Best SLS-Free Shampoos in Pakistan (2025 List) Dermatologist-Approved Picks for Frizz, Fall & Color

If your hair feels straw-dry, color keeps fading, or your scalp stings after washing - your shampoo could be the culprit. Traditional sulfates (like SLS/SLES) are strong cleaners but can strip natural oils and irritate sensitive scalps. Dermatology guidance favors gentler surfactants for dry, frizzy, curly and color-treated hair - exactly where SLS-free wins.

What “SLS-Free” actually means (and why it helps)

• SLS/SLES = powerful foaming detergents that can over-clean and dehydrate hair/scalp in susceptible people.

• SLS-free formulas rely on milder surfactants (e.g., betaines, glucosides, glycinate systems) that cleanse without nuking your barrier- key for dryness, frizz, color retention and sensitive skin
