This is an all-natural, chemical-free alternative that cleans your hair, but doesn’t strip it of its natural oils like most shampoos. All of the ingredients can be founds in natural foods stores.

A lot of good stuff is being said about Disney’s Habit Heroes bullshit - especially about the fat-shaming characters. But something I haven’t seen mentioned, which really enraged me, is the character Insecura whose bad habit is a lack of self confidence. Srsly.
