How to use natural hair care
← All topics: Skin & Hair Knowledge
Natural hair care works a little differently from conventional products. The switch takes a little time – but over time your hair becomes more balanced and naturally beautiful. Here's how.
1Understand how natural cosmetics care
Natural care does without silicones and harsh surfactants. That means:
- It cleanses and cares more gently.
- The artificial "instant shine" from silicones disappears.
- Your hair often needs 2–6 weeks to adjust.
2Cleansing: less foam, same cleanliness
Natural shampoos barely foam – but still cleanse thoroughly. Here's how:
- Wet your hair thoroughly.
- Lather the shampoo in your hands and apply it to the scalp.
- Only wash the scalp – the lengths are cleansed as you rinse.
- With styling residue or greasy roots, feel free to wash twice.
3Use care products in a targeted way
- Conditioner: only on the lengths, leave on for 1–3 minutes
- Leave-in: sparingly in towel-dried hair – especially for fine hair
- Natural oils (e.g. rosemary, argan, jojoba): versatile and very economical
4How to use hair oil
As a leave-in after washing:
- rub 1–3 drops between your palms
- work into lengths and ends – not onto the scalp
- for more shine, suppleness and less frizz
As a scalp ritual before washing:
- apply a little oil to the scalp and massage in gently
- leave on for at least 30 minutes (overnight if you like), then wash out thoroughly
- cares for a dry, tight scalp
Important: Less is more. Better small amounts regularly than too much at once – otherwise hair quickly looks greasy.
5Patience during the switch
In the first weeks, your hair may feel dry, dull or get greasy faster. That's normal – it's getting used to the gentler care. Afterwards, the scalp is often more balanced and the hair looks naturally shiny.
6Less is more
- Don't wash every day – 2–3× a week is often enough
- Brush regularly to distribute the natural sebum – e.g. with a wooden brush
- Avoid heat or use heat protection
CONCLUSION
Natural hair care takes a little patience – but rewards you with healthy-looking hair, without silicone film and build-up.
