How Sulfate-Free Shampoos Benefit Your Hair

These days, more and more people are looking at the labels on their hair shampoos and calling into question the ingredients listed.

USA, CA (prHWY.com) February 25, 2013 - (Press Release) 26 Feb-Good thing too; there are some pesky chemicals that lurk in many cleansing and hair styling products that can cause dreadful problems for your tresses. One such chemical is sodium lauryl sulfate, and more and more brands have recently released their own lines of sulfate-free hair shampoos for those who have started shunning traditional shampoos. But do sulfates really cause problems for your scalp and mane? Why the surge in sulfate-free shampoos? And do these products keep the coif looking as good as traditional hair-care products?

Sulfates are a type of lathering detergents, which make hair-cleansing products foamy and bubbly. The most common sulfate in hair shampoos is sodium lauryl sulfate, which cuts through oil on the scalp and removes it. Sodium lauryl sulfate also allows the other ingredients in the shampoo to absorb into the scalp and body more easily. While this is good for the vitamins and natural ingredients in haircare products, it also allows additional chemicals to work their way into the body. In addition, sodium lauryl sulfate can irritate the skin. It strips the scalp of its natural oils and dries out the hair shaft, which can cause your locks to look and feel frizzy.

That said, many people choose to use shampoos that contain sulfates because they don't believe hair can become clean without the suds. With sulfate-free shampoos, the lathering detergent has been replaced by other cleansing ingredients, so it foams less than its sulfate-filled counterparts. While the bubbles don't actually have anything to do with how clean the hair is, many people wind up using too much shampoo to try to get that clean feeling they got from the sulfate shampoo.

Within these products, the sulfates have been replaced, often with glycerine and plant-derived ingredients (some of which can be considered organic). These organic beauty products prevent the scalp from becoming too dry, leaving hair softer. Sulfate-free options are not harsh on your scalp, so irritation and dandruff are not exacerbated. Instead of washing away the oil your scalp needs to stay balanced, sulfate-free shampoos help your scalp maintain a proper balance. This reduces frizz and keeps hair smooth and shiny. It can even help you avoid flaky dandruff patches on the scalp and consistent use is one way how to get rid of dandruff.

The secret to healthy hair is to avoid damaging it with chemical-laden products and treat it to natural, organic beauty products that help hair look better in its natural state. Without sulfates to leach your locks of moisture and absorb unhealthy chemicals, your gorgeous mane will feel and look healthier.
