INteresting little shampoo fact
LOL yep I am a dork, but i was researching for the best shampoo cause i need some new stuff (also does anyone else go through conditioner like 2 times faster than shampoo) LOL anyways I found this.
One of the worst of these chemicals is Sodium Laureth Sulphate - commonly known as SLS which is an aggressive cleaning and foaming agent commonly used as an engine degreaser. SLS has been proven to strip oils from and prematurely age your skin, damage eye membranes, retard healing, inhibit hair follicle growth and more, yet it's added to 90% of shampoos! Silicone is another harmful chemical used as an artificial shine enhancer in many leading brand conditioners. Yah I dont want to be putting something that you put in an engine in my hair. So i went and checked out the bottles in my shower i had 4 with that ingredient in them! INcluding the kids shampoo So I threw em out LOL and some good ones to look for Tea Tree Oil based shampoo. Tea Tree Oil is a fantastic anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory natural ingredient which will help to soothe your itchy scalp and prevent infections. Other great natural oils to look out for when choosing a shampoo or conditioner are Zinc Pyrithione and Jojoba. Zinc pyrithione is great at combating dandruff and as a cure for itchy scalp conditions. LOL I may be the only one completely fasinated by this but i am going shampoo shopping later!

A friend of mine freaked me out with this little fact when my oldest was a baby so we just use the natural shampoos for kids now. My daughters' all have dry hair though and the natural ones we have tried don't work great - leave their hair too squeaky clean. Does anyone know of a natural tear free shampoo for kids that works nicely for dry hair?

Yeah isn't it terrible? I'd have to look, but I think Aveda has been doing hair care products that are free of that stuff for years.

I know! It's scary. This is exactly why I asked for organic product recommendations yesterday. I'm in the process of finding products that will limit our chemical exposure. Scary stuff!
