title: Cleansing of hair and scalp in health and disease.
abstract: Shampoos contain tensioactives, densifying agents, preservatives, chelating agents, colour, perfume, water and additives. Synthetic anionic tensioactives were the most used. Cationic and amphoteric are also useful. Shampoos could incorporate additives to correct certain functional defects. A good prescription and choice is convenient to have the desired benefit and avoid hair alteration.
