Green Health – Here’s to your Hair

rock

Have you switched to all natural and organic hair care products yet? When my family went organic, this was one of the first things that we did because it was one of the easiest things to do. After reading about how porous the human scalp is and that it essentially absorbs everything that is put on it – we immediately switched.

As you probably know, traditional hair care products include a nasty list of toxins – everything from formaldehyde to ammonia. And these chemicals have horrible repercussions including cancer and possible blindness. These are definitely chemicals that I don’t want in on my head, let alone in my home.

I have heard that baking soda is the best thing to clean your hair with, since it leaves no residue. However, you can also choose from an array of all natural and organic products from your local health food store. Just make sure that you choose a real “natural” brand since there is a lot of greenwashing when it comes to these products. If you are unsure, check Skin Deep – my favorite resource for finding the best non-toxic products.

Do you use all natural and organic hair products?
Which are your favorites? Is there a brand that you have found works better than most?
