Our hair is one of the most important aspects of our appearance, and many of us are willing to go to great lengths to keep it looking beautiful. However, many commercial hair care products contain harsh chemicals that can be damaging to both our hair and our health. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the harsh chemicals that can be found in hair care products and the benefits of using organic hair color and hair care products such as those manufactured by Surface and carried at Bridgette's Beauty Bar.
Harsh Chemicals in Hair Care Products
Ammonia: Ammonia is a chemical commonly used in hair dyes to open up the hair cuticle and allow the color to penetrate. However, ammonia can cause irritation, damage, and dryness to the hair and scalp.
Parabens: Parabens are preservatives used in many hair care products to prolong shelf life. They have been linked to hormone disruption, allergic reactions, and skin irritation.
Sulfates: Sulfates are a common ingredient found in shampoos and conditioners that create a lathering effect. However, sulfates can strip the hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness, breakage, and scalp irritation.
Phthalates: Phthalates are chemicals used to enhance fragrances in hair care products. They have been linked to hormone disruption and have been found to accumulate in the body over time.
Benefits of Using Organic Hair Color and Hair Care Products
No Harsh Chemicals: Organic hair color and hair care products, such as those manufactured by Surface and carried at Bridgette's Beauty Bar, are made with natural ingredients that are free from harsh chemicals such as ammonia, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. This makes them gentle on both the hair and scalp, reducing the risk of damage and irritation.
Safe for Sensitive Scalps: Organic hair color and hair care products are ideal for people with sensitive scalps or allergies as they do not contain any harsh chemicals that can cause irritation or allergic reactions.
Natural and Sustainable: Organic hair color and hair care products are made with natural and sustainable ingredients that are good for both the hair and the environment. They are free from synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, and other harmful chemicals, making them a safer and more eco-friendly choice.
Long-Lasting Results: Contrary to popular belief, organic hair color and hair care products can provide long-lasting results. They contain natural ingredients that are gentle yet effective in coloring and nourishing the hair.
It's important to be mindful of the ingredients in hair care products. Organic hair color and hair care products are a safer and more sustainable option, and are made with natural ingredients that are free from harsh chemicals. I've done a ton of research and testing over the years and I'm so happy with the organic hair color and hair care products that Surface has come up with. They are gentle on the hair and scalp while providing long-lasting and amazing results. Switching to organic hair care products is a small change that can make a big difference in our overall health and well-being and I'm proud to carry a line of products at my Beauty Bar that not only allows me make you look and feel beautiful but that is healthier for you and the environment!
