The Transition to Natural Hair Care: What You Need to Know
Conventional shampoos often contain silicones, quats, and mineral oils—ingredients designed to coat your hair, giving it a shiny appearance and a "dressed-up" effect. While your hair may look beautiful on the surface, it’s often hiding underlying damage. These ingredients don’t repair your hair; they merely cover up the issues temporarily.
When you switch to a natural shampoo, you begin to eliminate these silicone and mineral residues. As they fade away, the true nature of your hair begins to reveal itself—the healthy, unadorned strands that were once masked by synthetic products.
Why Clean, Natural Shampoo is Essential:
A natural shampoo cleanses your hair without stripping it of its natural oils. It’s the foundation of any organic hair care routine, leaving your hair clean and nourished without causing long-term damage. The moisturizing, nourishing, and detangling effects should be incorporated into your hair care routine before or after washing, not as part of the shampoo itself.
The Transition Period:
During the transition to natural hair care, your scalp will undergo some changes. The goal is twofold:
-
Regulate Sebum Production: Your scalp will work to balance sebum production, whether it’s too dry (leading to dryness) or too oily.
-
Remove Silicone Residues: You’ll need time for your hair to fully detox from silicone and other occlusive agents used in conventional products.
Once the buildup is gone, you’ll be able to better assess your hair’s true state and create a personalized, natural hair care routine suited to its needs.
Tips for a Smooth Transition:
-
Stop using conditioner 1-2 weeks before switching to natural hair care products to help your scalp adjust.
-
Avoid shampoo bars in hard water areas: Hard water contains minerals that can interfere with the effectiveness of your natural shampoo bars. It’s best to use alternative methods or water softeners in these areas for optimal results.
The hairbrush is your friend
Can be a great ally in your fight against oily hair. When you brush your hair, the brush distributes the sebum along your lengths, which limits excess on the scalp and hydrates the lengths.
So we brush our hair every day, with a comb or a wooden brush, head upside down to loosen the roots, from the tips to the roots to avoid creating knots and breaking the hair. Have you always heard that you shouldn't use a bristle brush? This is true for the iron pimples, which attack the scalp, which therefore secretes sebum to protect itself. No risk with the wooden pins which massage the scalp to stimulate blood flow
Cut it
It might be a terrible step for you, but you have to face the facts, you have to cut it. There is a very simple reason for this need. It is more than likely that your ends are badly damaged and a broken hair cannot be repaired, being dead material. When advertisements boast of being able to repair split ends, they only talk about depositing silicone in damaged parts of the hair for a dressing effect. No repair therefore. And that's normal since a broken hair is bound to stay that way.
Cutting your hair will help speed up the transition phase, since your lengths can never look as good as healthy hair. If cutting your hair is really too much of a hassle, do it gradually until all the unreachable material is gone
Greasy hair
Known for its washing and softening properties, rhassoul is the ally of oily hair because of its many minerals which absorb and regulate excess sebum. Presented in powder form, it can also play a soothing role for scalps prone to dandruff or prone to itching.
Help restores volume, shine and softness to the hair, it is also very suitable for fine. Natural, it has the advantage of not containing any surfactant (note: a detergent agent, generally responsible for the formation of the foam of "classic" shampoos), which makes it a product appreciated by followers of no-poo, this method of washing hair without shampoo.
How to use rhassoul?
Rhassoul can be used as a hair mask.
The right recipe: mix the rhassoul powder in a bowl with a little lukewarm water until you get a smooth paste. Remember to use wooden utensils, because the metal alters the properties of the clay. Then apply the paste obtained on the hair previously combed, the rhassoul will be eliminated more easily. Apply the mask to the roots of the hair so that it absorbs excess sebum. Finish with the ends. Very lightly massage the scalp, then leave to act for a quarter of an hour. Rinse thoroughly while brushing hair to remove all clay residue
Dry hair
Dry hair suffers from a sebum deficit right from the root. They therefore lack the hydration that this natural and free treatment is supposed to provide to strengthen them in their length. Your goal will be to make up for this lack. If you have to treat the lengths as soon as the transition with moisturizing and nourishing treatments, you can apply Argan, olive, shea butter, sesame oil or a natural mixed for dry hairOily roots and dry ends
For those who do, you might be surprised, but there is no such thing as mixed hair. Or to be more exact: are not supposed to exist. This is because your scalp either produces too much sebum or it does not produce enough. The in-between is a paradox as only the petrochemical industry is capable of producing it (sulphates cause seborrhea but at the same time dry out the lengths that cannot benefit from the sebum because of the silicones ...). Anyway, if you are in this situation you will have to apply a method that is also mixed: Rhassoul to detox your scalp and to space out the washes with natural shampoo, brushing and intense care mask with argan oil
