Clean Your Hair Without Using Shampoo

This might sound a bit odd, but there are ways you can clean your hair without using any shampoo. We’re advising you to try a new, easy, toxic-free way to take care of your hair. We’re not telling you to give up on your shampoo, but why not try cleaning your hair the natural way?

1. Shampoo Is A Detergent

Yes, shampoo cleans your hair, but it also removes the healthy oils from your scalp. These oils are naturally produced by your body and they protect your hair and keep it strong and soft.

Shampoo appeared in the early 20^th century and before that, people washed their hair with soap. The downside of using shampoo is that it made the scales on hair stand up, making the hair rougher and weaker.

2. Shampoo Contains Chemicals

Our skin is our biggest organ and it’s really porous. Substances can enter in our bloodstream through our skin and stay there for a long period of time. Many shampoos contain mineral oils, which are produced when gasoline is distilled from crude oil. This chemical gives your hair an artificial shine and it acts like a barrier on your scalp, preventing the release of healthy oil.
