You
had your hair dyed, curled or bleached last year, and you just made another
color……You deserve to be the beautiful one! Yet your silk-like and good-looking
hair seems to be an old story. I was addicted to various hair colors and styles,
and it resulted in an enormous demand for haircare products. Some girls have
tried the highest-rated products yet their efforts were in vain. “Which bottle
shall I purchase next?” is often asked by girls with dried-out hair resulted by
excessive, harsh style treatments.
Why
did you buy the shampoos that you purchased recently? We bought them
with thousands of reasons but we seem to be never satisfied with their haircare
performances.
Attempt
natural haircare, as you see the old ones might not be the best for you. How
far are you willing to go for less-chemical products? Spend some months on the
trial.
Before The
Experiment, Understand “Shampoo”
The word “Shampoo” is derived from “champo”
(Hindi), which means to massage or press. As early as the 1500s people combined
soapberries and herbs to keep their hair clean. Shampoo has evolved over the years
and was identified to use a couple times a week at most. Shampoo, in the old
days, was recognized with a unitary usage to remove dirt from the scalp. Nobody
needed to get functions like hair conditioning, moisturizing, color
conservation or with good texture. On the contrary, now most of us desire a
multi-purpose shampoo to be the very initial step in haircare, to cure our
overstrained hair.
Less Is More
You ought to experiment an additive-free shampoo. It doesn’t mean to use a very
primordial (some can’t even produce the lather) shampoo. Jessa Blades, a
natural beauty artist, suggests avoiding:
-
Parabens (A preservative)
-
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (A lather-producing agent)
-
Petrolatum (Creates shiny hair)
-
Propylene Glycol (Hair becomes smooth)
-
Dimethicone (Lubricates the surface of the hair),
etc.
Using Dimethicone or not in haircare is still a controversial
issue. To me, I find the disadvantages of Dimethicone outweigh its benefits. I
value a shampoo that prepares hair for the next treatments. Yet, Dimethicone
adds another layer to one’s hair, builds up and makes the hair heavy. I highly
recommend a shampoo that simply clarifies the scalp (or even removes
Dimethicone). Clean up, and that’s enough.
Try
John Masters Organics Bare Unscented Shampoo. It features no Dimethicone, SLS and even fragrance. Organic
extracts of Chamomile, White Tea and Jojoba oil gently cleanse your hair.
I also like Melvita Expert Repairing Shampoo. It’s sulfate-free
with good properties of Rose Hip, Camellia and Calendula Flower Oils. If you
are concerned about your dry, damaged hair, let Melvita help you.
Make Use Of Good Herbs
We may not understand what the ingredients on the labels
of shampoos are about, but it seems likely we know some of the names of flowers
(or plants). I
must say it’s an experiment (or a trial) – elements you might not have faith in
them before. They are excellent nourishment indeed.
-
Argan, Camellia
and Jojoba Oil restore over-processed hair
-
Coconut
Oil and Aloe Vera keep scalp moisturized
-
Shea Butter
enhances the shine and color of hair
Yes
it’s okay to have a silicone-free conditioner. Andalou Argan Stem Cells Conditioner with
Argan Stem Cells help strengthen strands with less breakage. It results in healthier hair and creates an amplified volume.
Plant
Keratin, Biocymentine and Camelina work well for extremely damaged hair. RENE
FURTERER Absolue Keratine Ultimate Renewal Mask is a good choice for SOS
treatment.
I
love oils! 2 lovable oils, Certified Organic Argan and Linseed Oil, are key
ingredients of Olioseta Oro Del Marocco Oil Treatment for Blonde-Fine Hair
Argan and Linseed Oil.
Be Healthy
The
hair experiment requires you to consume more good food in order for it to
succeed more easily. Avocados, nuts, flaxseeds contain Protein, Omega-3 fatty acids
and iron that are hair-healthy while spinach, guava and sweet potatoes are also
good choices.
Haircare Is Very
Personal
That’s
the truth. So which bottle shall you purchase next? Having a relatively low-chemical
haircare routine means you are putting bounds to the drawbacks of harmful
substances to your hair. I must congratulate you if you have discovered your
ideal haircare. But keep trying, keep experimenting!
