Shampoo for hair prostheses: which one to choose?

Hair prostheses are an effective solution for those who want thick, well-groomed hair, but their maintenance requires specific, high-quality products. Choosing the right shampoo is essential to keep the prostheses in top condition and ensure a natural and long-lasting appearance. Newfreestyle Hair Systembased in Milan at Via Cino da Pistoia 18, offers a wide range of products for the care of hair prostheses, including shampoos, removers and glues. In this article, we will explore how to choose the ideal shampoo for hair prostheses, offering practical tips and answering common questions.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Shampoo for Prosthetic Hair

Le hair prosthesis are an increasingly popular and appreciated solution for those wishing to regain a natural and confident appearance. Although they are designed to imitate real hair in every way, they require specific care and dedicated products. Unlike natural hair, prosthesis fibres do not receive nourishment from the scalp and are therefore more vulnerable to the effects of aggressive chemicals or improper maintenance. Using an inappropriate shampoo can compromise not only the aesthetic beauty of the prosthesis, but also its overall durability. For this reason, choosing a shampoo specially formulated for prostheses is not a mere detail, but a real necessity.

Why Do Hair Restorations Require Specific Products?

Hair prostheses, whether made of natural hair or synthetic fibres, are much more sensitive to cosmetic treatments than natural hair. A normal shampoo, designed for organic hair, may contain overly aggressive surfactants or substances that risk drying out, weakening and dulling the fibres of the prosthesis. Over time, this can lead to loss of shine, the formation of difficult-to-manage knots and a reduction in the overall lifespan of the prosthesis. The use of specific shampoos, on the other hand, keeps the fibres soft, shiny and strong, while providing comfort to the scalp.

Characteristics of an Ideal Shampoo for Prosthetic Hair

Gentle and Natural Ingredients

The first selection criterion concerns the composition. It is essential to go for shampoos that use delicate ingredientspreferably of natural origin, and avoid aggressive chemicals such as sulphates, parabens, silicones or alcohol. These components can dry out and damage the fibres of the prosthesis, compromising its appearance and durability.

Moisturising formulation

Implants, unlike natural hair, do not receive moisture from the sebum produced by the scalp. As a result, they tend to dry out more easily. A shampoo with moisturising and nourishing formula helps keep fibres flexible, soft and strong, preventing unwanted breaks and knots.

Balanced pH

Another fundamental aspect is the pH of the shampoo. A product with a balanced pH, close to the skin's natural pH (around 5.5), is ideal because it respects the scalp and avoids irritation. At the same time, it helps to keep the structure of the hair fibres intact.

Residue Removal Capacity

Denture users often use glues, adhesives or other fixatives. Over time, these can accumulate and compromise the aesthetic performance. A specific shampoo must have the ability to effectively remove residues without affecting or weakening the fibres of the prosthesis, thus ensuring lasting cleanliness and freshness.

Tips for Using Shampoo on Prosthetic Hair

Regular but not excessive washing

It is important to wash hair prostheses regularly to keep them clean, but avoid too frequent washings that may cause premature wear of the fibres. A weekly wash is generally sufficient.

Using Tiepid Water

Water that is too hot can damage hair prostheses, while cold water may not effectively remove residues. Using lukewarm water is ideal for gentle and effective washing.

Application and Rinsing

Apply a small amount of specific shampoo for prosthetic hair and massage in gently. Avoid rough movements that could cause knots or damage. Rinse thoroughly to remove all shampoo residue.

Use of Complementary Products

For optimal care of hair prostheses, use complementary products such as specific moisturising conditioners and masks. Newfreestyle Hair System offers a complete range of products for the maintenance of hair prostheses.
