This is the case. Originally as a boy, it is not very concerned about the efficacy of shampoo. Before I used a bottle of silicone-free shampoo in my home, I thought I couldn’t use the silicone oil shampoo. Is it still using silicone-free oil?


What is the difference between silicone-free oil and silicone-containing shampoo? At this time, the inexplicable curiosity was born again. Many people are passing shampoos containing silicone oil that can clog pores and cause hair loss, at least I don't believe it.

Why does shampoo contain silicon?


Research questions should be traced back to the source. It is said that no silicone oil shampoo is good, so why did the previous shampoo contain silicon?


In fact, silicone oil in shampoo is also effective. Silicone oil, silicone oil, as its name suggests it has a lubricating effect. Silicone oil is mainly used to fill the gaps in the hair scales, making the hair look smoother and also reducing the friction between the hair, so silicone oil is also protecting your hair.

In other words, a shampoo that is comfortable to wash is not likely to contain a lubricant like silicone oil. The key is whether the lubricant is used in silicon or whether dimethicone is used.


Pick up the shampoo from your home and look at the ingredients on the bottle. If it contains the words "dimethylsilane", it means that the shampoo is a product containing silicone oil. Polydimethylsiloxane is the most common lubricant, not just shampoo, but many skin care products also contain it.


Before the advent of polydimethylsiloxane, humans used animal fats or vegetable oils instead of them as lubricants. Therefore, silicone oil is not an accessory or residue in the shampoo production process. It is a cleansing and protective component like the surfactant in shampoo.


Is silicone oil really harmful to humans?


Nonsense!


I consulted a friend who was studying chemical industry and a graduate student at East China University of Science and Technology. He told me very clearly that polydimethylsiloxane is not poisonous, but this stuff is relatively small and will stick to people. I did not tell him that this is a question about shampoo, so there is no preconceived idea.


Humans have been using polydimethylsiloxane for more than 50 years, and 90% of your life experience is using silicone oil shampoos and care products, and there have never been any problems. Polydimethylsiloxane is chemically stable and safe, making it an ideal lubricant to rely on.

Of course, it does accumulate on the hair. After a long time, the hair will look collapsed and not fluffy, but it is definitely not enough to clog the pores. As a result, some of the silicone oil will be washed away during the washing process. In addition, the content of silicone oil in shampoo is not high. The most water shampoo ingredient is water, then the surfactant. Silicone oil is usually placed in the second or third row of the ingredient list.


Therefore, there is no need to panic about silicone oil. We are still using shampoos containing silicone oil on a large scale, and we haven't seen any complaints before you. If there is a discovery, it must be your own physical problems.


What are the benefits of silicone-free oil?


Seeing here you should understand that shampoo is definitely a lubricant, the only difference is whether or not you use polydimethylsiloxane. Polydimethylsiloxane has been used as a lubricant for many years and is not without substitutes. For example, vegetable oil or cetyl alcohol can be used as a natural ingredient. However, whether its chemical properties are stable and whether it causes other skin problems remains to be discussed.


The difference in efficacy between silicone-free and silicone-containing oils is that the hair looks lighter and more three-dimensional without the adhesion of silicone oil. Other than that, there seems to be no substantial benefit worth mentioning. If so, please let me know.


So what do we need without silicone oil shampoo?


Let us first review what happens with shampoo containing silicone oil. Attached to the hair, filling the gaps of the scales to make it smoother. After a long period of use, the hair will look more collapsed and the hair will look oily.


So use a silicone-free shampoo? It can clean the silicone oil left on the hair to make it more fluffy, but whether the substitute of silicone oil such as vegetable oil and cetyl alcohol has better lubricating properties than silicone oil, it is still a question mark.


So you can conclude that if you don't want your hair to look collapsed and oily, and your hair is shorter, silicone-free shampoo may be a better choice.


If your hair is long and the hair itself is damaged, the silicone-free shampoo will not have any blessing effect, but it will have a negative effect. After all, silicone oil is still good for damaged hair.

No shampoo is for everyone, all we can do is pick a shampoo that suits your hair. The so-called silicone-free shampoo and silicone-containing shampoo, but meet the needs of different groups of people, there is no real difference.


Said so many shit, in the end to buy or not to buy? It is good for the civilians to buy their own cheap goods that are pleasing to the eye. Anyway, those messy shampoos can't feel the difference in my head. As for those who love beauty, please buy expensive ones. It is not wrong to pay for the price.


To tell the truth, the current silicone-free shampoo is also very cheap. The last 70 yuan is less than two barrels of 750ml + three bottles of 100ml, which shows that this thing has no cost. Bargains also want good results, manufacturers are not so stupid.
