SO FRUSTRATING! Sometimes the very products we use to battle fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, thinning hair and more not only exacerbate these beauty bothers but also create new ones! That’s because harsh chemicals commonly used in many skin and hair products cause skin on the face, body and scalp to become irritated, red and inflamed, or worse, lead to allergic reactions. Sidestep these issues by opting for “clean beauty”—shampoos, lotions, scrubs and more that are infused with natural ingredients but do the job just as well sans chemicals. Here, our picks
THIN HAIR? SHAMPOO WITH RICE PROTEIN
It seems like a no-brainer to use a volumizing shampoo when you want to give your thin hair some oomph. However, many are formulated with sulfates, a cleansing agent that “contributes to dryness or scalp irritation and can impact the health of the hair and potentially contribute to increased shedding,” says trichologist Isfahan Chambers-Harris, Ph.D. Instead, use a sulfate-free shampoo made with rice proteins. Dr. Chambers-Harris says these proteins contain amino acids that strengthen and hydrate hair so it appears thick, shiny and healthy after just one wash.
