Silicone-free shampoos

Silicone-free shampoos

Recently, girls and women are paying more and more attention to the composition of the products they use. This also applies to decorative cosmetics, and care. For hair care, many choose exactly silicone-free shampoo. The advantages and disadvantages of such a choice will be discussed in this article.

What is silicone and is it harmful?

Silicone is still one of the most common components used in virtually all cosmetic formulations. It is added to tonal creams, lipsticks and body and hair care products.

Silicone itself is a synthetic product that is made from silicon and oxygen compounds. These "chains" are heat resistant and flexible. In addition, they are able to retain moisture. Because of this, they are used to create all kinds of cosmetics.

Contrary to the beliefs of many, silicone itself does not harm the hair and body. It is not toxic. But at the same time, the product creates a thin protective film on the hair. On the one hand, it is very good, because it makes the hair well-groomed, heavy and shiny. But on the other hand, this effect is only an external manifestation of the action of silicone.

Because of the protective film that appears on the hair, the necessary nutrients do not penetrate into them. So, no matter how good masks and balms are used, they will not fully work on your curls.

In order to keep the strands still beautiful and well-groomed, girls are advised to choose shampoos without silicones in the composition. Otherwise, no extra power from outside will help you.

In addition, recently, experts prove that silicone is harmful not only to the hair, but also to the scalp. It does not penetrate the layer of the epidermis, but also creates a protective layer on it. This invisible film does not release moisture, but also holds dirt, bacteria and sebum on the skin. Thus, the skin becomes contaminated over time, and rashes and acne can appear on it.

How to determine the composition

If you want to be sure that the shampoo does not contain silicone, then look carefully at the composition. It should not contain a substance whose name ends with “siloxane”, “cone” or “conol”.

During use, the silicone-free shampoo is easily washed off, and after washing it does not leave any unpleasant sensations on the scalp.

However, denser shampoos, on the contrary, keep on the hair so tightly that they have to be washed off with other products.

How to restore hair

If after using silicone shampoos your hair looks tired and over-dried, you can try to restore them.

For the treatment of porous hair, you need to apply products that wash out the silicones that have accumulated in them, and gently cleanse the scalp. These properties can boast products that have the label on the label ALES, ALS, SLS or SLES.

But if you do not want to remove one chemistry with the help of another chemistry, and are not sure that the harm and benefits of such a product compensate each other, then use natural products.

From organic products that can be found in every home, you can choose vinegar or simple baby soap without aromatic additives.

After you rinse your hair with vinegar or wash your hair with soap, use a non-silicone shampoo for final cleaning. This method is well suited for porous hair, which after using the wrong products began to shag and fluff.

However, for complete hair restoration, it is not enough once or twice to carry out such a procedure. Your hair will take time to fully recover. As well as good food (this also applies to healthy food, and the use of masks) and the absence of stress.

Follow these simple tips, use quality silicone-free shampoos, and your hair will always remain well-groomed and healthy.
