The hair of today's youth is very precious. After the 90's, the punk's persistence in hair care and prevention was unprecedented.


Any shampoo on the market advertised as "anti-shedding" will be sold very tightly. On the contrary, the charge of "causing hair loss" will be lost forever.


For example, "silicone oil", in the past year or two, no matter it is a TV commercial or an internet celebrity sharing, they have been trying hard to promote the concept that the silicone oil added in traditional shampoo can block pores and cause hair loss.




For a while, silicone oil-free shampoos sold in supermarkets, and of course the price was much more expensive than silicone oil-containing shampoos. But is silicone oil so "bad"? Is silicone-free oil really "better"? Is the extra money "more valuable"?


Is silicone oil related to hair loss?


No!


If you go to the ingredients list of the shampoo, you can't see the word silicone oil. Polydimethylsiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane alcohol, and ammonia-terminated polydimethylsiloxane are its real names.


Silicone oil is a macromolecular substance that will not be absorbed by hair follicles, is harmless to the human body, and has low manufacturing costs. The content added in the shampoo is not high, and the scalp residue is very small after shampooing.




The culprit of hair loss may be androgens and heredity, it may also be irregular life, stay up late, mental stress, malnutrition, or postpartum hair loss ...


But no silicone oil causes this type of hair loss. What's more, oily scalp is not the cause of hair loss!


The so-called oil that clogs pores and causes hair loss is really an unnecessary crime.


Silicone and silicone-free, who is better?


Because the surface layer of hair is hair scales, clean hair will be frizzy under normal circumstances. Impossible, thank you for not knotting. Silicone oil as a softener in shampoo can be evenly distributed on the surface of the hair, grasp the scales, fill the surface unevenness, make the hair smooth and supple, and reduce the friction damage of the scales during shampooing. It has been the perfect conditioner for shampoos for a long time.




Today, "silicone-free oil" has emerged. Is there a better choice for softeners?


Silicone-free shampoos need to add other softeners to replace the silicone oil. However, the softening effect is not comparable to silicone oils. Hair will be dry after washing. Therefore, some people have proposed the concept of "fluffy feeling". The fluffy feeling can also be regarded as an advantage, after all, it will appear more hair.


However, the fluffy and dry hair is a walking electrostatic emitter in autumn and winter.


So you need to buy extra, conditioner, hair mask and other products to make the hair soft, of course, the extra money is not the most pitfall, the most pitfall is that the conditioner, hair mask often contains silicone oil.


Silicone oil vs. no silicone oil, how to choose?


Hair is greasy and soft. Selecting silicone-free oil is more fluffy and fresh.


Silicone oil shampoo may be more suitable for smooth long hair, or dry hair that is prone to static electricity and perm damage.


Therefore, what is suitable is the best.
