What are Sulphate Free Shampoos and conditioners

Sulphates provide the foamy texture that occurs when a person mixes a product, such as a shampoo, with water.
Some people have concerns about the inclusion of sulphates in their shampoos. When people use them correctly in normal quantities, sulphates are generally safe.
However, some people may be more sensitive to specific products, and there are times when a person should avoid sulphates.

Sulphates are types of chemicals called surfactants that play an important role in the effectiveness of shampoos. Surfactants lower the surface tension of the liquid they are in, which makes the liquid easier to mix with water and work up into a good foam.
One downside is that sulphates may be too effective at cleaning. Sulphates help a shampoo to strip oil and dirt away from the hair. However, the hair needs to retain a bit of its natural moisture and oils to stay healthy.

Sulphates may strip away too much moisture, leaving the hair dry and unhealthy. They may also make the scalp dry and prone to irritation.
For the most part, the effects of sulphates are mild, and many people benefit from the effectiveness of shampoos that contain them. People with greasy hair or dandruff may notice that shampoos containing sulphates are the only products that clean their hair effectively.

People with sensitive skin and hair who experience side effects from using sulphate shampoos may want to try a sulphate-free product to see whether their symptoms persist or clear up.
While there is a variety of sulphate-free shampoos available, it is important to note that many of these products still contain chemical compounds that are similar to sulphates.
People with particularly sensitive skin and hair should look for the most natural, truly sulphate-free like Natur Vital Organic Salon range of shampoos and conditioners.

Sulphate-free shampoos may feel different at first

They will likely take longer to create suds, and people may have to use more of the shampoo to clean their hair thoroughly. A person may also have to use extra water to rinse these shampoos from the hair.
However, sulphate-free shampoos will generally clean the hair just as effectively as those that contain sulphates.
People with dyed or kinky hair should strongly consider ditching sulphates because they are strong cleansers. “Using sulphates on colour-treated hair can be too strong and will likely strip the colour, I gave up sulphates years ago, and my colour lasts much longer.
