How Does Shampoo Work?
This week Reactions takes a look at the science behind how shampoo works. Thanks to chemistry, the products we use to clean and style our hair have evolved over decades — even centuries. How do hairsprays protect your hair while keeping it flexible and light? What's the deal with sls? How do shampoos work, and why are some people choosing to dump the lather altogether? This week, “Ms. Beautyphile” Trina Espinoza and Lex Fleming from “Made U Look” join us in the New York City YouTube Space to explain the science behind hair care. 0:38 - Scientific content starts Find us on all these places: Subscribe! http://bit.ly/ACSReactions Facebook! http://facebook.com/ACSReactions Twitter! http://twitter.com/ACSReactions Tumblr! http://tumblr.com/ACSReactions Virada Cultural 2012 - Old Jazz - Ipiranga & Av Sao Joao by Listening to the City https://soundcloud.com/listeningtothecity Funk by Jack Abrams https://soundcloud.com/jack-abrams Producer: Elaine Seward Writer: Sophia Cai Elaine Seward Executive Producer: Adam Dylewski Scientific consultants: Perry Romanowski Trina Esponiza Sophia Cai Darcy Gentleman, Ph.D. Sources: http://www.ehow.com/about_5460777_basic-antidandruff-shampoo-ingredients.html http://thebeautybrains.com/2007/03/the-shampoo-secret-beauty-companies-dont-want-you-to-know/ Ever wonder why dogs sniff each others' butts?

How Do Anti-Wrinkle Creams Work?
This week Reactions is looking at the chemistry behind anti-aging creams. We headed to the science to see if the claims to make your skin smooth are true! Skin can stay firm and stretchy thanks to protein fibers called collagen and elastin in the tissue beneath the surface. But environmental factors like smoking or ultraviolet rays from the sun can produce free radicals that damage skin cells’ ability to make more of these supports. Anti-wrinkle products claim they keep the skin surface fresh and rejuvenate these cells, but does their chemistry legit?

How Did the 80s Get Hair So Big?
You can check out Google's Science Journal app at http://g.co/ScienceJournal The 80s was a decade full of neon leg warmers, power ballads, and big hair. But how did we get that big hair so bad it’s good? A little bit of teasing and a lot of chemistry. This week Ms. Beautyphile helps us tackle the science behind perms and crimping and overall big 80s hair.
