PAY ATTENTION TO THIS INGREDIENT IN HAIR CARE! IT LEADS TO CANCER

There is something very satisfying about washing your hair: gentle scalp massage, pleasant smell and the clean feeling that comes after. After a little conditioner, hairspray and mousse, you are ready to face the world! So are the products you use during all these routines really good for you? Turkey Medicals, “here are the harmful ingredients we encounter in hair care.”

When shopping for hair products, it is best to avoid those products that contain parabens, sulfates and phthalates.

Because these harmful chemicals can damage the hair or, in some cases, lead to the risk of developing serious diseases.

.
SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE

  • SLS this compound is used to create that cleansing feeling that we expect from shampoo by providing foaming in shampoo and similar products.
    .
  • But along with this, SLS deprives the scalp of its natural sebum, resulting in the appearance of electrified, brittle and damaged hair.

.
PARABENS

You may have heard this before: Stay away from parabens!

  • Parabens have been linked to breast cancer, although they have been successful in preventing bacterial growth in cosmetic products.
    .
  • Currently, many brands offer products that do not contain parabens, and this is a big step forward.
    .
  • However, if the label says otherwise, you should assume that the product contains parabens.

.
FORMALDEHYDE

  • Formaldehyde is an unknown carcinogen, although it is used in everything from shampoo and hair gel to nail polish.
    .
  • The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning against hair smoothing products that release this substance when heat is applied to the hair.
    .
  • In this warning, the FDA advised consumers to pay attention to whether formaldehyde, formalin and methylene glycol are on the ingredient list when purchasing cosmetics.

.
DIMETHICONE

  • The promise of healthy-looking hair has put many of us on the dangerous path full of silicone-based hair products.
    .
  • Dimethicone is a silicone commonly found in hair gel, hair softeners, hair dye, or conditioner. It is generally considered harmless.
    .
  • But this silicone creates a coating on the hair, making the hair look shiny, while effectively preventing moisture and nutrients from getting inside.
    .
  • This, in turn, makes the hair heavier and lifeless.
