Who doesn’t remember those luxurious lathers of shampoos we used since childhood? They made bath time more enjoyable, gentle, and somewhat comforting, right? But what few of us knew was the effect of those suds on the health of our curls and the scalp, thanks to a particular component: the dreaded Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, or simply sulfate.
You might be wondering: Why should I avoid using shampoos with sulfates in their composition? What are the consequences for our hair when applying this ingredient?
Sulfates are powerful detergent agents that, when used on hair, tend to open the hair cuticles and remove a beneficial natural oil for hair health.
We often receive questions at Stuca about why our Stuca Shampoo, Co-wash, and Stuca Extra Shampoo produce so little foam. Routinely, we explain that this characteristic of foamless shampoo is due to the absence of sulfates in our products developed for curly, kinky, wavy, and super kinky hair. Sulfates excessively remove the natural oil from the scalp, increasing hair dryness and, consequently, causing porosity and rough hair.
Unfortunately, the feeling that a shampoo is not cleaning adequately due to the lack of foam is a belief rooted since childhood. It is essential to clarify that foamless shampoo cleans gently and effectively.
Our Stuca product line offers three distinct cleansers, each meeting specific needs. The common feature among them is the gentleness in cleaning and the absence of sulfates in their formulas.
Stuca Extra Shampoo is the most robust of the three and is suitable for scalps with higher oil production. It is also a great option for wavy hair.
Stuca Shampoo has intermediate gentleness, ideal for curly and kinky hair.
Co-wash is an extremely gentle and moisturizing cleansing conditioner, perfect for kinky and super kinky hair or for alternating with Cleanse when washing your hair very frequently (3 or more times a week).
All these products are available on our website www.stucacosmetics.com, and you can also get guidance directly from our product consultants via WhatsApp at +55 48 99623-6393.
Therefore, if you want to keep your curls healthy and free from the harmful effects of sulfates, do not hesitate to try our foamless shampoos, specially developed to meet the needs of curly, kinky, and wavy hair. Your curls will thank you!
