Review of the best according to the editorial board. About selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Shampoo has become the most common care product, because many wash their hair every day, and sometimes several times a day. Once upon a time our great-grandmothers used herbal decoctions. Then, with the advent of the cosmetic industry, modern detergents were produced in very beautiful and convenient packages. Today, manufacturers of care products focus on shampoos, offering a huge selection of products with different compositions and any price category.

Having chosen a product, we do not always think about whether it will be useful for our hair. Manufacturers promise gentle cleansing, gentle care, easy combing, mirror shine. But this does not always happen in reality. After application, dryness, brittleness appears, the scalp begins to peel off and itch, the hair becomes disobedient, and often begins to fall out intensively. And only then many begin to look for the cause of such troubles.

It lies precisely in the chemical composition, which includes aggressive components that can cause such a reaction. The most terrible and harmful to hair are sulfates. They affect the lipid layer of the skin, accumulate on it, penetrate the pores and provoke the formation of seborrhea. In addition, they intensively wash out the coloring pigment and contribute to the generation of static electricity.

Our experts, based on the results of laboratory studies and feedback from ordinary women, have compiled a rating of the best sulfate-free products that can effectively wash away dirt and styling residue without compromising health.
