I don't know when the chemical name of silicone oil has been turned over, and then all kinds of scary sayings are endless. This shampoo product additive, which has been used for decades, has become the chief culprit in the scalp oil, hair loss and dandruff. In fact, everyone has been misled.




Silicone oil is mainly used in the shampoo to lubricate and increase the gloss. An alternative to traditional shampoos, it is a conditioner that performs both shampooing and hair care in shampooing. The shampoo containing silicone oil is called 2-in-1 and has been popular since the late 1980s. It has become a daily necessities for shampoo. Because of the simple operation and smooth hair after washing, it has become everyone's favorite shampoo.




This shampoo, which is used all over the world, is blacked overnight and it is extremely irresponsible to blame all kinds of scalp problems on shampoos containing silicone oil. This kind of statement should be related to the rise of micro-business, some exaggerated promotion and publicity, with the hype of some shampoo merchants, through the rapid and rapid fermentation of the network, the traditional single-wash single-care products you fry again Fire, these businesses earned a pot full. The two-in-one shampoo containing silicone oil was completely tarnished.


First point: Is the shampoo containing silicone oil really useless?


Let's just say that shampoos containing silicone oil are widely used all over the world. If it is really nothing, it should have been left unattended, but the opposite is true. Many international brands of shampoos are shampoos containing silicone oil. From this point, it can be seen that silicone shampoo is not as uncomfortable as some people have rumored, so many side effects.




The adhesion of silicone oil is relatively strong. At the same time as shampooing, a film is wrapped on the surface of the hair to increase the lubricity and gloss of the hair. Some people think that the shampoo containing silicone oil is not easy to clean on the scalp, and it is easy to clog the pores, resulting in increased head oil or even hair loss. In fact, this is not the case. When washing after shampooing, it is easy to wash off the silicone oil sticking to the skin, because the silicone oil in the shampoo is very low. Only the high concentration of silicone oil is not easy to clean. .




We can do an experiment, apply two-in-one silicone oil shampoo to your hands, rinse it with warm water, and you will find it easy to wash off. There is no greasy feeling on your skin. This shows that the silicone oil in the shampoo is very easy to wash off. But sticking to the hair to the silicone oil is not easy to clean, because the surface of the hair is a layer of scaly material and uneven, silicone oil wrapped on the surface of the hair, filling the recessed part, it will be wrapped in the hair surface. This is the real role of silicone oil.




If the rinse is not clean, the silicone oil-containing ingredients may adhere to the skin surface. It is possible to clog the pores and cause discomfort in the scalp. This bad shampooing habit may cause some dysfunction of the scalp and increase the head oil or even hair loss in the long run. Or the use of shampoos that exceed the standard and inferior silicone oil products may also cause various problems of the scalp.


In fact, you only need to choose the qualified shampoo products of regular manufacturers. It is impossible to wash the shampoo sticking to the scalp as much as possible. It is impossible to cause the legendary side effects on your scalp.


Second point: Is shampoo without silicone oil better than shampoo containing silicone oil?


From the point of view of professional hairdressing, it is certain to choose a single-washing and shampoo-free shampoo product. Because in the process of perming and dyeing hair, the use of shampoo containing silicone oil will affect the quality of perm and hair dye more or less, because silicone oil will wrap a film on the surface of the hair, which will affect the normal penetration and absorption of hair. Therefore, professional hairdressers do not use shampoos containing silicone oils.




When washing hair at home, shampoos containing silicone oil are simpler, more convenient, and better. Especially for healthy hair, there is no problem with shampoo containing silicone oil, as long as it is rinsed clean.




If your hair is dry and severely damaged. In this case, it is recommended to use a shampoo that does not contain silicone oil. Because the traditional shampoo has one of the biggest advantages, it can better use the principle of acid-base balance to balance the pH value of the hair, that is, the pH of the hair. This allows damaged and dry hair to excrete impurities and absorb external nutrients. Especially in the shampoo before using the hair mask, it is necessary to use a shampoo that does not contain silicone oil, so that the nutrients in the hair mask can be better absorbed by the hair.




The traditional silicone-free shampoo and conditioner works like this: shampoo contains an anionic surfactant that shampoos the scales and cleans the dirt that sticks to the hair through the foam. After the shampoo, the scales cannot return to the normal state, and a rough feeling will be produced. The conditioner contains a cationic surfactant. It neutralizes the anionic surfactant remaining in the hair to balance the pH of the hair while allowing the loose scales to become tighter. It is also possible to evenly wrap a film on the surface of the hair to increase the lubricity and luster of the hair.




Through the above analysis and understanding, we can see that whether it is shampoo containing silicone oil or shampoo without silicone oil, it is an indispensable shampoo in daily life. Choose the shampoo that suits you based on your personal habits and preferences, or hair quality.


The third point refuses to be misled and washes out healthy hair


Here are some common care questions for you to help you understand your toiletries, scientific care, and make your hair healthier.


1. Does shampoo containing silicone oil cause hair loss?




As we have already said in this question, there is no direct relationship between hair loss and what shampoo you use. Hair loss is caused by the internal causes of the hair follicle atrophy, or the cycle time of hair growth is shortened, hair loss, slow growth, and shortened life cycle are observed. So hair loss has nothing to do with what kind of shampoo you use. Whether you are using a shampoo containing silicone oil or a shampoo that does not contain silicone oil, be sure to rinse as much as possible during shampooing. If there is a dislocation, it is best to consult a hair specialist or some professional hairdressing staff, or you can prevent some hair loss or improve the hair loss by some Chinese medicine conditioning.


2. What is the cause of scalp itching after changing shampoo?


There are two main causes of itchy itch, one is the phenomenon of itching caused by fungal infections, which often has dry dandruff. For example, when wearing dark clothes, there will be dandruff falling down. This is dry dandruff. Dry dandruff is accompanied by some scalp itching.




Another reason is that the scalp is uncomfortable after replacing the shampoo. Because each brand of shampoo contains different ingredients, the pH is slightly different. After replacing the new shampoo, it may cause discomfort in the scalp and dandruff and itching. You can use the shampoo that you have used before, or replace it with a brand of shampoo. The itching of the head is weakened and returns to normal, indicating that this shampoo is not suitable for your scalp.


3. What is the effect of shampooing time on the scalp and hair?


The purpose of washing hair is to wash it, and it has nothing to do with the length of shampooing. Because shampoo is mainly used to wash the scalp, the dirtiest part is the scalp instead of the hair. When the scalp is dirty, the amount of shampoo is large. It is good to wash twice. After washing, the scalp feels comfortable and refreshing.




There is no standard for shampooing time, and short haircuts will be shorter. Long hair is more troublesome, and shampooing may take longer. However, it is not recommended to wash your hair for a long time, because the shampoo is in contact with the scalp for too long, which may cause tightness or other discomfort in the scalp.




The hair is generally not too dirty. When washing your hair, you can wash your hair with excess foam when shampooing. However, after shampooing, the shampoo on the scalp and hair must be washed. If the cleaning is not clean, it may cause uncomfortable scalp, and may cause the hair to become rough and tarnished.


4. Do you have to use conditioner when shampooing?


Shampoo is a shampoo, conditioner is shampoo, in shampoo, everyone must figure this out. Choosing shampoo should be based on your own scalp, rather than following the trend. Because only shampoo for your scalp is the best shampoo. For example, if your scalp is dry, you can choose hydrating shampoo. The oil on the scalp can be selected as oil control shampoo. There is a dandruff shampoo that can be used to remove dandruff. If you have a hair loss, you can choose a shampoo that is resistant to the type of hair removal.




Hair conditioner is mainly used in combination with shampoo. If you are using a shampoo that does not contain silicone oil, you may have dry, knotted, and lack of luster after hair. In this case, you must use conditioner. Use conditioner to balance the pH of your hair. It allows the hair to close tighter and increases gloss and smoothness. When using conditioner, just apply it to the dry part of the hair, preferably not on the hair roots and scalp.


If you are using a two-in-one shampoo containing silicone oil, there is no need to use conditioner.


5, the hair is hot after dyeing, what shampoo is suitable for use?


For dry hair after hot dyeing, it is best to use shampoo and conditioner without silicone oil. In daily shampoo, you only need to use conditioner to moisturize the hair. After rinsing with warm water, follow the normal shampooing process. This washes out the hair better. But shampoo is no better, it can only serve as a simple shampoo and care. It is recommended to adhere to the use of hair mask care in order to get some improvement in hair problems.




All of the above questions are about shampoo. I hold an objective attitude, don't blow it, help everyone to correctly understand the advantages and disadvantages of various shampoos, and share some experience and skills in shampooing. I hope that my views and suggestions will give you a deeper understanding of shampoo, choose a shampoo that is more suitable for your hair, and wash out healthy hair.
