If you're experiencing dull and matted hair, it's possible you're missing a strong surfactant from your routine. These are essential for removing product build- up and cationic conditioning agents such as the following:
Stearalkonium chloride
Cetrimonium chloride
Cetrimonium bromide
Behentrimonium methosulfate
Behentrimonium chloride
Benzalkonium chloride
Cinnamidopropyltrimonium chloride
Cocotrimonium chloride
Dicetyldimonium chloride
Dicocodimonium chloride
Hydrogenated Palm Trimethylammonium chloride
Lauryltrimonium chloride
Quaternium-15
Quaternium-22
Stearamidopropyl dimethylamine (lactate, citrate, propionate)
Isostearamidopropyl dimethylamine
Isostearamidopropyl morpholine
Wheatgermamidopropyl dimethylamine
Behenamidopropyl dimethylamine
Polyquaternium-xx
To effectively remove these ingredients, be sure to use a sulfate shampoo, for example:
- Sodium lauryl sulfate
- Ammonium lauryl sulfate
- Sodium coco-sulfate
C14-16 olefin sulfonate is a sulfate free ingredient that can also be used to reset the scalp, since it is also quite a strong detergent.
