The 10 Best Organic Hair Styling Products

Want to have a good hair day, every day? Try these organic hair styling products!

By Diane Small

No matter what kind of hair we have, we all do our best to make it look good. We apply extensions, use expensive shampoos and conditioners, and buy all kinds of hair styling products. But did you know these can be chock-a-block with nasty chemicals?

It’s vital to only use natural styling products, for a lot of reasons. Here are a few of them.

Why you need natural hair styling products

Anyone who’s entered a busy hair salon knows how hairspray can cause a cough – and no wonder! Common chemicals found in hairspray are:

  • aerosol propellants
  • alcohol (very drying!)
  • polyvinylpyrrolidone plastic (which is a carcinogen)
  • formaldehyde
  • artificial fragrance (they can put literally whatever they like in this and not tell you. Legally, ‘fragrance’ is considered a ‘trade secret’. So unless the ingredients for a perfume are listed in a product, assume they’re bad).

These ingredients can cause a variety of serious health issues, including:

  • low blood pressure
  • breathing difficulty
  • irritation of the skin, eyes and lungs
  • and even a coma.

Over extended use, these chemicals also increase the risk of developing the lung disease thesaurosis, as well as cancer.

Hair gel isn’t much better. While it’s not as volatile due to the fact that it’s not sprayed, it normally contains:

  • parabens
  • propylene
  • formaldehyde
  • phthalates

and other nasty chemicals. These are absorbed by your hands and scalp, and can hurt your health over the long run, as most of what’s listed above is carcinogenic. And let’s not forget they can damage your hair, too!

So thank goodness there are several new chemical free hair styling products to choose from, no matter what your hair care needs may be. And if you’re going chemical free, why not go full on organic?

Yes, organic ingredients DO matter!

We’ve covered natural shampoos before. And while that is clearly a popular and growing market, it seems the development of organic and natural styling products was slightly slower. Whether we’re talking shampoo or styling ranges, organic ingredients do make a difference.

The main reason? Even if a brand touts itself as ‘natural’, if it’s not organic, you might be getting a lot of second hand toxins. That could be thanks to the pesticides sprayed on the ‘natural’ ingredients in the bottle. Sneaky, right? Of course, organic ingredients will be free of all those.

But even with ‘organic’ on the label, you need to take care. In some countries, there might be 100 nasty chemicals in a product. But if there’s, say, some organic lemon extract, the product might be allowed to use the word ‘organic’ on the label. Yipes!

But never fear. Here, we’ve found what we think are some of the best organic hair styling products on the market, chosen for the efficacy, naturalness and delicious scents.

10 Of The Best Organic Hair Styling Products

    But at the same time my main concern it should not harm my scalp as my hair growth is very very slow ..
    Plse advise the right type of styling gel i shld use to give my hair wet n great look
    thank you

  2. I usually use Kahina Argan Oil to massage my hair before sleeping. I dyed my hair and from then, I suffer from dry hair. I afraid of chemical treatment can dรƒยขmge my hair again so I came to organic products and this argan oil is the best. My hair is smooth now, but it is still a bit dry. Do you have any recommendation to improve it?

  3. GKhair Serum makes the best in my opinion. It nourishes dry hair and instantly fights hair frizz and flyaways if there is any. It creates a protective shield over each hair strand leaving a soft smooth finish. The best cure to a soft smooth finish I can SAY that. Love this hair serum so much. ๐Ÿ™‚ <3
