Hair and "Natural" Products

As my long-term followers know, I have been working on changing my diet and have had some detoxing results.  One such result was it enabled me to get off all prescription medication and with the help of an herbal tea, I got my thyroid in check.  One rather annoying thing is the topic for today.  Over the past few months, I have had an issue where hygiene products that I have used for years have an intolerable odor to me.  Even being around others, they STINK!  It's their laundry soap, their make-up, their shampoo!  I already couldn't stand the scent of perfume.  Being in public is an assault on the nostrils!  I gladly give people that 6 feet of space because I don't want to smell them!  I have had to change the products I use on myself as well. 

Recently, the "natural" shampoo I have been using that has rosemary in it (GREAT for the hair and scalp) has made my head and face itch.  I am tired of playing product roulette!  For soap, I have been using Dr. Bonner's and it's amazing.  It is also 18 in 1 meaning it can be used on almost everything.  Including hair.  Now, in the past I tried that and it made my hair all sticky and nasty so I quit and went back to a product with the word "shampoo" on it.  This time around on the Dr. Bonners soap, after about 3 days of using it, my head started itching again and the sticky-nasty came back.  I realized this is simply cleaning the build-up of the fake natural products off of my hair.  I did some looking and it can take up to 6 weeks to get this crap out of my hair!  I'm going crazy with the itchy!  My hair is so sticky, I can't get a brush through it.  I am now washing it twice each day to try to expedite this. 

I share all of this to remind people that just because it says natural or has the word "natural" in the name, doesn't mean it is truly a clean product.  Do your research on the products you use on your body or get them from a trusted source or make them yourself.  Your health, or your hair, may depend on it!

If any of my friends sell natural products, send me your info and I'll add it to my one of the pages I have on here so people can find HEALTHY products easier.
