I've been on my trek towards a more natural, healthy, ethical lifestyle for several years now and when it comes to my hair, I've learned to be picky. I've tried almost every "natural" method for taking care of your hair on the market. Shampoo bars? Yep. Sulfate/paraben/chemical-free? Of course. The "no-poo method" where you let your hair "adjust" to it's natural oils and then cleanse it with baking soda and apple cider vinegar, like, once a month? Oh yes.
I've been feeling a bit burn out on the whole "healthy hair" thing and wasn't sure there was an actual product on the market that I felt good about. When I said I was picky, I meant it. I wanted all-natural ingredients that would actually help my color treated hair, not damage it. I wanted recycle-packaging that wouldn't end up in a landfill. I wanted to not smell like I walked out of a perfume shop.
Always matter, never mind; always mind, never matter. These are sentiments once expressed to describe competing lines of thinking about ourselves and the world around us. It was not until the birth of dualism that we would start to realize how important the two work together.
Today, science has shown us with multiple studies the importance of attitude and thought; that a person mindful of themselves and the world can live longer, healthier and happier. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but the results are clear enough.
So why then is mindfulness so important when it comes to wellness?
