Why should you stay away from chemical shampoo?

    Commercial shampoos that are sold in the market are full of chemicals that cause hair damage, and many problems, and we mention among these harmful substances :

Active ingredients

    They are the substances that make your shampoo foam, we usually think that the more foam, the cleaner hair will be, but this is not entirely true, there are substances that are only added to give the appearance of foam, but they are not effective.

    The active substances in shampoo are chemicals that are not necessarily toxic to humans, but they may cause serious irritation, and can harm aquatic life, due to the amount of shampoo that falls into the drain every time we wash our hair, so we prefer to avoid irritation, and create a safer environment by following How to make a natural shampoo without these chemical ingredients.

preservatives

    Commercial shampoos are full of preservatives that keep the shampoo safe for as long as possible, up to many years.

    These preservatives inhibit the growth of mold, bacteria, and fight fungi, so they are designed to kill organisms, so we conclude that they are substances that cause a range of toxicity problems for both humans and the environment.
