Shampoo "Siberica", the price of which is from about 120 to 180 rubles. per pack of 400 ml, can be found in stores next to similar products such as Pantene - about 180 rubles. (per 400 ml), L'Oreal Paris Elsave - about 150 rubles. (200 ml), Nivea - 100-200 rubles (250 ml), Evinal - 140 rubles (250 ml), Garnier Fructis - 140 rubles. (400 ml), Himalaya Herbals - 140 rub.

As you can see, the price of all these funds does not differ much. With the exception of Shamtu - he is the cheapest in this collection. What makes Siberik shampoos stand out among them? Are they the best? All listed products except Organic Shop contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate. There is no fundamental difference between them - they are all typical representatives of the mass market.
Sibirika sulfate-free shampoo eliminates the harmful effects of the aforementioned substances, which really wash hair well, but with prolonged use can cause reactions like allergies: dryness, irritation and dandruff, as well as increase hair loss. In natural detergents, synthetic surfactants are replaced with analogues made from coconut oil. They do not dry the scalp, have a neutral PH, should strengthen and improve hair, make them more elastic, stimulate their natural growth. Is this really so? Let's see how Siberica shampoos are described by those who have already used them.
Shampoos brand "Siberica": customer reviews
In general, reviews about them create an ambiguous impression and are even able to alert: too many say that these funds cause irritation of the scalp, itching, dandruff.
Textures and smells of shampoos are pleasant, they are well washed, although they do not give the usual thick foam. But alas, the feeling of dirty hair remains, and they don’t make it shine - almost every second customer notes it ... In fact, after any natural detergent, the hair should be rinsed with acidified (vinegar, citric acid) water - the shampoo is intended only for getting rid of dirt. Probably not all respondents about Siberik shampoos followed this rule.
But this is hardly the only thing. Let's look at the composition. For example, the Natural Shampoo Neutral Shampoo for sensitive scalp contains the following ingredients: derivatives of glucose, guar gum and coconut oil, extracts of medicinal plants such as string, chamomile, licorice. In addition, among the ingredients mentioned cellulose, designed to improve the texture of the product, and perfume composition. The effects of all organic and therefore very complex components are difficult to calculate. It is not surprising that they are even more likely to cause allergies than shampoos, which are usually dismissively referred to as “Chemistry!”. The main cleaning components of Natura Siberica are cocamidopropyl betaine (a derivative of coconut oil) and
lauryl glucoside (a derivative of glucose). These are really natural surfactants, quite affordable. But they have a striking feature - they wash very gently and delicately, even too much for oily hair. It should be noted that the composition of all Sibirika headwash products is based on these surfactants, and the caring oils and components are listed last in the composition, from which we can conclude that their concentration in the product is very small.
Owners of thin and dry hair really like Siberica shampoos because they clean very gently, do not require a balm - hair is easy to comb, can be used after keratin hair straightening (as you know, not all means can be used after it) . For some users, they do not irritate the scalp, unlike shampoos with SLS. There are women who have finally found a better hair detergent that they have ever used, and this particular brand.
So is it worth choosing a natural shampoo, succumbing to universal hysteria against the "chemistry" in cosmetics? Organics is the same chemistry, only more complex. It is important to find your product, and Siberica shampoos may indeed be ideal, but the inscription “natural” cannot guarantee this.
