First of all, what is a silicone-free shampoo?
Broadly speaking, shampoo ingredients do not contain the "silicone oil" component (eg polydimethylsiloxane, dimethiconol, ammonia-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, etc.) Products can be called silicone-free shampoo.
Xiaobian’s focus this time is, do you need to use a silicone-free shampoo?
Here are some of the pros and cons of using silicone oil shampoo. . .
Regarding the role and safety of silicone oil in shampoo, Xiao Bian will not say more here. A brief summary is that silicone oil is generally used in the cosmetics industry. The advantage is that after washing, the hair is particularly supple, smooth, and feels very textured. However, there are certain drawbacks. In many cases, you may have the following conditions. How to wash the scalp is not clean, old dirty things, large dandruff, itchy eyes, a long time will be a lot of hair loss, broken hair even exposed a large scalp, and the root cause of this problem is the long-term use of silicone oil Caused by water, and the incubation period of silicone oil on the scalp can reach 20 years
Maybe you will ask, what are the benefits of silicone-free shampoo?
[1] A smoother shampoo feel, more suitable for hair care.
Traditional shampoos use silicone oil plus cationic polymer as a conditioning component. When washing hair, some silicone oil is deposited on the hair. At the same time, some silicone oil is washed off when washing the hair. However, this deposition-washing process does not always have the same amount per use. Specifically, silicone oil deposits more and more on the hair as the number of uses increases. After 5~9 times of use, the amount of silicone oil is the highest. Your hair will feel more greasy than when you start using it. There is no sense of volume, and it is more and more easy to stick to gray. In short, your feeling is that the effect is worse! (Of course, if you are a serious damaged hair, this phenomenon may occur less)
At this time, the silicone-free shampoo can cleanse the silicone oil and cations that stay on the hair, leaving your hair in a state of zero silicone oil or less silicone oil. After thoroughly cleaning your hair after one or two silicone-free shampoos, you will use shampoo with silicone oil again. You will be surprised to find out why the shampoo that usually feels like a normal shampoo can be slippery and the effect is so good. ? Simply put, that's because in silicone oil-free hair, shampoos containing silicone oil can deposit more at once!
My personal experience is this, after using the silk memory silicone oil shampoo to thoroughly clean, the use of the Qing Yang shampoo is like a complete shampoo - become very slippery and slippery! I believe that you will like this new and silky feeling:-)

On the other hand, many shampoo silicone oil deposition techniques are not reasonable, and the damaged parts of the hair need to deposit silicone oil, but the healthy hair parts are actually more likely to deposit polydimethylsiloxane than the hair roots. After using the shampoo several times in this way, the roots are deposited too much, causing the roots to be greasy, and at the same time, the silicone oil will inevitably deposit on the scalp when shampooing (I have not said that the silicone oil can be beneficial on the scalp. ). At this time, a silicone-free shampoo will sweep away the silicone oil from the roots and scalp to a refreshing scalp and hair. It is also a happy thing.
