Organic Hair Care Products

When your hair is weighed down by pollutants and unnatural chemicals, the best thing you can do to get rid of these byproducts is to use all natural, deep cleansing shampoos.  Once your hair is restored back to its natural state, it becomes as weightless and beautiful as it was meant to be.

If you've used conventional products for years, what you probably don't realize is that along with holding your 'do and taming your tresses, you are inhaling phthalates, artificial fragrances, aerosols and other possibly harmful chemicals. Especially if you use hair care products every day, getting those chemicals out of your life is a good precaution. (Bonus: it keeps them out of the environment, too.) Think about switching those that you use more commonly out first.

If you've never used natural hair care products before, don't be afraid of the ingredients lists in these concoctions; just because they contain oils and natural butters doesn't mean that they will make your hair oily or weigh it down; in fact natural oils can be good for the health of the scalp, and actually prevent dry or oily scalps and fend off dandruff.

Look for products with natural oils (coconut, carrot seed, etc.), natural butters (shea, cocoa, etc.), food-derived proteins and essential oils (lemon, orange, geranium, lavendar, etc.). Products to avoide:

> Parabens (methyl-, propyl-, butyl-paraben, etc.) 
> Sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate (SLS or SLES) 
> Petrolatum (Petroleum Jelly) 
> Propylene glycol 
> Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethalnolamine (TEA) 
> Imidazoldinyl, urea and diazolidinyl urea 
> Silicone 
> Ethoxylated ingredients (those starting with PEG- or ending with –ETH)
