Hair Care 101: Why Sulfate-Free Matters

Hair Care 101: Why Sulfate-Free Matters

The difference between cleansing your scalp and stripping your hair.

By Leyork Team|7 May 2026

Sulfates (SLS / SLES) are great at creating lather. They're also great at stripping the natural oils your scalp produces to protect your hair. Result: shiny in the shower, frizzy by lunchtime.

What we use instead

Leyork Shampoo uses coconut-derived cleansing agents that lift dirt and product buildup without disrupting the scalp's lipid layer. Combined with Peptides and Ceramides, you're cleansing and treating in the same step.

What changes

  • Less breakage by week 2.
  • Visible volume by week 4.
  • Color-treated hair stays vibrant 60% longer.

Pair with Leyork Conditioner for the full transformation.
