What this product is
Written from the ingredient list. Where it describes how a formula behaves, that is inferred from what the ingredients are and where they sit in the list, not measured.
Overview
Non-Silicone Shampoo is a shampoo from SALON LINK, aimed at fine hair, straight hair and wavy hair. On the evidence of its ingredient list, the formula works on moisture, oil control and frizz control. The ingredients doing most of that work are Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Glycerin. The list runs to 29 ingredients, 18 of which carry a role we recognise for hair.
How it cleanses
It cleanses with Sodium Laureth Sulfate, a sulfate detergent — effective on oil and product, and the thing people move away from when colour fades fast or the lengths feel stripped. It is buffered with Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Potassium Cocoyl Glutamate, which softens that considerably.
How it feels on hair
The formula reads as lightweight: humectants lead and there is little in the way of heavy oil or silicone, so it should not weigh fine hair down. There are no silicones in the list. The formula leans to moisture rather than protein.
Protein
There is a small amount of protein in the list: Arginine, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hydrolyzed Keratin and Hydrolyzed Silk.
On the scalp
For the scalp itself the formula carries Panthenol. A sensitive or easily irritated scalp may want something milder — the detergent here is the strong kind.
Where it goes
It is the first step of a wash: it goes on wet hair before anything else. Wet the hair thoroughly. Apply an appropriate amount of shampoo evenly throughout the hair and work into a lather. Massage gently to cleanse the hair and scalp, then rinse thoroughly with water
What it is not for
Nothing in this formula is aimed at volume / lightweight, curl definition, color protection and damage repair — not a fault, just the shape of what is in the bottle, and the reason one product rarely covers a whole routine. No ingredient here is one we recognise as supporting hair growth. Reducing breakage and growing hair are different things, and this formula's evidence is for the first.
In short
Working for it
- No silicones
- Light enough for fine hair
Worth knowing
- Cleansed with sulfates
- Contains fragrance
- Not the gentlest option for a reactive scalp
