Making the switch to more natural beauty products? Your hair regimen might be a good place to start. We already showed you some eco-friendly shampoo bars to try, but if you're not quite ready to give up liquid shampoos, you still have the option to go natural. There are many natural liquid shampoos that have nourishing, plant-based formulas and are free from common shampoo ingredients like sulfates and silicones that can strip away color, protein, and natural oils.
Here are 10 natural shampoos to try now:
1. Beach Born Classy Not Brassy Purple Shampoo
Local brand Beach Born has a paraben- and sulfate-free alternative to purple shampoo-the kind that's best for those who regularly dye their hair. It'll help extend the life and color of your hair while maintaining its natural oils and proteins. It also contains vitamin B5 as well as tea tree and lavender essential oils for extra scalp nourishment.
