Are you looking for an exciting challenge for 2021? Why not try something a little different? How about promising your hair to try some new exciting things? Here are my suggestions:
Try a shampoo bar.
If you haven't already done so, I recommend you try a shampoo bar as it helps many people who have scalp problems, such as dry or sensitive skin. This is a different way to cleanse your hair and it takes some time to get used to if you've only used regular shampoo before. One of the things you need to get used to is cleansing your hair without much foam. After washing, you can rinse your hair with organic apple cider vinegar to make it soft and shiny or use a good conditioner.
Try natural hair care products.
We only sell hair products with natural ingredients, meaning without surfactants, sulfates, parabens, phenoxyethanol, polysorbate, TEA, DEA, MEA, PEG-laurate and everything else we find harmful that depletes the hair. You can find hair care products here.
Try a herbal hair dye.
Conventional hair dyes disrupt the balance of both the scalp and hair. Organic, plant-based herbal hair dyes, however, have natural content and are therefore gentle to use for everyone. They give your hair a protective color that combines with your own natural hair color to produce a unique result. You can also mix the hair dyes with each other to achieve different color variations. They provide vibrant colors as well as silky shine and volume.
Herbal hair dyes are naturally free from peroxide, ammonia and other chemical components. You can find our herbal hair dyes here.
Manage stress.
Stress affects your entire system and therefore also negatively impacts your hair. Some of my best tips for reducing stress are to find a way to relax, whether it's through walks, calming music, time in nature, yoga, meditation, conversations or touch. Also try to declutter your life and say no to certain things that take too much energy. Replace them with things you find fun and that inspire you.

Beauty comes from within
Remember that your hair reflects your overall well-being. Shampoos, hair masks and serums can enhance your hair, but for long-term results you need to lay a good foundation. Here are five tips from us on how you can take care of your hair from within, where true health begins.
1. Keep your hydration balance at its peak
Drink clean water every day, preferably with a little lemon or lime. Feel free to drink beneficial herbal teas. Remember: for every cup of coffee you need a glass of water. Coffee is not water.
2. Avoid refined fats and carbohydrates
An excess of fast carbohydrates (e.g. margarine, white sugar and white flour) can stimulate the body to produce more sebum which can cause or worsen both problem skin and scalp problems. There are plenty of other varieties to choose from today: such as rye flour, quinoa, millet, buckwheat, oats, seeds of all kinds, brown rice, stevia, xylitol, coconut palm sugar etc.
3. Eat good fats
Good fats include avocado, seeds, nuts and cold-pressed oils. Choose for example organic extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin coconut oil, flaxseed oil, pumpkin seed oil, hemp oil, black cumin oil etc. You can find oils here.
4. More vegetables and berries
Eat a diet rich in vegetables, berries, and fruits in their natural forms - they contain phytonutrients, enzymes, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Vegetables in all colors and forms enrich our health in ways we cannot understand!
5. Take supplements that benefit hair health
This includes Silica, B-vitamins, MSM, Omega-3, Vitamin C, Nettle, AFA algae that increase your results for healthy hair.
