Lol @ chemical soup. I use chemical soup products and natural ones as well. My hair and scalp like both, it just depends on the ingredients. For ex: My hair and scalp like "regular" chemical shampoo -or- shikakai. My hair also likes "regular" conditioners and using oils, but I don't think I can use oils exclusively since I experience harsh winters where I'm out and it dries my hair out.
While I agree 100% that eveyone should take into account what works for their own hair and how they care for it when choosing what products and ingredients to use, I have to disagree about mineral oil just being a cheap filler.
Yes, it's inexpensive to produce and use, but it has it's own benefits & deficits like any other ingredient. On the same token water is a cheap ingredient but I wouldn't say that it has no benefits just because it's cheap.
I never said that everyone who avoids certain ingredients only did so due to ignorance. But it happens quite frequently that people will shun the products that have been working for them for however many years because they contain so called "bad stuff" as opposed to the so called "good stuff." Then they post again a few weeks or months later not understanding why they're having so many problems with their hair that they never experienced before when they're now treating it "better than ever."
I don't know, maybe I've been on here too long and have tried too many products that contain "good stuff" and cost an arm and a leg, but don't do squat for my hair.
I guess we all have to go through our own trial and error, but if I could help one person to not have to go through that then I would.
ETA: Oops, just saw Ktani's post which explains the benefits of mineral oil better than I ever could.
