Sulphates are surfactants. In a nutshell you can say that sulphates are the salts in sulphuric acid. Sulphates have cleansing properties, so that is why you usually find them in shampoos. Shampoos with sulphates usually cleanse your hair slightly more.

When you are checking the ingredient list of your shampoo, you can find sulphates listed as one of the following:

SLS | Sodium Lauryl Sulphate
SLES | Sodium Laureth Sulphate
ALS | Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
ALES | Ammonium Laureth Sulfate

Are sulphates bad?

The main problem with sulphates is that it can dry your hair a bit or make it look a bit dull. It some cases you can also get some scalp irritation, if it turns out that you are allergic or sensitive to sulphates. These chemical cleansing agents are sometimes a bit too harsh.

In those cases, it is possible that sulphates are cleansing your hair deeply and wash away the natural oil ins your hair and scalp. That can result in an itchy scalp and dry hair. Sometimes it causes skin irritation.

Sulphates are perfectly safe to use in cosmetic products under European law and most men will not notice anything when using shampoos with sulphates. So, sometimes people are maybe exaggerating a little bit when it comes to banning sulphates.
