Should we use natural organic products 4 EVERYTHING? skin, cleaning, etc. Organic shampoo leaves my hair oily!

Regular shampoo- I go at least a full day w/regular ';fresh'; hair, shall we say.


I used organic shampoo late last night and this morning I had such a horrible itchiness in my hair that I had to shower instantly!


What is going on?


And do all products have so many toxins and chemicals that we should evolve completely into an all-out organic revolution?

Hi, there. Using organic products is definitely better for you. But ... a lot of shampoos marked ';organic'; or ';all-natural'; actually contain many of the same toxic chemicals that off-the-shelf products do. Be sure to avoid any product containing Sodium Lauryl or Laureth Sulfoacetate. Those products are known carcinogens that are absorbed by the body and which remain in one's system for over 10 years. As they accumulate, they have the capacity to become mutagenic and affect one's DNA.





Your itchy scalp the next day is probably a good indicator that you have a sensitivity/allergy to the product you tried. Try to find one that is as pure and simple as possible. A true Castille liquid soap should be good for your hair. Castille meaning that it's made out of Olive Oil and no other oils. If you can find a truly natural product that doesn't cause itching but does leave your hair a bit oily, try adding a few drops of tea tree oil to the bottle. You can also thin the shampoo with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Those aren't great remedies for the problem, but they will work.





As for the oiliness, I've had the same experience. One thing that might help is to rinse your hair in organic apple cider vinegar immediately after you shampoo. Use the cider as a rinse and then rinse with warm--not hot--water.





If you have access to any soapmakers in your area, I strongly recommend trying one of their shampoo bars or liquid soaps. I own an organic body care company, but you're best bet is to find someone local to you.





I feel your pain. Hang in there and keep searching. There are excellent products available!!
