What is Shampoo Lather? Share on E-mail message. What creates lather? The only time you may want to wash your hair two times is if you use a lot of styling products especially silicone-based ones and you don't wash your hair too frequently. Styling products can build up over time and may need two shampoos to remove thoroughly.
Do more suds mean cleaner hair? Surfactants have several different properties - the two main ones are cleansing and foaming. However, these properties don't influence each other. Simply put, surfactants can clean well without much foam and shampoo can suds like crazy without cleaning well.
It's the job of the cosmetic scientists making the products to use the right kind of surfactants at the right levels to create a good balance of cleaning power and foaming. A lot of foam is more of an aesthetic property of a shampoo than a functional property. In all of our shampoos at John Masters Organics, we use naturally derived surfactants sourced from coconuts that provide our formulas with a rich, creamy foam, making every wash feel luxurious.

Our habits need to be changed for ecological benefits. In the formula of a classic shampoo, we find surfactants. It is he who lathers or does not shampoo: What is a surfactant? A surfactant is a detergent or "washing base" which lowers the tension of water and facilitates the penetration of a fatty body.
With rinsing, the water therefore removes the "grease" from your hair. The best known surfactants are sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfates, these chemical active ingredients are often criticized. They have a high detergent potential but tend to remove the scalp from its thin layer of natural oil. Your scalp therefore becomes more sensitive and sometimes irritated.
The solution is therefore organic or natural shampoo but which unlike classic shampoo lathers much less. Indeed, organic shampoos do not use surfactants from the sulphate family but natural derivatives based on coconut oil, babssu or others according to the chosen formulas. These formulas thicken the shampoo but do not have the foaming capacity as high as chemical sulfates.
In conclusion, it is not the foam that washes your scalp and makes it more effective. The natural shampoo lathers less but does not detract from the effectiveness. These are just new habits to take for the benefits of your scalp and for a more ecological approach.
