HAIR FACT OF THE WEEK

Lets talk sulfate. Have you ever looked at the back of your shampoo bottle and actually read the ingredients? If you haven't you should. Many shampoo's contain an ingredient usually labeled sodium laureth sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate. Sulfate is basically bubbles. It's what makes your shampoo lather up when you wash your hair. A lot of people don't know the damaging effects this ingredient can have on there hair. Sulfate dries out the hair and strips it of it's natural oils. It can even dry out your hair follicles and lead to hair loss. It can also cause eye and skin irritation. It's best to use sulfate free products. They may cost more but it's worth it. Lean towards more natural ingredients..it may not lather up they way you like/or used to..but at the end of the day you'll be happier with how much healthier your hair is. Also, if you have color in your hair..you will be surprised how vibrant your color stays. Check out my product reviews..I posted a shampoo that's sulfate free. Loreal also just released a sulfate free shampoo that's easier to get a hold of..It retails for $6.99 you can find it Here
