I've known long ago that investing in your hair is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Invest more on your health, skin, hair and body rather than on expensive bags, shoes or clothes.
Today, I want to share with you big bottled shampoo and conditioner products.
I have been using Love, Beauty and Planet products for a year now. I mainly like them because they use clear, big plastic bottles. If you haven't heard, only clear plastic bottles get the chance to be recycled and most colored shampoo bottles we get from the store almost never get recycled.
I also love them for their great aroma! Your head and hair have a big influence on how you smell. If you want to smell good without perfume, consider looking for mild but great smelling shampoo, conditioner and soap.
It was only last month that I stumbled upon Human Nature's big bottled shampoo and conditioner. They are significantly bigger than Love, Beauty and Planet's products. They also do not add SLS on their shampoo and conditioner. SLS or sodium lauryl sulfate is the substance that makes your shampoo bubble. Bubble cleans but bubble also strips your hair of its natural oil sometimes. If you suffer from brittle and dry hair, you might want to check sls-free hair products. Another thing that I like from Human Nature's products is that they have essential oils. However, one fear that I have is they might trigger acne or dandruff.
The big bottles cost around 600 to 700 pesos each and I believe it will last me for six months since I only wash my hair every other day.
I also want to share a concoction I made from various dried herbs and oils. I mixed three droppers full of castor oil and tea tree oil plus a few pinches of thyme, rosemary and lavender. I mixed them with water so it won't be oily on my hair. I have been using this for a month now and they make my hair and scalp feel nourished.
Haircare need not be expensive. If you are someone who is not on the position to spend some more for your hair, I recommend regular detangling, cold showers (hot water makes your hair dry) and not doing cheap treatments. It is better to maintain your normal hair that do something that might damage it in the long run.
