What are exactly "natural" products for the hair care?
What does the word "natural" really mean shampoo or hair in a product?
I think nothing is more abused as "natural" in the beauty industry (a close second is "low fat", abused far from the food industry). Label after label mention this word letters proudly, preferably in light green. It helps of course to the buyer to believe that the product is than it really is that everything built and packaged by hand in some picturesque meadow dark natural rather than some and grey stock of machines to deceive.
In the purest sense of the word, a product would be really natural if at all, no chemicals contain it. If the list of ingredients of a product has no vague, chemical-sounding names, you can then say sure, that it is natural.
But to be honest, no product can completely "natural". If it were so, it would probably take on your shelf for more than a few days. So each shampoo has conditioner, tonic, and so on certain chemicals, when nothing but preservatives have to act.
A lot of Ayurvedic products said to be "natural". Ayurveda, which used an old Indian medicine, herbs, spices, fruit and other ingredients for formulating remedies, is largely chemical free. Home create Ayurveda cures, although many companies sell them online and on health stores these days. An Ayurvedic hair tonic, for example uses a mixture of coconut and Jasmine oil, together with extract of AMLA (Indian gooseberry), 'Shikakai' and henna. This mixture can be made at home and is absolutely fabulous for the hair.
Ayurveda, Is still on the edge of the hair care industry. Few people know about it and a larger proportion always still doubt its effectiveness. In the mainstream hair care and beauty, it is impossible to find completely natural products for hair care. One of the most respected companies in the business - Aveda - which I highly recommend, freely admits that his products largely by plants but refrain from, with the word "natural" is derived. Nevertheless, the company strives to use only the bare minimum amount of chemicals, and uses only those, which it extended the shelf life of products or which produce broth considered (consumer confidence hardly a shampoo produced no broth) and other aesthetic effects (color required smelling), etc.).
Synthetic substances in the list of ingredients are what you should be aware. Ingredient should either be derived from natural sources, or should explicitly a chemical. Aloe Vera and jojoba oil - two common ingredients in many hair care products - often come from synthetic sources, but are not as such in the list of ingredients be added to. So be very careful of products, the these two ingredients of promise.
I would also point out the fetishism which has come, the word course ' are associated with. Just because something is natural does not mean that it is really good for you. Petrochemicals are completely natural, but clog pores and very harmful for your hair. So instead of explicitly search for natural products for hair care, take a holistic overview of the product. If it tries to minimize the use of chemicals, and use of the synthetic versions of the ingredients is, you can be sure then that it's a good bet.
