Organic Hair ProductsTruly organic hair products can actually be hard to find, because use of the term organic by marketing companies is not governed by laws. This means that unscrupulous companies (and numbered amongst these are many big names and well-known high street brands!) utilize the words 'organic' and 'natural' purely to market and sell their products, whilst paying (at best) lip service to the real meaning of these words! When we say 'lip service' we mean that the producers of many 'famous' and widely promoted makes of hair products, advertised incessantly on TV, radio and appearing in magazines all the time, may (perhaps) add a tiny amount of natural ingredient (typically a small amount of extract from, say jojoba, or an astringent like a citrus fruit acid... although this may not even be from a natural source) just for the marketing benefits, whilst the rest of their formulation is all synthetic chemicals many with dubious qualities and that are possible potential health hazards (see out free Toxic Ingredients Guide for full information on these substances). Finding real organic hair products requires that you look for labelling that features, first and foremost, the Certified Organic seal from one of the recognized certifying bodies -- such as the USDA and the UK Soil Association, or especially the even more demanding standards of ACO -- Australian Certified Organic! Our recommendations for organic hair products come from the Miessence range of hair, skin and body care products, which are ACO, and USDA certified organic. These are all formulated using ONLY natural ingredients, and with the highest percentage of certified organic ingredients commercially available. There is a often a big difference in the 'genuineness' of even the so-called reputable 'organic' brands and you will only be able to see the difference by carefully studying the small print in the ingredients lists. There are many organic brands that still resort to some synthetic chemical preservatives -- even if they do try to minimize their use. The difference with Miessence organic hair products is that the time has been taken to develop products that are truly natural, and developed using only the natural preservative properties inherent in certain plant, herbal and botanical extracts. It took time and years of research, and of course does mean that the products cannot be 'cheap'! However -- users of this range of certified organic hair products have consistently reported incredible improvements in their hair quality after a short period of regular use. For your hair may be chronically damaged by the persistent use of chemical based hair products. You may be being 'fooled' by the chemical technology which tends to 'cover up' damage and porosity caused by chemicals like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, or its 'sister' Sodium Laureth Sulfate, by using waxes that temporarily provide an apparent look of health... but this is false! After a few months of consistently using these organic hair products your hair will regain its natural health, strength, volume, sheen and color... and you will never again be fooled by the marketing ploys and the false promises of the 'synthetic chemical' merchants.
