Healthy shampoo's... WHY DON'T THEY LATHER SO MUCH

Shampoos and body washes do not actually need to generate lots of suds and lather to CLEAN HAIR OR BODIES...........effectively. Lather doesn't really assist the cleansing process, except that it might make it easier for you to feel that your shampoo or body wash has been evenly distributed.
We've been conditioned to like lather. But many shampoos and body washes rely on inexpensive,petrochemical derived detergents such as sodium lauryl sulphates for
their foam building properties. These chemicals can dry out the hair and skin, and may cause allergic reactions as well as environmental problems. Our shampoos and body wash do not contain any synthetic ingredients or sulphates and so provide a modest lather.

Synthetic based shampoos deposit a layer of silica over the hair shaft -
creating the perception of shine and plumping up the hair. With
continued use of Certified Organic shampoo, it will start to break down and dissolve
this coating and you will notice it start to foam more. It will also
foam more on the second wash because the first application comes in
contact with more sebaceous oils. To speed up the process of this
detoxification, try the Clarifying Hair Rinse to cleanse the hair between shampooing and conditioning. Until then, it will seem as though the hair is flat and dry and the shampoo won't seem to lather much - but persevere, it is worth it!
