    Chemical ingredients in Hair products
    I was told that certain ingredients, such as parafin wax, can clog the hair follicles of your scalp causing hair loss. However, I can not find a list of the ingredients (and their chemical name) one should avoid. Can anyone help me?

    Ingredients to avoid!
    Comfrey (allantoin)
    Alcohol
    DEA, MEA and TEA (diethanolamine, monoethanolamine and triethanolamine)
    DMDM Hydantoin & Urea (Imidazolidinyl)
    Fragrance
    FD&C Color Pigments
    Isopropyl alcohol (SD-40)
    Mineral Oil
    PEG (Polethylene glycol)
    Propylene Glycol (PG) and Butylene Glycol
    Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) & Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
    Triclosan

    This is a list to avoid of Skin Care products but some of these ingredients are in shampoo. It is the only list I have. I will do some research on the web and see if I can find one specifically for shampoo. There are so many bad ingredients in everything we put on our bodies.

    Natural hair products
    Hi
    About 6 months ago I started to use for my hair products as natural as possible. A friend of mine from romania recommended me a product line for hair based mainly on clay.I was very satisfied with the results and I will continue to use this products because I am more then satisfied with the results. I used a multi-mineral shampoo and after that a regenerating hair mask.
