How often should I wash my hair?

 

Many have asked, “How often should I wash my hair?” The answer is not universal, as it varies based on individual factors.

Each person has unique hair and scalp characteristics, influenced by skin type, environmental conditions, diet, seasonal changes, and stress levels.

When transitioning to a natural shampoo, your hair may experience a detox period where the scalp purges oils and buildup from previous products. During this time, you might find it necessary to wash more frequently. Conversely, if you have dandruff or a dry scalp, increased washing may be beneficial. If your scalp is healthy and oil production is balanced, you may space out washes accordingly.

Ultimately, the frequency of washing is determined by your personal needs and preferences. You are the best judge of what your hair requires. Rigid expectations—such as only washing every three days or once a week—can be counterproductive and lead to scalp issues.

Remember that factors like stress, diet, and seasonal changes can impact your scalp health. By listening to your body and adjusting your routine as needed, you can find the washing frequency that works for you. There’s no right or wrong answer—whether you wash a few times this week or only once next week, that’s perfectly fine!

In case you missed it, we've been undergoing a massive rebrand over here. From bottles to packaging to scents, we've been upgrading the Under Luna experience to bring you a beautiful cohesive line of non-toxic plant-based hair and body essentials to bolster your daily rituals.

Why?

As we evolve, so does the brand. Under Luna has come a long way from mixing oils in our founder's kitchen. We saw this as an opportunity to hone in on our current identity (new shapes and colors!), prioritizing comfort (no more shattering glass in the shower!), ease (retail boxes to make shipping and our stockists a little happier), and cohesion (all of our shampoos and conditioners are now the same price across the board!).

We've been working on this vision for the past 2 years, and as we know, a lot has changed from then to now. As a small business, we have decided to swallow additional costs to keep our products as accessible as possible while maintaining our commitment to high quality ingredients and ethical partnerships.

Major Differences?

Packaging

All shampoos and conditioners will be in 100% recyclable aluminum bottles. With an increase in recycling life (infinite!) and durability, we knew that the logistics paired with the ease of a child-friendly and slippery-shower-proof material would be a great choice.

Colors

We updated our branding with some tweaks to the color coding you may have grown used to! The big changes are Tulsi Conditioner now having a mauve colored moon (previously green) and Revive Conditioner having a deep forest green moon (previously light blue). Feel free to reference the diagram on the right for the whole lineup of colors.

Cost + Size

Another change is that we will be offering only one size per shampoo and conditioner. We've opted for 9.5oz (~50 washes) for longevity. All shampoos and conditioners will be available for $38, with a 10% discount applied to those that subscribe.
