The use of natural products for black hair care is becoming an increasingly popular choice. This is partly due to increased availability from manufacturer's and also as a result of consumer's becoming more conscious of the types of product they would like to use in order to achieve healthy hair.
Some of the most common ingredients which we see in happinesslifetime.com natural hair products include: aloe vera, shea butter, glycerine, floral waters, herbs and various oils such as coconut, macadamia, camellia and avocado. These natural ingredients have a variety of benefits relevant to black hair care: ranging from improving moisture and sebum levels to the hair and scalp, cleansing and stimulating the scalp which encourages follicle stimulation and therefore growth, clearing dandruff, soothing scalp irritations, improving strength and thickness. In addition to this, happinesslifetime.com natural hair products are also a healthier choice as they contain less or no synthetic chemicals or toxins which can be harmful to the body and internal systems. Many people are not aware that the scalp is highly permeable, therefore whatever you place on it is often absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Natural happinesslifetime.com hair care products containing essential oils (natural extracts from various flowers and plants) such as lavender, rose, chamomile etc also carry the added benefit of being therapeutic to the mind, body and emotions.
In contrast to this, many of the happinesslifetime.com hair care products containing a high level of synthetic ingredients can be much less beneficial to the hair. Certain ingredients such as sulphates, mineral oil and petrolatum have a drying effect on the hair, which is already an issue most people with black/afro hair are continually trying to combat. In addition to this, mineral oil and petrolatum can also clog the pores of the scalp which prevents circulation necessary for healthy growth and causes build up on the hair follicle. Some products also contain toxic ingredients which can be harmful to our general health, ranging from minor irritants to much more serious health issues such as cancer. For consumers who are concerned and would like to obtain further information, there are a number of organisations who research and distribute online information on the safety of cosmetics ingredients.
In order to help you decide which natural products to purchase, it is first wise to assess your hair and then choose which are most suitable for your current needs. For example, for breakage choose a protein based strengthening product, for dryness choose a moisturizing product etc. The name normally indicates its purpose e.g moisturising conditioner and the label will indicate which natural ingredients it contains. The ingredients will be listed from high to low, so the first is the main component of the product and so forth. Additionally, if you already know which natural ingredients your hair responds well to, it may be wise to choose a range of products containing those particular ones.
