Detangling your hair naturally and effectively is possible!
Do you want to switch to natural cosmetic products, particularly a natural hair detangler, but don’t know how to choose among the available options? Here are our tips.
What is a natural detangler for?
The natural detangling conditioner is a beauty product applied to wet hair, after rinsing the shampoo, which fulfills several functions: hydrate and close the cuticle of the hair that has been opened by the surfactants (contained in cleansing products) in order to remove any residue from the hair fiber. This action gives a soft and smooth feel to the cuticle, allows the hair to reflect light properly and, overall, makes the hair more supple, stronger, and more resistant to external aggressions.
A natural shampoo must necessarily be followed by a conditioner to deliver good results: if you skip this step, the fiber will be dry and dull, and you will think that your organic shampoo is not suitable, when that is not the case at all!
Pay attention to the composition of your plant-based conditioner
Very often, it is the avoidance of one ingredient in particular that pushes consumers to look for a natural detangler. For several years now, the media have highlighted the harmful effects of silicone, a petrochemical substance that is ubiquitous in conventional conditioners, for several reasons. Cheap, silicone has two major advantages for the industry: its slippery texture makes it easy to use and it coats the hair with a “plastic film”, creating an immediate result though perfectly superficial.
Over time, silicone has established itself as the flagship petrochemical compound in conventional cosmetics (supermarkets, drugstores, salon products…), until the public became aware of its side effects: by coating the hair, silicone creates a true occlusive barrier around it. The active ingredients and good nutrients you bring to your hair then cannot penetrate and remain on the surface, rendering them useless. Worse still, over time, silicone suffocates the hair, creating various capillary issues: oily roots, dry lengths and ends, dull hair… The illusory effect of silicone lasts only a while and causes much long-term damage. That is why it is essential to pay great attention to the composition of your plant-based detangler.
Which natural conditioner for my hair?
For natural hair
Here we refer to hair not colored by oxidation or plant-based dyes. Two options are available to care for your hair after shampoo:
- Daily Care preserves the natural hydration of the hair fiber and is particularly suitable for those who wash their hair frequently. Its spring fragrance of lavender and rosemary has made it one of our best-sellers.
- Sweet Care is a certified organic detangling balm, subtly scented with orange and ylang-ylang essential oils. Specially designed to provide sufficient hydration to normal to fine hair without weighing it down. Curly and frizzy hair loves it!
For plant-colored hair
More than just a coloring product, plant dye is a true treatment: it naturally coats the hair, gives it shine and regulates the scalp. You already have a head start in hair care! Here, the main goal is to maintain shine and soften lengths. We offer two references:
- Thanks to its gentle organic composition, Sweet Care can also be used on plant-dyed hair. This is the option to choose if your hair tends to be dry and needs lots of hydration.
- Natural Color is an innovative product: in spray format, its light texture makes it perfect for oily or very fine hair, often weighed down by traditional cream formulas. It contains organic apple cider vinegar, known for its ability to reflect light and create a mirror effect on hair.
For chemically treated hair
Hair that has undergone chemical treatments (oxidation colorings, bleaching, perms…) cannot be maintained the same way as non-colored hair or hair benefiting from plant coloring: its needs are simply different. This type of hair is considered “sensitized.” Synthetic dyes, in particular, work by oxidation: they open the cuticle to remove natural pigmentation and replace it with artificial pigments. The hair structure is modified and the cuticle never completely closes, making hair difficult to detangle and increasing its need for hydration and nutrition.
Our Color Care detangler is therefore a transition product, caring for hair damaged by petrochemistry until you switch to a healthy coloring method without side effects, that is, plant-based coloring. Its rich and creamy texture restores suppleness and vitality to thirsty hair and has a strong detangling power, preventing breakage during brushing.
Bonus: If animal welfare matters to you and you refuse to use cosmetics containing animal-derived ingredients, rest assured: every product mentioned above is a vegan conditioner, free of any animal substances.
