Silicone-free shampoos

Recently, girls and women are paying more and more attention to the composition of the products they use. This applies to both make-up and skincare. For hair care, many choose shampoos without silicones. The advantages and disadvantages of this choice will be discussed in this article.

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

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

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

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

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 in "siloxane", "cone" or "conol".

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