Foam=Frizz

Sulfates.  The part of detergents that causes it to bubble and foam.  It's in every dish washing detergent, laundry detergent and SHAMPOO.  When you are washing dishes and you pour the soap on the sponge, it foams up.  It also never completely washes out.  When you wash your hair with shampoos that contain sulfates, no matter how much you rinse, it stays in your hair and in our water.  You can get sulfate free shampoos that will still clean your hair without the foaming effects of sulfates.

Sulfates strip your hair.  They cause your hair to be frizzy, dull and lifeless.  Using shampoos that contain sulfates strip your hair of the natural oils that moisturizes your hair, therefore causing severe damage and split ends.  Meaning more money spent on frequent hair trims.  Sulfates are bad for the planet, bad for your hair and bad for your pocket book.

When you watch the commercials that advertise hair products.  You see this beautiful woman in the shower scrubbing her hair with a very foamy shampoo and moments later she appears with gorgeous, bouncy curls or sleek, smooth straight hair.  Smiling and confidently proclaiming the name of the product that produced those locks.

What the commercials don't show you is the hours that the model had to endure as the onset stylist washed, blow dried straightened and curled her hair and then applied numerous different products to smooth down the frizzes and fly-aways.  Frizz is what happens when your hair has been stripped down of moisture.  Your hair is reaching out to the environment for moisture.  Your hair is like a plant.  Flowers follow the sun as it moves across the sky for its nutrients.  Your hair responds the same way to water.  That is why your hair frizzes up when it rains.  It is dehydrated to the MAX and is reaching out to the h2o to replenish itself.

Sulfates poison our environment.  Would you ever think about pouring your detergents/shampoos on your plants?  Sulfates contain Sodium, which is salt.  If you're thirsty, you wouldn't drink salt water.  Would you ever drink water that you just poured detergent in?  Of course not.  Please do your part in taking care of our planet and use sulfate free shampoo.  I use the Deva line.  Their products cleanse and hydrate VERY well without the harmful effects of sulfates.

The planet thanks you and so does your hair!
