How does silicone oil ruin your hair?


The term silicone oil is familiar to everyone. Since the use of silicone-containing shampoos, dandruff, head oil, and even hair loss have occurred, causing consumers to be afraid of the word "silicon." But do you really understand what silicone oil is? Is silicone oil good or bad for hair?


What is silicone oil in the end?


Silicone oil is actually a lubricant that makes hair smooth and smooth. It is often used in hair care products such as 2-in-1 shampoos and conditioners.


Silicone oil is an emulsified silicone oil that acts as a cohesive and polishing agent in the shampoo, making the hair look brighter and smoother to the touch. However, silicone oil is a chemical component. If it exceeds the standard, it will cause irritation to the scalp, and the culprit causing hair loss, dryness and itching of the scalp is it.














How does silicone oil "protect" your hair?


Why does the shampoo containing silicone oil feel smooth and shiny, and the hair feels better?


In fact, during the shampooing process, the silicone oil fills the gap of the open scales. Because of the strong adhesion and the ductility of the silicone oil, the formed silicone oil protective film is not easily broken down and destroyed, so that the hair shampoo can be smooth and smooth. Effective. But in fact, the hair is just wrapped up, making you feel slippery.














What is the effect of silicone oil shampoo?


If a shampoo containing silicone oil is used, it is impossible to wash off the silicone oil remaining on the original hair, and the silicone oil in the shampoo is again wrapped in the hair.


The old ones are not cleaned up, the new ones are covered, and the accumulation of the old silicone oil will eventually completely wrap the outer layer of the hair, making the hair thicker, and the hair can not absorb the nutrients. It has to dry up and even clog the hair follicles to cause hair loss and dandruff.














Simply identify whether shampoo contains silicone oil


Usually, people can only passively listen to the manufacturer's ingredient description. If the manufacturer intentionally misleads, it is difficult for consumers to find out. However, an experienced hair stylist can be identified by the feel of shampooing, the difference in moisturization of the washed hair, and the ease of drying.


Here, we provide a simple identification method. Just look at whether the shampoo is clear and transparent for simple identification. Transparent is usually a silicon-free shampoo.


Because the silicone oil itself has a very high oiliness, once added to the shampoo, it will emulsifie with the surfactant, and the shampoo will produce a turbid or white chemical reaction, so the general shampoo containing silicone oil is translucent or Opaque state.


Of course, it does not mean that all opaque shampoos contain silicone oil. Similarly, shampoos that do not contain silicone oil can also be made opaque.
