You probably never thought about it but your shampoo is very likely to contain silicone derivatives.
The Good thing is that silicone derivatives adds luster and sheen to your hair.
The Bad thing is that they cause tumor in lungs and thorax.
How they work
Silicone derivatives are use in 99% of the shampoos on the market today. They make the hair look shiny as they coat the hair in a plastic like rap. This might feel ok until you learn that the same plastic coat causes cancer when it is put on lab rats.
The problem
The answer is of course to start using a pure, natural shampoo without these toxins. But we then run in to a problem. If you change to a good shampoo your hair will detoxify.
It will become dry, knotty and literally feel like a birds nest. This happens when the coat is released from the hair unevenly. The natural detox process can take weeks but you can speed up the process.
How to detox your hair
There are 3 easy ways to do this
- Detox bath. Fill up the bath tub and add
1 cup sea salt
1 cup Apple cider vinegar
2 cups of baking soda
Lie down in the tub and let your hair swish around.- Wash your hair in a paste of shampoo and baking soda
- Wash your hair in a paste of shampoo and purifying clay mask
After wards
Then you’re done you will have naturally healthy hair. Now you are all set to start using natural hair care products which do not cause cancer, dandruff and allergic reactions.

Great tip. Not only do you have to watch shampoo you should also watch your skincare products. ingredients such as lanolin and mineral oils will leave a coating on your skin like saran wrap. It will also block anything that is trying to escape the body such as toxins.
I also agree that you should detox your body. There are so may hidden things in the ingredients of both products and our food. I have heard that the additive propylene glycol is a derivative of antifreeze. Propylene glycol is commonly used in lotions, shampoo, soap and I have even found it in certain salad dressings.
It’s quite scary when you think about what is being put into our food and products. I believe that this could be the cause of a lot of autoimmune disorders.
