I try and only use products that do not contain SLS or Parabens. I have however found some hair products that are natural and do not conatin these or petro-chemicals. Louise Galvin has some lovely products. The Discovery range and Sacred Locks. You can buy these from her website http://www.louisegalvin.com and you can purchase them from QVC or even Tesco and Waitrose sell Louise Galvin (less expensive range but still very good). The treatments are also very nice. I have been using these products for over a month now and really like them. I even use them on my children and even use Daniel Galvin Junior products. Its nice to know that they do not contain any harsh chemicals.

Thank you so much for this information! Recently, I had cystic rash on the right side of my jawline. I thought it was PMS but, a week or two later I got a pimple on the jawline on the left side of my face! I also just recently broke out on my forehead (near my hairline). I am firmly convinced this has to do with SLS as the shampoo I am using has a high concentration of it. I am going to try a new shampoo and see how it goes!

Just wanted to say that sulfates do have their place, and that SLES and SLS are two different compounds (SLS is harsher, SLES is mildest; ammonium lauryl and laureth sulfates are harsher than the sodium ones, but better in hard water situations).

Only a small number of people actually have an allergic reaction to sulfates. The majority of people who can’t use sulfates are curliheads, because they do take out a bit of the moisture on one’s head. But sulfates, as I said before, have their place–most of us use silicone-based styling products and conditioners, and the sulfates prevent those from building up on our hair and drying it out.

Pretty much any shampoo, expensive or not, has sulfates, unless it specifically says it is a sulfate-free shampoo. And sulfate-free doesn’t automatically mean that it’s gentler than a traditional shampoo.

Hi, I saw your post about sodium lauryl sulpahate and wanted to add to it.
Sodium lauryl sulphate is indeed a foaming agent and is the least expensive in it’s family. There are alternatives. Sodium lauryth sulphate is a milder form of sodium lauryl sulphate. The difference is the size of the molecule. Laurel is smaller and can partially penetrate the hairshaft. Ideally you only want to clean the surface of your hairshaft. Sodium laureth sulphate is a larger molecule therefor will not penetrate as deep. That being said, Sodium Myreth sulphate is an even milder form of cleanser and also more expensive. There are a few times when you would want to use a lauryl sulphate. For example…getting chlorine out of your hair. There are many “sulphate free” products available but a cleanser is still a cleanser. It’s just the new catch phrase in the hair industry.
And just to add a little more info…conditioners are quite the opposite. You want the smaller molecules that will penetrate the hair shaft and keep moisture balanced. Look for hydrogenized proteins.
Love your site!

[...] Cut back on washing your hair. Many shampoos contain problematic ingredients like fragrance and sodium lauryl sulfate that might actually lead to breakouts along the hair line and where your hair touches your face. [...]
