The Importance Of Natural Hair Products
You made the switch to natural skin products. Congratulations! The next step is to treat your hair as you would treat your skin by choosing only natural hair products. How we wash and take care of our hair makes a big difference in its quality and health. It’s important to grow strong, thick, shiny hair by way of a healthy scalp and hair follicles and to do this you must avoid the same stripping, irritating, and drying regimens that were causing your skin problems.
Is your hair, dull and lifeless? Is your hair becoming thinner and difficult to manage? Does your hair seem to grow slowly? I hear your pain. Unfortunately, I was born with fine hair to begin with and years of abusing it with chemical laden hair products only worsened it.
I found out however, that I didn’t have to live with lifeless hair all of these years. Switching to natural hair products just keeps getting easier as more and more are becoming available on the internet. But first you must learn what chemicals are in your hair products that are destroying your hair so that you can avoid them.
You Can Have Healthy Hair Again
Regular shampoos and conditioners contain chemicals that coat the hair shaft and have built up over time. Removing these chemicals from your hair may take several months depending on how long your hair is, how long you have been using these chemicals and which ones you are using. Getting your healthy hair back will take time but it will be worth it in the long run.
* Sodium laurel sulfate is used to make your shampoo lather. I will never forget a hairdresser who told me that if the shampoo doesn’t lather well, it is no good. But, what I found out later is that it corrodes hair follicles making your hair fall out and hindering regrowth.
* Diethanolamine DEA and Cocamide DEA are also chemicals that help shampoo lather up. These chemicals will dry out your hair and make it unmanageable.
* Just as with skin care products, parabens, like methylparaben and propylparaben, are used as preservatives in many personal care products including shampoos and conditioners. One or more animal studies show brain, nervous system, or behavioral effects at moderate doses in addition to being harmful to the environment. Parabens only irritate skin leaving your scalp irritated.
* Formaldehyde, unfortunately, listed under different names, found in some shampoo products, is bad news! Excessive exposure can lead to hair loss. It’s cancerous and may cause headaches and respiratory problems.
I know, I know, too much information and too many ingredients to remember! You don’t necessarily have to memorize these ingredients; just purchase only truly natural hair products to get the buildup of unnecessary chemicals off of your scalp and hair follicles. The following natural shampoos will get you started.
