Organic haircare

For so long I've been using standard high street products for my daily shampoo and conditioner but have recently been trying out sulphate and paraben free alternatives. I have found that my hair has come up feeling a lot more clean and moisturised and that I need to wash my hair a lot less often. Studies of parabens and sulphates in beauty products have been linked with medical problems for some consumers  so that is why there is this alternative range of products that get a lot less exposure in the media but are available to buy. I really notice the difference when I use organic shampoos especially as my hair is fine and curly. Parabens are linked with preservatives that provide the product with a longer shelf life but are less productive at moisturising and strengthening the hair. Similarly, sulphates give the lather effect when washing the hair so the consumer feels they're getting a complete cleaning experience. Organic haircare doesn't lather up and foam as much but is gentler on the hair and scalp and I've found the effects to be softer, shinier and cleaner.
