Don’t you just love the feeling of freshly washed hair, and there’s nothing quite like the rich and creamy lather the shampoo creates while you wash it! But did you know that the thick and creamy lather maybe doing more harm than good to your hair? The special ingredient that turns your shampoo into a thick lather is ‘sulphate’.
Turns out, sulphate is also an ingredient that is found in most shampoos, and what is scary is that this ingredient is also found in household cleaning products and detergents. Yikes! Not the best thing for your hair, no?
The dead giveaway is the fact that sulphate stings if it enters your eyes. In addition to being an irritant, sulphate-based shampoos have many downsides too. They dry your skin and hair, and strip your scalp of its natural oils. It could also damage colour-treated hair, and is not the best ingredient if you are looking to tame frizzy curls.
Now before you run to the store and start reading the endless list of ingredients every shampoo has, let us narrow it down for you. Here are 7 trusted sulphate-free shampoos your hair will thank you for.
What we need is to learn a kinder and gentler way to wash our hair! Happy hair, ya’ll!
