Warning-rated shampoos contain at least one ingredient from three problem categories: sulfates, non-water-soluble silicones, or waxes. The most common offender in shampoos is sulfates — harsh cleansing agents that strip natural oils from your hair.
Non-water-soluble silicones like dimethicone create a coating on the hair shaft that can only be removed with sulfate shampoos, creating a cycle of stripping and coating. Waxes cause similar buildup issues.
If you follow the Curly Girl Method strictly, these shampoos should be avoided. However, some are still popular products — if you want to check exactly which ingredients triggered the warning, click on any product to see its full ingredient analysis.
