Is it true that silicone oil shampoo causes hair loss?

The hair of contemporary youth is very valuable

The post-90s who are punking out for health

The obsession with hair care and anti-hair loss is unprecedented

Whenever there is a shampoo on the market that boasts

“Anti-hair loss”

will sell very well

On the other hand, if it is accused of “causing hair loss”

will be the end of the road

For example, “silicone oil”

In the last year or two

Whether it’s TV commercials or online celebrities sharing

have been promoting the concept that

The silicone oil added in traditional shampoo will clog pores and cause hair loss.

For a while the supermarkets sold silicone oil-free shampoo to burst

Of course, the price is also much more expensive than shampoos containing silicone oil

But is silicone oil really so “bad”?

Silicone-free and really “better”?

Is the extra money spent “more worth it”?

Is there a relationship between silicone oil and hair loss?

No!

If you go through the ingredients list of shampoo

I’m sure you can’t see the word silicone oil

Polydimethylsiloxane

Polydimethylsiloxane alcohol

Amino-terminated polydimethylsiloxane

is its real name

Silicone oil is a large molecule substance

and is not absorbed by hair follicles

It is harmless to human body and low cost to manufacture

The amount added to the shampoo is not too high

Leaves very little residue on the scalp after shampooing

The culprit of hair loss

It could be androgens and genetics

It can also be due to irregular life, staying up late

Mental stress, poor nutrition

It may also be postpartum hair loss

……

But there is no such type of hair loss caused by silicone oil

And, scalp oil is not the cause of hair loss!

The so-called oil clogging pores, causing hair loss

It’s really a trumped up charge

Who is better, silicone oil or silicone oil free?

Since the surface layer of hair is hair scales

Clean hair will be frizzy under normal circumstances

One comb to the bottom? Impossible

Thank goodness it doesn’t get tangled.

Silicone oil as a softener in shampoo

Distributes evenly on the hair surface

Grab the hair scales and fill in the surface bumps

Makes hair smooth and silky

It also reduces frictional damage to the hair scales during shampooing

For a long time, it has been the

The best choice of softener in shampoo

 

Nowadays, “silicone-free” has emerged.

Is there a better choice of softener?

Silicone free shampoos

Need to add other softeners instead of silicone oil

However, the softening effect is not comparable to silicone oil

Hair will be more dry after washing

So someone came up with the concept of “volumizing”

For young people with hair loss/low hair

Volumizing can be considered an advantage

After all, it will look like more hair volume

But voluminous dry hair in autumn and winter

Is a walking static emitter

Everywhere you go, it explodes

So you need to buy additional

Conditioner, hair mask and other products to make hair soft and smooth

Of course, spending more money is not the worst

The worst thing is that conditioners and hair masks often contain silicone oil

Silicone oil vs silicone oil-free, how to choose?

Hair is greasy and soft

Choose silicone-free oil is more fluffy and fresh

And like soft and long hair

or dry, static-prone, perm-damaged hair

Silicon oil shampoo may be more suitable
