Best Organic Shampoo for All Hair Types

When it comes to cosmetic products, "organic" means different things to different people. That's because its very definition in the beauty industry is, currently, nebulous at best. Does it mean the product in question lacks chemical ingredients entirely? Is the formula 91% fruit and flower? Or does it contain unrefined mud and cold-pressed oils from faraway lands? Truth is, it could be anything under the sun. The important caveat here to note is that all-natural doesn't necessarily translate to more effective. So when we define organic, we look for products that incorporate the most powerful blend of natural ingredients, while not excluding all, but only those chemicals that are harmful. We're talking about ditching the real bad guys — like parabens, sulfates, silicones and the rest of 'em. (Although we've shortlisted 100% chemical-free formulas too for those who takes organic hair care very, very seriously. So don't run away just yet.) To get your hair care regimen right, the 10 best organic shampoos in India, ahead.
