You’ll appreciate knowing the benefits of the lifestyle choices you make. Every small choice can have big effects, so choose wisely. Here are 8 Need-to-Know benefits of choosing organic hair care, you couldn’t ask for better reasons to make the choices you do.
1. Avoiding Toxic Ingredients
When you buy quality organic hair care you can rest assured that you aren’t putting toxic chemicals on your scalp. These toxic chemicals get absorbed by your body, and let’s remember that your brain is just below your scalp.
The toxins you want to avoid in your hair care products are:
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfates
- Propylene Glycol (Antifreeze)
- Mureth Sulfate
- Olefin Sulfonate (Deodorized Kerosene)
- Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
- Siloxanes
- Derivatives of Lauryl Alcohol
Natural ingredients are safe, effective and gentle. They deliver results just as well as synthetic options, without the toxic load.
2. More Value
Yes organic products seem more expensive, but you are getting a higher quality product. You can buy cheap hair care, but it is cheap for a reason – because it is full of fillers. A potent organic product is going to be much more effective and deliver actual results. It is worth paying more money for.
3. Helping the Environment
The toxic ingredients in mainstream hair care products go down your drain and out into the environment, affecting everything they touch. Natural ingredients break down quicker then synthetic sulfates, parabens and petrochemicals.
Extracting and manufacturing these synthetic components create waste and pollution that has a detrimental effect on the environment.
Companies creating certified organic ingredients know where their ingredients come from. They use safe, Eco-friendly growing methods without the use of pesticides and other practices that pollute and damage the environment.
4. Supporting Small Companies
Many of the organic companies are small and family-run. There are some brands out there that are very large, but for the most part, when you buy organic you are supporting a small company with high values.
5. Targeted, Potent Ingredients
The ingredients contained in high quality organic hair care are better for your hair, the lack of harsh chemicals means that your hair won’t be stripped of it’s natural protection.
Organic hair care is usually formulated with top-notch ingredients that purely benefit your hair and scalp, they aren’t full of fillers that have no use other then to make a product cheaper.
Often these natural ingredients are added for specific hair concerns. Choosing a product for your needs is easier.
6. Avoid Product Build-Up
Synthetic ingredients coat your hair strands, leading to product build-up. Over time this will weaken your hair and lead to an unmanageable mane.
Natural ingredients work in harmony with your hair, their cleansers are strong enough to clean away dirt and oil but gentle enough not to strip your hairs natural oils.
7. Healthier Hair
You are avoiding harsh chemicals and using potent natural ingredients, this will help your hair retain its health and vitality. Many of the ingredients in organic hair care are there to nourish your hair and scalp, helping to stimulate new growth and preventing breakage.
Natural ingredients are readily absorbed by your hair strands, improving the cellular strength of each hair strand, repairing damage, regenerating follicle stem cells and renewing dormant hair cells, all allowing for healthier hair growth.
8. Giving Back
Many of the organic brands make sure that the people who harvest their ingredients are well taken care of, they give back to the communities that provide these ingredients. Many of them also give part of their proceeds to charity.
These companies are all about making the world a better place and they take and active role in achieving it.

Organic hair products tend to be more expensive compare to the chemically enhanced one but the price gap is not very wide. Using Organic products is safer to use than the chemically enhanced products.
You are so very right 🙂
I really like the idea of going out and helping a small family business when buying organic hair products. And since these products are so great anyways, it’s not like I’m really losing anything. In fact, I think I’ll buy some organic products online s gifts for my family this holiday season. I have three sisters, so I’ll be needing a lot of product!
Supporting small businesses is a great way to support families and local economies 🙂
My wife has recently decided to start avoiding regular hair products. As part of our new, natural lifestyle, she is considering looking into organic and natural products. I didn’t realize that the toxic ingredients from regular hair products could harm the environment. That is just another reason for us to start using organic and natural products!
