Beautiful Healthy Hair on the Green

With all the focus on green energy and green products, can you take care of your
hair & help the environment? Definitely! Probably more than you think. The best
part is these tips will also improve the health of your hair.

• Wash your hair less frequently

You can start by washing your hair every other day. Depending on your hair type
you may even be able to wash as infrequently as twice a week. Your hair may seem
overly oily at first; however, given some time and your scalps oil production
will adjust. Hair care professionals are mostly in agreement that it is not
necessary and can be damaging to wash you hair daily. When you wash your hair
less frequently this provides your hair with more time to recover the natural
oils that are stripped away during the washing process. The natural oils in your
hair are the best hair product on the market for soft, shiny healthy hair.

• Limit the time in the shower

When you limit the time in the shower hot water and energy usage is being decreased. This helps the environment because water usage is down and energy is
being conserved.

• Rinse with cold water

By rinsing with cold water, hot water and energy are saved. The cold water helps
to close the pores in the skin and the follicles in the hair. This leads to
shinier and softer hair.

• Do not repeat

Most shampoo bottles suggest that you should wash your hair more than once. This
is not necessary. This extra wash cycle only strips your hair of more natural
oils and leads to shampoo waste.

• Buy hair care products that are natural & organic

Since your shampoo and conditioner are going straight down the drain, make sure
you are not sending toxic chemicals into the water supply. Natural & organic
hair care products are also much gentler thus preventing overly robbing your
hair of natural oils.

• Use recycled and biodegradable bottles

Search for hair care products that are bottled responsibly. This will help
reduce pollution and waste.
