';Organic'; shampoo that actually works well?

On a recent visit to local Whole Foods store I couldn't resist a temptation to buy a ';healthy organic'; shampoo. It turned out to be a total crop that was barely bubbling. Is it even possible to find a healthy item like this that actually works as good as a ';normal'; shampoo? Thanks :)';Organic'; shampoo that actually works well?
What was the brand you used? Sudsing is not a sign that the shampoo is working, btw, so it doesn't have to ';bubble'; at all.





It depends on what you mean by ';work as good as normal shampoo.'; Organic shampoos are better and healthier than regular shampoos because of the ingredients. Organic does not include the drying ingredient (SLS) that most regular shampoos contain, so it won't dry out your hair. Regular shampoos contain very harsh ingredients that strips your hair of its color and natural oils, and organic shampoos do not contain harsh ingredients. Organic products are made from ingredients that weren't subject to things like pesticides or chemicals when they were harvested and processed. These things are what makes organic hair care products better than normal hair products, not how good is suds.





Never judge a shampoo on how well it suds, because the chemicals that are used to form those suds, as I've heard from a hair professional, are also chemicals that *can* strip the hair. But, just like every other hair product, some will work better for your hair than others, so you'll have to experiment with different brands. I use bioInfusion (walgreens brand) organic shampoo and conditioner, but I want something that's certified organic so I'm going to switch to Giovanni products (http://www.giovannicosmetics.com). Other organic brands you can try besides Giovanni, Yes to carrots, Aubreys, Jason Organic, Burts Bees, Organix and many, many others. Some organic lines can be found at Walgreens or try another brand at your local health foods store.





Become aquanted with the ingredients that are included in many of these hair products and learn which ones are good and bad for the hair, like avoid mineral oil, petroleum and lanonlin, and look for those with natural oils and with water near the top of the ingredients list.





Since I've switched over to using natural and organic products my hair has never felt better and has never been in better condition. I don't have to worry about shampoos drying out my hair, and many of the organic products are so light that they barely cause build-up.





I doubt if Cream of Nature is organic.';Organic'; shampoo that actually works well?
