If you use shampoo to wash it, you probably try to pick the best one. After all, you have to clean your hair well, right? Not really.
The shampoo doesn’t always clean the hair and, 60 or 70% of the commercial shampoos also leave chemical residues. I dare you to grab your bottle now. Notice what are the first three ingredients you have: water, sodium lauryl sulfate and some type of alcohol? This is called poo. It’s an aqueous chemical preparation with alcohol and a potent sulfate used to make the BASE of the best detergents.
Have you seen how your detergent sweeps all the fat out of your kitchen? That’s basically what you’re putting in your head. No doubt your hair couldn’t be this dirty. The SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) is one of the most powerful sulfates, it’s corrosive and -for that reason- it dries out the scalp a lot and opens the scales of the capillary strand (even more than it opens the oxidant cream that’s used for dying your hair).
That way, you corrode the delicate scalp while leaving each strand of your hair exposed to the environment. Unnecessary, don’t you think?
Other sulfates do the same work, and are just as damaging. You’re wondering, then, why the shampoo brings these very strong surfactants. They bring them because they’re the only ones that remove the silicones that many other “conditioner” products bring.
Silicones are a material that adheres to the hair strand and makes it look smooth, sealing with a film that often accumulates. That’s why the magical brilliance of many products. If your shampoo brings silicones, you should know that’s leaving chemical residues that only beautify your hair on the outside. Meanwhile, inside they just overwhelm it, making it unable to take hydration, nutrition or vitamins or amino acids needed to be healthy.
And, let me tell you, that healthy would shine much more. As you may have seen, the silicone-surfactant cycle is not a good thing. Your hair chokes, dries up, and to “fix it” we just make it up with more silicones. On the other hand, if you don’t use them, you can also do without the sulfates.
