You often hear that it's best to use natural products for your hair, but you're having trouble making your hair transition. Greasy, coarse, sticky hair... Today, LAO reveals all its tips for successfully transitioning your hair and achieving beautiful, natural hair.

Step 1: Get informed

That's good, you're currently taking that step by reading this!

It's important to educate yourself about your current cosmetic products so you know they don't contain controversial ingredients like sulfates or silicones. Some ingredients in your cosmetic products can damage your scalp or damage your hair fiber, so it's important to know what they are and learn about their possible effects on your hair. You can start learning more about this by reading our blog post, which will tell you the good reasons to go natural ! 🌿

Step 2: Dare to change

After you've learned about the controversial ingredients that may be present in your shampoo or hair care, it's time to sort things out! The best thing to do is get rid of products containing silicones , parabens , and sulfates .

Sorting through your shampoos and hair care products will help you start fresh and make room for natural hair products that are truly suited to your hair and scalp type.

If you want to take this new beginning further, you can also take the opportunity to cut off your dry hair ends or your lengths if your hair is really damaged. We remind you that contrary to what is often said about hair products, hair cannot be repaired . It can be conditioned, but if your lengths are too damaged, do not hesitate to cut it to refresh your hair.

3rd: find hair care products that are right for your hair

Start by analyzing your hair type: Is it fine and straight? Or is it curly, frizzy, and dry? Depending on its characteristics, your hair has different needs in terms of care and shampoo.

If your hair is rather smooth, fine, or if your scalp gets greasy quickly, you should not use too many rich treatments, at the risk of weighing it down. For this type of hair, you can use a purifying shampoo , because it does not contain oil, and therefore will not be too rich for the hair.

On the other hand, if your hair is curly, frizzy and tends to be rather dry, it will need to be coated and then require a richer shampoo, such as the nourishing wash treatment . You can then complete your routine with a nourishing mask then a gel, or even a leave-in.

Next, take a look at your scalp: does it get greasy quickly? Do you have oily dandruff or dry dandruff, or is itchy?

Step 4: Transition to natural

To help your hair adapt more easily to natural products, you can help it make this transition by starting to cleanse it of any substances that may have remained on your scalp or hair. To do this, you can mix one or two spoonfuls of baking soda into your new natural shampoo, thus clarifying your hair .

This will allow them to return to their natural state, for example by removing silicones which have the characteristic of wrapping the hair and suffocating it. Your hair may need a little time to get used to natural products but this is completely normal. With a little patience and perseverance, you will soon see the results and discover your beautiful natural hair!

And now, all that's left is to wish you a good transition to natural! 🌿 If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us on Instagram : @lao.care
