Is it better to wash my hair with shampoo or soap?

Just to let you know, I am a male.





► Is there a long-term or any sort of advantage in washing hair with shampoo or soap rather than the other?








Peace ☣

Salaam alaikum brother





Soap generally is way too alkaline for the hair. I would stay with shampoo. But some may argue that the main lathering ingredient (surfactant) in shampoo, usually sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulphate, is too harsh for the scalp. This might be the case certainly if one had a skin/scalp disorder. Cocamidopropyl Betaine, derived from coconuts is one of the milder surfactants. It may not produce the desired foaminess so it may be combined with other ';mild'; surfactants that give the desired effect. One would probably only need to worry about though that if one had a scalp disorder.





Anyway, from personal experience I think it is always good to rotate shampoos to keep dandruff at bay. Scalp bacteria get used to a formula and then thrive after adaptation. Conditioner helps flatten down the cuticle after washing.





Hope this helps.

soap will dry your hair out and probably lead to a nasty case of dandruff. if money is a problem, try alternating between soap and shampoo... start off using soap two days then shampoo one... try that for a couple weeks and see what happens.





other than that, it won't cause any damage or anything like that.
It is better to use shampoo. Soap does not have the moisturizers that shampoo has and will make your hair drier and more damaged in time. Shampoo also contains essential vitamins to make hair more healthier. That is why they make a certain ';soap'; for hair. :)
Soap usually dulls the hair, doesn't deal with greasiness but makes the length of the hair dry.





Shampoo is best, try the 2 in 1 type, shampoo and conditioner. Most brands have them.
wash it with soap then with shampoo.





this is because the soap will clean it best but leaves it feeling off balance. you go back and wash it with shampoo to get the strange feeling out.
haha...my little brother uses body wash for his hair


it smells good, but he shouldn't do it!
