Did you know that unless you're using organic shampoo you could suffer from hair problems?
Approximately 90% of standard shampoos contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) - chemicals which the Journal of Toxicology refers to as "dangerous."
Another common ingredient is methylisothiazoline (MIT). According to researchers at the National Institute of Health, MIT could lead to neurological damage and many scientist believe that SLS is responsible for thinning of your hair.
The FDA allows many other chemicals to be used in standard hair shampoo.
This means that most of us are bathing our scalps in harmful chemicals every day!
The question is: Why do manufacturers uses these chemicals in their products in the first place?
Simple - they're cheap, which is the same reason why many of us purchase these harmful hair care products.
The research makes it clear that by changing our shampoo we can dramatically impact our health for the good.
Switching to an organic shampoo not only reduces our exposure to toxic ingredients, but it feeds our hair, our scalp and our entire body with healthful vitamins and minerals.
In fact, standard, chemical-laden shampoos have been linked with:
* Development of cataracts
* Deformed eye development in children
* Irritation to skin and scalp
* Deterioration of skin
* Hormone imbalance
* Cancer
It's estimated that our bodies absorb 60% of what we put on our skin - that includes shampoos and conditioners.
Because organic products are plant-based they are full of the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients our bodies need.
By reading the ingredients list on the back of the shampoo bottle will help you make sure you aren't exposing yourself to chemicals unnecessarily.
Avoiding chemicals is a great reason to switch your shampoo to a healthier option.
Some ingredients found in organic and natural hair shampoo products are lavender oil, coconut oil, chamomile and rosemary.
Other ingredients include cedar wood, which can help with dandruff and tea tree oil which is a natural antifungal and bactericide.
Choosing an organic shampoo can help prevent premature hair loss and can be of benefit to your overall health.
There are a wide variety of organic options available online and at most health food stores.
Or, you could make your own shampoo by following one of the several organic and natural shampoo recipes available online.
Whether you suffer from oily hair or dandruff, by taking the time to learn the benefits of each ingredient you will be able to customize your shampoo to meet your specific needs.
