A few days ago, I stayed with my friends to go to the supermarket. My friend said she wanted to buy a shampoo. This shampoo, she has also done homework in advance, to ensure that affordable, easy to use, the key is very suitable for her hair. My friend went to the shelf where the shampoo was placed, and was preparing to search for it. At this time, the shopping guide came, and I warmly recommended the shampoo that I was doing activities to my friends. I also said that this shampoo is easy to use because it is silicone-free. Will not clog the pores, the hair will fall a little less... The friend listened to a "thank you" and then stopped responding. After that, my friend told me that the current shopping guide is really a common sense. Silicone oil clogs pores is really a joke, but I have done homework, and her rhetoric can't help me. My friend explained to me why she didn't believe that silicone shampoo would clog pores, and the difference between silicone-free shampoo and silicone oil shampoo:




Silicone oil does not clog pores


If you have had experience in buying shampoo at the supermarket, you may hear something like this: "The shampoo contains silicone oil that can clog pores." Especially when you hear this sentence from the mouth of the shopping guide, you may feel very professional and very reasonable. And the word "silicone oil", when read out, makes people feel sticky and greasy, and it is very uncomfortable to attach to the skin. Of course, this is mainly due to the subjective imagination of people. In fact, there is a big gap between silicone oil and human imagination. High quality silicone oil is "inert", it is not hydrophilic, and it is not lipophilic, let alone it will adhere to the skin and affect the health of the skin. Therefore, even if a shampoo containing silicone oil is used, it does not directly act on the scalp to clog the pores. Shampoo contains no silicone oil and does not damage the scalp. Therefore, if a shampoo is thought to damage the scalp because it contains silicone oil, it is too unreasonable.




The difference between silicone-free shampoo and silicone oil shampoo


According to Yang Jianzhong, chief formulator of the Procter & Gamble Asia Hair Care Research Center, from the current results of shampoo testing, many silicone-free shampoos on the market are about 30% more clean than shampoos containing silicone oil. It is not surprising that many users who use silicone-free oil report that after using a silicone-free shampoo, the hair is dry and knotted. Because the cleaning ability of silicone-free oil is generally higher.
