Basic Ingredients I avoid in products:

This is a really basic 101 list. For starters here's what you should avoid:


Sulphate in shampoo (because it strips hair of moisture), unless of course your conditioner is a super hero and can replace all the lost mositure. If you cannot trash you sulphate carrying shampoo, I suggest a goo pre-poo before the wash.


Mineral Oil/ paraffinum and Petrolatum (aka Vaseline-ish) in deep conditioners and moisturisers because this just creates an illusion of moistuised hair but it blocks and coats and adds nothing positive to the hair.

...-Paraben (s), this one is last on my list, I try to avoid it but can't always. Apparently its like MSG for hair. Google it!

Most organic and natural hair products (Burt bees, Giovanni, Carol's Daughter etc) have non of these ingredients but its always good to check to make sure you hair isn't getting crap.
