Natural treatments require an adaptation process, so it is likely that at first the results will not be as expected. Over time we will see notable changes.
Chemicals to beautify your hair can often give it a good appearance, but at the same time they can cause damage that you can avoid with natural conditioners.
Chemicals from shampoos, conditioners, masks, dyes, etc. are also absorbed through the scalp, potentially damaging our health.
It is worth mentioning various situations ranging from allergies and even in more serious cases due to the use of hair dyes.
So always remember to demand an allergy test for any new product you want to use, or when you change your hair color.
It is better to have a little patience and make sure that the product will not produce any unfavorable reaction.
