You’ve tried natural skincare, but what about natural hair care? In case you missed it, natural shampoos are full of safe plant and herb extracts that can strengthen your hair and scalp without exposing it to harmful chemicals. And just like the rest of your skin, you hair is also desperately in need of bio-degradable ingredients. So bid farewell to those chemicals and allergenic shampoo.

Beauty Insider listed down some of the best organic and natural shampoo to help you maintain those healthy strands.

Benefits of Natural Shampoos

  • Non-allergenic. If you have dry, itchy scalp you may be sensitive to sulfates or synthetic fragrances. Switch to a natural shampoo (or alternate it with your favourite shampoo to see if you solves the problem.
  • Fragrant. Many natural shampoos contain concentrated plant or flower extracts that smell wonderful! And they also have a fresh, clean and subtle scent — perfect if you’re not a fan of heavy perfumes.
  • Eco-friendly. Natural shampoos use natural, bio-degradable ingredients that won’t contaminate water. They won’t create much lather (because they don’t have the chemicals that make the suds) but they still clean your hair just as well!
