Sulfates are a very popular ingredient used in body wash, detergent, hand soap and shampoo. Sulphate is the ingredient that produces the foaming lather that we all love when washing our hair.

Why Sulphate Is Bad For Your Hair Extensions Sulfates are what is called surfactants – Their job is to reduce the level of surface tension between your shampoo and your skin, allowing the active ingredients in the shampoo to do a more effective job of cleaning dirt, oil and dead skin from your scalp and hair. Though sulfates have been considered “safe in low quantities” by the FDA, research done by the American College of Toxicology discovered that concentrations over one percent can prompt cellular damage. Most shampoos available today have a concentration of fifteen percent or more.
How does this affect you? • If you have sensitive skin, you will want to use Paraben and Sulfate Free Shampoo to better nourish and condition your hair. If you have skin issues like eczema or psoriasis, sulfates may cause a flare-up. People who have dry hair, should avoid shampoos with sulfate as it will cause your hair to become drier as sulfates prevent your hair from receiving natural oils. If you want to experiment with color, a paraben and sulphate free shampoo can help sustain your color and prevent it from discolouring.
Why is sulphate based shampoo not recommended for hair extensions? • Using a sulfate based shampoo on hair extensions is even worse than using it on real hair. Sulfates are damaging to your hair extensions and unlike your natural hair the extensions aren’t affixed to your scalp, so they do not receive natural oils needed to restore moisture and keep them healthy.
Tips to wash your hair extensions: • Prior to immersing your extensions into the water, properly detangle your hair from tips to roots with the help of a wide-tooth comb. Always use lukewarm water when cleaning your extensions because it opens the cuticles without encouraging tangles. Once your hair is properly soaked in water, wring most of the water out. Then apply a palm-size amount of your favouriteparaben and sulphate free shampoo to get rid of any oil, and dirt build up. It is recommended to lather and rinse two times to make sure you get rid of all dirt and oil.
