Ever wondered why there are so many different shampoos, conditioners, and hairstyling products? The answer is simple. All hair is not the same. As a matter of fact, there are more types of hair than Fitzpatrick skin types. Hair care product design is a fine art with many advances derived from textile manufacture. Why is there so much excellent research on hair care? Because this area of cosmetics is unregulated and because hair is nonliving, there are few health issues, which provides for increased creativity and diverse technologies.
