Is this why you don't want to use sulfates?

No, I've never heard of that before, actually.
The reason I try to stay away from sulfate shampoos is because they tend to strip color.click to expand
Posted by rockyroadicecream I noticed that when I was looking up the significance of sulfates beyond foaming.
I may have to consider a sulfate free route as well since I dye my hair. I don't think it really matters since I dye mine burgundy and the red fades by the time I need to do my roots anyway.

i need to get a better body wash then coz mine fills up the shower area with foam!

Dry shampoo is usually used inbetween hair washes to remove that greasiness on the crown. You're a dude, right? Dudes can get away with washing their hair every day whereas girls can't, so idk, you probs don't wash your hair enough![]()
Shampoos containing SLS (the ingredient that allows you to lather) strips your hair's natural oils and gives it that frizziness. But it's so difficult finding a good SLS free shampoo
yes but i am doing the black indian challenge where i am growing my hair out to black indian levels so i might as well switch to girl products eventually.
how dare you i wash my hair everyday! didn't you see my shampoo in the 1st page it says daily protein blah blah!![]()

I had no idea until my colorist told me. My dye jobs are infrequent, bit pricey, so I try to do whatever I can to preserve the color and luminosity. I think the sulfates used in the Suave Professional line are on the mild side, so you should be okay.click to expand

I dye my own hair and it costs me like 10 bucks every 6 mos or so (I can get 2-3 dye jobs out of the two bottles that I mix my color with haha). I don't worry too much about touch ups.

Do you have light colored hair naturally? I'd love to dye my own hair, but I have jet black hair, so no color will show up on it unless I bleach it first. And bleaching really dark hair pretty much requires a professional. A really skilled one at that.
That plus having really long hair = holyfucktaculously expensive salon visit

I've tried the DIY route before, and it was a disaster every time. Sag moon, so no patience, and my bathroom always ended up being a mess. The color would look unflattering because it was either unevenly distributed, or lighter at the top and darker at the bottom, like a reverse ombre. I just couldn't figure out a non-fuss way to do it at home, so I figured best leave it to the professionals from then on, lol.click to expand

For dry shampoo, I prefer the aerosol cans.
Dermalogica contains a lot of complex ingredients that are more geared toward those who have acne-prone or problem skin. I've used the gel cleanser before and found that it was still a bit drying. Right now, I'm using Cera Ve, which was recommended to me by my dermatologist, and it works better than most high-end brands I've tried in the past. It's very affordable and accessible, as well. Doesn't foam, but still leaves the skin feeling clean. You can buy it as a soap bar or liquid form. I like both.
