Regular Member salami Posted June 23, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2011 maxxmill17, By SLS, I believe you are referring to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. This site seems to suggest what you are talking about: Shampoo Causes Hair Loss -- The Effects of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). Obviously, since it's on the internet, it must be true. Personally, I use this SLS free shampoo. It doesn't exactly foam up as well as SLS shampoos, but it has a nice all natural ingredient list.

Regular Member SkinUpPinUp Posted June 23, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Sodium Lauryl and Laureth Sulfate - whilst I wouldn't state unequivocally that it is bad for hair, it can be an irritant to the skin - in this case your scalp. There's also ongoing research as to whether they are also potential carcinogens. There are also other ingredients like parabens, disodium EDTA, and sodium hydroxide that are commonly found in shampoos, conditioners and skin products. All of which can cause issues in some people. I'm not suggesting that you go out of your way to avoid them if you're not experiencing any ill effects. I, however, have made the decision to look for gentle hair care and skin products as I also suffer from psoriasis. Up to you entirely. There plenty of options if you're prepared to go out of your way. In the UK, for example, there is a brand called Dr Organics that avoid any harsh chemicals including parabens and SLS.

Regular Member maxxmill17 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2011 or even wholefoods parabens and SLS free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member salami Posted June 23, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2011 You should be able to find several shampoos at WholeFoods that are SLS and paraben free. Look for brands such as Aubrey Organics, Avalon Organics, Jason, and Burt's Bees. Wallgreens may carry some as well, particularly Burt's Bees (as I have seen their products in the larger pharmacy chains). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
