Hair, like skin, needs careful care and the right selection of cosmetics. Therefore, manufacturers of hair care products every year improve the composition of masks, balms, serums and other care products. Especially popular among them in recent years are sulfate-free shampoos. In the article, we will consider what “Estelle” moisturizing shampoo is and what kind of reviews people leave about the product.
general description
Most hair cleansers contain a chemical called sulfate. It has excellent cleansing properties and has a low cost. However, with regular use it dries the scalp and hair, worsens their condition and contributes to brittleness.
The Estelle Moisturizing Hair Shampoo is sulfate-free; accordingly, this component has been replaced by natural plant extracts. They not only cleanse the scalp, but also nourish and moisturize it. Sulfate-free shampoos help holders of dry and injured hair to restore the strength and health of curls. For people with normal hair condition, this remedy is indicated for the prevention of possible damage to their structure.
Why are these shampoos better than others?
In addition to cleansing, Estelle Moisturizing Shampoo helps preserve the moisture necessary for the vitality of hair. After 1-2 applications, especially on dry hair, you can notice the positive effect of the product. Sulfate-free shampoos generally contain amino acids and betaine. When used regularly, hair becomes silky, docile and shiny.
Sulfate-containing shampoos often contain complementary substances - parabens. Sulfates contribute to the uniform distribution of thick foam and the effective cleansing of even heavily soiled hair. At the same time, they irritate the skin and enhance the exfoliation of cells, resulting in dandruff. Parabens are preservatives that increase the shelf life of the product and at the same time have a negative effect on the condition of the hair.
Harm from other shampoos
Often, manufacturers produce low-quality cheap cosmetic products in pursuit of profit, not caring about the health of their customers. This also applies to shampoos, in which natural components are replaced by chemically made analogues. Irreversible damage to hair is caused by such means: they become dull, thin, fall out, which sometimes leads to baldness. In addition, according to some experts, one of the main components of shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps and similar cleansers - sulfates - can affect the development of cancer cells.
If we talk about the visual effect produced by shampoos containing sulfates, then these are overdried and exfoliating ends of curls, dandruff, lack of hair shine.
Benefits and Benefits of Shampoo
Today, shampoos from various manufacturers are on the market. Esel sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo is especially popular in our country, as it has several advantages in comparison with other cleansers:
- Acceptable price. All sulfate-free shampoos are more expensive than usual, due to the fact that sulfates, which have a low price, are replaced by other, more expensive, natural ingredients. At the same time, the company Estelle is trying to adhere to the average price category not at the expense of product quality, but increasing sales.
- A wide range of directional shampoos. Customers of Estelle products can always choose a shampoo according to their individual needs. For example, with the effect of lamination, activating hair growth and awakening follicles, moisturizing and nourishing, for the care of colored hair or universal sulfate-free shampoo.

Features of Sulfate-Free Moisturizing Shampoo
Due to its mild cleansing effect, Estelle sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo can be used every day and not be afraid of a negative effect on the skin and hair structure. It is equally well suited to owners of dry, oily and normal hair, thanks to the stabilizing effect of the sebaceous glands.
Some consumers are unhappy with the lack of abundant white foam, sulfates are responsible for it. However, sulfate-free shampoos clean and wash dirt off the hair no worse, even with less foaming, this is more a matter of habit than worse quality shampoo, as is commonly thought.
The entire line of Estel brand hair care products is professional and provides a high-quality and long-lasting result.
The composition of the shampoo
One of the main components of Estelle moisturizing shampoo is nicotinic acid or vitamin B3. It favorably affects the follicles, strengthens and nourishes the hair along the entire length, preventing their loss. Depending on the effect produced by shampoo, excipients in its composition change:
- Wheat protein obtained in the process of hydrolysis strengthens the structure of the strands, maintains an optimal pH of the scalp, saturates the curls with useful elements.
- Complementary components such as citric acid, methyl alcohol, demethylselen provide shine and easy combing.
- Hexyldecanol gives curls softness and moisturizes.
Sulfate-free shampoo in combination with balm replaces the use of other hair care products.
Terms of use
Despite the many advantages of a hair cleanser, dermatologists in reviews of Estelle sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo do not recommend its regular use. It is better if this will be a course application from 1 to 3 months, and then take a short break for 1.5-2 months, after which you can resume using the product.
The rules for use are no different from any other shampoo. A little product is applied to wet hair and distributed along the entire length, then it is slightly foamed with gentle massaging movements and then washed off. If necessary, the procedure can be repeated. For weakened and severely injured curls, it is necessary to use other products from the same series. They are designed to complement each other and provide express hair restoration.
General recommendations for hair care.
Each hair consists of the smallest scales, ideally they should fit snugly together, which means that the curls do not need vitamins and they are properly taken care of. Unfortunately, even using Estelle moisturizing shampoo, such hair is a rarity, because their health and appearance are affected by stress, existing diseases, lack of nutrients, poorly selected cosmetics and many other factors.
To improve the condition of the hair, it is necessary to act inside and out:
- eat balanced;
- get rid of bad habits;
- carry out vitamin therapy;
- properly care for your hair;
- Do not abuse dyes, perms and other procedures harmful to the hair.
In addition, the most usual daily washing of hair with Otium Aqua moisturizing shampoo “Estelle” may not be performed correctly, as a result of which the hair is additionally injured.
Among the negative factors may be:
- Washing hair. Before washing your hair, it is recommended to comb your hair to avoid tangling. Well, if the water is not very warm and not cold, a temperature of 36 ° C is considered neutral, in addition, it should be soft, settled or boiled.
- Rinse. Optimal will be the use of a rinse conditioner of the same series as the shampoo. Both products should be selected according to the type of hair.
- Hair Mask. No matter how healthy your hair is, a good mask for them will never hurt. Here you can apply both folk and professional means. It is important to monitor the condition of the hair and avoid masks that do not bring the proper result.
- Combing. A comb with jagged or rough teeth made of low-quality material injures hair every day. It is better not to skimp and buy a slightly more expensive comb made from natural materials in accordance with all standards.
Hair care with the Estelle Aqua moisturizing shampoo is not a complicated procedure, but it requires consistency. A hair mask applied once every few months will not bring the desired result. It is necessary to act in a comprehensive manner, starting with the right selection of hair care products and ending with a healthy diet.
