Is silicone oil good or not?
I do not know since when, in the hairdressing and hair care industry on the popular concept of “silicone-free”, it seems that silicone oil has become one of the important indicators to measure the shampoo qualified, silicone oil is “poor quality” or “chemical Additives” shampoo, on the contrary, the shampoo without silicone oil is healthy, green. The bad effects of silicone oil ingredients are infinitely magnified, coupled with commercial operations and publicity, so that everyone knows, so that consumers feel from the body and psychologically that silicone oil is a prohibited ingredient, is this in fact the case?
First of all, to know whether a substance or ingredient is beneficial or harmful, you can’t just rely on hearsay or “doujian”, especially in the modern internet age, where a lot of information is flooding the internet and it’s hard to tell the truth, so it’s easy to be misled or led astray. Of course, this is not a rebuttal to silicone oil, nor is it “risking the world”, but only from a technical level to talk about personal opinions, as for how the reader determines, that is a matter of opinion. There are many substances in the world that should be viewed in an objective way to assess its role, such as the poppy, from the perspective of drug trafficking and drug control, this is definitely a recognized drug, endangering society, affecting human health, and should be booked to crack down on illegal cultivation and circulation; if you look at it from the perspective of medical drugs, those suffering from cancer pain, with its role to relieve a lot of pain, such use it is Savior and wonderful. As the saying goes, “No grievance is too big or too small to be born of love; no thing is too beautiful or too bad to be a disaster”.
Silicone oil is no exception, not all negative effects, but also has its positive role and effect, just the usage dosage in whose hands it is. A weapon, in the hands of the righteous and the hands of the vicious, the effect is certainly two extremes. In the modern hair industry, the hair washing, care, maintenance, treatment, comprehensive separation into more refined items, shampoo ingredients can only retain the cleaning and oil removal ingredients, the rest of the hydration, moisturizing, luster, smooth, nourishing, anti-bacterial and even anti-dandruff items can be solved in other products, professional products to solve professional things, so do not worry about shampooing the hair is not smooth, hair no glossiness, etc. However, if you just choose a silicone oil-free shampoo without using these complementary products, the cleanliness of your hair can certainly be good, but the texture and beauty of your hair may be much worse. This time contains a small amount of silicone oil shampoo, the effect of washing hair is certainly much better, especially now the winter season, the climate is very dry, hair and scalp are in every moment “lost” water molecules, dry scalp and body skin flakes, hair static electricity obvious. If there is a thin layer of silicone oil on the hair strands, then this problem can be alleviated a lot, this is the advantage of silicone oil shampoo. Therefore, in the winter time, one of the main points of hair care is hair moisturizing, if you have often go to a professional hair care center, this problem naturally does not exist, if you just use a silicone oil-free shampoo at home, then this problem, you must pay attention to it.
In addition, from the analysis of the safety of silicone oil itself, in today’s cosmetic raw material use catalog, it is still one of the cosmetic raw materials allowed to use, and the use of a very wide range, such as common conditioner, mask cream, shampoo, massage cream, hair milk, skin cream and so on may use this ingredient, since in these hair care, skin care products can exist, why can not be in the shampoo In the existence of shampoo? This truth we can think carefully to think about where the root of the problem, smart people do not need to say broken. In short, from a technical point of view, silicone oil is a very conventional raw material, with or without, is ultimately each person’s own decision, what season with what season without, I believe that we all have their own life experience, each person’s hair and skin is also different, can be adjusted according to their own situation flexible. In a word, products containing silicone oil, we do not have to worry about what irreversible consequences will arise, and do not have to say that it is like a miracle cure, objective knowledge and understanding, and then rational treatment on the good.
