How Often Should I Detox My Hair?
Confused about the benefits of detox shampoo? Here’s what you need to know about deep-cleansing your hair…
We’ve all heard of detoxing when it comes to our diet, skin or even tech habits, but what about our hair? Day to day, the products we use – along with any dirt, impurities and dead skin cells – can build up on our scalp and hair. It means, without intervention, our scalp can quickly begin to feel dry and itchy, or become flaky. You might even notice new products aren’t working as effectively on your hair. Not ideal, right?
The good news is, there’s plenty you can do to remedy this. But what is a hair detox?
Using a detox or clarifying shampoo is a simple way to give your scalp and hair a deep cleanse. It means hair is left looking and feeling cleaner, fresher and healthier, allowing any products you use after to penetrate and work their magic much more effectively. Really, detoxing our hair regularly should be part of a healthy hair care regimen. After all, we wouldn’t dream of leaving skin to just do its thing without deep cleanses, masks or exfoliation, so it’s important to extend that same care and attention to our locks.
Detox shampoo: the basics
While how often you should detox your hair depends on your hair type, how often you usually wash it and how many post-shower leave-in products you use, a good rule of thumb is to use a detox shampoo at least once or twice a week, or when hair is feeling a little lackluster. Love Beauty and Planet’s purifying products are designed to gently breathe life back into locks so you can’t overuse them. They simply leave hair feeling revitalized, with benefits you can see right away. What’s even better is how easy they are to use. Just apply to wet hair and gently massage the scalp and roots with your fingertips to lather, before rinsing away. Hair should immediately feel healthy, bouncy and happily restored to its former glory.
The secret to great hair lies in great products, and a successful hair detox is no different. Choosing the right shampoo to work its magic is key. Why choose Love Beauty and Planet? Our hair products are made with plant-based ingredients, containing naturally derived and ethically sourced ingredients with no harsh sulfates, silicones, parabens or dyes. The result?
