Most likely! Laurimide DEA is used in a shampoo to strip debris and add lather. It is also used in dishwashing detergent. If a person is experiencing hair loss or other scalp problems, it is advisable to avoid chemicals in shampoos such as:

1. Sodium laurel, laureate or laureth sulfate (SLS) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or ammonium laurel, laureth sulfate or sulfeth which have 7 day lives and damage follicles by acting as a degreasing agent. They are a gasoline derivatives.
2. Nitrosol diethelanolamine (DEA) or cocamide DEA – (cancer causing agent)
3. Alpha hydroxy acids – glycolic, lactic or malic acids
4. Ethelene oxide
5. Isopropyl alcohol
6. Mineral oil
7. Sodium Chloride – (table salt causing dry scalp)

These chemicals are found in over 95% of all commercial shampoos. There is evidence that these chemicals actually corrode the hair follicle and impair the ability of hair to grow. SLS seems to cause a dramatic decline in the hair growth cycle, prolonging the hair loss phase (normally three months) by a factor of eight. Simply removing the corrosive and irritating effects of these ingredients begins to restore the healthy function of the hair follicle.
