Trend: No-Poo Routine
- 2 min reading time
I can almost hear you thinking uhm what, no poo?? No it's not what you think, this is about the movement that is on the rise of people who no longer wash their hair with shampoo, but instead choose natural alternatives. Does that sound interesting? I'd love to tell you more about it.
Shampoo through the years
Until the late 1800s, it was common for people to wash their hair once a month or even less than that. Soap was a luxury that not many people could afford. Over the years this changed, synthetic shampoos came into existence and hair was washed every two weeks. By 1970, washing your hair daily had become the norm.
Vicious circle
Of course, shampoo has continued to evolve and today's shampoos are a lot gentler and less stripping for your hair than earlier formulas, but we also now know that daily washing is actually very bad for your hair.
The natural oils are stripped from your hair, which can make it very dry and you will need conditioner and hair masks again . And by washing daily, you are actually causing your sebaceous glands to go into overdrive to combat this dryness. The result is extra greasy hair, which is why it is also necessary to wash your hair every day. You are in a vicious circle of washing your hair, what now?
Introducing No-Poo
The No-Poo movement means that you wash 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 brush your hair thoroughly twice a day, your natural hair oils are distributed through 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 ;) Instead of not using any 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 often.
In addition, there are now enough shampoos 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!
