Does silicone oil harm the scalp? No evidence!


It is said that long-term use of silicone oil will lead to the failure of thorough cleaning of the silicone oil on the hair and the continuous covering of the outer layer of the hair, which will not only lead to the loss of elasticity of the hair, but also block the pores, cause scalp itching, even hair loss and other sequelae.


This statement is not rigorous.


It is true that hair loss occurs after using shampoo, but the cause may be preservative, essence, surfactant, and silicone oil is only one of the possibilities. Take my personal experience as an example. I used to wash my hair with silicone oil shampoo, but once I changed to a silicone oil free shampoo, my hair fell off.


Therefore, if you use shampoo to cause hair loss, you should consider the whole product, rather than letting silicone oil be the scapegoat.


There is no direct evidence that silicone oil causes clogged scalp pores. According to the American cosmetics association, silicone oil is safe for cosmetics and does not irritate the skin. Although it can form a hydrophobic membrane on the skin, it is also breathable.


In addition, there is no evidence of teratogenicity, carcinogenicity and genotoxicity of PDMS.


Hair is thin and soft, no silicone oil is selected


In this way, silicone free shampoo can get rid of the suspicion of health hazards. You can choose the right shampoo according to your needs.


If your hair is thin, soft or short, and your hair collapses after using silicone oil shampoo, choose silicone oil free shampoo.


If after using some shampoos, the hair feels very oily, sticking together, and using other brands can not solve the problem, you can also consider using "silicone free shampoo".


Because, after using the shampoo containing silicone oil for 5-9 times, the deposition of silicone oil is the highest, the hair is more greasy than when it was first used, sagging, and there is no sense of volume (seriously damaged hair quality, this phenomenon occurs less).


At this time, after one or two times of "silicone free shampoo" to thoroughly clean hair, use some brands containing silicone oil shampoo again, you will find that the shampoo is smoother. Especially ordinary greasy hair, or thin, easy to stick together hair, but also can solve the problem.
