6.We're a nation-a globe,in fact-obsessed with out hair.Analysts estimate the global hair products industry to be worth£22.6billion-and growing at a rate of up to seven per cent a year.There seems to be no limit on what we'll spend to avoid a bad hair day.But for devotees of an underground beauty movement,the secret lies in throwing away the shampoo,in fact all the hair products,for good.
The"no-poo"method,which involves using natural substitutes or just water in place of shampoo and conditioner,is supported by several circles.
Beauty insiders,including writers for women's magazines and professional hairdressers,speak highly of how hair becomes thicker,fuller,softer and brighter.
And environmentalists who are mindful with money feel great joy at the lack of chemicals in and on their bodies-not to mention the impact on their budgets.
Now one devotee is hoping to take it mainstream.Lucy Aitken Read,whose book Happy Hair:The definitive guide to giving up shampoo was released last week,hasn't used shampoo for two years and her glowing brown hair is visibly in perfect condition.
For her,the motivation came after reading a study that claimed women put 515chemicals on their bodies daily."I initially thought‘Ha!They didn't research me!'"Aitken Read says."Then I looked at the back of my shampoo bottle and realized there were loads of chemical components I didn't recognize in the slightest."
Strangely it's oily hair that could benefit the most from giving up shampoo.The theory behind the‘no-poo'method is that shampoo removes the hair of its natural oils,which causes the scalp(头皮)to generate more oils to replace them.This results in oil overload-oily hair-which we then attempt to‘fix'with more shampoo/It's a vicious(恶性的)circle and quite a brilliant success for the shampoo industry,because the more shampoo you use,the more you need to use and the more frequently you need to use it.
Left to its own devices or washed with natural substitutes,the scalp eventually theoretically returns to its natural balance.The result should be healthier hair that is stronger,thicker and fuller as it is less damaged than shampooed hair.
