In the last article I said that the good Daily Conditioner for colored hair. They just do not wash away the pigment as much as do other shampoo, so bright color after dyeing is long.

But now let's talk about whether we as a whole Daily Conditioner or not needed.

It is very strange that many masters and even doctors write "beZsulfatny", ignoring the rules of the Russian language - before voiceless consonant is always written by the prefix "infinite". You'd be surprised, but with the prefix "un-" write advertisements and serious beauty-materials. Personally, I later in this article and other materials will be writing all the rules - "bessulfatny".

To begin with, that is all the sulfates, and whether to be afraid of them.

Sulfates - a sulfuric acid salt (cleaning agents) are present in the composition of detergents, regardless of their destination: this shampoo or dishwashing detergent or laundry powder.

sulfates task - not just wash off any fat from the surface, and to organize a total degreasing.

In shampoos encountered several groups of sulfate - SLS, SLES, ALS and SAS. Among them very soft and forgiving surfactants - Sodium alkyl sulfate SAS and ammonium laureth sulfate ALS.

About SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) that just does not write, constantly afraid of articles that it's cheap industrial component, which is used to degrease car engines, used in vehicles for washing floors. Very often emphasize that the SLS - it's cheap and cheerful, as though thus justifying the high cost Daily Conditioner (it costs 2-3 times more expensive than usual shampoo).

SLS has been a pioneer in the world of shampoos. Sodium lauryl sulfate was part of the first shampoo that have emerged since the 1930s, and successfully replaced the usual soap in cleansing the scalp. SLS is well captures grease and dirt from the hair and then rinsed off easily with water. But unfortunately such a surfactant awarded portion myths and tales, since destruction of the hair structure according sulfate and ending with its effect on the development of cancers.

When people read these horror stories, forget about the rigid regulation of cosmetic products in the European countries. Especially all strictly in Germany, where any cosmetic do not miss out on the market as long as there is no evidence for its safety. Sulfate SLS shampoos are sold as part of there safely, and what is most interesting - it is proved that sodium lauryl sulfate has the ability to bioaccumulate (ie accumulate in the environment). And since it does not accumulate in the environment, in particular - in the head, then about any irritation of the skin of the head because of the sulfate and speech can not be.

Very surprised about the materials that sulfate molecules are very small and are able to penetrate the skin. Only here for some reason ignored the information that in contact with pure sulfate (and not as a part of shampoos) with skin, wash the skin with water. That, in principle, we are doing when my hair with shampoo. So I do not see any problems with sulfates, it simply inflated.

Quite another thing when it comes to washing out of color pigments sulfate shampoos. Then yes, these shampoos paint washed out rapidly, and our dyed hair in a week may lose their bright color. Here it is necessary Daily Conditioner. It is recommended to use after keratin straightening.

More Daily Conditioner is not recommended to buy those with the scalp is prone to fat. Because they do not help to reduce the intensity of sebum, there is need of deep cleaning shampoo.

To summarize

To cleanse the scalp, you can safely use sulfate shampoos.

Harmful, cheap, industrial and sulfates frightening you will be picked up on the head grease, dirt, styling tools and components away from you as soon as begin to wash shampoo.

Nothing on the head skin and hair does not accumulate.

Daily Conditioner in the purification of the head will have to use more than the usual shampoo.

Daily Conditioner used after hair coloring or straightening of keratin.
