Hubby's not home right now. And I hate to ask him "one more question for the chemist" about hair products: He's liable to murder me if I do! lol
Will you all help me to figure out if what I'm using on my hair is - as I think it is - 'cone free?
I'm curious...
Also, do any of you see anything else in these ingredients that might be damaging to my type of hair ?
(very oily | baby fine | thin | naturally curly - see my profile)
Shampoo Ingredients: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocoamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Carboxymethyl Chitin,Hydrolyzed Keratin, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Egg Shell Extract, Alcohol, Camphor, Pyridoxin HCl, Parfum, Propylene Glycol, 5-Bromo-5-Nitro-1,3-Dioxane, Methylparaben, Citric Acid, and CI 42090
Conditioner Ingredients: Aqua, Paraffinum Liquidum, Ceterayl Alcohol, Tallow Alcohol, Cetareth-20, Carboxymethyl Chitin, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, EGG Shell Extract, Lecithin, Alcohol, Camphor, Pyridoxin HCl, Cetearylkonium Bromide, Benzalkonium Bromide, Ceteareth-12, Parfum, Methylparaben, Citric Acid
I only see one possible 'no-no' type of ingredient as listed on the Curl Whisperer (http://www.livecurlylivefree.com/product%20ingredients.htm)'s website. She lists Sodium Laureth Sulfate as a reasonably harsh surfactant, although she also lists Cocoamidopropyl Betaine as a reasonably mild surfactant... and those are the second and third (respective) ingredients, right after number one ingerdient - water.
PLEASE save suggestions about CO, WO, or shampoo bars (or any kind of soap rather than shampoo). None of this ^ works for my hair - tried 'em all and for months and months at a time, each, one at a time individually. Not saying these techniques don't work for some people's hair - just that my hair doesn't like any of 'em.
Thanks, in advance, for you help! :)
PS - I've been successfully using this particular shampoo ad conditioner for over a year, now, and it's doing really good things for my hair (growing longer/faster)... but I'm trying to make my hair better - a bit thicker, and less frizzy (especially when plopping and going curly-wurly. Maybe I just can't get my hair any better... dunno *shrug*
