No, you should not wash your hair with Dettol water.
Dettol is a disinfectant designed to kill germs and bacteria, and it is not formulated for use as a shampoo or hair cleanser. Using Dettol water on your hair and scalp can be harmful for the following reasons:
- pH Imbalance: The natural pH of your scalp is slightly acidic (between 4.5 and 5.5). Dettol can disrupt this natural pH balance, leading to irritation.
- Irritation and Allergic Reactions: Dettol contains chemicals that can irritate the skin and trigger allergic reactions in some individuals.
- Damage to Hair: Dettol isn't designed for hair and could strip it of natural oils, leading to dryness, brittleness, and damage.
- Not a Cleanser: Dettol does not contain cleansing agents that effectively remove dirt, oil, and product buildup from your hair.
Instead of Dettol, use a shampoo specifically formulated for your hair type and scalp condition. These shampoos are designed to cleanse gently while maintaining the natural pH balance.
