			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Advantages of Shampoo Without Sodium Laurel Sulfate</h3>
<p>Sodium Laural Sulfate (or Ammonium laurel sulfate)  is one of the most common ingredients on beauty products. This can be true of hair care or skin care products. But most people are asking about the particular benefits of sulfate free shampoo. This may just be the first thought in consumer&#8217;s minds since that is probably the one one product we cannot do with out. We can skip the conditioner or skin cream, but going without shampoo does seem pretty grungy.</p>
<h3>Why Are Sulfates in Beauty Products?</h3>
<p>They are simply foaming agents or deetergents. When you wash your hair, you may expect a nice sudsy lather. That is certainly a common image presented by TV or print ads. This ingredient is, by the way, well tested as it has been around for half a century.  However use seems to be growing, and it is even showing up in some vitamins and toothpaste which are things we eat.</p>
<p>Does common use mean it is good for you or the environment? Well, read on to learn more.</p>
<h3>Sulfate Allergies</h3>
<p>A first sympton of a possible sensitivity or allergy to sulfates could be an itchy scalp or rash. You can experience this even if you have used products with this ingredient for years with no problems. Some allergies are cumulative, and since sulfates are finding their way into more and more products, it could just be affecting you now.</p>
<p>Some people suffer a lot more than just an annoying rash. They can actually get full blown hives or have trouble breathing. If you do have a rash, it may be a good time to try and figure out what caused it.</p>
<h3>Sulfate Free Shampoo Bases</h3>
<p>If you would like to wash your hair without this ingredient, look at some sulfate free shampoo bases like natural aloe. These products are also silicone free which is another ingredient that sensitive people may want to avoid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Why Do So Many People Want Sulfate Free Shampoo?</h3>
<p>Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is one ingredient in shampoo that has been singles out as causing hair loss. In fact, some people have just given up on shampoo and reported that hair stopped falling out and started growing in much better. Are you ready to give up on shampoo? I&#8217;m really not, so I think it is time to start looking for sulfate free shampoo and hair products.</p>
<p><strong>Hair Loss Lab Tests On Sulfate Products</strong></p>
<p>This is not just an urban myth either. The American College to Toxicology has reported on studies with rats using sulfite products. The subjects skin was irritated and inflamed, and yes, they lost fur. And some of these studies used a solution that was only 5% SLS. Many shampoos contain 2 to 4 times that amount!</p>
<p><strong>Why Isn&#8217;t Everybody Bald Then?</strong></p>
<p>Sulfate has been a shampoo ingredient for over half a century. If this causes thinning hair and baldness, why does anybody have hair? I do not have an answer, but I have some reasonable explanations. Some people may suffer from unkown allergies, while others with &#8211; for example &#8211; male pattern baldness  &#8211; may be more sensitive anyway. People use different amount of shampoo. I tend to just use a dab, but my daughter uses a handful. And people with more hair in the firsst place, may dilute the effect because less gets into their scalp.</p>
<p><strong>Try a Sulfate Free Shampoo To See If It Helps You Grow More Hair</strong></p>
<p>Obviously, different people have different reactions. But if you believe you are losing a lot of hair, or if your hair is thinning, would it hurt to go sulfate free for awhile?</p>

<p>Are you slowing your hair growth with Major brand products?<br />
The “c-one” thing to look for!</p>
<p>Silicone&#8230;or liquid glass, seals the scalp and stops the ability to absorb nourishment transdermally.

Weightless natural conditioning that is wholesome nourishes fully, giving you the best scenario for perfect hair and skin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Silicon Free Natural Products The Work</h3>
<p>Until now, natural products in the salon meant underperformance and at best, a trade-off. Either it was somewhat good for the environment, and left clients not looking their best… or use dangerous chemicals that left them looking great, but at the expense of their overall health and wellbeing.<br />
The time has come for natural, food-grade products that exceed expectations, leaving the hair looking incredible, and Belegenza delivers. </p>
<p>Belegenza is the one and only silicone-free, mineral oil-free, petrolatum-free, paraben-free, SLS-free, phthalate-free, &#038; urea-free product line designed for the high-end salon and clientele. We have developed a patent-pending formula that actually penetrates deep into the hair shaft as opposed to coating the hair with chemicals. The conditioning and cleansing agents are a unique combination of the fruits of the earth, sea and strength of silk to provide condition, shine and performance never before possible in natural haircare. </p>
<p>Not only has Belegenza discovered a way to make each of the benefits synergistic in their effects—but has done so without the conventional chemical culprits!&#8230;.. free of silicone, petrolatum, mineral oil, phthalates, SLS (sulfates), parabens, ureas! Belegenza is committed to creating and upgrading all our formulas to meet the rigid requirements set by the CEO Alan G Eschenburg at all times.</p>
<p>We created the silicone-free era, unlike companies that simply modify their formulas to make them “green-like” with all the hidden culprits as a base. </p>
