Hair Products for Natural Black Hair.
There are many products that fall into or under the
"natural" and "organic" column. Generally the
label is related to the ingredients that are used.
While many companies use natural and organic ingredients
in their formulas, the product itself may not qualify
due to chemicals or parabens that are used as
preservatives.The good news is that this is
wide-spread through-out the hair care industry and it's
not something to really worry about.
Parabens are preservatives that help improve the
shelf-life of fluids such as styling aids, scalp
cleansers and conditioning treatments. The debate
is they are unsafe, but the jury is still out.
Sulfates on the other hand have been proven to hair
detrimental effects on hair - namely stripping color,
ruining relaxing or perm treatments and increasing
dryness and brittleness.
The use of natural ingredients for the surfactant
help enhance color, protect from color-fading and help
to retain the hydration necessary for many styles,
particularly natural black hairstyles. Using a
sulfate-free and paraben-free
shampoo for black hair will give color,
relaxing and styling a longer life - proving that some
natural products are good for your hair.
