Why choose a natural routine for your normal hair?

In recent years, the naturalness of beauty products has been praised for well-being, health and respect for the environment, advocating the choice of natural hair routines, organic hair products, “clean” cosmetics. Knowing that "clean beauty" has no precise definition, how is choosing a natural hair routine beneficial for you?

Adopting clean hair cosmetics consists of taking care of your hair, by limiting the negative impacts on health and the environment. Choosing a natural hair routine means adopting cosmetics with different levels of responsibility. A responsible cosmetic can be characterized by different criteria.

How is a natural hair routine responsible?

Its composition: a natural hair routine must offer a healthy composition, with natural and organic active ingredients. Many ingredients found in conventional cosmetics, such as the infamous endocrine disruptors, allergenic or carcinogenic ingredients for example, are as harmful for the body as for the environment. Ideally, a natural hair routine consists of products with short but effective formulas: we remove the superfluous in order to optimize the real beauty active ingredients.

Its transparency: a clean cosmetic is a cosmetic that is not afraid to show what it contains. Indeed, if we have nothing to hide, why hide what we have to offer? Clean beauty advocates transparency in its communication in order to give consumers the choice to select what is best for them: a complete list of ingredients, a clear communication, certifications such as Ecocert or Cosmebio which guarantee compliance with a strict standard and the commitments advocated by the brand. By choosing a good natural hair routine, you know exactly what you are putting on your scalp.

Its ecological imapct: being good for the health is great, but preserving the environment is even better. A natural clean hair routine is also concerned with its ecological impact, both in the sourcing of its natural active ingredients, in the production of the product or in the recyclability of its packaging. At Rodolphe&Co, we work with a minimum of 40% Breton assets to remain as local as possible. The packaging is eco-designed, both recycled and recyclable. Adopting a natural hair routine also means caring about your environment!

The key steps of a natural normal hair routine

You don’t have any particular hair problem? Is your hair shiny, flexible, in good shape? Your scalp does not show pimples, itches, does not feel greasy to the touch? Great, you have normal hair, and know that many envy you! But this does not mean that they should be neglected, quite the contrary. Choose a natural routine for normal hair to continue to maintain it gently. To continue to have beautiful hair, you must not only have the right products, but also good practices for a natural and healthy routine.

First of all, choose the composition of your normal hair routine carefully. As said above, choose natural hair cosmetics, certified organic, with a composition that seems correct to you. Avoid silicones, sulfates, parabens which, apart from an aesthetic aspect, will not provide you with long-term benefits.

Although genetics plays a big role in the health of your normal hair, bad daily habits can change this balance. In your normal hair routine, also incorporate a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, less stress, in order to maintain the natural beauty of your hair.

Avoid exposing your hair too much to heat, to a hair dryer that is too hot, to frequent brushings, or to the sun without UV protection. Too much heat contributes to damaging the natural protective barrier of the hair, and to weakening it in the long term.

What products in my natural normal hair routine?

A natural hair routine always starts with a good shampoo. For normal hair, use gentle natural shampoos, such as the Light Hydration Shampoo, rich in precious Mother-of-Pearl extracts from Brittany, vegetable proteins, aloe vera and sweet orange essential oil. Its gentle and balancing formula also makes it the ideal shampoo for the whole family. You can also use the Mineral Volumizing Shampoo, its powder format makes it much more practical for travel, and more economical because you only need very little powder to lather the shampoo. Always do two applications during your shampoo: with shampoos containing natural active ingredients, the first application allows to cleanse the scalp well, while the second application allows better penetration of the active ingredients and their benefits. Also massage your scalp gently while applying your shampoo: self-massage gestures are highly beneficial to blood circulation and the good health of normal hair.

Then add the Hydrating Hair Mask to your natural normal hair routine. Rich in moisturizing agents, this mask is to be applied for 5 to 10 minutes to deeply hydrate and detangle your hair. Remember to rinse your hair well with cool water to help close the hair scales and smooth them. If you have curly hair, you can also apply the Pearly Gel as a leave-in treatment, which brings definition and volume to curls. If you don't like to put product on the hair, choose the Hydrating Care no-rinse spray instead, to provide hydration while maintaining lightness.

Continue your natural normal hair routine with the Botanic Oil. Its unique complex of 5 precious and organic oils will nourish your hair, seal in the hydration previously provided, and protect the hair fiber against external aggressions.

To style your normal hair, choose between the Styling Emulsion for a light hold, the Styling Paste for a medium hold, or even the 100% natural Botanical Hairspray to fix stylized hairstyles such as glamorous blow-dries.

Finally, add to your natural normal hair routine, the Hair Force dietary supplements, 100% natural capsules rich in Breton seaweed and organic hemp oil, to deeply nourish and strengthen your hair, stimulate growth, and have dreamy hair!
