Cleansing Your Hair vs Using Shampoo

Bloomfield Bath Hair Care Line

What's the difference between cleaning your hair with shampoo and cleaning it with a cleanser? The difference is shampoos dry your hair out. Shampoos are made with surfactants, that surrounds the oils in your hair and allows it to be rinsed away. Thus, causing your hair to become dry and brittle. Cleansing Conditioners are products that cleans your hair without stripping away the natural oils needed to keep your hair strong and healthy. Cleansers essentially conditions your hair will cleaning it. 

  We all grew up thinking shampoos should smell good, feel thick and make lots of bubbles. In order for this to happen, a few key ingredients has to be added. To clean the hair/scalp most shampoos contains an alkly benzene sulfate, tetrasodium EDTA is added to bind with the calcium and magnesium. This will rinse out of your hair without making scum, cocamide (PEG-5, DEA, MEA or TEA) to give the shampoo thickness and make the bubbles. And preservatives and fragrances are added as well. Each shampoo product may have their own variation of these ingredients or other elements maybe added. The result in the end is usually the same, hair that is stiff, fragile and may even have breakage. For those of you who have dry hair, using shampoo products is only making it worse. Dry hair will break easily, resulting in hair loss, split ends and of course it will damage your hair. 

Natural Cleansing Conditioners cleans and conditions your hair without the use of surfactants, detergents, or chemicals. They may contain ingredients such as amino acids to increase moisture levels, phytantroil for preventing split ends and reduce the damage cause by daily combing or heat, Vitamin C to help protect the hair against UV rays, and panthenol to help protect the hair from becoming frail or weak. Most natural cleansers contains essential oils and/or natural preservatives so the cleanser can smell good. Using cleansing conditioners will nourish your hair while cleaning without drying it out.

Scent...An Influential Sense

           

Every woman/man has a favorite scent they are drawn to or enjoy smelling. Some likes the fragrance of flowers while other enjoys a stronger musk type scent. I have always been partial to the soft fruit type smells. As I think back on my youth, I realize I have only had two favorite scents.(one being added only recently) I have always love the smell of coco butter. I actually grew up using coco butter to moisturize my hair and body. Companies have tried to introduce me to other smells, but that coconut fruit smell was the only scent I adored. Everything I purchased, from my shampoo to my soaps and lotions, had coconut oil or coconut butter infused in them.
              Later in life, I began searching for natural products that contained my favorite scent (coconuts). There are many natural products that contains coconut essential oils, but one product caught my attention. +Bloomfield Bath's Premium Body Butter. Their Premium Body Butter contains 40% unrefined, organic Shea Butter. In addition to the She Butter, Bloomfield Bath's Premium Body Butter contains: Virgin Coconut Oil, Coco Butter, Vitamin E and a host of other great ingredients that will benefit your skin. Once this body butter is rubbed onto your skin, it feels like your skin is getting the moisture needed to stay strong healthy and refresh. I finally found a product that is great for my skin and has my favorite scent. The bonus to all this, which had me smiling from ear to ear, is this body butter is 100% natural.  A win, win for me. While searching on Bloomfield Bath's website, I realized they have so many natural products to offer and there are additional scents available to add to the butters I love.

Best of all, there was a coconut scent available. It's call Coconut Cream. I was in heaven. I had my butter with Coconut Cream scent. I later found out I could get that same scent added to the soaps and polishes. So, now I can clean, exfoliate, and moisturize with the same aroma. To top it all off, the Cleanser and Conditioners has the coconut oil in their ingredients as well. Bloomfield Bath offered me a complete line of natural products to use that all contained my favorite scent. I was excited!
A year has passed and I am online ordering my products like normal, when I must have accidentally ordered my soap bar in a different scent. (Honey Almond) I didn't realized my mistake until I received my soap bars. The first thing I did was smell the soap to find out if I would be okay with this scent. I put the bars to my nose and took a deep whiff... Instantly, I felt as if I was in another place. That moment I determined, I was going to keeps those bars of soap. After a few days of using the Signature Soap Bars with the Honey Almond scent, I had added a new scent to my favorites list. Now, two years later, I use my Premium Body Butter, Polish and Signature Soap Bars all with the Honey Almond scent. I still love the coconut smells, especially the Coconut Cream scent, but Honey Almond has won me over. It is said that, "Nothing is more memorable than smell" and I can say my first sniff of Honey Almond has me now in its clasps and I am forever captivated with this scent. What is your favorite scent? What feelings do you sense when that fragrance embraces your nose? Always remember "[Your] sense of smell can be extraordinary evocative,", and for me every time I smell Honey Almond from Bloomfield Bath, I am taken to a place of bliss.

Instead of ordering single bars, I order a loaf of soap. That's 10 bars of soap.
