Why detoxing your hair is important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After years of using commercial, over the counter products on your hair, there is likely to be a build up of product that may take some time to remove.  Also, your scalp becomes \u201cused\u201d to the products you use on your head.  Detoxing your hair is a simple way to remove build up and freshen up your scalp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detoxing is essential if you want to switch to a more natural haircare regime, such as from regular shampoo to using shampoo bars.  It can take a long time for your hair and scalp to adjust. Some find it takes a few weeks, some a few months.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shampoo to shampoo bar transition phase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your scalp and hair might feel horrible during the transition phase. While you are getting used to a new regime, your hair might feel dirty and oily, and look a bit gross. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just remember \u2013 and I can\u2019t stress this enough \u2013 DON\u2019T GIVE UP!  I promise you that if you can manage this awkward stage, the rewards will be worth it.  Wear hats, use headbands, whatever it takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people can’t cope with the way their hair feels while during this transition.  They give up, go back to their regular, chemical-based products and have to start again. Don’t do that – it undoes all the good work you have done so far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have thick, blonde, frizzy curly hair, and I found this transition stage really challenging!  My hair was gross, felt weird, knotty and dull. It felt like straw!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\u2026 I persevered (ok I admit I gave up twice and had to\nstart again), and it was soooo worth it! \nMy hair is shiny, feels and looks healthy, and amazing.  I\u2019ll never go back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have since found out that you can speed up the awkward transition process by detoxing your hair with a homemade hair mask, and boy, I wish I had known that earlier. Now I regularly use the mask on my hair, because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
