The world seems to have caught up on the all-natural wave. With the hazards of chemical products discussed widely and the benefits of natural products, most of us are always on the hunt for good natural beauty products that work wonders on our skin and hair.
The problem however is the abundance of products in the market and the inability to know if the product being marketed as natural, really is natural. Hit and trial are not only heavy on the pocket but also wrecks havoc on skin and hair.
The pollution and hard water are anyway quite harsh on our skin and hair and it is a risky bet to opt for chemical-laden products that will do more harm than good.
Here is how you can choose the right organic shampoo for your hair. The process of skimming through a truckload of natural shampoos to find the perfect one for you involves knowing how to read beauty product labels, avoiding the dangerous ingredients and sticking to the right option.
Finding the perfect herbal shampoo for you:
Know the ingredients: The reason most companies fool you into using their harsh chemical shampoos on your hair under the disguise of herbal shampoos is they count on your ignorance that you won’t pay close attention to the list of products. That is why we make it easier for you to keep the beauty predators at bay by knowing the ingredients and knowing what is good for your hair and what is not.
Below are some ingredients that you will not find in the best organic shampoos:
Fragrances: Fragrances in beauty products are made up of phthalates that cause various issues such as breast cancer and ADHD. They are also known to disrupt hormones and thus you must stay clear of them by any means.
Preservatives: In order to keep the products longer and prevent early spoilage, manufacturers add preservatives to the products. These preservatives include parabens or benzyl alcohol. These are carcinogenic and pose long-term dangers to health.
Surfactants: Surfactants are responsible for getting rid of grime and dirt and are harsh on the hair. Sulfates in hair products strip the hair of natural oils and cause them to be brittle. They also make the hair colour fade faster. If a shampoo is a truly herbal shampoo, it must not contain Sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureate These are not only harsh on hair but also bad for the environment.
Read the labels properly: Now that you know the ingredients to look out for to avoid, you must read the labels carefully to miss them anyhow. A good organic shampoo will not have these ingredients. Here are some good ingredients that indicate a good herbal shampoo:
Essential oils: Essential oils have nourishing and moisturizing properties that soothe the scalp and nourish the hair.
Natural plant extracts: The plant name followed by the word ‘extract’ will be mentioned in the list of ingredients if it is present in the natural shampoo. These mean that a natural part of the plant is included in the organic shampoo. Some nourishing plant extracts are calendula flower extract, horsetail extract and sweet orange extract. These extracts help encourage hair growth.
Choose a good brand of herbal shampoo: It is wise to not fall for the claims only by attractive packaging all false claims of all natural. A good brand will have good reviews and will do what it claims. A good brand is vesting your trust that the ingredients do good for your hair. You can opt for organic shampoos with promises such as hair moisturizing, frizz smoothing, scalp cleaning etc. Remember that good organic shampoos will not promise overnight results. Good effects are a result of patience and commitment to a hair care regime.

It is surprising to me that still there are so many people who do not think the shampoo and conditioner they use. They choose what feels right, which is on sale at the time to buy something based on their sales seen convincing. The choice of organic shampoo and conditioner is really no different to choose regular products.
However, there are some things you can do to make sure you buy the right product for your individual needs.
Ask your stylist!
Many people fail to utilize the best available resources to determine the best hair care products. Your stylist is already familiar with your hair type, color, or special chemical treatments you have had, and in general, the overall health of your hair.
Many hairdressers already use and recommend organic products, so chances are very good that he or she will not only have the perfect recommendation for you but also have products available for immediate purchase.
Know your hair type:
This is the general information that can also be obtained directly from your stylist. To ensure you choose the best treatment for your hair, you really need to know what type of hair you have. There are many types of hair skin types.
Read the label:
Many people switch to organic shampoo and conditioner because they have sensitive skin or skin allergies. Although organic products are natural, there is still a chance that you might be allergic to the ingredients used in the product. For example, some people are allergic to coconut. Many natural beauty products contain coconut oil, so we have to always make sure to read labels to make sure that we are not buying a product that will give me a case of hives.

There are some girls we all know that, no matter the occasion, always have hair that looks the part — healthy, glossy and full of life. Believe us, no matter how much they protest otherwise, having hair that exudes such vitality is no accident and will take effort on their behalf. Luckily, our five hair care tips that every girl should know will, if you embrace them, leave you hair looking sultry, sophisticated and ready for anything.
Don’t get hot and bothered
Excessive blow drying is a sure-fire way to damage your locks, as is overheating hair with styling tools. It may save time to put your curling irons on the highest setting, but doing so will cause harm to your hair and scalp in the long run. Try to avoid using heat-styling products on a daily basis.
It’s also important to refrain from blow-drying your hair immediately after shampooing. By allowing your hair to dry for fifteen minutes in a towel turban, you can turn down your hair dryer’s setting to minimum and ramp up your hair’s wow factor.
As well as avoiding heat, you also need to make sure that you are drying your hair correctly. To give your hair a lift that everybody will notice, always dry from a distance and constantly move your hair throughout the process. To prevent applying too much heat to a single area, aim to keep the hairdryer around two inches from your head and work upwards, blowdrying from the neckline to the crown of your head.
Shampoo and condition like a pro
Applying shampoo and conditioner might seem easy but there is a technique to getting it right. Make these shower suggestions part of your hair care routine and you’ll soon have hair that looks and feels glorious.
Size matters – Rather than dolloping shampoo on by the bucket load, a good rule of thumb is to apply shampoo in moderation. Aim for a blob around the size of a 20p coin, or, for longer hair, around the size of a 50p coin.
Shampoo the scalp – It’s a little known fact that you should shampoo the scalp and not the ends of your hair. Don’t worry that you aren’t getting all of your strands, as aiming for the scalp will see the shampoo rinse through your hair in the shower. To really detoxify your scalp, you want to make sure that you massage the shampoo vigorously into your head — doing so will encourage blood circulation and with it, healthy hair.
Considered conditioning – Having a good conditioning regime is, if anything, even more important than shampoo application, especially if you have coloured or curly hair.
As well as investing in high quality conditioners, apply them properly by towel-drying your hair before use. Having excess water in your hair will block the conditioner from entering the hair shafts and so will prevent your hair from receiving the moisture necessary to appear shiny and glossy.
Top Tip – No one wants greasy hair. To avoid it, never apply conditioner to the roots, focusing instead on the ends of your hair.
Use the right products
Nothing can be better for your hair than natural products — working with nature, rather than against it, is an effective way of giving your hair the nourishment it needs.
Source high-quality hair care products such as shampoos that are free from parabens and SLS and instead, use ones that contain natural ingredients and essential oils.
By using high end products that harness organic ingredients, you’ll soon see your hair in all its glory, just as nature intended.
Correct Damaged Hair
It’s a fact of life that hair, over time, becomes damaged. However, with a bit of thought and TLC, you can breathe life back into damaged locks and reclaim your hair’s silky-smooth appeal.
If you have hair that is dry, damaged or tired from heavy colour treatment, you need to kick start your hair’s revitalisation with specialised products.
Live well
Having a healthy lifestyle is a great way of encouraging healthy hair. To keep your hair nourished and hydrated, it’s important that you maintain a balanced diet that includes protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. It’s also vital that you stay well-hydrated — try to drink the recommended 2 litres of water per day to see a noticeable difference. For hair that has shine and bounce, see that your diet includes fresh fruit and veg as well as seeds and nuts.
Having beautiful hair doesn’t happen by default but, by taking these hair care tips to heart you’ll go a long way to having the beautiful, healthy looking hair that you’ve always dreamed of.
