Now today, we learn about what's going on our HEADS!

That's right.


HAIR PRODUCTS!


It should be no surprise after learning all that we have so far, that most hair products are loaded with parabens, phthalates, and sulfates which are highly toxic to our reproductive and endocrine systems! Not to mention, these are all irritants in many people and some are known carcinogens!

NOW... let me knock your socks off with this. Have you ever heard of going NO POO? 
​

I'm not talking about anything potty related.
I'm talking about using no shamPOO!
If you're even the slightest bit crunchy, you'll probably know the term.




The idea behind this is that shampoos not only contain dangerous chemicals and toxins, but that they are extremely harsh on our hair. It is not recommended to wash your hair daily, especially not with shampoos. Our hair actually needs those oils to stay healthy and strong! Often, when we remove standard shampoos and conditioners, it takes a few weeks for our hair to "detox", but the finished product is healthier, shinier, stronger, more vibrant hair.
