Low Sulfate Shampoo

A client of mine asked me 2day why low sulfate shampoo is good for your hair first you gotta know what sulfates are and what they do this is what I found: Sulfates are used in many shampoos to produce a lathering affect and clean the hair. However, if your hair is damaged, dry, or chemically treated, these sulfates can cause breakage and hair loss. The reason is because harsh sulfates actually strip the hair, leading to dryness. Dryness leads to decreased elasticity and breakage. One common sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, is known to cause eye irritations, skin rashes, hair loss, scalp scurf similar to dandruff, and allergic reactions. However, you will probably find it on the ingredient list of most of your shampoos.
Sulfate free or low sulfate shampoo still cleans your hair. So the first step to keep the moisture in your hair low or no sulfate shampoo. Tresemme has a shampoo I love feel free to ask about other shampoos.
