Topic: Synthetic versus Natural in beauty products
General-purpose: To Inform
Specific purpose: Be were of some harmful chemicals adding to your beauty product such as in hair care products.
Central idea: Introduce of natural products such as coconut oil in to the daily routine.

For instance hair products: There are many hair care products available in the market these days but still not many of you are aware of the fact that it may contain the ingredients which are dangerous for your hair. I don't think anybody wants to add one more thing to the list of cancer-causing chemicals that we're exposed to.

There are two kinds of hair care products available. 1 - Synthetic hair care products, which contain different chemicals.
2 - And natural products that contain herbs, plants, different oils etc.

Take the example of shampoo, the chemicals present in it can be helpful to give a short term growth and shine to your hair but in long run it will definitely damage your hair.

Here is the list of some studies done of these harmful chemicals, which can be extremely harmful for your hair and skin:

1. Methyl and Propyl and Butyl and Ethyl Paraben
2. PVP/VA Copolymer
3. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
4. Stearalkonium Chloride 5. Synthetic Fragrances

One of many solutions is to try to choose a more natural product, which contains herbs, plants, and different oils. I founded that “ Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil”, it is an affordable, solution to give my hair and skin a more natural way to care for it.
