In-depth analysis | silicone-free vs silicone, shampoo actually how to choose?
In recent years, the concept of silicone-free shampoo has become more and more popular, and when our studio partners planted shampoo, they first asked if it was good, and then they had to ask, “is it silicone-free”? People are now as passionate about silicone-free shampoos as they are about amino acid cleansers!
However, is it really necessary to choose a silicone-free shampoo?
Actually, it really depends on the situation!
What is silicone oil? What is silicone oil? Is it really “unforgivable”?
Before we talk about silicone oils, let’s take a look at hair strands
The scales of our hair are very fragile, and when we wash our hair or wet it, the scales open up, so after washing our hair, it often feels dry, frizzy, and lacks luster.
The main role of silicone oil is to smooth out the scales and make hair smoother and shinier. From this point of view, the addition of silicone oil to shampoo and conditioning products is very beneficial to the hair.
And there is no conclusive research data to suggest that silicone oils do not clog our scalp follicles and exacerbate hair loss. So why are people shying away from silicone oils now?
The real reasons why we don’t like silicone shampoos
Insufficient cleansing power
The addition of silicone oil will greatly weaken the cleaning power of the shampoo, the hair is much smoother, but the scalp is not clean but it is difficult! Shouldn’t the point of washing hair be to wash it clean? The second is to moisturize and smooth, walk with the wind of the floating feeling, right!
Poor oil control
emm… If you don’t wash your scalp well, your oil control will naturally be affected. Please feel free to use your imagination, there might be a layer of oil on your skin that hasn’t been washed off, and you think it’s going to give us a pleasant surprise with long-lasting oil control?
It can build up oil and cause inflammation!
Blackboard! Maybe, just maybe.
This article is actually for oily scalp, long-term use of silicone shampoo with insufficient cleansing power, may cause sebum buildup, and even cause scalp inflammation.
The top of the head will collapse
The top of the head is collapsing, I believe that the fairies can understand this experience, who has not been a lazy do not want to wash their hair when the picture is well
The shampoo containing silicone oil is prone to cause the top of the head of the hair flattened, for a hair loss beauty girl, the amount of hair has become less, the top of the head of the hair is not fluffy a little bit, it is not very sad!
What’s so great about silicone-free shampoos?
After all the reasons why I don’t love silicone shampoos, it’s time to talk about silicone free shampoos!
Three Reasons Why I Love Silicone-Free Shampoos
First, it washes clean and leaves my scalp noticeably clearer and more refreshed;
Second, my hair is fluffier after shampooing, and the top of my head doesn’t flatten out;
Third, the overall oil-control power is longer-lasting than silicone-containing shampoos.
Silicone-free shampoo is very good in all aspects, but there is a fatal disadvantage: it is very dry! Most silicone-free shampoos leave hair very dry and frizzy after shampooing!
There are pros and cons, so to speak, but for me the pros outweigh the cons.
Silicone & Silicone-free, how to choose
Choosing silicone-free vs silicone-containing shampoo still depends on hair type and needs:
First of all, not much hair loss star, I personally recommend choosing silicone-free shampoo, wash more fluffy, but also appear to be a little more hair, right?
Dry hair: in fact, do not have to “talk about silicon color change”, dry scalp oil secretion less, do not need every day to strong clean + oil control. You can use two shampoos together.
Oily hair: it is best to use silicone-free shampoo. Strive for high cleaning power + long-lasting oil control.
Yes drop, even if you have to look at the hair texture, but I still prefer to choose silicone-free shampoo.
Because our hair is dirtier than we think! Don’t believe me? Let’s feel the hair and scalp in the end every day through what stormy wash!
Hair also need to “remove makeup”?
Burden 1: Crazy oil secretion of oily scalp
Scalp is also our valuable skin, most of the oily, mixed oily skin type sister, scalp is also oily, it is very love oil, it is very annoying.
A day without washing hair, head “Kua” on the collapse;
Two days do not wash your hair, hair locks with the wind;
If you don’t wash your hair for three days, you won’t use oil for frying from now on!
This description is not very vivid and very sad, in addition to the oil head affects the mood, affect the image, the secretion of excess oil, but also to our scalp has brought a layer of heavy burden.
Burden two: dust haze “loose powder” pouncing
Now we have this air quality, even if it is not hazy days, the dust in the air is like a transparent powder puff into our hair, although the naked eye rarely feel out, but we bathe in the “free powder” world every day. Occasionally encountered hazy days, that is “yellow and white exclusive loose powder” day!
Burden three: to the hair “fixed makeup”, but not “remove makeup” off-topic off-topic, today is not to share with you how to win in the hairstyle, but to talk about going out to the hair spray this styling spray, painted that hair oil, layer after layer of hair to the hair! “Fixed a makeup”, beautiful out, but not forget to give the hair “remove makeup” ah!
We all know that the face to remove the makeup and then sleep, how to the hair does not care about people ah! How can you be so “double standard”?
Look, think about it really is the same thing, every day we give the burden of hair and scalp ≈ full face with makeup 8 hours ah! How can we not give our hair a good “make-up removal”? To be as serious as skin care hair care, can not just say.
Then the question comes, now stay up late party more and more, coupled with irregular diet, oily hair, although more and more, but most of the oil head party is hair root oil, hair is still dry and frizzy. Although it is the choice of silicone-free shampoo to wash a clean, but also can not afford to blow up hair it is not?
