Using a cleanser with unsavoury ingredients can be as bad for your hair as using bad shampoo, but Cantu Sulfate-free Cleansing Cream Shampoo is a step in the right direction. It contains olive oil and shea butter and is one of the few that is completely soy-free.
The shampoo is a major contributor to dry and damaged hair. It leaves our hair feeling shiny and soft, but because it does not remove the build-up of grease and oils that have been sitting on our hair for years, our hair dries out. Using the wrong shampoo can lead to the dreaded 'dried out' look, and the reasons for this are far-ranging.
The first reason is that many shampoos contain harsh chemicals like sodium Laureth sulphate, ammonium Laureth sulphate or ammonium lauryl sulphate, which strip the hair of its natural oils. This is a big problem, as you need to have your hair oiled to help your scalp absorb the necessary vitamins and minerals your hair needs to stay healthy. The other problem is that they often strip away the shine of your hair, leaving behind that dull and lifeless look.
Using a shampoo that has harsh chemicals can also leave your hair feeling parched and thirsty, which is why it is best to get an oil cleansing shampoo. Such shampoos contain special ingredients that will help restore your hair's natural oils. The last thing you want is to have your hair dry and thirsty, so a natural oil shampoo is best.
Unlike some shampoos that use lemon or cocoa butter as a degreasing agent, this shampoo contains only shea butter. Shea butter has moisturizing properties that leave your hair feeling soft and shiny.
The Cantu Sulfate-free Cleansing Cream Shampoo is a great choice for your health and well being, as it is completely soy-free and very gentle on your hair. It even has the added benefit of being hypoallergenic, which means that your family will love it too.
It also contains a mild fragrance, such as a bath oil. This fragrance is not overpowering and blends easily into your natural sebum. This is the natural oil from your hair needs to stay healthy.
The shampoo also has palm and coconut oil that helps to balance the pH levels of your hair. When your hair is excessively alkaline, it can cause your scalp to become dry and itchy. When it is overly acidic, it can result in dandruff, split ends and excessive dryness.
It has a light, creamy texture that will glide through your hair without making it feel stiff. It is easily detangled and can be washed at a rate of once a week, which is much less than most shampoos.
This shampoo does not use harsh chemicals, fragrances or other harsh additives that can make your hair parched and thirsty. This will leave your hair feeling soft and silky, yet still retaining the moisture and shine that your hair has come to expect. Also, it does not contain any fragrance oils, which some other shampoo makers include.
Calendula is an ingredient used in many shampoos, but it is also a natural ingredient that can help your hair. It is a natural healer and softens the hair to give it a silky sheen. While the shampoo is healthy, it is also gentle enough to use on your hair.
The Cantu Sulfate-free Cleansing Cream Shampoo is a wonderful alternative to harsh shampoo. It is hypoallergenic, contains coconut oil and calendula, and will leave your hair feeling soft and shiny.
