How to Use:
Our shampoo is a true cleanser, so that “squeaky clean” feeling is normal. With no fillers or unnecessary ingredients, it removes only the oils and buildup you don't need, unlike traditional shampoos filled with silicones and plastics. Our 2-step process includes:
1. Shampoo (Double Wash): The first wash lifts dirt and oil, while the second hydrates and infuses nutrients into your scalp and hair.
2. Conditioner: Essential for locking in moisture, detangling, and nourishing the ends. We highly recommend using both the shampoo + conditioner as they work together.
If you're new to our products, there may be a transition period as your scalp sheds buildup from past products. This detox may cause excess oil release, but once your scalp adjusts, it will breathe freely and absorb the nourishing oils.
New to them?
The shampoo is going to work a bit harder to remove any film and buildup from previous shampoos. It may take some time to release all these films and previous ingredients from other products. Some can experience a transition or detox period in which you may see more oils being released than usual. More info about that here.
However, once you’ve allowed the shampoo to do its job and naturally exfoliate the scalp of those stagnant ingredients that are just sitting on your scalp, then your scalp can breathe freely again.
The oils will start to recalibrate and find their groove allowing your hair to absorb and digest all the nourishing oils these product provide.
Like our skin, when we are exfoliating and encouraging the release of oils, dead skin, whatever it may be there can be some shedding. Shedding is normal when you are allowing your scalp or skin to release what may have been trapped due to the not so nice ingredients from previous products. This doesn't always occur, but it's completely common and only during this transition period.
Tips for Transitioning:
- Wash more frequently: Cleanse as often as needed in the beginning.
- Dryness: Do a scalp treatment, or try an overnight mask with any of our conditioners.
- Oiliness: It’s normal as the shampoo clears out trapped oils. Wash an extra time. It's ok if you don't stick to your "I only wash my hair once a week routine". Consider adding an ACV rinse for balance.
With time and patience, your scalp will recalibrate, and you'll see the benefits of truly clean, nourishing hair care. Your scalp will thank you!
