This was a message I got from someone who used the Clarifying Charcoal Shampoo Bar after watching one of my videos about why you should use sulfates when washing your hair. Sulfate-free shampoos do NOT clean your hair! The sulfates bind to the oils on your hair to rinse them away and is a necessary part of your wash day. The hair industry has done us a disservice by telling us to stay away from sulfates!
