What is a Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Why Do You Need It?
Sulfates (like SLS) are strong detergents that create a rich lather. However, they can be too harsh, stripping away natural oils, causing dryness and frizz, and fading your hair color.
Switching to a sulfate-free formula means:
- 
Longer-Lasting Color: Protects your vibrant salon color from fading.
 - 
Healthier Scalp: Reduces the risk of dryness, itchiness, and irritation.
 - 
Better Moisture Retention: Helps hair retain its natural oils for softness and hydration.
 - 
Prolonged Treatment Life: Extends the results of your keratin or rebonding treatments.
