How is shampoo and conditioner made?

Some people may combine shampooing with hair conditioner. Shampoo is usually made by mixing a surfactant (most often sodium lauryl or sodium laureth) with a cosurfactant (most often cocamidopropylbetaine in water).



What are the bad ingredients in shampoos and conditioners?

12 harmful ingredients to avoid in shampoos and conditioners:

  • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate/Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS)
  • Fragrance (Synthetic perfumes). Fragrance of any type is not good.
  • Cocamidopropyl Betaine.
  • Triclosan.
  • Polysorbates.
  • Polyethylene Glycol (PEG).
  • Potassium Sorbate.
  • Phenoxyethanol.

The next question is: Can Dawn be used to wash my hair? Dawn Dish Soap can be used on your hair. However, it will strip the oils from your natural hair. These oils are essential for hair development. It should be used as a clarifying shampoo and not as a regular shampoo.

This is how to choose a shampoo that's good for you.

Fine hair: Thinner hair tends get oilier quickly. Avoid using creamy shampoos and opt for clear formulas. Gentle, volumizing daily shampoos can be your best choice. Frizzy hair: If your hair is constantly frizzy and flaky, the conditioner is the best choice.
