There are a few major considerations that need to be made when shopping for Organic Hair Serum or similar products. As you browse the web or the shelves in a shopping mall for ‘organic’ hair serum, you will be surprised at the number of choices on offer. You will see wide spectra of packaging, price range, efficacy claims and certifications. Most products may be simply labeled as ‘oil’ instead of ‘serum’. The purpose of this article is to throw some light on all these factors and how to differentiate based on them.

The first consideration is the efficacy of the product – that is, will it do what it claims to do? In this case here, we are looking for an ‘organic hair serum’ product. So, will it keep your hair nourished and conditioned? Will it make your hair feel soft and smooth like silk? What about frizz and fly-aways? Will the candidate product do that? Look for the basis for their claims – is the label mentioning any specific tests or data? See how the manufacturer is substantiating their claims.

Next, you may want to consider possible side effects and/or safety issues that come with using ...
... the product. You can get an idea on these two factors by looking at the list of ingredients and any mention of safety tests done by the manufacturer. Look closely for any ingredient that you may be allergic to or that may be known for long-term side effects or known to be carcinogenic.

Thirdly, will the product make your scalp and hair look oily or greasy? Here, look for two things – lightness and absorption. You may want to choose an oil that feels very light and that gets absorbed very quickly. See how it looks – many stores have samples you can try – the color and transparency will give you an idea of the lightness too. And, how does it smell? What is a pleasant smell for one person could cause head ache for someone else.

Fourthly, but probably the most important, is how ‘organic’ is the Organic Hair Serum? By ‘organic’ we not only mean the ingredients that went into manufacturing that product, but also the processes as well as the kind of packaging used. All Ecocert Certified Organic products are required to mention the proportion of Natural and Organic ingredients clearly on the label. You wouldn’t want to put on your hair products that contain all kinds of chemicals – like petroleum derivatives, synthetic dyes, synthetic fragrances, sulphates, parabens, triethanolomine etc., - and other harmful ingredients. The importance of Organic Hair Care products comes from not only their inherent safety, but also from their environmental friendliness. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to leave behind an earth that is clean and livable. Modern cosmetic chemistry has advanced enough that now-a-days ‘Luxury Can be Green’ and ‘Green Can be Luxurious’. The days, when organic hair care products automatically meant products looking and feeling gooey and smelling like vegetables, are long gone.

Then you come to the cost of the product. While you will find that most Organic Hair Care products are at the high end of the price range, it doesn’t have to be necessarily so. Certified Organic Hair care products aren’t exactly cheap, but they are well within the reach of most health (and hair!) conscious people.
