10 Benefits Of Choosing Natural Shampoo

To go natural or not? That is the question of the day as it pertains to shampoo and haircare. Countless individuals have questioned, “is natural shampoo better?” and while that’s a simple question, the answer is anything but.

First of all, “is natural shampoo better…than what?” Is it better than conventional shampoo? Than organic shampoo? Than not using shampoo at all? The answer to that last question is decidedly no, but knowing how, when, and why to use natural shampoo is still very important. What are the benefits of using natural shampoo? What can you gain from making the switch? These are points that we’ll discuss below.

What is Natural Shampoo?

Every hair care and beauty brand interprets the term “natural” differently. At Malie Organics, we vow to deliver nothing short of quality and authenticity for our customers. That’s why when we say “natural,” we mean it. 

Ours is considered some of the best natural shampoo you’ll find on the market because of what we include (and exclude) from our products. We’re very particular about the ingredients in our natural shampoos and only use those that will effectively cleanse, hydrate, and rejuvenate your hair.

Here’s what you’ll find in our products:

• Non-toxic formulas
• At least 70% organic ingredients
• Sun-safe, color-safe ingredients
• Botanical extracts

And here’s what you won’t find. Our natural shampoos are completely devoid of:

• Parabens
• Sulfates
• Phthalates
• Petrochemicals
• Mineral oil
• Silicone
• Gluten

While some conventional products may get the job done, they can be a little controversial because here’s always a chance that the additives and harsh chemicals in them will cause negative reactions and potentially detrimental effects. When you go natural, there’s simply less risk. Uncover the true beauty of your hair and get gorgeous, flowing locks with a top of the line natural shampoo from none other than Malie.

Benefits of Natural Shampoo

Find the right natural shampoo for your hair and you’ll never look back – well, unless you’re admiring how your hair is flowing behind you! While there are countless benefits of choosing natural products for your hair, some of the top reasons to make the switch are laid out below.

1 -  Gentle Yet Effective Cleansing

The key to finding a good natural shampoo is one that actually works. By this, we mean a product that removes dirt, debris, and excess oil without being harsh on your strands or scalp. After all, natural shampoo is only as good as it is effectively. When searching for the best natural shampoo, your priority should be to find one that is both gentle and effective. The combination of these two is what will make your hair stand out in the best of ways.

2 - Less Chemical Buildup

Not only do fewer chemicals in haircare products mean less chemical buildup on your scalp and strands, but this also reduces the risk of you absorbing chemicals in the rest of your body. Whenever we wash our hair, the ingredients in the shampoo are absorbed into the body to some degree. While you’re probably great about rinsing away the residue, it’s inevitable that some of what’s in your soap, shampoo, and conditioner will linger. Over time these ingredients could have compounding effects in the form of redness, dandruff, dryness, and more. Even at low levels of absorption, it’s still advisable to refrain from using products with harsh chemicals because why risk it? If there’s a better, more natural way to cleanse, and if it’s equally (if not more) effective, why not go that route?

3 - Healthy & Shiny Hair

Volume and shine are two things almost everyone is after when they’re looking for shampoo. Natural shampoo can give you the healthy, shiny hair you’ve always wanted when it contains the right ingredients. Take Malie Organics’ Koke’e Shampoo, for  example. Key beneficial ingredients such as avocado fruit oil, kukui nut oil, hydrolyzed quinoa protein, and macadamia nut oil lock in moisture that gives your hair a healthy shine plus lots of volume.

4 - Promotes Hair Growth 

Longer hair and more of it, please! Whether your goal is hair growth for length or you just want even distribution of hair all over your head, using a shampoo that promotes hair growth is essential. Natural shampoos help preserve the oils in the hair and scalp for head and hair health.

5 - Hydrating and Moisturizing

Hydration is the name of the game when it comes to natural shampoo. Unfortunately, many traditional shampoos you’ll find in drugstores contain ingredients that can be drying and too harsh. Natural shampoos tend to be better about giving you hydrating, moisturizing formulas that won’t dry out your strands. At the same time, the best ones are made with the right combination of ingredients that won’t weigh down your hair or leave it feeling greasy or oily.

6 - Non-Irritating for the Head, Scalp, and Body

High-quality natural shampoos are generally made with simple, nature-based ingredients, which tend to be better tolerated by the majority of individuals. There’s something called  the “drip-down effect” with shampoo – this is what happens when the lather travels down your neck, back, and body.

Natural hair care products are less likely to cause skin irritations and other negative side effects. While you should always review the entire ingredient profile of shampoos, conditioners, beauty oils, and other hair treatments prior to using them, there’s simply a better chance that products with natural ingredients will be safer for you all around.

7 - Safe for Color-Treated Hair

A really good natural shampoo can be formulated to preserve hair color, making it safe for people who dye their hair and like experimenting with unique styles. You don’t have to give up your personal expression of who you are to have healthy hair. With the right shampoo, you can have it all.

8 - Protects Hair from Sun Damage

Anyone who spends a lot of time in the sun (surfers, swimmers, beach lovers, etc.) needs a shampoo that will hold strong in the face of UV rays. One of the benefits of natural shampoo is that it can effectively shield your hair from the harmful rays of the sun without you needing to do anything extra. Just wash your hair as you normally would and let the sun air dry it. You’ll get sun-kissed hair and keep it safe at the same time!

9 - pH Balanced for Scalp Health

pH levels for healthy hair and a healthy scalp typically fall between 4.5 and 5.5.. This indicates that our skin is slightly acidic vs. alkaline. Having this level of acidity helps the hair cuticle retain moisture and remain healthy. Shampoo that’s too alkaline (i.e. too high of a pH) can result in excessive moisture loss, frizz and breakage. The best natural shampoo for hair will have a pH suitable for human hair to promote overall health and minimize damage.

10 - Environmentally Friendly Shampoo

Fewer harsh chemicals means a product that is better for the planet. At Malie Organics, we’re committed to reducing the impact our products have on the environment. We work hard to reduce our carbon footprint and use ingredients that are safe for both your body and the Earth.

Not only are the natural shampoos we make responsibly-sourced but so are the bottles in which they are housed. Malie Organics’ natural shampoo bottles are made of 100% Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) material, giving another life to packaging and plastics. This helps ensure that Earth’s extraordinary natural resources will bless future generations!
