The formula for great hair isn't the same for everyone, but it exists!
At Botánicapharma, we choose a conscious care method that enhances the natural beauty of hair and the well-being of the scalp.
If you're reading this, you're probably looking to switch to a more natural hair care routine, and you're probably also feeling overwhelmed by so many words that you don't quite know what they mean or what they do (or don't do) for your hair.
You've heard a thousand times about sulfates, silicones, parabens, scalp care, and hair washing methods, and at this point, you're already at a loss for what you need. We'll explain in an easy-to-understand way what's what so you can make the right decision without fear of making a mistake.
SULFATES →
They are responsible for deep cleansing the scalp and forming the lather that many people enjoy during washing, which helps disperse and eliminate residue, as well as dirt and sebum from the scalp. By deep cleansing the scalp, They take with them the natural oils present in the hair so that it looks healthy and hydrated.
There are studies that suggest that they may have negative effects:
✺ They can be irritating to the scalp and skin, especially for those with sensitive skin or conditions such as dermatitis or eczema.
✺ They strip hair of its natural oils, which can cause hair to become dry, brittle, or rough.
In no case is a shampoo with sulfates toxic or harmful., simply They are not recommended for all hair types.
PARABENS →
Are a type of chemical preservative, which are added to cosmetics to prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms and which in some cases can cause allergic reactions on the skin or scalp.
Some studies suggest they may act as endocrine disruptors, and there has been concern that they may limit the action of estrogens in the body. Although there are no conclusive studies on this, some people prefer to avoid their use.
SILICONES →
They are chemical compounds that create a layer on the hair, giving it a soft and shiny appearance—we could say they're the equivalent of makeup. Over time, this layer builds up, causing a dull, heavy appearance. By using a silicone-free shampoo:
✺ Allows hair to breathe and stay cleaner.
✺ You create a clean canvas for additional products to be absorbed and act more effectively.
