Like all aspects of beauty it is best to work from the inside outwards, by eating a balanced and healthy diet with all the right nutrients. However, it is beneficial and also fun to use natural treatments to keep your hair clean, healthy and looking great.

Commercial hair products such as everyday shampoo and conditioner are used to remove grease and to clean hair. However, have you ever considered that these 'cleaners' actually cause your hair to become more greasy? Hair products strip the hair of natural oils which keep the hair healthy, which cause the scalp to react by producing larger amounts of natural oils - making the hair greasier. Gradually, your hair becomes more and more dependent on the products which have to be used increasingly often, playing into the hands of the companies who market these products. Children aren't born with a bottle of shampoo and conditioner, raising the idea that perhaps we don't actually need it. It is the large companies who manufacture these products who are the only ones to really benefit.

Another reason to avoid commercial products is that they are often packed with chemicals, despite perhaps being promoted as "harnessing nature's power" and strengthening hair through a cocktail of various amino acids and the like. At most, these products are coating your hair with chemicals that make it appear vaguely shiny, and strip hair of beneficial natural oils. These unecessary chemical products do very little for your hair, and end up doing even less for the marine environment.

Hair types each need different treatments because of their varied structures, and each respond better to different ingredients. Because of this, we hope to continually update this section of the website with gathered information, tips and tricks on how to best care for all types of hair naturally, so that you can achieve better results.
