There are many ways that your hair will benefit from using products that are made with naturally derived ingredients:
Shampoos made with chemical-free ingredients should not contain any sulfates (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate), which means your hair will NOT be stripped of its natural oils and moisture. Your average shampoos made with synthetic chemical ingredients harshly cleanse, de-grease and strip moisture away from your hair and scalp (and then use more chemicals to “coat” the hair to make it feel soft).
All-natural shampoos provide the utmost in gentle cleansing and give your hair and scalp a chance to respond the way that they are intended to, allowing your scalps’ natural oils and pH balance to normalize. It benefits all hair types, even those who have hair that is already dry and damaged from chemical processing, hair styling tools or even the environment.
You will find in using a natural shampoo that your hair may become less oily, allowing the time between washing your hair to be extended by a day or even two!
What are the drawbacks? Having a “lather-habit”. Chemical-based shampoos create a high “lather”, or foaming effect that most people expect and are used to. Shampoos without chemical sulfates are “low lathering”. For some reason, we are conditioned to believe that the more lather we obtain when we use a soap or cleansing product, the better it is working, which is not true. Once you understand what to expect in using an all-natural shampoo and that the hair is indeed effectively cleansed, then it’s just a change in mindset.
