A sulfate free shampoo implies that the product is free of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). It is a cleansing and lathering agent that is used in a range of products such as floor cleaners, car wash solutions and shampoos. People generally assume that a product that foams well, has better cleansing properties. However, the fact is, all that foam may be the result of SLS that has lower cleansing capabilities than many other products. Therefore, never judge a hair product by the foam it produces.
Using SLS free shampoo is a great idea for a number of reasons. It helps prevent potential damage to your hair or irritation to your scalp. If you have color treated hair, using a shampoo free of sulfates, ensures that your hair color stays unaffected and vibrant.
For instance, the revitalizing shampoo in the Keranique range is free from SLS and thus, perfect for all hair types. The antioxidant-rich shampoo soothes and nourishes the hair and scalp. Get Keranique and watch how it controls frizz and improves the smoothness and luster of hair. The hydrolyzed keratin in this shampoo forms a shield along the cuticles of the hair and safeguards it from UV damage.
