Welcome to the Guide for Silicones & Sulfates
Silicones and sulfates have been demonized heavily over the
past few decades for their drying effects on the hair. However, the negative effects of these ingredients often have little to do with the ingredient itself, and more to do with how we misuse them.
Imagine you bought a new pair of high-heeled shoes. They look great and they even feel comfortable. So now you decide to wear them out to meet a friend. Unexpectedly, your friend decides she wants to go for a jog. You tell yourself it'll be fine because these shoes are great and comfortable. So you go for that jog and
you come home with a sprained ankle. In this scenario, does this incident mean that your comfortable high-heels are a bad pair of shoes? Or did you just use them for the wrong purpose?
This guide is designed to help you understand the different uses for silicones and sulfates so you can harness all of the wonderful benefits they offer while reducing the risks that come from their misuse.
