We shampoo our hair to get dirt and oil out and keep our locks healthy and strong. But shampoos are loaded with chemicals that can strip the natural oils from the scalp, make the hair frizzy and also lead to other hair woes if the shampoo does not suit you. Switching to a home-made, herbal shampoo is your best bet to get beautiful hair without any of the side-effects of chemical-based shampoos. Here's the right way to shampoo your hair.
Many shampoos contain chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate which help produce foam to cleanse out the dirt and grease from your hair. But in the process of doing this, these chemicals also leech out natural oils from the scalp which are essential for your hair s nourishment. A natural alternative to avoid such extreme damage is to use shampoo made of herbal products like soapnut (reetha) with shikakai.
