Many shampoos use the chemicals sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate to give their shampoo a pleasing, foamy texture. While many individuals may like the texture of the shampoo, it's not necessarily the best option for their hair. Sulfates are chemicals designed to help shampoo do its job of removing dirt and other items from an individual's hair and scalp. However, it might do too good of a job and can often leave hair dry and damaged.

Using shampoos with sulfates once every so often probably won't damage an individual's hair. It's the continual use of the products that will take a toll. Regular washing will contribute to the reduction of proteins and natural oils required to help hair stay healthy. Thankfully, there are many options for sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners that clean hair just as well.
