What to expect when switching to natural haircare
There’s no better feeling than waking up to a good hair day. Especially when that good hair day is all thanks to natural ingredients. Because for the formula detectives out there looking to do their bit for the environment, making the switch to natural haircare is a no brainer.
But it’s also important to know that the journey to swishy, shiny, au naturale hair is a process. So don’t expect things to magically change overnight.
Instead, here’s exactly what you can expect...
You’ll have less of a lather
The first thing people tend to notice when trying natural haircare for the first time is the lather. A natural shampoo won’t foam as much as they don’t contain harsh sulphates. However, don’t be fooled into thinking you need to use more to compensate. Instead, follow the instructions and use some water to help it lather, taking care to massage it into the scalp.
For those with fine or limp hair (and a fear of it being weighed down), Sukin’s Volumising Shampoo is a great match. It’s lightweight and purifying for that fullness you love, with a naturally derived blend of pineapple, mango and papaya extracts to nourish the scalp.
Your hair needs time to detox
Just like eating one salad can’t immediately make you ‘healthy’, one wash with natural haircare isn’t going to get you crowning glory results.
Your hair and scalp need time to detox and rebalance, which can take some time (depending on how frequently you wash). It’s for this reason you should try Sukin’s #10washchallenge before making your mind up.
After a few washes you’re likely to find your hair begins to rebalance, with less oil at the roots and more moisture towards the ends – exactly how it should be. A little commitment is worth it when making the switch.
Switching to natural haircare includes styling and treatments too
Your hair routine extends beyond shampoo and conditioner, and so too does natural haircare. From scalp scrubs to masques and treatment oils, there are plenty of plant-powered options to suit your hair type and needs.
One that’s particularly handy during the transition period to natural products is Sukin’s Volumising Thickening Spritz. This one you can apply from roots to ends on damp, towel-dried hair, before blow-drying for a little extra natural va-va-voom.
Have you ever tried natural haircare products?

I've been trying to use natural haircare to see the effects that it would have on my hair, mainly shampoo and conditioner though. It's not making a big difference but we'll see

I haven't tried Sukin's hair products yet. Good to know about the lack of lather. I love that sudsy feeling and would probably end up using more than necessary.

This testimony is worth sharing to the world. I am here to tell the world of the good works of Dr BALBOSA. My name is Olivia Bolton am from the UK.. My man left me and my kids for another older woman. It was not so easy for me.. I love my husband so much and I did not lose hope and I kept praying and God finally answered my prayers...i searched online for a spell caster to help me unite me and my lover back forever and i saw so many testimonies of how DR BALBOSA has helped so many people online and i decided to give him a trial … I contacted him and explained to him. He told me not to worry that he will bring back my man within 24 hours. He consulted his powers and assured me not to worry . He did his work and cast the spell and to my greatest surprise, my husband came back the same day begging and crying just as Dr BALBOSA said. He begged me for forgiveness and he promised never to leave me for any reason. We are happy and we live together as one. Contact Dr BALBOSA now on: balbosasolutionhome@gmail.com and you can also contact him on WHATSAPP/CALLS +2347048047728... don't lose hope have a lovely day

See if I hadn’t read this article, I’d still be wondering how my shampoo wasn’t lathering up. I’m keen to try out the sukin volumising shampoo and conditioner. Thank you Beautyheaven for keeping us informed.

I've been trying a lot of different natural shampoos and conditioners over the last 2 years and there is definitely an adjustment phase. It's true about the lack of lather and you think the product isn't doing it's job, but it does. Also, the natural tendency is to put more on but that's just wasteful.

I urge anyone who is thinking of trying a natural shampoo to take the plunge, after a transition period(for 1 or 2 weeks plan on your hair looking bad) it makes such a huge difference. I've been told my hair had gone from being one of my worst features to one of my best.
