Can I wash my hair with dishwashing agent [...]!


If it's an agent for dishwashing machines: Please DON'T!

Cleaning in dishwashing machines is performed in alkaline medium.

The tabs usually contain (among others):


alkaline compounds, such as sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide
bleaching agents, such as sodium perborate and sodium percarbonate
pentasodium triphosphate (to keep calcium and magnesium in solution)


The solution of these tabs is not meant to get in contact with skin and eyes.
