What is a Natural Hair Care Product?

Updated: Apr 22, 2023

Using a natural hair care product is one of the outcomes of mankind’s reawakening to live a world free of harmful chemicals, which in the guise of making things safer and better to each and everyone of us, have ruled our lives for decades.

In an exceedingly modern world we live in today, everywhere you look mirrors the ingenuity of men who aimed to make life easier and less complicated for mankind. Ironically, the more modern our world becomes, the more complicated things are created, and the people who once sought for instant comfort now seek to go back to where they’ve began—in a natural and chemical-free lifestyle.


Using a natural hair care product is one of the outcomes of mankind’s reawakening to live a world free of harmful chemicals, which in the guise of making things safer and better to each and everyone of us, have ruled our lives for decades. Although these chemicals found in various products we use everyday, indeed, do give significant results in our activities or personal endeavors, such as beautifying ourselves, it has been proven that these being absorbed by our bodies would later on affect our health. The awareness to use chemical-free products, therefore, stemmed from the need not only to protect the world or environment we live in, but ultimately to save ourselves, specifically our health.


Natural hair care, however, does not absolutely mean applying sand or salt in cleaning our hair. It simply means being extra conscious in our hair care regimen like taking in proper nutrition and extra critical in choosing the appropriate natural hair care product, which are available in the store shelves just like the chemically-formulated brands.


What delineates a natural hair care product in the shelves is that it offers a hair care formulation that uses natural or organic substances such as herb and vitamin extracts. No natural hair care product, however, is 100% chemical-free. It only uses more natural elements and averts using unnecessary chemicals that would harm our health and the environment. All hair care products, for instance, cannot avoid putting sodium laurel sulfate, which is a chemical needed to produce foams and suds, as well as chemical preservatives to make the product last for a long time in the bottles.


Resorting to use a natural hair care product also promotes employment for farmers in local economies producing organic plants, which could be used as cosmetic agents not only by large cosmetic or hair care companies but also by those at home who prefer to concoct their own natural hair care product.


So the next time you pick that natural hair care product for yourself, start being proud of yourself because it already mirrors a priced environmental and social conscience that goes beyond getting that healthy bouncy and shiny beautiful hair.
