Trend: No-Poo Routine

I can almost hear you thinking uhm what, no poo?? No, it is not what you think, this is about the growing movement of people who no longer wash their hair with shampoo, but opt for natural alternatives. Does that sound interesting? I'd love to tell you more about it.

Shampoo through the years

Until the late 1800's, it was common for people to wash their hair once a month or even less than that. Soap was a luxury product that not many people could afford. This changed over the years, synthetic shampoo emerged and hair was washed every two weeks. By 1970, washing your hair daily had become the norm.

Vicious circle

The development of shampoo has of course not stood still and nowadays shampoos are a lot softer and less stripping for your hair than previous formulas, but we now also know that washing daily is actually very bad for your hair.

The natural oils are stripped from your hair, which can make it very dry and you will also need conditioner and hair masks . And by washing daily you ensure that your sebaceous glands go into overdrive to combat this dryness. The result is extra greasy hair, which makes it necessary to wash your hair every day. You are in a vicious cycle of washing your hair, what now?

Introducing No-Poo

The No-Poo movement means washing your hair with a natural alternative to shampoo, such as baking soda and apple cider vinegar or even just water. This way you still get clean hair, without damaging it with stripping chemicals or hair that needs to be washed every day. In addition, you can thoroughly brush your hair twice a day, your natural hair oils will be distributed throughout your hair, your hair will dry out less quickly and will look beautifully shiny.

Skeptical?

Are you not yet convinced to say goodbye to your favorite shampoo? We understand that ;) Instead of not using shampoo at all, you can of course also choose to wash your hair less often. Within a few months you will notice that your hair becomes greasy less quickly and that it also needs to be washed less quickly.

In addition, there are plenty of shampoos nowadays that are gentle on your hair and do not strip your hair of its natural oils. Technology does not stand still, thank god! For example, take a look at the solid shampoo bars or a Rice water shampoo , our range contains something for everyone!
