Hair can be long and wavy, short and straight, frizzy and unmanageable, or smooth and shiny. Hair comes in many different lengths, styles, colours, and textures. Yet just about everyone — no matter what kind of hair they have — falls prey to at least one hair problem at some point in life. We know that many popular food items are loaded with toxic ingredients, but what you may not know is that shampoo and most of the other personal products we use every day are also full of bad stuff. What’s more, they are not strictly regulated by authorities that eliminate use of toxic chemicals. This means manufacturers can put in anything they want to, including cheap toxic chemicals with highly harmful effects on the body and hair
