Products To Avoid
Warning: This Kills Curls
- Silicone: Silicone is often used to manufacture plastics, rubber and polishes. Its purpose is to repel water, which is the main thing your hair needs to remain healthy.
- Anything containing sulfates: Sodium lauryl sufate, ammonium laureth sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate are harsh detergents. Using this stuff is like running your head through a car wash that uses acid. Don't do it.
- Alcohol: If you want your hair to be dry and brittle or sound like cereal flakes then this is the stuff to get your there. Typically found in gels, this stuff stays around. It will causes dryness and major frizz. Again, these chemicals don't play nice with water.
- Parabens: Try to avoid products with methylparaben, butylparaben or propylparaben. Some have suggested that their could be health risks.
