    What are the side effects of sodium chloride salt used in Shampoo? 
    Is it dry to hair if used in Shampoo? 
    If we can used CAPB and ja guar for Shampoo viscosity then is it necessary to use sodium chloride salt in Shampoo?

    There are no hair or skin side effects of salt in shampoo.  Salt is water soluble and is rinsed down the drain during use.

    You don’t have to use salt in shampoo for viscosity but it is usually the least expensive, most efficient and easiest option.

    In CAPB there is nearly 7% NaCl present . This salt of CAPB helps to increase viscosity in shampoo or other surfactants .
