Do you miss the good old days of having a natural hair care routine minus all the harmful chemicals?
If yes! We have got you covered!
Indian hair care routines have always leaned towards a natural and conscious way of consumption. For instance, we use natural ingredients to make kickass concoctions or mix oils and herbs found in the kitchen to make a unique formula.
Whether we are aware or not, our present hair care routine has changed drastically.
The cosmetic industry adds up to 120 billion units of plastic packaging annually in the form of bottles, tubes, and containers. However, of the 120 billion units of plastic packaging used each year, 70% ends up in landfills. This means the shampoo bottle we threw a few years back is still decomposing!
