Why to Ditch Your Commercial Hair Care Products
The Label Should Read, “Try Our Toxic Hair Cocktail!”
Most bathrooms are loaded with a laundry list of products that are chuck full of varied chemical cocktails.

Is Your Hair Greasy? Maybe it is Your Shampoo.
Growing up I was fascinated with the middle-ages. I loved the big castles, big dresses, and galant knights. However, there were a few things that made me very grateful for having the opportunity to live now instead of then. Shampoo for example. I couldn’t wrap my little brain around how some people only bathed a few times a year and they didn’t have shampoo. Their hair had to be super-dooper nasty, right?!
It never occurred to me that maybe my hair got super nasty if I skipped a shower because of my shampoo. Yes, you heard me. Our hair gets nasty because we strip our heads of natural oils. Then our bodies produce more oils to find balance, thus making it greasy.
