Organic hair shampoos

Many girls and women dream of beautiful hair. The health and appearance of the curls is influenced not only by nutrition, but also by the influence of environmental factors.

An important role is played by cosmetics, which you use to care for your hair. Washing and styling are incredibly traumatic procedures that can damage the already weak curls. Today, the fair sex more often pay attention to the labels and choose organic shampoos.

Certification

In modern cosmetics constantly harmful to the hair components, which can cause itching, dandruff and dryness. Distinguish organic shampoos help certificates of various organizations. For example, the Italian institute ICEA exercises strict control at all stages of production of organic and natural cosmetics.

In the world there are more than ten such certification companies that issue documents on compliance with high standards and requirements.

Careful, chemistry!

The second way to find an organic shampoo for hair is to study the composition of the product. Fundamental rules:

1. In natural cosmetics there should be no aggressive components: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), DMDN Hydantion, PEG- and Ceteareth, Fragrance. In other words, as part of the "right" shampoo, you will not find parabens, artificial colors and strong fragrances, oil products.

2. The order of the components directly indicates their concentration. At the beginning of the list, natural extracts and essential oils, herbal decoctions, should prevail among natural shampoos.

After the transition to gentle means for hair, some of the fair sex speak of disappointment. From the mass market and professional tools, organic shampoos for hair are quite different. Reviews indicate a specific smell, a more fluid texture, low foaming and increased consumption - all this is a fee for the absence of harmful chemical components. Unfortunately, to natural means hair sometimes gets used not at once.

Washing base

Separately, I would like to mention the "famous" component of SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate). This is an inexpensive washing base, which is obtained from coconut oil. For hair and skin, sodium lauryl sulfate is one of the most dangerous ingredients. It perfectly removes fat from the surface, therefore, in addition to the cosmetics industry, SLS is used in industry. Agree, it is at least strange to look after your favorite hair like a gel for cleaning your engine or washing your car. The analogue of sodium lauryl sulfate is SLES. Both substances are cheap and give abundant foam.

The basis for shampoo organic can consist of softer surfactants (surfactants), among which magnesia laureth sulfate, lauryl glucoside, cocoglucoside, cocoyl sodium and others.

"Organic" brands

Manufacturers of cosmetics pretty quickly caught the growing popularity of organic cosmetics. Natural hair shampoos of various price categories are produced by many brands today. The main problem of the fair sex is to find the best organic shampoo.

We present the list of the most popular brands:

1. Desert Essence.
2. Avalon Organics.
3. Natura Siberica.
4. "Recipes of Grandmother Agafia."

Desert Essence

The main mission of Desert Essence was initially the study of the beneficial properties of natural oils, but after research in the laboratory, specialists began to independently produce cosmetics. The quality of the American brand is confirmed by the certificates of USDA and NSF, according to which the organic matter content should be at least 70%.

Organic hair shampoo with coconut from Desert Essence is the undisputed favorite of Russian customers. This tool can restore health and shine to dry locks. Due to intensive moistening with coconut oil, the hair looks alive and well-groomed. The undoubted advantage of shampoo is its delicious smell of "tropical cocktail", and to achieve a better effect, the manufacturer advises using an air conditioner.

You can buy Desert Essence in Russian online stores, but when ordering from abroad organic products will cost at least twice as cheaply.

Avalon Organics

Another leader in the market of natural cosmetics is Avalon Organics. The company was established in the US in 1989, the products have also been tested by NSF and USDA specialists. As active ingredients in production, various oils, vitamin C, lavender extracts, rosemary, aloe juice, coenzyme Q10 are used.

The real best-seller in the world of natural cosmetics is Biotin B-Complex Therapy Thickening Shampoo. The composition is strengthened with an extract of oats, vitamin E and biotin, which allows you to give the locks volume, stimulate growth, reliably cleanse the skin and make them stronger and thicker. Promises of the manufacturer, of course, are impressive, but the representatives of the fair sex have an ambiguous opinion about this tool.

Like many organic shampoos, the Avalon Organics product has an unobtrusive and light aroma of citrus with an admixture of herbs. At first glance, the product cleans well and even eliminates the frequent washing of the head. However, the benefits of Biotin B-Complex Shampoo end there. After several applications, the fair sex representatives note the appearance of itching. In addition, the hair becomes more rigid, there is confusion, and proliferation increases.

Natura Siberica

After the leaders of the American market, we turn to domestic producers. Looking for inexpensive organic shampoos? The list continues Natura Siberica - the first Russian brand to introduce natural cosmetics on medicinal Siberian herbs and plants.

The quality of products is confirmed by several international certificates (ECOCERT, ICEA, BDIH). In search of the best samples, the company's specialists participate in unique expeditions. Three years ago the construction of the country's first organic farm began in Siberia. The work is carried out jointly with the indigenous peoples of the region.

Quality, natural composition and competent promotion have created Natura Siberica company an impeccable reputation not only in Russia, but also abroad. A series of hair products with sea buckthorn won the charming customers. Organic shampoos, conditioners, masks and oil complexes of a gentle orange shade with an incredible smell of ripe sea buckthorn cope with the tasks assigned to 100%.

"Deep Cleansing and Care"

In the rating of Natura Siberica the first place is occupied by "Sea-buckthorn shampoo: deep cleansing and care", intended for oily and normal hair. According to the promises of the manufacturer, the product reduces fragility, eliminates dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes, strengthens hair follicles and stimulates growth.

In addition to the oil of Altai sea-buckthorn, Moroccan oil, hawthorn, arctic raspberry, kuril tea and wild peppermint are also present.

Customer reviews note that sea-buckthorn shampoo has a good consistency and unobtrusive flavor. The product is consumed sparingly, does not confuse the hair and keeps the curls fresh for longer than regular shampoo. In addition, all bottles of Natura Siberica come with convenient dispensers.

"Recipes of Grandmother Agafia"

People's recipes even today do not lose their relevance. Women in Russia always had luxurious hair, which they courted with the help of egg yolks, nettles and other herbs, honey and oils.

In 2002, the company "Recipes grandmother Agafia" - the manufacturer of natural cosmetics appeared on the Russian market. According to the legend, the basis of the funds was the recipe of the Siberian herbalist Ermakova Agafia Tikhonovna. Unfortunately, in reality such a person did not exist, which, however, did not affect the quality of the brand's products.

It is worth noting that only a few hair products presented in the collections "Agafia's grandmother's recipes" are organic. Shampoos, reviews of which were voiced in our review, did not include aggressive SLS and SLES. However, not all products of the domestic brand guarantee a harmless set of components. For this reason, opinions about shampoos and conditioners are very different.

We advise you to carefully read the composition on the label, as well as to study customer testimonials. For example, a successful purchase will be "Traditional Siberian shampoo number 2", the basis of which is birch propolis. In addition, the composition contains essential oils of heather and ginseng, as well as nettle extract.

The product is intended for healing the scalp and repairing damaged hair. Shampoo carefully cleans, does not cause allergies and does not dry ends, but additional care in the form of balm or indelible oil ringlets is still necessary. It smells good enough and smells good. As for the composition, as a washing basis, the specialists of the company "Agafia's grandmother's Recipes" use a less aggressive substance - Magnesium Laureth Sulfate.
