Dry hair can feel rough to the touch, is extra prone to frizz, and could be a precursor to breakage and split ends.

It’s not permitted to be used alone, but only with its BFF, methylisothiazolinone (MI), another icky preservative.If it hadn’t weighed down my natural volume at the roots, I think I’d have been much happier overall with the smoothness I got from using this shampoo.

I dislike the conditioner more than the shampoo since it feels like my hair is weighted down if I use the conditioner. Since I already use organic (not vegan) cosmetics, facial and body care products, I figured I'd switch on over to vegan hair care. Leslie Baumann says in her great Cosmetic Dermatology book that thanks to the unique molecular characteristic of Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, it "has defined a new dimension in the mildness of cleansing bars". And last but not least, when salt is right at the first spot of the ingredient list (and is not dissolved), the product is usually a body scrub where salt is the physical exfoliating agent.After using this for a few weeks, I have noticed that I do not need to spray my hair with leave in conditioner as much. The reason for this is that salt acts as a fantastic thickener in cleansing formulas created with ionic cleansing agents (aka surfactants) such as Sodium Laureth Sulfate.
