Comment on Most trustable hair shampoo company?
TowardsTheFuture@lemmy.zip 8 months agoMostly look for things without sulfates or other harsh surfactants. You just want a light wash. Often these can get marketed for coloured(dyed) hair as they are softer and won’t rip out colour as much. A lot of cheap shampoo is just harsh stuff that’ll rip open follicles and then the conditioner is made to get shoved in said follicles to make it look not bad.
I use pacifica or seaweed bath co. cuz I like their mint shampoo (plus they’re cruelty free) but I mean, those are definitely more expensive than they need to be for what you want.

Thanks for this! Do you reckon a product like this (Sukin Natural Balance Shampoo) would be ok? It claims to be sulfate and paraben free

Similarly, make sure if you use any conditioner that it is silicone free. Sulfates also exist in shampoo to strip built up silicones from the hair, so if you’re removing sulfates, you’ll miss removing the silicones. Silicones can be any compound that ends in -cone.

Thanks for the heads up :) The same brand does a conditioner that is silicone free, so I’ll try that out
