    Hello, please does anyone has experience with menthol and camphor in hair products?
    Do they cause hair to tangle or cause breakage?

    @Oladoo there are many industiel shampoos made with menthol so I guess with adequat level it will be fine to use it at least in shampoo.

    Menthol is used in shampoos. I see those are mostly marketed to men. I don’t think there are any benefits except for cooling effect. You can add 0.5-1% of menthol crystals to SLES and make simple SLES/CAPB shampoo
