If you noticed, I did not mention a specific shampoo that i use.  Thats because I do not shampoo my hair.  Shampoo contains sulfates and other harsh chemicals that strip the hair of its natural oils that it produces.  Those oils are a neccessity and are extremely relevant for the health of our hair.  Natural hair (depending on the hair type that u have) can tend to be very dry and fragile.  Thats y its so important to keep it moisturized DAILY.  I co-wash my hair, and what that means is that I wash my hair with conditioner instead of the traditional shampoo washing.  Conditioners have cleansing agents in them as well, and it is best advised that the conditioner u use is organic or natural based.  Always make sure u read the ingredients on the back of ur hair products to insure that ur hair is not being harmed or mistreated in anyway.  A natural friend of mine always told me, "if u cant pronounce the ingredients in it, DONT USE IT."  Natural/Organic products can be more expensive than regular commercial products, but trust me, u get what u pay for.
