Hair loss and hair thinning sufferers spend a lot of money each year in an attempt to treat their hair loss. According to The American Hair Loss Association, by the age of thirty-five two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of appreciable hair loss. And women make up 40% of American hair loss sufferers.

Here are some ingredients to avoid:

1. Phthalates also labeled as DBP or DEHP - are estrogenic even in the smallest of quantities and are suspected in causing early puberty, breast cancer and low sperm counts.

2. DEA and TEA (diethanolamine and triethanolmine), also labeled as cocamide-DEA or TEA-sodium lauryl sulfate, interacting with other ingredients making it carcinogenic.

3. Bronopol - a pesticide found in bug repellent with side effects including toxicity, reproductive and developmental problems, as well as, cancer.

4. DMDM (dimethyl dimethyl hydantoin) - trigger skin sensitivities, found in shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, baby wipes and sunscreen.

5. Parabens - used in combination with other chemicals, have been found in women with breast cancer (although not directly linked yet).

6. Imidazolidinyl Urea - often combined with parabens, it is the most widely used preservative in cosmetics. It is currently under investigation by the National Cancer Institute.

7. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate - used in over 1,000 body care and cosmetic products, including shampoo, toothpaste, lotion and skin cream. Studies have shown that over time, hair follicles deteriorate causing hair loss. Prolonged exposure can cause eye tissue damage, dermatitis, and canker sores.

The biggest benefit of using organic hair care products is having lots of hair which looks healthier and more beautiful. All ingredients in organic products should be made from organic plants and be chemical free. Only pure essential oils and organic ingredients are used in making the best organic hair care products.

When you buy products that advertise as cruelty free, you are using a product which did not subject animals to cruel testing experiments. It also means that no animal by-product was used in the making of the product. Needless pain and suffering that an animal must undergo for companies to test the ingredients that go into their products is distressing. There are other ways that ingredients can be tested without involving innocent animals.

When you choose to use hair care products with only organic ingredients instead of chemically based ones, your hair will feel and be more alive and healthier. Every time you purchase a product, you are voting for the ingredients in that product and for that company. To make sure companies use only the finest, natural products, only buy from companies whose products are organic so other companies will have to conform. All products should be non-toxic and biodegradable to protect the environment. Find companies which are earth, animal and people friendly.
