These days you will find that many people are making the choice to use more natural or all natural products in their daily lives. Natural cleaning products are being chosen over chemical cleaners and even more so, people are searching for natural alternatives for their body, skin and hair care. After all, who wants to use chemicals and synthetic materials on their body? Certainly not us, naturalistas! This change is not only great for us but it is also better for the environment.

Why Use Natural Ingredients in Your Haircare?

I don't know if you've ever tried to read the ingredients in some of your non-natural hair care products but often times you will see very long scientific words that are extremely hard to pronounce. However, there is one ingredient that I want you to look for. It is called Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), or Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES). This ingredient can be commonly found in the products you use daily like toothpaste, detergent and your hair and skincare products. This ingredient is added as a foaming agent and may be an irritant for those with sensitive skin but for those that are experiencing skin/scalp issues like eczema, psoriasis, dandruff or dermatitis, you may not be able to avoid products with this ingredient.

Natural Hair Requires Natural Haircare.

Our hair requires food and nourishment the same way that our bodies need food in order to stay vibrant and vitalized.  Most hair products work by going directly on the scalp and hair and from there it works its way into the hair shaft and follicles.  Human hair is made of dead cells but the follicles that are below the scalp are alive and that is where you need to focus your best efforts. Unlike harsh and synthetic hair care products, natural products can help improve hair growth by intensely nourishing the scalp. Naturally sourced ingredients are known to promote scalp health, reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation and are less likely to cause irritation, dryness, or breakage.

Natural Hair Products are Better for Your Health.

Natural Hair products reduce inflammatory and allergic reactions: Products with chemicals and artificial ingredients can cause irritation for some people. You may experience rashes, itchiness and discoloration and often times you won't know the cause of the irritation. Natural products do not have these negative side effects and therefore minimize the harm done to your body.

Natural Hair products reduce the risk of suffocation: The chemicals in non natural hair products can actually trigger migraines and headaches when inhaled for a long period of time. In an attempt to hide the smell of the materials they use to make their products, they add even more chemicals. Natural products have naturally occurring fragrances from their organic materials and therefore do not run into this problem.

Natural Hair products are milder on the hair: Artificial hair products are very harsh on your hair. They do real, consistent damage to the hair follicles and on the hair itself.  Natural products are naturally mild. They cannot do damage to your hair.
