Yeah I'm glad that you got to change your habit to a natural shampoo and less frequent use of it. Our hair does a good job of keeping clean if we wash it with water daily I think!
My wife dyes her hair frequently and we've slowly started to get into the less toxic dyes but it does do damage to the hair sadly.
We used to live without all the chemicals around. People were much healthier in that way.
Now we are off the grid (almost) and have a septic tank, I am rethinking everything we flush.
Going back to cleaning with baking soda and vinegar. Etc.
Dying the hair is so bad… my original hair is blond but i always had it black or some crazy colours / combos hahaha
Now i have it half grown out and the bottom is half dark. It starts to itch to dye it again as it looks weird now as my hair is very longgggg. But we will see… 🤣😂
