Organic silica gel products can be said to be all-encompassing in various industries. It is not only used as a raw material for silica gel products, but also in daily life shampoos. Silicone raw materials are chemical products, which can function. What effect can be obtained in the shampoo, the most important thing is whether the silicone oil shampoo is harmful to your hair?






Regarding shampoos, there are rumors on the market that shampoos containing silicone oil can cause hair loss, hair loss, and itchy scalp. In reality, when people visit the supermarket, they will see that the shampoo is made of silicone oil and silicone oil. In terms of quantity, there are more shampoos containing silicone oil than products containing no silicone oil. It would be unscientific if most shampoos in the supermarket would damage the hair. In fact, there is no positive correlation between silicone oil and hair health. The key is whether the shampoo is suitable for the user's hair.


Silicone oil makes hair smooth


The "silicon" contained in the shampoo is not a simple substance of silicon, but a dimethicone (Dime-thicone). This substance is a blocking agent that acts primarily to smooth hair. Silicone oil has been used in personal care products since the 1950s; it has been used in shampoos and hair care products since the 1970s.








Silicone oil is viscous and malleable and has a moisturizing and supple effect on the hair. The hair grows from the hair follicles in the scalp. The main ingredient is keratin, and there are many uneven scales on each hair. When the scales are damaged, they will lift up, which will increase the friction between the hairs, causing the hair to entangle, and more friction will increase the damage of the scales. When washing your hair, the silicone oil in the shampoo adheres to the gaps in the scales, filling the surface of the hair and making the hair feel smooth. Especially for hair that is often hot-dyed and damaged by hair scales, the effect is more obvious. Because silicone oil works by sticking to the hair, filling the damaged and open scales.








Silicone oil is also sealed, and the protective layer is formed to keep the moisture content in the hair stable. Compared with hair that uses shampoo alone, hair with conditioner has reduced water loss under low humidity conditions, and under high humidity conditions. It can prevent excessive moisture absorption. If the hair is too wet or too dry, it will cause difficulty in combing and hair style changes.


In long-term life, people often find that hair is often dry and rancid, and oil can solve this problem. Therefore, people use animal and vegetable oils to make hair lubrication, which reduces hair damage during combing. However, there have been problems such as the hair is always oily and easily contaminated with dust. The application of silicone oil has solved these problems.








Silicone oil does not affect hair health


Some consumers have questioned that silicone oil shampoo will remain on the scalp and clog pores, causing folliculitis and hair loss. In fact, these concerns are completely unnecessary.


First, the possibility that silicone oil remains on the scalp to clog pores is low. Silicone oil is a macromolecular substance that is not absorbed by hair follicles, and the shampoo contains little silicone oil, which is less than 1%. Under the action of a cleaning anionic surfactant, it will not remain after washing with a large amount of water. On the head.


Second, silicone oil is safe for use in cosmetics. A large number of studies in the European Union and the United States have shown that their safety under cosmetic use conditions is reliable. The Cosmetics Ingredients Assessment (US CIR) panel of experts believes that silicone oil is not irritating to the skin. Although it forms a hydrophobic membrane on the skin, it is also breathable.


When using a hair care product containing a lot of silicone oil, such as hair conditioner and hair mask, as long as it is applied to the end of the hair far away from the scalp, it can save the amount; secondly, the hair scale of the hair root is less damaged, basically No need to care; if it is rubbed in the hair roots, it will not only be greasy but also cause the hair to sink and collapse.




For the use of silicone oil shampoo to cause hair loss, it is even more silicone oil. Most people with hair loss have very oily hair. This is just an indication. In fact, the cause of oil and hair loss in the scalp is also related to the action of androgen. In short, hair loss has the greatest relationship with hormones and psychological stress and life stress. Topical silicone oil is not the root cause. Moreover, hair has a natural growth - rest - shedding cycle, it is normal for hair to "retire from the post" every day.
