Have you been choosing your hair care products based on how pretty the bottle looks or because it smells nice or because your favourite celebrity endorses it? Maybe it’s time to rethink your shopping strategies, because the pretty looking bottles might be filled with chemical cocktails that are leading to hair loss and texture that is dull and lifeless. Choosing eco-friendly hair care products, like the ones you can find with ease at Meolaa are the better choice for your hair and the planet too. Because they are made with no chemical ingredients, these products are neither damaging your hair, nor will they leach into the water and pollute the same. 

When you choose more carefully and consciously, you are giving your hair the love and attention that it needs. Pick a hair oil that nourishes your scalp and hair, a shampoo that will cleanse your hair gently, serums to protect your hair and so much more. At Meolaa, we curate and handpick only sustainable products, because chemical free living is what we promise you! 

Is there a difference between natural, organic and herbal hair care products?

There are so many reasons why you should consider letting go of the same chemical filled products that you had been using all this while and make that transition to products that are natural, organic, herbal and sustainable. But because there are so many terms in the air, getting some basic information about them would be a good idea. 

• Natural means that the ingredients used to make that product come from nature – so, it could be plant extracts, oils, fruits, seeds and even minerals. These are gentler on the scalp and hair and can reduce irritation, hair fall and dandruff. 

• Organic is a label that is actually hard to get – it means that the ingredients used have been grown without the use of any synthetic pesticides, herbicides or genetically modified organisms and are safe for the planet and you. 

• Herbal means products that are made with herbs and plant extracts, with specific focus on their beneficial properties. So, when you pick herbal hair care products, you can be sure that there are handpicked herbs and other such ingredients with specific benefits for your hair and scalp.

It is easy to get lost in the aisles of a supermarket trying to figure out which products are sustainable, eco friendly and organic, which is why at Meolaa, we assure you that you will find only sustainable haircare products, which will give you the kind of hair that you will fall in love with! This also means that your scalp will be healthier and your hair will grow longer and stronger. Here are some easy ways to pick eco friendly and sustainable products for your lovely locks:

• When you read the label of the product and you don’t see words such as sulfates, parabens, fragrance, colours etc, chances are that this product is ok for you.

• Organic and natural products tend to have certifications such as USDA Organic or EcoCert – checking these should give you more information. 

• Sustainable, organic, vegan will also mean that they have not been tested on any animals and are cruelty free. Vegan goes on to tell you that no animal-based products have been used. 

• When you choose something sustainable, it also means that it is better for the environment – biodegradable ingredients will break down easily, once washed off.

How will your hair benefit from eco friendly hair care products

When you decide to start using organic sustainable hair products, you can get ready to reap a host of benefits because these products do not have any chemicals in them, which could irritate your scalp, dry your hair out and ultimately lead to hair breakage, dandruff and other hair related problems. 

• Shampoo and conditioners – When you pick a shampoo that is free from parabens and sulfates, you are leaving the natural moisture of your scalp and hair and washing off only excess oil and dirt and grime. You can also choose organic conditioners that can nourish your curls, without harming them, give moisture to dry hair or reduce breakage.

• Hair oils, creams and masks – Herbal and natural oils, which have handpicked ingredients can nourish and hydrate your hair from within and give you better hair. There are plenty of hair creams and masks, that offer lasting nourishment and because they are made without any chemicals, they will not cause any problems either.
