Apparently it's too harsh and theirs another reason about it being bad for the skin or your health; I can't remember exactly though, but the shampoo I use contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and another one I've used contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate (slightly milder) and I haven't experienced any problems. You can however really tell a difference when you use Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, which is used in clarifying shampoos, as it really strips the hair. HTH!
ummm oops i used some of my buddies physique and it had that as one of the ingredients (hey i was at her house and needed a shower and forgot my shampoo),that explains why my hair felt dry afterwards.anyways how do you avoid such ingredients since they are in everything and why doesnt the FDA step in and make them stop using these ingredients

I don't think it will ever be listed near the bottom as this is the active cleansing agent, it's ok to use Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate say once a month followed by a moisturising shampoo to clarify the hair. You can either go for a natural shampoo, but like I said SLS is fine you do actually need something to clean the hair so unless you noticed any problems it will ok to continue use. However if it really bothers you Nexxus Therappe contains Sodium LauRETH Sulfate which is the ideal one and slighlty gentler then the Lauryl version.

I only know of two shampoo's sold in stores that don't have any sulfates in them and they are, Creme of Nature and Neutrogena Triple Moisture. Many people love them both. I have used Creme of Nature for years and it is my favorite shampoo. It detangles my hair really well and I don't even feel like I need to use conditioner afterwards. I have not tried NTM yet. There are many other options for sulfate free shampoo's online also but they are more pricey. I've been using Elucence and I love it. http://www.elucence.com/shampoos.html

neutrogena has sulphates. i believe the triple moisture shampoo has sodium trideceth sulphate. its probably gentler than ALS. ive not done any research on it. i stay away from sulphates except when i have to clarify. my clarifying shampoo has sodium myreth sulphate which is very gentle. it strips my hair but its the witch hazel in the product that does it not the myreth sulphate. if i have to shampoo without clarifying, i use burts bees baby bee shampoo bar
