Your Guide to a Hair Detox

When your hair care routine seems to be falling short, a hair detox can be the answer to healthy hair.

Out with the old and in with the new! Just because it’s not spring doesn’t mean you can’t detox up your beauty routine this season. Sometimes it can seem like despite our best efforts, hair isn’t responding to your favorite hair products the way it used to. When this happens, it could be a sign that your hair care routine needs a hair detox. Whether you’re looking to reduce your environmental impact, repair damaged hair or want to hit the refresh button on your hair care routine, we’ve got you covered. Learn how to detox your hair and boost your hair regiment with a few of our hair detox tips.

What is a Hair Detox?

Similar to what detoxing can do for your body, a hair detox works to help you start with a clean slate and a healthy scalp. That’s because a hair detox can help get rid of heavy buildup that might be responsible for weighing your hair down throughout the day. Unlike body detoxes which may take a few weeks, by adding just a few hair products to your hair care routine you can start detoxing your hair from day one. By doing your hair a favor with a detox, you’ll be well on your way to improving everything from your hair color to your hair’s health.

Hair Detox: Deep Cleanse Without Stripping Your Hair Color

For daily detoxing, it’s all about using the right ingredients in the shower. A shampoo like Hydrate Sheer Shampoo will help detox and moisturize your hair thanks to nourishing green tea found in its formula. Similar to how green tea can detox your body from the inside out, it can also have moisturizing benefits in your hair because it’s rich in antioxidants. Don’t forget to follow up with a lightweight conditioner like Hydrate Sheer Conditioner which works to quench thirsty hair. Thanks to its silicone-free formula, it won’t leave hair feeling heavy or weighed down.

Hair Detox: Helps Protect Your Hair From Pollutants

To prevent future buildup from occurring, adding a leave-in treatment hair product to your hair care routine is a must. After detoxing your hair in the shower with a shampoo and conditioner, spritz hair with a leave-in hair product to shield it against environmental damage. This is especially important if you live in or near a city where pollution can latch onto hair. By protecting your hair before you even step out of the house, you’ll maintain all of the effort you put into your hair detox.

Hair Detox: Sustainability Is Key

One of the best ways to live colorfully is having peace of mind knowing that you’re reducing your environmental impact, especially when you hair routine includes a hair detox. Looking for sustainably sourced ingredients in your hair products is the perfect way to do this because it means that any ingredients that are picked from mother nature are being replanted along the way. To really take your hair detox to the next level, consider using sustainably sourced ingredients, such as the ones found in Hydrate Sheer's Shampoo and Conditioner. Packed with sustainable proteins like soy, oat and wheat, these ingredients work to help strengthen and rebuild hair. You can also feel confident in knowing that it packs other sustainably sourced additives like jojoba oil and sage.

Whatever your reasons are for jumping on the hair detox train, one thing’s for sure –– detoxing is the stuff that bouncy, healthy hair dreams are made of.
