What does your brain say about
what you put on your head?
The reality is that hair care ingredients can be absorbed into your
scalp. Maybe it's time to get smart and go natural, and that doesn't
mean you have to give up your style. You can have beautiful,
manageable hair using products with ingredients that actually
benefit your hair and scalp.

Got the frizzies or the
droops?
Introduce your hair to better ingredients and say "so long" to the
effects of harsh chemicals. Some can completely strip hair of its
natural oils, making it vulnerable to damage. Natural shampoos are
made with nourishing plant-based ingredients for gentle yet
effective cleansing.
Make "protect and nourish"
your new hair mantra.
Use natural conditioners that not only smooth and detangle, but
also rebalance the pH of your hair and scalp. Boosted with
botanicals, they build body without making hair feel heavy, and
help prevent split ends and breakage.
Style to enhance, not to
conquer.
Are you searching for more manageability or volume? Conventional
products contain synthetic dyes and other ingredients which may
damage hair and follicles. For best results, use natural products
with plant extracts that support healthy hair while working
wonders on your style.
Choose the Right Product
Shampoo.
Choose a shampoo compatible with your hair type. If you have
coarse or curly hair, consider skipping the shampoo some days and
go straight to conditioner.
-
Fine Hair
Look for mild "everyday" formulas. Clear, non-creamy shampoos that
have "no buildup" on the label are perfect for you. Your hair will
look fuller and less "weighed down."
Dry or Coarse Hair
Look for moisturizing formulas, and massage into the scalp, not
hair. Apply conditioner to ends before you shampoo. Your hair will
be more manageable and less frizzy.
Oily Hair
Because you shampoo more often, use a milder shampoo. Try an
oil-free or unscented formula to help prevent hairline breakouts.
You will have clean, fuller hair without scalp irritation.
Thinning Hair
Use a shampoo with vitamin ingredients such as biotin and
panthenol. "Clarifying" shampoos can help unblock hair follicles
on the scalp and promote growth. You will have hair that's less
likely to be damaged by harsh chemicals or lost due to follicle
blockage.
Conditioner.
Use a conditioner for your hair type after every shampoo to
detangle and rebalance the pH of your hair.
-
Fine Hair
Use conditioners free of oils that weigh hair down. Instead, look
for volumizers like panthenol and glycerin and choose light
conditioners. Result—greater volume.
Dry or Coarse Hair
Look for ingredients like jojoba oil and shea butter in rich,
conditioning formulas. Result—less frizziness and breakage.
Oily Hair
Ask about oil-free products that prevent buildup. Because you
shampoo more often, look for products marked "daily use."
Result—clean, full hair that doesn't look flat, weighed down and
greasy.
Thinning Hair
Look for shampoos and conditioners containing biotin, a B vitamin
to promote hair growth. Also, take extra biotin along with your
multivitamin. Result — hair that's less likely to be damaged by
harsh chemicals or lost due to follicle blockage.
