switching to natural skincare products and what to expect.

If you have ever made the switch from regular to natural shampoo, you will know that the hardest thing to get use to is the lack of lather!

Most of us have used regular shampoo’s our whole life and are used to feeling a super foamy lather. And you probably think that unless there is lather, no cleansing is in fact being done. Wrong!

What it means, is that changing to a natural product might take a little getting used to. But don’t give up, because the long-term benefits are definitely worth it!

Our unique, natural hair and body wash formula is no different.

It’s a head-to-toe unique powder formula derived from natural products, that not only cleanses, but moisturises too. This means the first time you use our product to wash your hair and body you might be thinking… “hey, where’s my foam?!”. But the foam in fact, is just an illusion of cleansing that you have been programmed with over time.

Here’s a few tips to help you when switching to natural:

1 – Wet your hair fully before using the product
2 – Apply the product to your hands with a little bit of water. Then activate it by rubbing it through your hands
3 – Now apply to your hair evenly starting at the roots
4 – Rinse and repeat

Why rinse and repeat?

You will often find with a natural shampoo that only on the second wash will you have more lather. This is totally normal, and best practice instead of trying to use more and more product to create more foam. Your scalp and hair will take a few washes to get used to the natural product, but you won’t regret how healthy your hair will feel.

The fact is that it can take up to 7-10 washes to get rid of all the silicone off your scalp produced by some regular shampoos. The silicone helps to create the illusion of your hair being super silky. Now your hair can find its own natural silky through the addition of beneficial oils in our special formula. You will probably also notice that over time you won’t need to wash your hair as often anymore. This is because your hair will start retaining its own natural moisture balance.

How does switching to natural body wash feel?

When applying our unique hair and body wash to your body with your hands, it’s going to feel silky and smooth with a wonderful refreshing smell rising from your skin. But for the foamy suds feel, we recommend using a loofah or bath sponge of some sort. Be careful of how much you use or you’ll have suds for days.

To be noted! Both methods of just using your hands with no extra foam, or using something like a loofah, clean equally as well! It’s just about giving you the sensory satisfaction that you are used too.

Ready to go natural?

If you are ready to go natural, make sure to give it a proper go by challenging yourself to stick through using one entire bottle. You will get used to the new feeling of washing, and you will love the way your skin and hair feel using products that are actually good for you. Remember the chemically produced bubbles are just an illusion of cleaning.
