The secret of organic hair products

Sometimes I post general information on organic hair products just so people who are reading this for the first time will be able to understand how important they really are. I found this hubpage that does a great job giving a high-level overview on why to go organic!

 

Having beautiful hair is one of main priorities when it comes to taking care of your appearance. That is why it is important to use products which will prevent your hair from becoming dry, thin, grey, lifeless and getting dandruff or even hair loss. Today, most shampoos and conditioners and the rest of hair products contain all kinds of harsh chemicals which lead to short term and long term hair issues. This is where organic hair products come in. Organic hair products are by far your best choice if you want to dodge any problems with your hair. Every hair product you can think of, now also exists in an organic form; from shampoos and conditioners,hair gels, sprays and hair repairs.

Organic Hair Products Benefits

First of all, they are 100% natural, meaning there are no harmful chemical ingredients involved and contain only natural plants and herbal extracts. Organic hair products do not have SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate). That means that they do not foam like the „normal“ shampoos. SLS is used in degreasing engines in industrial facilities, so obviously it is not good for your hair or your skin. Hair companies use SLS because they have established that consumer like to see that the product is „working“. SLS can irritate the skin and cause rashes and even more serious damages if used continuously for decades, especially if you are more of a sensitive type.

By applying organic hair products the hair root grows stronger and the follicles in your hair open up and grow faster. They are mild and hypoallergenic so anyone can use them. Of course, organic products do not perform animal testing and the organic ingredients are fully biodegradable which means that they are environment friendly. And one last thing, organic hair products are generally less expensive than chemical-based hair products. Of course, there are also expensive ones just like in any product category. But for a lower price you will get a better treatment. You can not beat that.

 

I also just want to add to this that if it doesn't say USDA organic then you might not be purchasing an actual organic hair product.
