From chemicals to coconut oil: how I switched to a natural shampoo bar

For years, I was all about natural skincare—if it was organic, plant-based, and free from chemicals, it was in my routine. I made my own moisturizers, serums, and soaps, living the "natural" life with the finest ingredients. But when it came to shampoo? That was the one product I just couldn’t let go of. I mean, how much harm can shampoo really do, right? Spoiler alert: I was wrong. Very wrong.



The harsh truth about store-bought shampoos


 

I thought I was doing fine with my store-bought shampoo. After all, it lathered well, smelled nice, and left my hair feeling… well, soft-ish. But after years of using the same old chemical-packed bottles, my hair started to feel dry and brittle. Not exactly the luscious locks I was hoping for. When I finally took a closer look at the ingredients, I realized just how bad it was.


Here’s the catch: the same companies that sell you these shampoos are also selling you the "miracle cures" to fix the damage caused by their own products. Think about it: you use shampoo that strips away moisture, then buy a deep conditioner or hair mask to bring it back. But it gets worse—many store-bought shampoos contain ingredients like sulfates, parabens, and even certain preservatives that are linked to hair thinning and loss. And guess what? The same brands responsible for this damage conveniently offer expensive "hair growth" treatments to fix the very problem they created.


It’s a cycle that benefits one thing—the company’s bottom line. And you? You’re stuck in the middle, wondering why your hair never quite looks as good as the glossy-haired models on the bottle.



Why shampoo bars are a game-changer


 

After years of using my own natural skincare products, I finally decided to tackle my shampoo dilemma. I wanted something pure—something that didn’t strip my hair of its natural oils or coat it with fake shine. Enter: Malina Organic Shampoo Bar. And trust me, it was a total game-changer. Goodbye chemicals, hello coconut oil and castor oil—ingredients that actually do what they say they’ll do.

Plus, it lasts way longer than traditional bottled shampoos and is 100% plastic-free, making your bathroom (and the planet) much happier.


When I made the switch, I noticed a major difference: my hair felt healthier—not just softer. It was fuller, shinier, and had more life. And, unlike store-bought options, my scalp wasn’t left feeling irritated or stripped.
