You may have been considering buying natural hair care products for some time now. It's easy to stick with the tried-and-true classics, but if you're thinking of changing, it probably means you want something more from your cosmetics. And natural products will do just that! Here's our advice on which natural shampoos are best for you.

Variations in composition

The main difference between natural and conventional cosmetics lies in their composition. In "classic" hair products, sulphates, silicones and parabens often have the greatest effect. They coat the hair with a layer that over time leads to their dull and bland appearance, they can also dry out the scalp. Natural care, by contrast, is free of synthetic and potentially harmful substances, full of ingredients that are kind to both the skin and hair, as well as the environment.

Don't expect miracles to happen instantly

Are you in? Excellent! However, it will take some time for your hair to get used to these natural treatments. Therefore, do not be discouraged if after the first couple of washes the result is not quite perfect. Remember, too, that it's not enough to change just your shampoo, but your entire hair arsenal needs a change. And you may need to experiment a bit before you discover products that work best with your hair type. But it’s worth it!

Natural shampoo for every hair type

However, the road to healthy and shiny hair thanks to natural cosmetics does not have to be long and full of obstacles. Here's a quick guide that will point you in the right direction of a natural shampoo suitable for your hair type. 

Coloured hair

Coloured hair does not exactly have low maintenance requirements. They need hydration, regeneration, damage repair, with the help of a formula that will support colour retention. Yet natural hair cosmetics can handle it all. Try Biolage Essentials ColorLast shampoo for coloured hair. With orchid extracts that protect against fading and washing out, your shade will shine for up to nine weeks. 

Anti-dandruff

Dandruff and hair loss is an unenviable combination. The Maria Nila Head & Hair Heal shampoo, however, contains ingredients that know just what to do. Piroctone Olamin fights dandruff, apigenin and oleanolic acid prevent hair loss, and peptides promote new hair growth. We'll put our hand in the fire for this treatment from Sweden!

Find your BFF among these natural shampoos

Fine hair

Flyaway and fine hair will quickly manifest itself if you tread on the wrong path when caring for it. Make sure you treat them to a product that's made just for them. Vegan shampoo Urtekram Rosemary without sulphates and silicones not only gently cleanses the hair and scalp, but also regenerates, hydrates and strengthens the hair fibres. 

For everyday use

Experts agree that washing your hair every day is not good for its overall condition. But sometimes it doesn't work any other way. If you frequently exercise and play sports, you know what we're talking about. Choose Apivita Frequent Use Chamomile & Honey shampoo, which protects the natural flora of the scalp, hydrates thanks to the honey and panthenol, while the chamomile and calendula provide protection against irritation. This makes it suitable for every hair type and for everyday use. 

Weakened hair

Does your hair above all need to be strengthened? Then entrust them to Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening shampoo. You’ll see a difference after the very first application! The shampoo with its unique formula creates bonds in the hair and they immediately look stronger and healthier after a few uses.

Damaged and dry hair

They are dull, rough, with split ends and combing them out is a daily struggle. This is how dry hair looks. To prevent further damage and breakage, equip your bathroom with the Weleda Oat regenerating shampoo. The extracts from oats and sage smooth the hair and give it softness and suppleness. 

Protection against free radicals

Shiny appearance, soft to the touch and healthy on the inside. Wella Professionals Elements shampoo is formulated specifically for this hair type with aloe veraargan oil, vegetable glycerine and vitamin E to hydrate, nourish and protect hair from free radicals and ageing. Plus, it comes in recycled plastic packaging and smells like the Amazon rainforest. You can't say no to that.   

It's time to finally throw away any last doubts and entrust your hair to nature. Are you in?
