5 Best Natural Shampoo and Conditioner Sets on a Budget

For some reason, our hair isn’t always treated the best. Sure, we might use shampoo and condition, but what about all the heat? All the styling? All the products?

Looking after our hair is so important, as it’s so easy for split ends, dryness, and breakages to occur.

However, did you know that sometimes the products that we think are cleaning and protecting our hair, are actually worse for us?

We’ve been thinking of new ways to improve the health of our hair, especially as the colder months head our way. So, we thought we’d list out favorite natural shampoos and conditioners, as well as some little hints and tips on how to find the perfect hair care.

Good Ingredients for Your Hair

So, what ingredients are suitable for your hair? What should you look for on those labels? We’ve researched it all for you.

• Coconut Oil - The is the go-to natural hair care product. If you see any product that has this infused in it, it’ll more than likely make your hair feel silky soft. You can even just use this, as is, as a hair mask.
• Green Tea - This helps to promote hair growth when applied to the roots. It’s also anti-inflammatory and encourages the regeneration of hair.
• Ginseng - Another excellent ingredient for its anti-inflammatory benefits
• Argan Oil - This helps to hydrate and soften your hair. It helps lifeless hair to look, well, more alive.

Now that we know the beneficial ingredients to look out for, what should we avoid at all costs?

Bad Ingredients for Your Hair

We’re all blissfully unaware that our favorite shampoos and conditioners contain toxic ingredients. These are:

• Sulfates - Sulfates are used in many shampoos, as they, admittedly, are excellent at removing dirt and oil. However, they are harsh on your hair and strip away the natural moisture that your hair has - leaving your hair to feel dry and unhealthy. 
• Parabens - These are xenoestrogens, this means that they mimic hormones that are found in the human body. They are believed to disrupt hormones and cause many problems.
• Fragrances -  The problem with feragrances is that you don’t really know what they are. Essential oils offer natural scent and are disclosed on the ingredients list.
• Polyethylene Glycol - Another ingredient that’s thought to interfere with the natural process of the body. Organic lovers avoid this ingredient at all costs.

These ingredients are generally used in hair care to give your short-term benefits, for a low price.

The Best Budget Natural Shampoos and Conditioners

The Puracy Organic Hair Care set has been developed by doctors - it gently cleanses all hair types, and leaves hair deeply hydrated.

It doesn’t contain any kind of harsh chemicals like sulfates or parabens.

The Acure Organics Mega Moisture duo uses pumpkin seed and argan oils, that clean and leave your hair looking shiny.

Pumpkin seeds help to promote hair growth, this is due to their high levels of zinc, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and magnesium.

Conclusion
