Hair - You’ve Gotta Love It!

Such a simple thing, and yet it can provide so much strength and confidence. The Bible had the immortal tale of Sampson and Delilah, the former drawing his massive strength from his famous locks until the latter sheared it off. From Cleopatra, Elizabeth I, and Marie Antoinette to Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy and, of course, her highness Lady Gaga iconic women and memorable hairstyles have gone together like silky-smooth locks through a luxurious comb. Why, we love hair so much we named a musical after it and sang about the wonder of Hair, “Long beautiful hair shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen” and so on. What’s more, because of that long-standing association between hair, style, power and respect, however you might personally feel about it, the fact that how you look influences how people react to and receive you (just ask Eliza Doolittle.)

As such, even if you’re not a fashionista, looking after your appearance in general and your hair in particular can have a big impact on your social and even professional prospects.

Whether you choose to “Flow it, show it long as God can grow it” or go for Katey Cuoco’s pixie look, you’re going to want to look into some first-class organic shower gels from leading all-natural sites such as www.myhealthymarket.com.

Take this opportunity to “brush up” on your knowledge of the hair care market today, and take a look at these five choice organic shower gels and the ways in which they can help put the sheen back into your lovely locks.

Exfoliating Dead Sea Shower Gel with Loufah Seeds

One of the most problematic things for anyone trying to take good care of their hair and keep it clean, smooth and retaining that special sheen that we all love so much is moisture balance. How can such a mundane-sounding thing cause such problems? Simply put, your hair folicies are extremely delicate, and as such are subject to drying out and becoming hard, bristly, brittle, or dull. On the flip side, of course, keeping your hair constantly wet not only gives you a rather “down” look, but can actually be harmful in the long-term with regards to the natural oils your scalp secretes and the manner in which they help maintain your hair. This “Dead Sea” offering offers a nice balance, working to maintain a proper degree of moisture while keeping your scalp feeling fresh and, as a bonus, exfoliating your skin.

Shower Gel & Shampoo for Men with Dead Sea Minerals

Continuing our (admittedly different) theme of shower gels with a Dead Sea vibe, this offering presents an alternative shampoo just for men.

Some might not think organic shower gels a particularly “manly” item. That said, we live in an era of ever-shifting gender roles, and in any case, that aforementioned song from Hair, extolling the virtues of “Hair, long beautiful hair?” That was sung by a man, and needless to say, Sampson is likewise a male (and very “masculine”) figure. Men, too, can enjoy the exfoliating, reinvigorating feeling that only the finest organic shower gels can provide, and this Dead Sea Minerals offering provides just that.

This offering features many of the best all-natural ingredients for those looking to protect their hair in a wide variety of ways, and includes: grape seed oil, Moroccan Argan oil, Shea butter, Papaya extract, sweet almond oil, Dead Sea minerals, Aloe Vera, chamomile, and vitamin E. All of these items work together to soothe your scalp and protect it against harmful outside influences, such as the sun.

Baldwin Shower Gel for Men

Let’s continue with another of those organic shower gels targeted specifically at men with this outing from Baldwin Shower Gel for Men. Baldwin claims to market this particular gel directly at those with “masculine skin,” so if you’re particularly rough and rugged, but want to look and feel nice and smooth for a date for significant other, than this might well be for you. The pH level of this organic shower gel, according to Baldwin, is able to withstand the natural acidity of human sweat, which is naturally important when considering a gel’s impact on one’s scalp. We as a species do tend to sweat a good deal, especially in the summer and even more so if you live somewhere hot like Los Angeles or Barcelona, and Baldwin’s could prove to be a powerful countermeasure to help you beat the heat and keep your hair soft and luxurious.

The Eo Everyone Series

Available in unscented, tropical, lavender and orange varieties, the Eo series definitely passes the “smell test.” It’s always nice to have choice, and this brand has it in spades. Lavender is a classy aroma, orange pleasant and tropical - well, that’s perfect for a night out on the town, or preparing for a night in with that special someone. Add to that the many bonuses there are to the composition of the Eo series - which are polysorbate free, disodium EDTA free, gluten free, and non-GMO verified - and you have yourself an organic shower gel that’s as healthy as it is varied and stylish.

Avalon Organics Bath and Shower Gel Refreshing Grapefruit and Geranium

To begin with, this final entry in our look at organic shower gels again makes use of an element which we’ve discussed quite a bit thus far, namely the aroma. As you might guess from the name, Avalon Organics’ offering gives a unique blend of grapefruit and geranium. Truth be told, that’s not a mixture that you see too often, so if you want to set yourself apart aromatically, this is a good option. Throw in some essential Oils with Arginine, Organic Aloe and gentle botanical cleansers, and this one will have you smelling like a winner.

Whether you’re a hair fanatic, like looking good to feel good or just want to look handsome for a date or professional for a meeting, this organic shower gels are the perfect way to keep your hair looking (and feeling) absolutely immaculate.
