Some of these ingredients, according to numerous sources are seemingly innocuous terms that sound like Yellow 6'ma carcinogen, and other less obvious things like "iodopropynyl." Why would anyone in a chemical laboratory in the head, probably dangerous, and the environment if safer alternatives can be poured?

Finally, many people avoid washing your hair, because - like many "necessary" products today - it encourages conspicuous consumption. If a person believes that shampoo is a must, you will be buying regularly. Many advocates of simple living commercial shampoos avoided for this reason alone.

The refusal, shampoo, does not mean that people do not clean your hair, however. Most people do not use the shampoo instead of in a safe, friendly environment: the use of baking soda, vinegar and lemon juice. Others simply use warm water and a brush. They refuse to make shampoo, and most are glad they do.
