Why Hair Gets Frizzy
"The hydrophobicity (a hydrophobe molecule which is repelled by water) of the hair is possible thanks to the 18-MEA lipid layer (a layer on the hair shaft which keeps hair shiny and managable). Removal of this covalently linked fatty acid renders the fiber hydrophilic (allows the hair to absorb water). When wet, virgin hair can be stretched by 30% of their original length without damage; however, irreversible changes occur when hair is stretched between 30% and 70%. Stretching to 80% causes fracture (hair breakage). Hair is porous (allows air and water to pass through it) and damaged hair is intensely so. Water absorption causes the hair shaft swelling.
Causes:
Excessive or repeated chemical treatment
Poor grooming habits
Chemical treatments (hair dyes, perms, hair extensions, etc.)
Environmental exposure (weather changes, temperature changes, too much sun, not enough sun, too much humidity in the air)
These changes can be seen microscopically as “weathering” of the hair shaft and contribute to tangling, and frizzing. Weathering is the progressive degeneration from the root to the tip of the hair. Normal weathering is due to daily grooming practices. When the hair is extremely weathered and chemically treated, there may be scaling of the cuticle layers, removal of the 18-MEA and cuticle crack. If the cuticle is removed, the exposure of the cortex and further cortex damage may lead to hair fiber fracture. The use of hair cosmetics may restore hair cuticle damage and prevent hair breakage by reducing friction and water pick up" (1).

Allergens in Shampoo Can Cause Contact Dermatitis
Allergic contact dermatitis causes skin to be itchy and irritated. This happens when your skin develops an allergic reaction from a foreign substance such as the perfumes and chemicals often found in cosmetics, skin care products, and shampoos (2).
Although considered as safe products, shampoos can cause contact dermatitis. You should always check the labeling on your shampoo and conditioners and look for the following ingredients.
Common allergens to avoid in shampoos are:
Cocamidopropyl betaine
Methylchloroisothiazolinone
Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives
Propylene glycol
Vitamin E (tocopherol)
Parabens
Benzophenones" (1).
