The Benefits Of Using All-natural Shampoo

In addition to being free of harsh chemicals, all-natural shampoo is also effective in cleansing the scalp and hair, and providing essential nutrients to the hair follicles. All-natural shampoo is also typically more affordable than conventional shampoo, and is gentle enough for daily use.

There are many different recipes for all-natural shampoo, but the basic ingredients are usually the same. The most common ingredients in all-natural shampoo include:

Water: Water is the base of all-natural shampoo, and helps to dilute the other ingredients.

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS): SLS is a natural surfactant, which helps to create the lather in all-natural shampoo. SLS is derived from coconut oil, and is considered to be safe for use on the skin and scalp.

Coconut oil: Coconut oil is a natural emollient, which helps to moisturize the scalp and hair. Coconut oil is also effective in reducing dandruff and promoting hair growth.

Castile soap: Castile soap is a natural, gentle soap made from olive oil. Castile soap is effective in cleansing the hair and scalp, without stripping away natural oils.

Essential oils: Essential oils are used for their fragrance, and can also help to promote hair growth and reduce dandruff. Some of the most common essential oils used in all-natural shampoo include lavender, rosemary, and tea tree oil.

All-natural shampoo is a great alternative to conventional shampoo, and can be used daily to cleanse and nourish the hair and scalp.

In addition to being gentle on your hair and scalp, all-natural shampoo can also help to improve the overall condition of your hair. All-natural shampoo is also free from harsh chemicals and other artificial ingredients that can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle.

If you are looking for an all-natural shampoo that will give your hair the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and strong, look no further than Nourish Organic Shampoo. Nourish Organic Shampoo is made with all-natural ingredients, including aloe vera, jojoba oil, and chamomile, that work together to nourish and condition your hair.

In addition to being an all-natural and organic shampoo, Nourish Organic Shampoo is also sulfate-free, which means it will not strip your hair of its natural oils. Sulfates are harsh chemicals that are often used in shampoos to create a foaming action. However, sulfates can also strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. Nourish Organic Shampoo is also safe for color-treated hair, so you can use it without worrying about damaging your hair.

If you are looking for an all-natural and organic shampoo that will give your hair the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and strong, try Nourish Organic Shampoo.

Natural Detox for Maintaining Hair Health

Did you know that the appearance of hair can reflect health conditions? For example, thin hair, dull, and easily fall out indicates the owner may be iron deficient. Plus, hair is basically very easily damaged because every day is exposed to chemicals and environmental pollution. Therefore, hair care is as important as the care of other body parts. One way to treat it is by detoxing the hair.

Use baking soda

The use of baking soda that contains sodium bicarbonate can be one way to detox hair that can be done alone at home. The content of baking soda is believed to clean the remnants of chemical products that are still left in the hair shaft. How to use baking soda to detox hair is very easy. Just add one tablespoon of baking soda powder to the shampoo you will use. Afterward rub into the hair, especially the hair shaft, then rub and rinse thoroughly afterward.

Use olive oil

It is well known that olive oil has many health benefits, including hair. Yes, you can do hair detox with the help of olive oil which functions to coat the hair by moisturizing and protecting from damage.

The trick, heat a tablespoon of olive oil until warm, approximately heat 10-15 seconds. Then apply to the hair that is still dry and cover with a head covering made of plastic. Let stand for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water and shampoo as usual.

Use eggs

Chicken eggs contain protein and amino acids that can help restore strength, luster, and volume of your hair. Egg masks can also prevent split ends due to frequent dipping and exposure to hot steam.

How to use eggs as hair detoxification is by mixing one egg into a container that contains shampoo. After mixing, apply and massage the mixture into strands for your hair. Let stand for 15 minutes, then rinse using warm water.

Haircare, The Review

Dr Organic Virgin Coconut Oil Shampoo & Conditioner

I’ve always loved coconut, it all started at a young age when I found The Body Shops Coconut Hair Shine amongst my mums hair care products. I smelt it, tested it on my hair and begged her to let me keep it. After that my coconut obsession grew and I repurchased the same product for 6 years straight and on and off for a further 3 after that. Nowadays I tend to find coconut products a little harder to find, especially products that don’t smell too artificial. That’s where Dr Organic comes in…

Dr Organic is a natural and organic company with an extensive range of products that do not contain harsh chemicals, animal ingredients, mineral oils and do not test on animals. I picked up the Coconut Oil Shampoo and Conditioner (as well as the Coconut Oil Body Wash to ensure I was coconutified head to toe).

The first thing I should probably mention about this shampoo and conditioner is the smell. If you’ve ever been on holiday and had that man come round on the beach with fresh coconuts who chops them open then and there for you, that’s what this shampoo and conditioner smell like. That fresh, true coconut scent that I think is absolutely beautiful, no nasty artificial smell in sight (or sniff!). The Virgin Coconut Oil shampoo and conditioner are the 2nd natural shampoo and conditioner I have tried, the first being Naked Colour Protecting shampoo and conditioner (review here). The Dr Organic shampoo is the more purifying of the two, really giving my hair a deep clean without stripping any of my colour. The conditioner is also a lot thicker than the Naked Colour Protecting one, with a consistency much like that of a body butter rather than a body lotion. This is something I prefer as I have thick colour treated hair and I feel like the Virgin Coconut Oil conditioner does a much better job at conditioning my locks without the need to apply a leave in conditioner or hair oil afterwards. The Naked shampoo and conditioner do make my hair a little more shiny than Dr Organic’s offerings, but this also means that I have to wash my hair more regularly and as someone who only likes to wash their hair 3 times a week, that’s something I’m not particularly a fan of.

In comparison to the shampoo and conditioner by Naked that I previously tried and loved at the time, the Dr Organic Coconut range is by far the better option in my opinion. Not only does it smell amazing, the shampoo also lathers well for a natural product and both the shampoo and conditioner leave my hair feeling clean, lightweight, silky soft and moisturised. Furthermore, it does this without using ingredients that non-natural hair products use to give the impression of healthy hair such as silicones. The Dr Organic Virgin Coconut Oil shampoo and conditioner don’t just fool you into thinking you have healthy hair by covering it with ingredients that only coat the hairs shaft, the ingredients used really do penetrate the core of each hair strand, allowing you to truly have healthy hair rather than just thinking you do.

The Dr Organic Virgin Coconut Oil shampoo and conditioner is available in Holland and Baratt stores and online for £5.49 a 265ml bottle.

Naked Colour Protecting Shampoo & Conditioner

I’m usually a firm admirer of Aussie, Toni & Guy and Tigi Bedhead hair products but since I’ve been getting more and more into natural and organic products recently and I’ve been feeling like the hair products I’ve used previously have been creating too much build up and making my hair greasy quicker, I decided to give Naked a go.

Naked is a brand who claim to be 97% natural with the remaining 3% being made up of preservatives and they are free from nasties such as parabens, sodium laurel sulphate (SLS) and petrochemicals. They make haircare, body care and skincare products and are available in Boots, Superdrug and online. Oh and they even make products targeted at children too, toffee apple or banana and custard shampoo anyone!?

I picked up their Colour Protecting Shampoo and Conditioner which both smell particularly warm, spicy and to be quite honest a little Christmassy. The shampoo has a cinnamon and sunflower scent to it whereas the conditioner is sunflower and calendula. I thought these would be weird scents to have in your hair at first but I actually really love the smell. With all products that don’t contain SLS they don’t lather as much as typical shampoo’s and you really need to make sure your hair is thoroughly soaking wet which helps the little lather it does have to emulsify better. I felt a difference straight away after washing the shampoo out, my hair didn’t feel completely stripped and dry which was a pleasant surprise. Whilst squirting the conditioner out of the tube I thought it was a little thin in comparison to conditioners I’m used to and I know work on my slightly dry colour treated ends but again I was pleasantly surprised after washing it out.

I left my hair to dry naturally as I almost always do because it’s better for your hair (a.k.a I’m lazy, shhhh!) and was excited to find that my hair felt super clean, shiny, soft and lightweight without any build up in sight. Hoorah! I began swishing my hair left and right feeling like Kate Middleton herself and was rather chuffed with my new found £3.99 a bottle eco warrior bargains and now after another wash with these liquid wonderfulness’ I’m still walking around feeling like a little regal princess. Well, if you’ve got good hair you’re always going to look good no matter what right?
