Hair & Scalp Detox (What do Expect)
If you have been using hair care with Silicone Derivatives or harsh detergents and you switch to a natural shampoo alternative, you may go through a period of “detox” also known as a "Healing Crisis."
You are also going to have to learn that using a Shampoo Bar is a TOTALLY different experience and you are going to have to learn a brand new normal for your Shampooing experience! When you get out of the shower, your hair may feel squeaky clean and knotted. This is normal! But you will find that despite that, a comb is fairly easy to run through your hair. As I said, TOTALLY different experience! And that's OK!
Hair Detox is when your hair and scalp go through a period of adjustment in which your natural oils and the natural function of your hair is restored all while removing the silicone or paraben build-up in your hair. The health of your hair and scalp is usually corrected within a couple weeks to a month or more depending on what products you previously used and your hair type. Previous damage such as split ends cannot be reversed, so I suggest a haircut or trim. Using Pure Life Shampoo Bars, you will never have to use conditioner again!
If you struggle with an oily scalp, this is a sure sign that your natural oils are being stripped from your hair and your body is trying to overcompensate for that. The thing I hear most from those who use my shampoo bars (after the detox) is that they can go days and even up to a week without washing their hair.

Symptoms Of Detox and Ways To Get Through It!
- Tangled Hair- Mix a solution of 1 part apple cider vinegar to 2 parts water in a spray bottle. Use in the shower after using your shampoo bar as a leave in conditioner. Vinegar smell will be gone after hair dries. After detox this step won’t be necessary.
- Oily Build Up- To get through the stage of oily build up, before shampooing, get hair wet and rub a couple tablespoons of baking soda through your hair. Wash thoroughly before shampooing your hair. This will help break down the waxy buildup!
- Dry, Dull or Staticy- Once again the vinegar and water solution and baking soda lather will help with this.
- Shedding- Hair that has been trapped in follicles from oil and wax build up will be releasing, which is a great sign that the detox process is starting. This should only last a couple of days. Hair may also shed more if you are having problems with tangling in the beginning.
- Color Loss- If you color your hair, you may go through a process of losing some hair color or have color fading. This is nothing to be alarmed by! Color will attach itself to waxy build up rather than the hair strand. As the waxy buildup comes out, so will the color that is attached to it. Great news is, this will ensure your future hair colors to fully penetrate your hair rather than just color the waxy buildup, resulting in less color fading!
