Hi all!!

I was just reading about how the ingredient TEA-Lauryl Sulfate in shampoos can dry out your hair.

But what about when it lists TEA-Lauryl Sulfate (From Coconut Oil) on the label. Is this form any better for your hair or does it have the same harsh effect and should not be used?

Any comments or ideas are greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!

Happy Hair Days to You All!!!

It makes no difference that TEA-lauryl sulfate is dervied from coconut oil, as are many shampoo detergents and lather-formers. Hair companies list that little parenthetical afterthought to make people think that natural-sounding ingredients are somehow safer and gentler, which is certainly not always the case. And ALL TEA-lauryl sulfate is from coconut; some manufacturers just choose to throw in that extra info for show. I recommend staying away from that ingredient, period.
