Tar shampoo

Tar shampoo

Each of us wants her hair to be healthy, and the first step to getting it is a healthy scalp. There are various problems that prevent the health of the skin, and the most common are high fat content and, as a result, dandruff.

Hair follicles produce natural fat, which is essential for keeping hair healthy and shiny. But sometimes due to excessive use of cosmetic shampoos or chemical dyes, you can disrupt the fat balance and get such trouble as dandruff.

Another reason for the appearance of dandruff can be bacteria in the hair roots. Seborrhea, psoriasis and a number of other skin diseases can also cause itching, redness, inflammation, accompanied by dandruff.

Doctors often recommend tar shampoos for the treatment of these scalp conditions.

Benefit and harm

Tar is a brown liquid that is obtained from bark with a strong, specific odor. This is usually birch bark, but there is tar from juniper, pine, beech, and even from coal. As part of tar, many phytoncides and organic acids, phenol and toluene are present.

Shampoo with tar helps in cases when sebum production is disturbed and hair becomes too greasy, or in the case of seborrhea (atopic dermatitis) and psoriasis; and scalp irritation. It is also prescribed for the onset of symptoms of alopecia (hair loss).

The effectiveness of shampoos with tar is explained by the fact that it is keratolytic. This is the name of the substance that causes quick exfoliation of dead cells from the skin surface. This cleansing, irritants are destroyed, blood flow to the hair follicles increases, stimulating hair growth.

At the same time, it thins the skin, removing the top layer with bacteria and fungi. Keratolytics have the ability to slow down the growth of bacteria, which also helps alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis and seborrhea.

A side effect of a preparation containing such a substance may be the development of dermatitis of the skin, ulceration of the skin, hypopigmentation or atrophy of the skin, therefore, it should be applied with caution, especially for sensitive skin.
