Do you easily suffer from dry scalp, itchy or lifeless hair? Then chances are the shampoo you use cleanses too aggressively. Many traditional shampoos contain sulphates, a type of cleanser that foams powerfully but also strips away natural oils. Fortunately, more and more natural shampoos without sulphates that clean gently and effectively.
What exactly are sulphates?
Sulphates such as SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulphate) provide the foaming effect in many shampoos. They remove dirt and grease, but also affect the natural protective layer of your scalp. This can lead to dryness, irritation and even dandruff.
Advantages of sulphate-free shampoo
- Gentle cleaning without drying out your hair and scalp
- Suitable for coloured hair – your colour stays beautiful for longer
- Ideal for skin problems such as eczema or sensitive skin
- Better balance for scalp and sebum production
What can you expect when you switch?
Sulphate-free shampoos often lather less, but that doesn't mean they don't cleanse as well. Your hair may feel a little different at first, but after a few washes, you'll notice that it becomes softer, shinier and healthier.
