Popular Q&A's for Natural Haircare

1. What are the benefits of using natural haircare products?

Natural haircare products are formulated with gentle, plant-derived ingredients that cleanse, nourish, and protect your hair without harsh chemicals that can strip your hair of its natural oils, causing dryness, irritation, and damage. Natural haircare helps to maintain your hair's natural balance, promoting healthy, bouncy locks.

2. What specific haircare ingredients do you avoid at Clean Nectarine that I might find in "natural" stores?

At Clean Nectarine, our strict "NO" list bans many questionable ingredients often found in haircare products sold in typical natural beauty or health stores, including Phenoxyethanol, Silicones, and Behentrimonium Chloride. We meticulously check every product label, so you might notice we don't always stock a brand's full range. This is because some items may contain ingredients that don't comply with our strict policy. For example, we don't stock the Acure range of conditioners as they contain Behentrimonium Chloride, and we don't stock the full Andalou Naturals range because some items contain Phenoxyethanol.

3. Will natural haircare products clean my hair just as well?

Yes, absolutely! Natural shampoos and conditioners are just as effective as conventional products, and often even better. They gently cleanse and condition your hair with plant-derived cleansing agents and nourishing botanical extracts, leaving your hair healthy, soft, and manageable. Unlike harsh sulfates that strip your hair of its natural oils, natural shampoos cleanse without dryness or irritation. And unlike silicones that coat the hair, natural conditioners leave your hair feeling smooth and silky without weighing it down.

4. How do I choose the right natural haircare products for my hair type?

Consider your hair type and concerns when choosing natural haircare products. If you have fine hair, look for volumising shampoos and lightweight conditioners. For those with thick hair, opt for rich, hydrating shampoos and conditioners. If you have curly hair, choose products specifically designed for curly hair to enhance your natural texture and reduce frizz. If you have dry or damaged hair, choose deeply hydrating and reparative products with ingredients like shea butter, argan oil, and aloe vera.

5. Are there natural alternatives to conventional hair styling products like hairspray and mousse?

Yes, definitely! You can find a wide range of natural styling products at Clean Nectarine, including hairsprays, mousses, gels, and waxes. These products use plant-based ingredients and natural holding agents to provide texture, volume, and hold without the harsh chemicals found in conventional styling products.
