When I was strolling around the drugstore I found it very interesting
by seeing a shampoo which declared it could repair and strengthen hair in 1
wash, and it is also sulfate-free.. Please meet one of my favourite hair care
routine, Ever Strong Sulfate Free, anti breakage shampoo by L’oreal.
And here’s what they said about the Product :
EverStrong Sulfate-Free
Fortify System, a new hair fortifying and caring system that injects strength
into hair from the first wash. Our formulas, with 360º Cuticle Care, help
reinforce weak & fragile hair from the inside of the cuticle to the outside
to help prevent breakage and split ends. Natural aromatic properties from
rosemary energize and invigorate the senses.
I have to say I really love it from the very first
aplication. The fact that it's sulfate-free means I do not have to worry about
my scalp having adverse reactions to it, and that my hair is not subjected to
harsh ingredients.
So what are sulfates? They are what makes your shampoo
lather up when you wash your hair. So what makes them so bad? Sulfates are
effective in in removing oil, and have been used in all kinds of cleaning products
such as facial foams, body cleansers, and even floor cleaners used in mechanic
shops. For a long time, we have been associating foam with clean, and we want
clean non-oily hair, right?
Okay.. I am about to be more serious here..
Sulfates, present in Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium
Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, and other variations. Some are
stronger and harsher than others, but they are essentially sulfate.
Sulfates have been known to cause skin irritation (i.e
scalp irritation) and hair follicle damage, which can lead to diminished hair
growth and weakened hair structure. Scary.. Huh?!
Coloured hair is already weakened, So imagine the
damage sulfates can do when they strip the hair off whatever moisture it has
left. Yup, brittle, frizzy hair.
I did my research, and found that most sulfate-free
shampoos do not lather as well, and thus people tend to use more in order to
get the amount of lather they're used to, to achieve that squeaky-clean
feeling, but I was very pleased to find that the L'Oreal EVERSTRONG shampoo,
for something sulfate-free, lathers like a charm! So no damage done to my hair
and it also smells like a rain forest, so fresh !
I've been using this shampoo for about 2 weeks now, and
I have to say it again I really love it, from the very first time.. My hair
doesn't break as easily, and it feels pretty soft and manageable.
Bye for now, see you on my next post !
