How to use natural hair care

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.
