Discover how to detox your hair naturally
If you have been using hair care products with silicone derivatives, then when you initiate a change to natural or organic hair care, you may experience a hair detox for the first few weeks.
Commercial hair care products often leave your hair coated with plastic from the silicone derivatives ( dimethicone, cyclomethicone, or any chemical with 'cone' in it.) they contain. The Miessence shampoos will not foam and the hair care products will not work effectivley until you have removed this coating by detoxing your hair. You can do this any number of ways:
- You can do it over time by using the Miessence hair care products until it happens slowly. - The clarifying hair rinse will greatly assist this process
- You can detox your hair with a few baths of 1 cup sea salt, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 cups of bicarbonate of soda. Get in the bath and swish your hair around in it.
- Or you can make a paste of bicarbonate of soda and one of the Miessence shampoos and wash your hair with it a few times
- You may also make a paste of clay (one of the Miessence masks - or just clay from any health food shop) mixed with one of the Miessence shampoos and wash your hair with this mix a couple of times.
While your hair is detoxing, it may feel dry and knotty. This is normal as the hair is eliminating the silicone. Once this has dissolved, you will find that the Miessence shampoos foam and they will leave your hair soft and silky. The Protect Hair Repair will help with the knotty hair during the detox process.
