We
all use shampoos once or twice a week to keep our scalp and hair clean
and free from dirt. But how many of us check the ingredients of the
shampoos while buying or using them? Hardly a few of us truly care for
their hairs. Isn't it? But it is important for everyone to know the
ingredients in the shampoos we use as there are numerous ingredients
that are harmful to our hair, health as well as the environment.
So what all are those harmful ingredients that we need to avoid? Let's take a look at them below:
- Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
One
of the most common ingredients found in almost every shampoo available
in the market, sulfates are stronger detergents. Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
works through a chemical reaction where it binds with the sebum on the
scalp and with water. When you rinse out the shampoo, all the natural
oils and residues are taken away with the sulfates. Although your hair
and scalp get cleansed over time your hair might get damaged becoming
brittle and more frizzy.
- Parabens
Parabens
are yet another harmful chemical/ingredient in shampoos that one must
avoid. Parabens are often used as a preservative for preventing bacteria
from growing in cosmetics and shampoos. Parabens resemble the hormone
estrogen in many ways and have been linked to the increased growth of
breast cancer cells! Be careful ladies... buy an anti-paraben shampoo
like Herbishh natural shampoo.
- Sodium Chloride
Sodium
chloride, the other name of salt is found in shampoo and conditioner
for making the consistency thicker. But salt can make a sensitive scalp
drier and itchier eventually causing hair loss.
- Polyethylene Glycols (PEG)
Polyethylene
Glycol is a thickening agent that is derived from petroleum which is
often contaminated with by-products. The by-products in PEGs can be
harmful to hair and scalp in long run.
- Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethanolamine (TEA)
DEA and TEA are emulsifiers and foaming agents that are known for reducing surface tension to blend water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients together. There has been a link found between topical application of DEA and cancer in animals, however, the effects on humans are unclear. Did you know DEA in cosmetics has been banned by the European Commission?
Other harmful ingredients include formaldehyde, alcohol, synthetic fragrances, synthetic colors, triclosan, and many more.
