Why we use shampoo without silicones

Shampoo determines how clean your hair feels and also the long-term health of your hair and scalp. More and more people are consciously choosing silicone-free shampoos because they provide more lasting care and preserve the natural structure of the hair.

The vegan newkee shampoo natural also follows this path – free from silicones, parabens, microplastics, and fragrances. But why is silicone-free hair care so important?

What silicones in shampoos do

Silicones are synthetic compounds used in many conventional hair care products. In shampoo or conditioner, they coat the hair surface like a film, smoothing it visually and giving it a short-term shine.

However, this effect is only superficial. In the long term, silicone layers can build up and weigh down the hair. Nourishing ingredients can no longer penetrate the hair structure, leaving the hair looking dull and lifeless, even though it may appear shiny on the surface.

Why silicone-free hair care?

Choosing silicone-free shampoo means consciously foregoing short-term illusions and opting for genuine care. Without the sealing layer , other ingredients can work directly, strengthening the hair from within. The shine isn't created by an artificial coating, but reflects the hair's healthy structure. That's precisely why silicone-free hair care stands for stronger, more vibrant hair in the long run.

Ingredients of the newkee shampoo natural

The newkee shampoo natural proves that gentle cleansing and effective care are possible even without silicones. The vegan formula is fragrance-free and therefore ideal for sensitive scalps.

• Cocamidopropyl Betaine & Coco-Glucoside : gentle surfactants of plant origin that clean thoroughly without drying out.

• Glycerin & Inulin : provide moisture and make hair easier to comb.

• Panthenol : strengthens the hair root and soothes irritated scalp.

• Glyceryl Oleate : protects against moisture loss and keeps the hair structure supple.

• Urea, lactic acid & sodium lactate : regulate the moisture balance and support the skin barrier.

• Euphrasia and linden flower extract : have a soothing and calming effect.

• Vitamin E & Vitamin C derivative : as antioxidants, they protect against free radicals.

• Lecithin & plant lipids : strengthen the hair structure and provide suppleness.

This combination makes the shampoo an ideal base for a healthy, silicone-free hair care routine .

Benefits for hair and scalp

A shampoo without silicones, like the one from newkee, offers clear advantages:

• gentle cleaning without residue

• better absorption of nourishing substances

• regulated moisture balance

• healthy scalp without silicone build-up

• more volume and natural shine

People with fine, dry or sensitive hair particularly benefit from silicone-free formulas, as they preserve the natural structure and do not weigh the hair down.

Environmentally friendly formulation

Silicones are difficult to break down and pollute the environment. A silicone-free shampoo like newkee shampoo natural is free of microplastics, parabens, and synthetic fragrances – a plus for skin, hair, and the environment.

Transition phase – what you should know

When switching from a silicone-based to a silicone-free shampoo, hair may initially appear dull. This is because the old silicone layers are being washed away. However, after a few uses, the natural hair structure becomes visible – strengthened by plant-based ingredients and moisturizers. This creates a healthy foundation for shiny, strong hair.

Who is silicone-free hair care suitable for?

Suitable for all hair types. Silicone-free hair care is especially recommended for:

• fine hair that quickly looks flat

• dry ends or sensitive scalp

• curly hair that needs more bounce

• Fragrance allergies or sensitive skin

Those looking for a coordinated routine will find further products without perfume and irritating additives in the face category.

Silicones promise shine without actually conditioning the hair. Newkee shampoo natural proves that real shine is possible without artificial coatings. With mild surfactants, moisturizers, and plant extracts, it creates a holistic , silicone-free hair care regimen that keeps hair and scalp healthy.

Shampoo without silicones is therefore not a fashion trend, but a conscious decision for healthy hair, a balanced scalp and environmentally friendly care.
