I understand that oil, like silicones, seals hair and can seal moisture into hair but can also lock it out.
I also understand that to remove silicones (or at least the non-water soluble kind), you need to need sulphate shampoos.
But what about oils? Can a really mild shampoo (no sulphates) like the kind I am using effectively remove oils? Do I need to shampoo all the hair rather than just the scalp to remove the oil? If the oil gets left on is there a risk of sealing the moisture out?
The oil is actually in my current conditioner, which is currently the only thing I put all over my hair (shampoo just goes on the scalp). Do I need to be concerned about removing the oil each time I wash to ensure water is locked in, not out, when I apply the conditioner?
((Ps. My current shampoo contains: water (aqua); aloe vera (aloe barbadensis); decyl glucose (decyl glucoside); guar gum (guar gum); apple cider vinegar (acetic acid))
