Shampoo-Is It True?
It’s true: The ingredients in your shampoo can either support or damage your health.
As I began to explore and invest in clean body care, shampoo was certainly not one of the first products I looked into.
But I became really interested and dialed in when my face started breaking out in ways I’d never experienced.
I think I reexamined my whole life during this time! Funny how one small aspect of your life can completely derail everything else (can you relate?).
In all seriousness, as I explored what the cause of this acne could be, some common irritants in shampoo, like fragrances and sulfates, came to my attention.
It’s true: The ingredients in your shampoo can either support or damage your health.
It makes sense when you think about it. The shampoo you use doesn’t just stay in your hair — it soaks into your skin through your scalp, and the run-off inevitably seeps into your face and the rest of your body.
My body was clearly telling me that something needed to change. I explored switching to a clean shampoo to avoid the common irritants I’d researched.
I wound up buying a style of shampoo that, as a natural hair girlie, I couldn’t have imagined I’d try in a million years — a shampoo bar.
And I have to say I love it.
I love how it lathers. I love how clean my hair feels without drying out. I love the ingredients, and I feel good about how they support my health.
After trying some of their other products, too, I trust and adore the brand I chose.
Suspenseful enough?
