“…They are detergent molecules which are classified according to the electric charge as either anionic, cationic, amphoteric (zwitterionic), or nonionic (Table 1) [1-3, 10, 11]. The most widely used include lauryl sulfate, ammonium lauryl ether sulfate, and ammonium lauryl sulfate which belongs to the anionic group (group 1) [3, 12].…”

“…The main surfactants used belong to the amphoteric group (group 4) and have a mild cleansing property. Cocamidopropyl betaine and cocobetaine are the most commonly used [1-3]. Cationic surfactants belong to group 2 and act as positively charged molecules with minimal cleansing potency and may cause buildup on hair [3].…”

“…There is a great concern about whether frequent shampooing could harm the hair shaft and increase frizz [4-7]. Although there are no data to support that shampoos can harm the hair, some surfactants such as sulfates have been associated with an increase in frizz, hair fragility, and scalp dryness [1-3, 8]. Additionally, alternative methods of cleansing the hair and scalp with milder detergent called the “low-poo” and “co-washing” method have begun to gain popularity among the sensitive hair population [7-9].…”

The main function of a shampoo is to clean the hair and the scalp. However, overcleansed frizzy hair is not cosmetically acceptable. Alternative methods of cleansing the hair have become popular among the sensitive hair population. “Co-washing” or “conditioner washing” is a method of cleansing the hair with a conditioner without silicones, petrolatum, or mineral oils. Co-washing is gentle to the hair but may lead to buildup due to residues under the cuticle scales. We discuss the pros and contras of the co-washing method in a medical perspective.

“…Current shampoo formulations are adapted to the variations associated with hair quality, hair care habit, and specific problems related to the superficial condition of the scalp [8]. Accordingly, a shampoo may be composed of up to 30 different ingredients that are grouped into [9]: (1) cleansing agents; (2) additives that contribute to the stability and comfort of the product; (3) conditioning agents, intended to impart softness and gloss, to reduce flyaway and to enhance disentangling facility, and (4) special care ingredients, designated to treat specific problems relating to the superficial condition of the scalp, such as dandruff and greasy hair.…”

As early as can be traced, written documents testify endeavors shown by humanity to please by means of the hair. Hair care, color and style play an important role in people’s physical appearance and self-perception. Dermatologists should be knowledgeable about the procedures people follow to look their best and should have the competence to provide patients with information on the benefits and hazards of hair cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Shampooing is the most common form of cosmetic hair treatment. The diversity of qualities expected from a shampoo by today’s consumer surpass the primary function of cleansing. Current shampoo formulations are adapted to the variations associated with hair quality, hair care habit and specific problems related to the superficial condition of the scalp. Hand in hand, test methods are developed to evaluate the efficacy of hair care products so that consumers are offered products that perform as claimed. Through the development of cosmetics with pharmaceutically active compounds, products are evolving that are becoming more similar to topical therapeutic agents (cosmeceuticals). The efficacy of cosmeceuticals that claim to act as hair growth stimulants should be measured by the standards set by the drugs minoxidil and, more recently, oral finasteride. Finally, health hazards associated with the use of hair care products, especially rinse-off products, have been overemphasized by the media and need careful correction by opinion leaders.

Recently rational drug therapy and potent technologies have been introduced for the treatment of the most frequent hair problems, i.e. finasteride in the treatment of male pattern hair loss, and laser-assisted hair removal systems for hypertrichosis and hirsutism. Together with the availability of such treatments, high technical standards for evaluating their efficacy have been developed, e.g. computer-assisted epiluminiscence microscopy. Besides these physical aspects, life quality has also become an important issue in clinical studies, and is assessed by standardized patient questionnaires. In the treatment of hair loss, women have become reluctant about taking systemic hormones since the results of large epidemiological studies on the risks of hormonal replacement therapy have become public. Topical 17alpha-estradiol offers an alternative, though its efficacy has not been proven. The results of double-blinded, placebo-controlled studies demonstrating efficacy are yet only available for topical minoxidil. In the treatment of alopecia areata, there is no treatment that guarantees regrowth and stable growth of recovered hair. Only topical immunotherapy produces a higher remission rate that the natural evolution of disease. Scarring alopecias are not frequent but they need a careful evaluation, including scalp biopsy, for a precise diagnosis, because of irreversibility and potentially grave cosmetic consequences. The introduction of the modern broad spectrum antimycotic agents has greatly improved the management of infectious scarring alopecias. Finally, developments in hair care and anti-aging medicine are discussed, with special referral to the evolving difficulty of delineating medical science from marketing strategies in this trendy field.
