Porosity Control - how often?

[Poohbear]

What are the ingredients in the Conditioner?

I understand that the shampoo has ALS in it and I always skip 'poos with ALS but would like to know what's in the conditioner. TIA!

And what does ALS do to your hair???

Pooh, the ALS stands for Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate and it is one of the harshest sulfates you can use on your hair. If a person has a straighter hair type like type 1 or 2 they might suffer from oily hair in which case ALS might just be what they need, but for curlier hair which tends to be a bit dryer, ALS is prone to be detrimental if used too frequently...a serious no no .

In regards to the question of what the PC does, if I'm not mistaken because I have never used this product, it is supposed to fill in porous hair in some way to help combat damage that may occur during a chemical process. I imagine hard-core proteins working in the same manner and basically making the strand more complete, stronger, and more resilient. HTH.
