Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, TEA Laureth Sulfate, TEA Lauryl Sulfate, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

You should limit the use of these products to once a month for clarifying only. This will cleanse the hair allowing it to better accept the protein and moisturizing products. Clarifying shampoos are created to remove all buildup that occurs over a period of time, thanks to the use of styling products. These shampoos strip all natural oils from the hair and leave hair brittle and broken when used over an extended phase. Clarifying your hair once a week is just fine, but make sure to follow up the process with a strong conditioner to replace the moisture you have removed.

While many chemicals wreak havoc on the hair, others are safe to use on a daily basis. Items that can be used daily in a safe manner are Polyoxethylene Fatty Alcohols, PEG 80, Sorbitan Laurate, Decyl Polyglucose, Cocamidoprpyl Betaine, Sodium Myreth Sulfate, and Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

These treatments will rest on the outside of the hair and therefore will require the hair to be wet or freshly washed in order to assure absorption into the hair.

You can achieve longer and more beautiful hair by increasing your growth phase. You can naturally increase this phase by adding MSM rich foods into your diet. Multi-vitamins and minerals can also have a good effect on the condition of the hair. A healthy body will grow healthier hair. On the same subject, keeping your body lubricated will keep hair moisturized. The water intake of the body will be reflected in the hair. The less water the body has to use, the less the hair will have and will thus appear dry, cracked, and develop split ends.

Having the healthiest hair simply means treating your hair with kind gloves. Brushing lightly will help to eliminate forced breakage, and allowing the hair’s natural oils to remain on the hair for days at a time. Your hair is a direct reflection of your health. The healthier, you are the healthier your hair will be!
