Recently there's been a big hoo-ha about beauty products that contain sulfates. Sulfates are basically what makes products foamy in water, therefore found in the majority of shampoos and many face washes. You want to look out for 'sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate' in the ingredients list- and stay away! Sulfates are a detergent derived from sulphuric acid and basically strip your hair and skin of natural moisture. These are especially bad if you wash your hair every day. Have you ever noticed that the more you was your hair the quicker it gets greasy? Sulfates are the culprit. The more you strip your scalp of natural oils the quicker it will produce more.
Thankfully, plenty of sulfate free products exist. Gel washes for the face, mentioned in my everyday skin care routin post, are usually sulfate free. L'oreal have launched a range of sulfate free shampoos which are currently on offer at Superdrug and Sainsburys - hurrah! It's called the 'EverPure' range (pictured below) and are going for about a fiver with lots of different ones for different hair types. Not much more expensive and it makes such a difference to your hair. I promise.
The shampoo and conditioner range in the Bodyshop is also sulfate-free and they have lots of exciting flavours like strawberry and coconut.
Most normal conditioners do not contain sulfates (conditioners do not really lather in your hair) but check the ingredients list anyway. That way you can spend a bit more on your shampoo and save on the conditioner. Brill.
