Hi ladies and gents :)
I heard there are some websites where you can look up beauty care ingredients but I haven't been able to find any. Does anyone know of such sites?
I'm really interested in knowing the names of problematic coating agents that prevent moisture from being absorbed - waxes, cones, mineral oils..
Please share if you know exact names of certain ingredients that have such effect.
After having read about how these types of coatings prevents your hair from absorbing moisture I've started to wonder what all you LHC'ers with such beautiful hair actually do about this issue? I know those coatings by preventing absorbtion of moisture prevents frizziness but do any of you experience that your hair won't absorb oil as good or that treatments don't work as well when you use cones (or the like)?
I've had my doubts as to wether I should stick to being cone-free (had been for a few months) because I missed the slip I get from cones. I started using my coney leave-in again (morrocan oil) but it seems my hair doesn't really like cones that much anymore so I'm probably going to stop using them again. My hair starts to feel 'plastic like' - kind of like doll hair after a few days. On top of that it becomes greasy faster and it doesn't seem to absorb oil properly.
Here are the ingredients lists of the shampoos and the condish I use (the cone-free ones):
Franck Provost repair shampoo (I use this for clarifying purposes but I don't feel like it removes the cones properly?? Is it good enough to use for clarifying?):
Aqua, sodium laureth sulfate, coco-betaine, sodium chloride, glycol distearate, Cl 17200/red 33, cocamide mea, carbomer, sodium benzoate, sodium methylparaben, salicylic acid, sodium hydroxide, 2-oleamido-1.3-octadecanediol, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride, citric acid, hexylene glycol, ethylparaben, hexyl cinnamal, butylphenyl methylpropional, parfum
Daily Organics shampoo:
Aqua, aloe barbadensis leaf juice, sodium cocoamphoacetate, glycerin, sodium chloride, sodium cocoyl glutamate, lactic acid, glyceryl oleate, coco glucoside, cocamidopropyl betaine, lauryl glucoside, sodium benzoate, citric acid, potassium sorbate, isopropyl alcohol, sodium phytate
Tresemmé Naturals Nourishing moisture conditioner (use this also for CO once in a while):
Aqua, caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, aspartic acid, lauroyl lysine, persea gratissima (avocado) oil, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, caprylyl glycol, brassica campestris/aleurites fordi oil copolymer, distearyldimonium chloride, citric acid, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, parfum, benzyl alcohol
I hope some of you can help me out here - I would be very grateful. :)
