5 ingredients your hair products shouldn't contain
Most people don't read ingredient labels — and brands count on that. These five categories show up in thousands of shampoos, conditioners, and masks, quietly causing damage you'll only notice months later. Whether you have curly hair, wavy hair, or thinning hair — knowing what to avoid is the first step to healthier strands.
Upload your product label above or paste your ingredient list and we'll flag every one of them instantly.
Sulfates (SLS / SLES)
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Aggressive detergents that strip natural oils. Especially damaging for curly, color-treated, and dry hair — leaves the cuticle rough and prone to breakage.
Non-water-soluble silicones
Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Amodimethicone
Coat hair in a synthetic layer that blocks moisture. Cause buildup that makes hair dull and limp. Only harsh sulfates can remove them — creating a vicious cycle.
Drying alcohols
Isopropyl Alcohol, SD Alcohol, Alcohol Denat.
Evaporate fast and severely dehydrate hair, causing frizz and breakage. Don't confuse with moisturizing fatty alcohols like Cetyl Alcohol — those are beneficial.
Parabens
Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben
Preservatives linked to potential hormone disruption. While research is debated, many consumers and brands now choose paraben-free formulas.
Heavy waxes & mineral oils
Petrolatum, Paraffinum Liquidum, Cera Microcristallina
Petroleum-derived ingredients that clog follicles and suffocate strands. Require harsh sulfates to wash out — trapping you in a damage cycle.

What Is a Trichologist AI?
A trichologist is a specialist in hair and scalp health — trained to diagnose problems like hair loss, breakage, dryness, and product-related damage. Traditionally, a trichology consultation costs $100–$300 per session and requires an in-person visit. IsItClean brings that expertise online, for free, using AI trained on thousands of hair care ingredients and trichological research.
Our trichologist AI reads every ingredient on your product label — just like a real trichologist would during a consultation. It identifies sulfates that strip natural oils, non-water-soluble silicones that create buildup, parabens with safety concerns, and drying alcohols that dehydrate your hair from the inside out.
Whether you have curly hair, wavy hair, color-treated strands, or are dealing with thinning hair — this trichologist AI gives you a 0–100 safety score, a breakdown of every ingredient, and personalized recommendations in under 30 seconds. No appointment needed.
Why a Trichologist AI Beats Guessing
Expert-level hair analysis, no appointment needed
Real trichologists spend years learning how specific ingredients interact with different hair types. Our trichologist AI applies that same knowledge instantly — analyzing every compound in your product against a scientific database used by trichology professionals. Whether your concern is hair thinning, scalp sensitivity, curl definition, or color preservation, the analysis adapts to your specific situation.
Unlike generic ingredient lists you find online, a trichologist considers context: dimethicone might be fine for straight hair but devastating for curly hair. SLS works for oily scalps but destroys color-treated strands. Our AI makes these same distinctions — flagging ingredients as harmful, moderate, or beneficial based on your hair type and goals.
Start with our hair porosity test to understand how your hair absorbs moisture, then use the routine builder to get a personalized wash-day plan. For targeted recommendations, check out our alcohol-free shampoo finder, protein-free deep conditioner finder, or low pH shampoo finder.
