Bad hair days. We all have them and we all despise them. In fact, we’ve all had a bad hair day that has lead us to take drastic measures – some of which could result in weeks (if not months) of bad hair days. We’ve all had our turn staring in the mirror cringing at our hair. Because of these bad hair days the hair care is a billon dollar a year industry. That’s a lot of money!
There are so many types of hair and even more options and solutions for your hair needs that when you find a great product it’s worth its weight in gold! With the advances in hair care it also means the advances in research and technology has shown us that some of those ‘great’ hair products are actually causing more harm than good, not only to you but also to the environment. Yes, ladies, products other than just hair spray are harming the environment, it’s just the obvious culprit because of the cloud of mist it produces. Every time you wash or style your hair you are inhaling phthalates, artificial fragrances, aerosols, and other harmful chemicals.
Lucky for us though there are some people in the hair industry that have stayed on top of the game so that there are products on the market that are eco-friendly and just as effective as their popular conventional counterparts. When you think of natural and organic hair products your probably have visions of hippies, but that’s not the case anymore! The eco hair industry has come a long way to make their products eco chic. However, let’s be honest, some of those hippies do have long, bouncy, and luscious locks… am I wrong?

Great post Amanda!!! I was just writing a post for later this week about my own hair experience…not about products but about my latest effort to beat the frizzies! No, I don’t use organic hair products: I go for whatever will help tame my hair in the humidity. But you have made me think twice and I’ll look into these. Tell me: do you have a favorite? But I have a feeling your hair is very different from mine!
I did have the straightening process where there are NO chemicals, or rather absolutely no formaldehyde which all the older products had. I’ll discuss the brand in the post. So far, so good! I’ll post on Wednesday I think, so take a look.

I have used all of them, and they are all great. I think it really comes down to personal preference. I don’t have frizz so I cannot relate to your pain….but I will say that phalates and sulfates commonly found in hair products are very damaging to hair and skin. Damage will result in split ends, dryness and frizz! Organics that use all natural ingredients are gentler on the hair and skin and yield much better results!
