Shampoos on the market specially designed for oily scalps will leave you with a refreshing feeling and smooth hair after each wash. However, within a day, your scalp will start to become oily! It may be caused by the shampoo containing a large number of chemical ingredients (such as silicone, etc.), because some chemical ingredients can easily irritate the scalp and vigorously wash away the natural oils of the scalp, causing the scalp to become drier, more sensitive and red, and even stimulate the production of sebaceous lines. More grease will not achieve the oil control effect but will aggravate the oil production. Therefore, people with oily scalp are advised to choose organic hair care products that are chemical-free, silicone-free and milder to gently cleanse the scalp while keeping the hair healthy and shiny.

What is silicone?

Silicone, called polydimethylsiloxane, also commonly known as "silicone oil", is a synthetic polymer that can give hair a silky smooth feel and gloss.

Silicone has low tension and good lubrication. It is not easily soluble in water or oil. It can form a protective film to fill the gaps between the hair pieces, creating a smooth feeling and making the hair look smoother. Smooth and shiny.

Why can’t oily hair use shampoo containing “silicone”?

Adding silicone ingredients to shampoo will make the hair soft and smooth, but long-term use may cause the hair to be too soft, lose elasticity, fluffy feeling, and block the scalp capsule, which will lead to excessive scalp oil secretion.

When there is too much secretion, it may condense into dandruff and cuticles and accumulate on the scalp. In addition, if you do not have the habit of blow-drying your hair, it is easy to cause bacteria and mold to proliferate and emit bursts of oily odor. In severe cases, it may even lead to blocked pores and even Suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, resulting in severe inflammation of the scalp, accompanied by a lot of flaking dandruff when gently stroking the hair.
