Organic Scalp Care

Taking Care of Your Hair the Organic Way

Beautiful hair complements your wardrobe, makeup and all the hours spend at the gym. Greasy, lifeless and dull hair can make you look less attractive and it is vital that you take good care of your hair. Lately a lot of information and articles have been released that contains warnings to consumers about the potential dangers lurking in cosmetic, skin care and hair care products. Organic hair care products are starting to look like a more attractive option and it is worth a look.

Our skin and scalp absorbs up to 60% of the products that we treat them with. This fact alone should motivate you to take a closer look at the products that you use and to make sure that they are really safe to use and good for your health. Companies are not always 100% truthful when they promote their products and will always focus on the perceived benefits to consumers.

Always read the label of the product that you want to buy carefully. If the product label contains ingredients such as parabens, triclosan, sodium lauryl, ammonium lauryl or names that are difficult to pronounce you should be concerned. A lot of hair care products contain chemicals and synthetically derived ingredients that may cause irritations, allergies and even cancer.

On the other hand organic hair care products contain ingredients derived from herbs, fruit extracts and plant extracts.  We have to start buying products based on the impact that they have on the environment and our health in general. Organic products are good for your health and using them cuts down on your exposure to chemicals and synthetic products.

The Benefits of Organic Hair Care Products:

• In general organic hair care products are not expensive to buy.
• Organic hair care products are available in most stores that sell cosmetics and also online at selective web stores.
• Products are eco friendly and biodegradable therefore adding no additional chemicals or synthetics to the environment.
• Natural ingredients derived from plant and fruit extracts are used making it allergy friendly.
• Organic products work as well, if not better, than traditional hair care products.

Tips for Taking Better Care of Your Hair:

• Switch to organic hair care products.
• Ensure that your hair is thoroughly wet before applying shampoo.
• Rinse your hair with cold water.
• Minimize exposure to heat by towel-drying your hair prior to using a hair dryer.
• Improve the condition of your hair by eating healthy food.
• Do not smoke.

Our health and the health of our loved ones should be a priority. When we decide on the products to use for our food, medicine, cosmetics, skin care and hair care, informed decisions should be made. The impact that the products we use have on the environment should also be a deciding factor. Using organic hair care products is a viable option and in general these products actually improve the condition of your hair. Organic hair care and organic skincare products are a viable alternative and you should consider giving it a try.

Good site to find healthy, natural hair/face/makeup products…?

I stopped using Pantene, Herbal Essenses, Sunsilk, Garnier, and all those other shampoo’s you see on so many commercials when I found a website called cosmeticsdatabase.com. Just click go straight to SkinDeep once you get there. Here you can learn the hazard rating of so many of your favourite products. Many have cancer causing agents, allergy causing, and much more. It includes things like deodorants, shampoo, face everything, makeup, nailcare. I’ve been using natural, organic shampoo’s ever since. Your skin and scalp soaks up all the chemicals you put on it. If you can’t pronounce something on the ingredients list, I’d be worried. (: Good luck and take care of yourself.

Skip the costs of natural products and make your own. It’s really easy and cheap.

I have a free acne routine which I regularly post on this board and other free and natural, non-toxic, non-petro body care and cleaning solutions.

The chemicals in cleaning products are even more hazardous than the toxins in body care products.

Thanks for stepping up and bringing this to the attention of others.
