Czechs started putting an empty glass in the bathroom this year. It has already saved thousands of households

In the Czech Republic, an interesting trend of placing an empty glass in the bathroom has spread, which has a significantly positive effect on the quality of hair. This trick consists in using a regular glass, for example from jam, to dilute the shampoo with water. Conventional shampoos often contain chemicals and additives that can damage the hair and scalp, especially with frequent washing.

Why dilute the shampoo?

Diluting shampoo in water brings several significant benefits. First of all, the amount of shampoo used is reduced, which saves money and is more environmentally friendly at the same time. Another advantage is the reduction of the aggressiveness of the shampoo on the hair and scalp, which is especially beneficial for people with dry, brittle and fine hair. Shampoo diluted with water is less irritating and its use reduces the risk of eye irritation.

Beware of contamination

Dermatologists recommend adding water to the shampoo immediately before using it to avoid contaminating the product or changing its properties. This method is especially suitable for shampoos with a high content of sulfates, which form a rich lather. However, with sulfate-free shampoos or those specially formulated to treat itchy scalps, it is better to avoid adding water to avoid over-diluting the active ingredients.

Choose the right shampoo

For shampoos with a high sulfate content that create a rich lather, it may be appropriate to dilute the shampoo with a small amount of water. On the contrary, when using sulfate-free shampoos or those intended for specific purposes, such as treating an itchy scalp, the addition of water should be avoided in order not to dilute the active ingredients too much and reduce their effectiveness​​​​

Saving money and gentler hair care

This simple but effective method of diluting shampoo in a glass with water is becoming a popular method for improving the quality of hair care. It offers economic savings and a gentler approach to hair and scalp care. This trend is an example of how a small change in our daily routine can have a significant impact on our health and well-being.
