Selecting the right care products is crucial. Make sure to check the ingredient list and avoid products containing:
SLS, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, denatured alcohol, ethanol, SD alcohol 40, propanol, Isopropyl alcohol and propyl.These ingredients strip the hair of its natural oils, leading to drier hair more prone to tangling or matting.
