Sulfate-free shampoo is a shampoo that does not contain harsh detergents like SLS and SLES, cleaning the hair gently without completely stripping away its natural oils. It is most suitable for dry, color-treated, and keratin-treated hair, as well as for those who wash their hair daily or suffer from a dry scalp due to constant air conditioning.
What are sulfates and why are they used?
Sulfates are cleansing agents that create a thick lather and remove grease quickly, which is why they are common in many types of shampoo. The problem is that they can be harsh on certain hair types with repeated use, leaving the hair dry and coarse.
Who is sulfate-free shampoo suitable for?
- Color-treated hair: It helps maintain the color for a longer period.
- Keratin or protein-treated hair.
- Dry or curly hair.
- Those who wash their hair frequently due to heat and exercise.
Does it clean well enough?
Yes. Less lather does not mean weaker cleaning. If your scalp is very oily, simply massage it well for a minute and add a mud mask once a week to remove buildup. Read also Oily scalp care routine in the Gulf climate.
How to choose the right shampoo?
- Read the ingredient list and make sure it is free of SLS and SLES.
- Choose a shampoo that adds value to the scalp, such as minerals.
- Try it for at least two weeks; hair may need time to adapt.
