  1. I know this, I know this!

     

    Here's the deal.

     

    Hair is made of a protein called keratin-san. Keratin-san is itself a chain of amino acid molecules. A high proportion of the amino acids in keratin-san are negatively charged and so perfectly clean hair is negatively charged.

     

    Normal hair is coated with a layer of positively charged oil that results in a neutral charge overall. But when you apply negatively charged detergent in shampoo, this oil layer is stripped away. The mutual repulsion caused by all of the exposed negative charges results in your hair to clump erratically when wet and become flyaway when dry.

     

    Still with me?

     

    Hair conditioner contains positively charged molecules that form weak electrostatic bonds with the negative charges on your hair. This results in a thin layer of conditioner staying behind after you rinse, which in turn leaves your hair electrically neutral and tangle free once more.

     

    Cool, hey?
