Treating yourself to a nice hot shower after a long day spent at work, battling the wintry elements or commuting can, undoubtedly, lift your spirits. Washing away all the stress of the day to prepare you for an evening spent relaxing, eating or spending time with loved ones can make you feel refreshed and calm. Many of us look to mainstream hair product brands time and again for a number of reasons, which can include for their high-quality finish, because we don't want to try something new or because we buy them out of force of habit. Yet, many contain harmful chemicals that can be damaging to your skin and body and are extremely harmful to the environment when produced and manufactured. There are many organic and natural alternatives that don't use synthetic colours and fragrances, or parabens and sulphates to get that same professional finish as many of the most popular brands in the high-street. In a world where we're becoming ever more conscious of the effect that our actions have on our bodies and the environment, organic products are coming to the forefront, standing for much more sustainable and beneficial beauty. Here are some fantastic organic hair products that we at
