Yes, as the natural shampoos do not contain harmful elements which can damage your hair further.

3.What should be done after washing your hair with shampoo?
Generally it is recommended to use a conditioner after washing your hair with shampoo, but this isn’t always necessary especially if you regularly use hair oil, or if your shampoo already has a conditioner.
4.What kind of false marketing to be careful of while buying your shampoo?
Experts warn to be careful against claims which are too good to be true, cause they really may be.
