Why should silicone oil be added to shampoo? This starts with the structure of hair.
Our hair grows from the hair follicles on the scalp and is mainly composed of keratin. Each hair has many cuticles on it. The outermost layer of hair scales is composed of 7-10 layers of dead cells, covering the hair surface to protect the hair core. Healthy hair scales are complete and docile, so the hair surface is smooth and looks shiny.
When shampooing, the lubricating and protective grease attached to the hair scales will be washed away. When combing the hair, the hair scales will rise, which increases the friction between the hairs and makes the hairs tangled together easily. Exacerbating damage to hair cuticles. If you dye your hair and perm it, it will open the hair cuticles and make your hair look dry and dull.
Silicone oil can adsorb to the hair, fill in the unevenness caused by the bulges of the hair scales, reduce the mutual friction between the hair strands, make the hair easy to comb and smooth, and effectively relieve hair damage.
At the same time, silicone oil is also a skin moisturizing ingredient that can cover the skin to form a protective layer to prevent skin water loss, and is often used in moisturizers.
