Herbal shampoo or bad hair day?

Botanicals natural hair shampoosAccording to Healthy Pages, the online resource for complimentary therapists, people who use herbal shampoo say that it makes their hair grow faster.

The article in this month’s issue stated: “Hair loss is a natural – although unwanted result – of getting older, and many people go to great lengths to stop it disappearing. Several herbs have been discovered to help in reducing the extent of hair loss and actually encourage healthy hair to grow faster”.

The article went on to explain: “Natural herbal shampoos work by enabling the herbs to be absorbed into the scalp, and it’s the effect of these herbs that lead to hair growth. The reason why home-made shampoos are proving more successful than their commercial counterparts is because they don’t contain the damaging chemical agents that the commercial ones do.”
