Hair Health

I have been wondering this whole time that if eating better and taking supplements is good for you, then surely there must be better options and alternatives to the chemically laden hair care products in our bathrooms. I was right! Jordan Rubin briefly talks about in his book how cosmetics, fragrances and many hair products are full of toxins. Yet, we use them on a daily basis and lather them directly into our skin. The more I think about it, the more nervous I get.

I did some research and found a few helpful resources that I am going to give at a try:

Burt's Bees Shampoos and Conditioners:

These products are mostly all natural and use coconut and sunflower oils, as well as, other natural oils in place of harsh chemicals for your hair. One thing to watch out for though is that you will need to RINSE, RINSE, and  RINSE some more. These products do not lather as much (because they rely on your own hair oils and natural oils), and they are best used when you shampoo your hair sparingly...as in 2-3 times a week. It is recommended that you condition the ends of your hair every day in the shower though and use a deep cleanser once a week, especially if you use heat styling products.



There are some good deals online now! Right now you can get the 12 oz. Conditioner for free when you buy the Shampoo and Conditioner Value Pack for $8.00 (each normally is $8.00). Add enough to your cart (buy for 6 months) and get free shipping over $49.00. PLUS, at checkout you get a free lipgloss added to your cart. I love FREE stuff!

You can also join online The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and help push for stronger legislation to remove known carcinogens out of well known cosmetic companies.
