When it comes to hair care, the more natural you choose, the better. Perhaps that’s the reason why the manufacturers of haircare products are shifting towards natural-based formulations. People are slowly realizing the hard truth. Those unpronounceable names on the labels of their shampoos are doing no good to their hair. And the people are in no mood to attend complex chemistry classes to understand what these names are.
No wonder homemade hair mask for hair fall has suddenly found a lot of takers. Finally, people have realized the ill effects of chemicals on their hair. This is not all. The chemicals slowly and steadily seep into their bloodstream as they get absorbed by the scalp skin. This can also harm the organs.
The modern world is surprised by the alarming rise in cases of cancer all around, but this is no surprise, say doctors. Just look around you. Your world is full of chemicals!
