Honey Silk shampoo contains a relatively high percentage of extra virgin olive oil, up to 5% of the shampoo’s total content.
Honey Silk shampoo stands out for two main reasons:
When you apply shampoo to your hair and massage your scalp, the encapsulated olive oil quickly penetrates the scalp and accumulates within the sebaceous glands attached to the hair follicles. While the shampoo washes away old sebum from the hair, the olive oil remains within the glands in the scalp, gradually revealing its effects during and after bathing.
Over time, with repeated use, the olive oil content in the sebaceous glands increases until it becomes the predominant component.
The sebum in human scalp glands accumulates from the fats consumed in the diet. If the predominant dietary fats are oxidized (as in the case of excessive fried food consumption), the body prefers not to use these oxidized fats for energy production. Instead, it eliminates them through external sebaceous glands, such as those in the scalp. These fats accumulate and gradually transform into toxic aldehyde compounds, leading to continuous hair loss.
Additionally, these fats create a fertile environment for fungal growth, causing dandruff. Scalps affected by dandruff have sebaceous glands containing fatty substances that cannot resist fungal colonization; on the contrary, they facilitate fungal growth. The inflammation of sebaceous glands by fungi irritates them, resulting in itching, increased sebum secretion, and ultimately more oily hair, intense itching, and irritation on the scalp.
This condition leads to stubborn dandruff, providing an ideal environment for fungal growth. Unfortunately, standard anti-dandruff treatments provide only temporary relief, followed by severe exacerbation.
Olive oil, on the other hand, has the following benefits:
These properties may not fully manifest after the first use, but they gradually become more pronounced by the day and by the shower. Your hair will become stronger, softer, and completely free from dandruff. For faster results, consider using The B pharma conditioner with olive oil and reducing the consumption of oxidized or processed fats in your diet, while increasing natural food intake.
While consuming olive oil has overall health benefits for the body, its impact on hair is minimal and slow. Only a small portion of the consumed oil reaches the sebaceous glands in the scalp while the rest get distributed to all the glands and fatty cells. Therefore, direct application of olive oil through shampoo or conditioner is faster and more effective specifically for hair benefits.
The Result: NOTHING beats olive oil in benefit to your hair.
