Can shampoo containing silicone oil block hair follicles and lead to scalp lesions? Shall I switch to silicon-free shampoo

Rumor: Ordinary silicon shampoo can block hair follicles and lead to hair or scalp lesions.

Truth: No. Since the 1970s, silicone oil has been resident in shampoo, but there have been no cases of allergy or alopecia caused by it.

First of all, there are no living what cells in the hair outside the scalp.

In fact, the hair outside the scalp consists of three layers. From outside to inside, there are epidermis (commonly referred to as hair scales), cortex and medulla.

The epidermis will be damaged under such conditions as alkaline environment and friction, and the hair surface will no longer be smooth and the hair quality will deteriorate.

It will attach to the epidermis, making the surface of the epidermis smoother, thus making the hair look more beautiful on the macro level. So silicone oil adheres to the hair and makes the hair better.

The answer is no. Since the 1970s, silicone oil has been resident in shampoo, but there have been no cases of allergy or alopecia caused by it.

[Alcohol] This ingredient claims to contain it, which will lead to poor hair quality. However, shampoo manufacturers do not do one-shot business. If you use it once, your hair quality will deteriorate. How can you use it again?
