If you have an itchy or flaky scalp, one of the simplest things you can try is washing your hair with an SLS-free shampoo. SLS-free shampoo does not contain the chemical Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, which is a foaming agent used by many of the big brands. SLS is a pretty powerful chemical which has several functions in shampoos. Unfortunately, not all of its effects are good, which is why it is sometimes mentioned in relation to scalp problems.
Natural hair care products are derived from plants and herbs and have been tried and tested over the years. Natural products give a natural fragrance to the hair too, which do not harm the hair unlike the artificial fragrance in many commercial products.
Many people wish to use more natural hair products safe in the knowledge that they are restricting the amount of chemicals absorbed into their bodies, a lot of the ingredients are safer for the environment, many have environmentally friendly packaging, and the products/ingredients have not been tested on animals.
More natural hair care products combine natural cleansing agents from Coconut and Wheat Amino Acids, with nourishing plant oils to provide gentle cleansing and conditioning for hair, without stripping it of natural oils and nutrients.
These gentle, effective formulations can be used for all hair types and are suitable for colour treated hair.
