Can You Use Horse Shampoo On Human Hair?

I was getting ready to go out for a nice meal the other night, when I realized at the worst moment I didn’t have any shampoo.

It was too late to go out and get any, so I had to think fast.

What could I use in a pinch?

I’d recently given both of my horses a bath, and so my mind went to the product I used for them.

After an undignified run to where we keep the horse products, I used it and it seemed to be okay.

After the fact, I checked I hadn’t done myself any damage.

Can you use horse shampoo on human hair?

Yes, absolutely. Horse shampoo can have a very drying effect on human hair so be sure to dilute it first, but other than that it is a great choice. It may not be best for all types of hair, but in a pinch it certainly works very well, and some have even begun to favor horse shampoo for their own hair.

So, I wasn’t in any trouble and I hadn’t damaged my hair.

If anything, it looked smooth, strong and shiny after I’d washed it with the horse shampoo.

In any case, let’s look further into this question.

What does horse shampoo do to human hair?

For the most part, the same thing that ordinary shampoo does.

It cleans it, rinses it out, and makes it look smooth, shiny and sleek.

Think about how your horse’s main or tail have looked after you’ve shampooed them—it’s truly magnificent, and this can be the same for you.

One of the big benefits of horse shampoo, that many have been talking about, is promoting growth.

I will get into that shortly, but there are lots of other benefits.

Again, it’s important for you to know what kind of hair you have and whether this choice is the right one for you.

Horse shampoo is good for thicker hair, and not so good for finer, more delicate hair.

The one thing to reiterate is that horse shampoo is very dry, since horse hair tends also to be much drier than our own.

Whatever brand you’re using, then, you should always dilute it.

If you don’t dilute it, it will make you hair feel very dry and unpleasant.

Apart from that, horse shampoo will not do anything to your hair that other shampoos wouldn’t do.

It will keep it clean and healthy.

So, what about the hair growth notion, then? Is it really a miracle growth formula?

Does horse shampoo work for hair growth?

Unfortunately, the simple answer is not really.

For hair that is not under any immediate danger of falling out or being lost, it may help add volume and thickness to it.

It may even look as though there is more hair.

The reality of hair growth formulas, though, is that they very rarely work.

Once your hair is gone, it’s gone.

There isn’t a miracle formula to bring it back, as much as we might wish there was.

Horse shampoo won’t revive your hair, but it could help protect it for the future.

If you begin using horse shampoo long before your hair starts falling out, you may prolong its lifespan, keeping it thicker and healthier.

Like I said, it’s not a miracle formula, though.

You’ll need to use it regularly and keep an eye on how it’s working.

If you’re younger, horse shampoo will help your hair grow, since it’s already doing so on its own.

This is the important point: horse shampoo can help aid growth that is already occurring.

It cannot force growth from nothing.

Can you use horse shampoo on fine hair?

This is the other point people often ask, and it’s worth mentioning.

If you have very fine hair, then horse shampoo probably isn’t the best choice for you.

It’s really designed for much thicker and stronger hair, and so your hair might not be able to take it and it could damage it.

You can always test it out by very, very heavily diluting it and seeing how it appears.

If it seems to be okay, try diluting it a little less next time.

Go on this way until you find a good level, but just be careful of how much you use.

There are a lot of much better options for finer hair than horse shampoo.

Human shampoo is better, so just stick with that if you’re unsure.

There’s actually a lot of benefits to using horse shampoo on your own hair, then.

It may not be right for everyone, since we all have different hair, but it definitely works and in some cases works very well.

As I said, the only thing is you should dilute it first since it’s so dry.

Apart from that, though, horse shampoo makes an excellent shampoo in a pinch if you have nothing else.
