Natural Cosmetics for Hair

What is there for hair?

forpeople does not sell shampoo or a dedicated hair soap. In this category you will find products you can also use on your hair: pure, cold-pressed oils for dry ends and solid soaps you can wash your hair with. There is also the aloe vera serum, a water-based product without oil, which the product page lists for face, body and hair; with the spray head you can spray it on.

Which oil for dry ends?

One or two drops are enough for dry ends. Rub them between your palms and work them into the ends and lower lengths only, keeping the roots free. Oil leaves a thin film around the hair: it looks shinier and is easier to comb. Split ends do not grow back together, though; they can only be cut off.

• Jojoba oil: chemically a liquid wax, thin and with no added fragrance; feels light even in fine hair.
• Argan oil and almond oil: two plant oils that feel richer, more suited to normal to thick hair. Almond oil is also used as a treatment before washing. If you have a nut allergy, ask a doctor before using them.
• Rosehip oil: works too, but it ages faster and is mostly used on the face.

All four come in the care oil set. More, including oil treatments before washing: Care oil for hair ends

Can I wash my hair with solid soap?

Yes, but soap behaves differently in hair from shampoo. It is alkaline and, with the lime in hard water, forms a residue that makes hair look dull. It works more easily with soft water, and an acidic rinse afterwards is usually part of it, for example one tablespoon of vinegar to a litre of water. With very hard water or bleached and coloured hair, a shampoo is often the simpler choice. The Lavender and Lemongrass soaps are scented with essential oils, which bring fragrance components such as linalool and limonene into the soap. Step by step: Washing your hair with soap.

Beard, shaved head and when should you see a doctor?

The same oils are used as beard oil: Beard balm or beard oil? For a shaved scalp, one or two drops of oil after something water-based are enough for the whole head: Caring for a shaved head. Dry ends are a cosmetic matter. Have it checked by a doctor if your hair falls out noticeably more or breaks close to the root, if you have bald patches, or if your scalp keeps itching, burning, flaking heavily, weeping or looking red.
