May well be the fact that they contain: Cationic surfactants
Here's what the product developers at ONEgroup, manufacturers of MiEssence (the World's First extensive range of Certified Organic body, hair & skin care products) report about the chemicals called Cationic Surfactants that are found is many other well-known brands of hair conditioner: -
Cationic surfactants ..." have a positive electrical charge. They contain a quaternary ammonium group and are often called "quats". These are used in hair conditioners, but originated from the paper and fabric industries as softeners and anti-static agents.
In the long run they cause the hair to become dry and brittle.
They are synthetic, irritating, allergenic and toxic, and oral intake of them can be lethal."
Maybe YOU won't be drinking hair conditioner any day soon - but sometimes the little ones do do silly things!...and anyway, products that contain Cationic Surfactants - do you really want these toxins around your home? Do you really want your kids getting 'into' the conditioner 'trap' knowing that it is a path to 'dry', 'brittle' hair? Have you been wondering why your own hair has gotten so parched and weak? Maybe these chemicals are the very reason.

Better still, why not just choose a 100% natural, certified organic conditioner from MiEssence that is simply a 'safer alternative' all round?
