Question about shampoo's, conditioners, and styling products. professional answers please?

Ok, so there is so much going around about good and bad shampoo's and i wanted to get real answers. First of all, if alcohol is so bad for your hair and dries it out, why is there cetyl and stearyl alcohol in almost every product? if they are tryign to moisturize the hair, why in the world would you put it in your product? I was recently told that the A/G brand is so much better for your hair because it has no alchol but i looked on the ingredients and it has both of those.





secondly, they say there is silicone in pantene pro V, and all i could find was an ingredient called ';Dimethicone';. Now, ive been useing a salon brand called Lanza, which has 'silicone' in it. my hair feels good after this, unlike after useing pantene pro V.is silicone really bad for your hair?or does it depend on the type?


lastly, sulfate is harsh for your hair, but do sulfate free formulas cleanse well enough?Question about shampoo's, conditioners, and styling products. professional answers please?
The alcohols that you mentioned are used to thicken the shampoo and give it its consistancy. Professional products are going to be better. If you can't afford professional I would try L'OReal products they make them professional and for the public. The shampoos that you cleanse with are made to strip excess oils from your hair and it is a good idea to always follow with a good conditioner after cleansing.Question about shampoo's, conditioners, and styling products. professional answers please?
The alcohol that you are referring to is a food grade to help preserve products. Otherwise they have a very short shelf life and can spoil. Some products don't have any in them or not as much. The closer the word alcohol is to the front of the list of ingredients the more there is in there. A G is a good brand. So is Phytologie. A natural French line. Your second question, silicone is not bad for your hair. It can coat the hair making it feel silky and easier to come out. There are different grades, qualities of these products. Like Hershey chocolate and Godiva. Both are chocolate but they don't taste the same and don't cost the same. Unless you are only shampooing a few times a week and really having a dirty scalp and a lot of product on the hair- you only need to gently clean your hair and scalp. So many people over shampoo.
