Our hair grows from the follicles in the scalp, and its main component is keratin. Under a microscope, you can see that there are uneven hair cuticles on it. This fish-like thing is the hair scale. When there are damaged hair scales on the hair, the friction between the hair increases, and the hair begins to tangle together and is not easy to comb.
Many people will obviously feel that their hair becomes smoother after using shampoo containing silicone oil. This is because after using shampoo containing silicone oil, the hair scales will open, and the silicone oil will attach to the hair scales to fill the gaps between the hair scales, which will naturally become smooth.
Moreover, silicone oil is a macromolecular substance that cannot be absorbed by hair follicles. Sometimes there are other ingredients in silicone oil, and the water solubility is also increased, which makes it even less likely to block the hair follicles. Moreover, there is not much silicone oil in shampoo (generally speaking, the silicone oil content in shampoo is 1%~2%). A large amount of water washing, coupled with the role of surfactants that play a cleaning role, will almost not leave any residue.
In fact, as early as the 1950s, silicone oil has been widely used in the cosmetics industry. Today, there are traces of silicone oil in various detergents. In shampoo, the most important effect is lubrication, that is, reducing friction resistance, and in the whole system, silicone oil is relatively stable and will not affect the cleaning ability of shampoo. So far, there is no authoritative statement confirming that silicone oil will cause hair loss, and all regular products sold by the factory have undergone strict quality inspections, and the content of ingredients meets the various indicators stipulated by the state, and safety assessments have been conducted, so consumers can use them with confidence.
