Because plain old soap can have harsh ingredients and be very drying, and moisturizing soap can leave a film that can weigh your hair down. There are some products that are made to be used as both soap and shampoo though. Baby wash can be used, but this won't do a very good job of removing product residue from your hair. philosophy makes some all-in-one products in several different scents.

It's all in the chemistry baby.
Unlike soap, shampoos have different PHs designed to do things to your hair like add volume or take out frizz. Also plain soap does nothing to stop tangles and shampoo helps keep the tangles down.

Shampoo is chemically formulated to provide your hair with the vitamins and nutrients it needs to look good. You can use shampoo, but it will just dry out yoru hair. You should use conditioner, also, if you care about the health of your hair.

soap doesn't have the products that help the hair to get clean with out drying out and breaking off.

shampoo is better then regular soap because it put vitamins in your hair so that your hair grows long and heathy. regular soap has antibacteriale stuff in it.

To be very technical...they change the zeta potential of your hair differently...which is also the purpose of conditioner. Dirty hair has a slightly negative zeta potential...shampoo greatly reduces it...conditioner makes it very positive...rinsing brings it down to slightly positive. Zeta potential is the charge developed between the surface of a solid and an ionic liquid.

i do not imagine you want a bar cleansing soap shampoo because it not purely strips the hair, making it even more suitable tangled, even if it isnt' sturdy on your hair. in case you favor to p.c.. elementary....perhaps you need to take a body cleansing soap and conditioner w/ you.

i would think b/c it won't dry your hair out like soap would and it's meant for hair. soap is meant for skin
