Hair is produced from hair follicles in the scalp, and its main component is keratin. When you zoom in on your hair, you can clearly see the uneven hair cuticles (hair scales) on it, which look like fish scales. Shampooing is to remove dust and excess oil from the hair and scalp, but water and anionic surfactants used for decontamination will cause the hair to undergo a series of changes: the hair absorbs water and swells, becoming moist and soft, and silicone oil provides lubrication and protection. All the affected grease is washed away. If there are damaged and raised hair scales, the friction between the hairs will increase, causing the hair to become tangled together when combing, and the mutual friction will aggravate the damage to the hair scales. After the anionic surfactant removes the oil, it simply adsorbs on the hair. Wet, negatively charged hair can still stick together under the influence of water, but once they dry, they will completely fall apart, because people of the same sex repel each other and cannot live far away from each other.

The static electricity problem caused by anionic surfactants is easy to solve. We can just add some cations to the conditioner, such as quaternary ammonium salts. However, this still cannot solve a series of hair quality problems, including hair cuticle damage. This cannot be avoided by not combing your hair - in addition to combing, the chemical reagents, heat and ultraviolet rays in the sun during dyeing and perming can also cause serious damage to your hair. That's where grease comes in: lubrication to reduce the chance of hair damage while combing. The function of silicone oil is to adhere to the hair, fill in the damaged parts of the hair scales, and make the surface of the hair smoother, which is the "repair" function often mentioned in advertisements. The "repaired" hair is not only shiny and easy to comb, but also stronger.
