Because of these ingredients, we started to suffer from many types of hair problems, such as – hair fall, hair thinning & weak hair follicles. These harsh chemicals have a bad effect on our hair and it is true that we all have been using these types of shampoo unwillingly for many years. 

The reason behind this is – we weren’t aware of these types of things because there are many so-called shampoo product company lied to us on TV Ads. They often sell their stuff by saying this, our products contain 100 % natural ingredients. But, as far as I have researched, it ain’t true.

How to check the ingredients of shampoo

To check the ingredients of the shampoo or any product, all you need to do is – check the behind side of the container of shampoo. After this, you will get all ingredients that are included in your shampoo.

But, one more thing is – 

Some products mention their 100% ingredients and the rest of the products always hide their ingredient. In this case, you can easily get all 100% ingredients on the internet.

I know, one question would be arise in your mind and that is – The shampoo which we are using has already contained some of the ingredients, then is it not the best shampoo?? The answer is –

I already told you that some brands hide their ingredient, they only show us nearly 50-70% content. Moreover, most of the shampoo comes with ayurvedic ingredients but in very little amount. 

If any brand states that our shampoo is aloe vera or Brahmi based then, it is not necessary that, they contain 100 per cent of Brahmi or aloe vera. Most probably, products have only 1-5% out of 100%. I am not talking about all hair products companies.
