It's all about products free from silicones, sulfates, parabens—in short, no chemical components, making them 100% natural. But it's more than just products; it's about breaking old habits too.
Tailor your pre-wash treatment to your hair type: For dry hair, apply coconut oil. For very dry ends and lengths, use an avocado oil-based mask. For oily hair, opt for powder-based masks (like rhassoul) with essential oils, such as lemon EO for oil control or ylang-ylang EO to smooth strands.
Why vegetable oils and essential oils?
- They protect tips and lengths.
- They nourish deeply.
- They're multi-purpose.
Choose a 100% organic shampoo or conditioner (solid or liquid) suited to your hair type. Rinse thoroughly, and avoid scalding hot water—it opens hair cuticles, leading to frizz. Use lukewarm water for washing, finishing with a cool rinse (beauty requires a little effort!).
For fine or dry hair, a leave-in spray adds shine and lightness without weight.
Before blaming products for hair issues, check your brush. Metal, plastic, or synthetic-bristle ones can break strands, irritate the scalp, cause static, and more. Go for a wooden or boar-bristle brush instead.
It gently massages the scalp, boosts circulation, and for oily hair, helps regulate excess sebum.
Post-shower, wrap wet hair in a microfiber towel to absorb excess water quickly. Air-drying is best.
If using a hairdryer (hair's biggest foe, but we get it), avoid max heat. Start on medium, keep it distant to prevent cuticle damage and frizz (no Hermione Granger vibes here!). Finish with cool air, just like your rinse.
Yes, you can straighten naturally and eco-friendly—ditch heat tools! Enter the kardoun, a traditional long ribbon used by women in Maghreb countries. Watch this video by Naturally Lyla to see how.
