If we have straight hair we want curly, if we have curly we want straight. Owners of long and sleek want short and choppy and forever we will secretly lust after our best friends new hair do! Its a girls Birth Right to envy someone else’s tresses! But the one thing we all desire is healthy glossy locks!
So many hair care products exist on the market today promising to primp and preen your locks into dream hair! But lurking beneath the wonders of advertising slogans lie evil chemicals that dry your hair, make it brittle and cause allergies in your scalp and skin. A common ingredient in conventional conditioners is Lauramide DEA. It strips away important amino acids like serine, histamine and other hair and skin proteins, leaving hair dry and unmanageable and creating the need to use more conditioner.
Organic hair care brands on the other hand make it their business to stay away from these hazardous ingredients, leaving you with soft, managable and glossy hair. Once again Thank You to the Organic world for looking after us!
The best organic hair care products we have found are:
- Mukti wins hands down with their Bontanique Shampoo and Conditioner. This very French sounding concotion fills your bathroom with smells of Chamomile, Lavender and Mandarin and thanks to the blend of certified organic Avocado, Macademia and Safflower will leave your hair truly shiny and nourished! Yum!
- Hollistic Hair. OOOOOOOH so good! Smells like showering in a garden of flowers with the essence of Lavender and Palma Rosa. Leaves hair ridiculously soft!
- Also try pure Coconut or Jojoba Oil on the ends of your hair after washing for a deep conditioning treatment.
As with any cosmetics, make sure you read the ingredients list before you buy to ensure the Organic brands are what they say they are. So often we are duped into buying products that we think are natural and safe when really they are big pretenders! So read the ingredients and stay clear from the following chemicals in hair care:
Lauramide DEA
Parabens
Sodium Laurel Sulfates
Alcohol
Synthetic fragrances
