  What is the function of surfactants in hair dye?

  Posted by alasilva on March 28, 2021 at 5:17 pm

  Can anyone help me with a question?   

  In this hair dye composition (the powder part must be mixed with the liquid part to be applied to the hair), what is the function of Sodium lauryl sulfate?

  There’s a “emotional appeal” that hair dyes do not have surfactants.

  Thank you!

  It’s to help you wash it out after the coloring is done.
