Why are sulfates bad for your hair

The Gift Labelshampoo and conditioner are free of harmful substances. For example, the products are free of sulfates, parabens, and silicones. But why are sulfates bad for your hair? Generally, sulfates are added to hair care products to degrease and cleanse. However, these products can quickly become too harsh on your hair, causing them to dissolve the natural oil layer. Removing this oil layer can dry out and irritate your scalp. If you already havesensitive skin , it's especially important to eliminate sulfates from your hair care routine. The most harmful ones are Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS) and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). Moreover, sulfates are also incredibly bad for the environment.

Using natural shampoo and conditioner

Before you start using theshampoo , it's good to know that it will foam less than usual. This isn't a problem. Foam in shampoo is caused by sulfates, which damage your hair's natural oil layer.

Our shampoo pumps ensure you use just the right amount to cleanse and condition your hair. Yes, this amount is truly all you need! Use 3 to 4 pumps of conditioner for normal hair. For long and thick hair, you can easily use more. While you apply the shampoo to the roots, it's best to apply the conditioner only to the ends. The scalp produces its own oils and therefore doesn't need this extra care. When you first start using hair products, your hair needs to get used to them. It may feel a bit dry at first. This will quickly subside, and after a few weeks, your hair won't want anything else!

Last but not least: don't wash your hair too often. Two to three times a week is enough. This helps restore your hair's natural oil layer.

Keep on giving!

With love,
