthy) hair.You don't need to be a professional cosmetologist to guess: mixed in one bottle, these two products will tend to neutralize each other's effects. This is the number one reason why you should not use 2-in-1 shampoos.
How about reason number two?
The second reason to refuse the constant use of 2 in 1 hair washing products is that during washing, we try to lather the entire surface of each hair, including the root zone. The conditioner is mostly not applied to the roots, so that they remain clean longer. Such zoning in use is impossible when you use the conditioner at the same time as the shampoo.Considering these subtleties, professionals refused to use 2 in 1 shampoos, preferring to use each of the two products in accordance with its purpose.
There are also pluses!
Despite a number of "buts", shampoo-conditioners still sometimes significantly facilitate the life of the average consumer.If you are in a hurry, they help save a lot of time and space in your suitcase when traveling. Such an express method is good for special cases when using shampoo and conditioner separately is simply inconvenient.
