What are the hazards of silicone oil shampoo

Many shampoo advertisements use the slogans of "silicone-free" and "non-irritating". That is to say, if silicone is in shampoo, it will have certain side effects on hair quality. The most obvious side effect is that it can easily lead to hair loss. Of course, this side effect is relatively not particularly obvious. As for the issue of shampoo, you cannot use the same brand for a long time. You should change it frequently and maintain your hair quality on a regular basis.

Does silicone oil really cause hair loss?

With the accelerated pace of life and changes in the environment, more and more people are experiencing hair loss, and shampoos containing silicone oil seem to have become one of the culprits of hair loss. But in fact, the reasons for hair loss in most people are different. The common causes of hair loss are excessive mental stress, sub-health and family inheritance.

Although many people suffer from seborrheic alopecia, there is no causal relationship between excess oil and hair loss. In other words, seborrheic alopecia has nothing to do with the use of silicone shampoo.

In addition, experts recommend not to use the same shampoo for a long time. Although it is collectively called silicone oil, there are many types of silicone oil, and different brands of shampoo contain different silicone oils. If you only use the same shampoo for a long time, the same silicone oil will accumulate in your hair and your hair will become oilier the more you wash it, and the problem will become more serious with each wash.

When using different shampoos, one silicone oil can wash away part of another silicone oil, and then new silicone oil will be deposited on it, which will not cause too much deposition of the same silicone oil. So change shampoo of the same brand at least every 3 months.

Suitable people for silicone-free shampoo

Shampoo containing silicone oil can indeed make hair smooth and shiny, but the weight of the silicone after it attaches to the hair will make the hair heavier, so that the overall hairstyle will lose its fluffiness and become flat. Therefore, it is best to choose some silicone-free shampoo and conditioner products for fine and sparse hair to avoid difficulty in subsequent styling.

In addition, if you want to achieve a deeper cleansing effect for oily hair and avoid keratin plugs on the scalp, it is also recommended to use a shampoo that does not contain silicone.

The correct way to use hair care

If your hair is healthy, your scalp environment is stable, and you pursue a smooth texture of hair, then when washing your hair, you can choose shampoo products and hair masks according to your preferences to deeply care for your hair; but if your hair is fine and soft, or your scalp is prone to oiliness, you should avoid using conventional hair care products as much as possible. When you need smooth hair, you may wish to choose a silicone-free shampoo product and a silicone hair care product in combination. This can not only make the hair soft and shiny, but also avoid problems such as flat hair style or increased oiliness.
