What's Wrong with Shampoo?
There is a large variety of reasons to reconsider using shampoo regularly (if at all). First, shampoos are detergents that contain harsh chemicals that throw your body's natural balance of oils out of whack. Second, they usually create a vicious cycle of dependency (ie- shampoo causes your scalp to overproduce oils, so you need to shampoo more often, which causes your scalp to produce even more oils in an effort to keep a balance, etc.) Third, shampoos and conditioners are quite expensive. Why pay so much to throw a bunch of harsh chemicals into your hair that create a vicious cycle? Fourth, corporations who produce shampoos and conditioners often use less than environmentally-friendly procedures, and make a huge profit doing so. Fifth, many of the producers test their products on animals in very inhumane ways. Sixth, the "disposable" bottles contribute to a huge waste of energy and oil (to produce them) as well as making the garbage heaps of non-biodegradable waste even bigger. Ok, I'll stop there because I think you see what I mean.
