Shampoos are used to clean our hair. They help clean our hair, make it soft and smell good. Some shampoos contain a special ingredient called cocamide DEA. This ingredient helps the shampoo to bubble with lather during usage.
According to some, cocamide DEA is potentially dangerous for our bodies. They claim that using too much may lead to issues. There is still research being done on the safety of cocamide DEA, within the shampoos we use.

While some are concerned about it, many still prefer shampoos that contain cocamide DEA. This is important because cocamide DEA is responsible for our shiny, clean hair. That fingernail-y feeling also makes the shampoo feel good when we wash our hair. Thus, using shampoos with cocamide DEA can not only help us in taking care of our hair but can also help us in looking good.

When we purchase shampoo, we can check the label to see whether it contains cocamide DEA. On the back of shampoo bottle list of ingredients. If that word appears on the list, it means the shampoo contains it: cocamide DEA.

Some are concerned that too much of something containing cocamide DEA is not good for us. It could also irritate skin or other problems, they believe. Which is why we only need to use just a tiny bit of shampoo when we wash our hair. If you have questions about cocamide DEA or any other ingredient in your shampoo, you can ask your parents or another adult to help you.
