Best Organic Shampoos

What are the best organic shampoos on the market today? That can be a little hard to define, because which shampoo is the best is going to depend upon many factors, such as availability, how the product works with your hair type and the cost of the product. However, there are a few tried and true options that will make any organic shampoo lover's heart sing.

The best organic shampoos are the ones that work with your hair type.

The Importance of Scalp Detox

If you've used shampoos and conditioners with a lot of byproducts and unusual chemicals, your hair may need to go through a detox process before you switch to an organic shampoo and/or conditioner. All of the chemicals and pollutants in the air also cause damage to your hair, making detox a vital part of any hair care routine.

There are several products on the market that will allow you to strip all the build up out of your hair, or you can use a simple home remedy.

• Morrocco Method Hair Care: While they offer many natural products for all hair types, their Zen Hair and Scalp Detox will work to help rid your hair of toxins and build up in preparation for using their other products. The company recommends you use the Detox once per season or about four times a year.
• Abba Pure Detox Shampoo: This product will help rid the hair of any heavy buildup of impurities. Contains molasses and baking soda as the main ingredients. It is completely free of any synthetic dies and has a pH level of 7-8.
• Real Purity: This line of natural products offers a Hair Repair Shampoo that cleans the scalp thoroughly. Use once every few months for best results. To use this every day might create dryness, so it should only be used to remove the hair of impurities in most cases. If you have extremely oily hair, you can try using once a week or so, but watch carefully for any dryness in the hair.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: This little kitchen ingredient has many uses for acne treatment, ridding feet of warts and even as a hair care product. Best of all, vinegar is extremely inexpensive and has multiple uses, including cooking and cleaning. There are a couple of ways you can use apple cider vinegar. You can pour it on your hair and scalp, work it in and follow with a complete rinse. Some people like to also shampoo their hair after rinsing. Be very careful not to get any of this in your eyes, as it will sting. If you do get in your eyes, flush immediately with cold water. Another way that people use vinegar is to mix 1 Tablespoon in with 1 cup of water and use as a final rinse about once a week. This helps balance the natural pH in your hair. The vinegar will smell strong while hair is wet, but once it dries, you'll no longer be able to smell the vinegar.
