What Is In Your Shampoo???

ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN YOUR HAIRCARE PRODUCTS CONTRIBUTING TO HAIR LOSS, DANDRUFF, ITCHY SCALP AND BAD HAIR DAYS? 

Most people don't even consider these questions. Most of us go to the store and buy whatever brand we think will make our hair nice and shiny and manageable. Others think that as long as they buy theirs at the local health food store and it says "organic" and/or "natural" on the label, they are using a safe, natural shampoo on their hair.
This may surprise you, but I really believe that there is at least a 95% chance that the shampoo you are using right now is bad for your health......and your hair for that matter!

• DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE WORDS NATURAL, HERBAL OR ORGANIC ON THE LABEL!!!!!!!! READ THE INGREDIENTS LIST!!!!

Choosing the right shampoo can be pretty difficult since so many types and brands of shampoos are available. Deciphering the label is even more difficult so here are some tips to help you choose the right shampoo. 
The cosmetic industry has evolved very much and more and more cosmetics seem to pop out over night. Variety is a good thing, but it does make it hard to make a choice and might lead to choosing according to brand, price, even appearance. The best way to choose a shampoo is not by any of the reasons above. Choose a shampoo according to your hair type and the ingredients contained in the shampoo.

Shampoos can contain different ingredients, depending on the brand, the type of hair it is destined for and obviously the price. You can actually find a correlation between the price and the quality of the ingredients found in the shampoos, but this criteria isn't always a certainty. There are certain high priced brads which use several cheaper ingredients instead of the pricier ones.
  Here are some tips to help you choose the best shampoo for you:

find out your hair type and look for shampoos which are destined for caring exactly for your hair type. You can find shampoos which are meant for greasy hair, thin/fragile hair, dry/damaged hair, normal hair, colored hair, etc.

make sure you choose a shampoo which cleans the hair gently. This will be due to the mild ingredients it contains. It is a great idea to check the list of harmful chemicals found in shampoos and before you purchase a shampoo, confront the list of ingredients from the list and the shampoo

try to look for shampoos which contain natural ingredients like chamomile, lavender, tea tree oil, because they will be much healthier for your hair than any chemicals

choose a hair conditioner to soften your hair by reading the label of the product. You can choose a conditioner which is from the same brand as your shampoo or if you are not satisfied by the ingredients choose a different brand

Popular Chemicals You Should Avoid Putting In Your Hair:
Here are some very common chemicals, used in many popular shampoos, that could be making you sick:
