Well, the time has finally come to reveal the truth about shampoos and dangerous chemicals found in some of the products we use on a daily basis for our hair.
My newly updated ebook, Natural Dandruff Treatments -natural non-chemical treatments for dandruff psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis - dealing with the 'root' of the problem- do you really want to know? has over 50 new pages of information that is sure to give answers to questions like, what is dandruff, what causes it, and how to cure it?
There are recipes in the book that you can put together that will combat dry hair and dry scalp. As you may know, beautiful hair comes from a healthy scalp and that's what NDT focuses on- how to obtain a healthy scalp--no matter what hair type or texture you have, or whether or not you have dandruff psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. Learning how to get and maintain a healthy scalp is good for anyone, right?
As you read through the following articles and lists, keep in mind that most of us are not going to the store and picking up a bottle of shampoo, toothpaste, or whatever, and reading labels. We are enamored at colorful labels with 'fluffy' words.
My purpose in sharing this information with you is to inform you and to encourage you to be a little more cautious the next time you purchase a product for your hair. Realize that the skin of your scalp is very porous and it actually absorbs the harmful chemicals into the body and can cause cancer and other sicknesses that you may not be aware of...do your research.
Included are links to reports from other sites that go into detail about some of the most common ingredients that are used in most of the popular brands of hair products today.
These reports are mainly about the ingredients used in anti-dandruff products on the market. As you read through and follow the links, you will become disgusted at what you discover.
