What to avoid in shampoos - why to go organic

There are tons of things to avoid when shopping for organic hair products . I did some research and came up with a quick list of ingredients you should try to avoid when selecting organic shampoos and conditioners. This list includes things that will dry your scalp out, can irritate oil glands and deteriorate hair follicles.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfates Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate Derivatives of Lauryl Alcohol

Mureth Sulfate Propylene Glycol (Antifreeze) Olefin Sulfonate (Deodorized Kerosene)

Doctor's Note: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is known to cause cataracts in adults and improper eye development in children.² Despite this knowledge, this ingredient is commonly used in most store-bought shampoos and conditioners.

Global Healing Center.com had those listed as the most common and I think it's a great list to get started with. Beware of those ingredients when shopping for organic hair products and keep you scalp build-up free.
