It seems that one can hardly turn around without hearing some horror story or another about various harmful ingredients used in everyday products.
I had read long ago about the allegation that SLS can cause damage to hair follicles and thought "Yeah, yeah, yeah........not another thing to look out for on labelling"........but
I have waist length hair which is normally very thick. I have been using commercial shampoo for about 2 years now because I just could not be bothered to make shampoo and it is a standing joke that I shed like a Wookie. I mean, there is not a single room that escapes strands of my hair clinging to furniture and on the floor. I am constantly amazed that I am not bald yet.
Since using my own homemade shampoo this week I have noticed that there is barely any shedding happening, so it seems that there may be some truth to the rumour.
I know that annecdotal accounts are not considered clinical proof, but I am convinced. There is no way I am going back to commercial shampoo, no matter how convenient it is to just go out and buy some.
