Sulfate Free Shampoos - Why Use them? Sulfates are used in many shampoos to produce a lathering affect and clean the hair. However, if your hair is damaged, dry, or chemically treated, these sulfates can cause breakage and hair loss. The reason is because harsh sulfates actually strip the hair, leading to dryness. Dryness leads to decreased elasticity and breakage. One common sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, is known to cause eye irritations, skin rashes, hair loss, scalp scurf similar to dandruff, and allergic reactions. However, you will probably find it on the ingredient list of most of your shampoos. Other harsh sulfates include:
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
TEA Lauryl Sulfate
TEA Laureth Sulfate
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
TEA Lauryl Sulfate
TEA Laureth Sulfate
Some SULFATE FREE options...
Pureology has worked really well with my hair and is available at salons and online. I have also seen this brand at Nordstrom Rack and Costco!
Organix is a natural and inexpensive brand that you can find at most supermarkets and drugstores. The scent and ingredient options are great!
