Naturalmente - Shampoos & Conditioners/Treatments

An informative blog on the Naturalmente shampoos and conditioner/treatments.

These products make use of aromatherapy essential oils and therefore provide effective treatments for the scalp and hair without being as prescriptive as conventional shampoos and conditioners. The reason being that they promote  health and well-being naturally and not chemically.

In other words a Naturalmente shampoo that can be used for oily hair is not necessarily only used for oily scalp and can safely be used by others too. The overall needs of your hair and the overall benefits of the shampoo need to be assessed.

 As an introduction to the Naturalmente method for hair care we look at how Naturalmente addresses the 3 basic needs of healthy hair... Cleansing, Nourishing and Sealing: 

Shampoos - Cleansing

1. Rosemary & Lavender (deep cleansing; for removing build-up and oiliness and stimulating scalp circulation; also known for stimulating hair growth even for balding men - I have heard a number of first-hand accounts to prove this and it has worked for myself too)
2. Citrus (gentle cleansing; for children, sensitive scalps and fine hair - can be used to manage an oily scalp effectively)

 

Shampoos - Nourishing

1. Fennel & Geranium (hydrating; for dry, chemically treated and curly hair; also for dry scalp)
2. Aloe & Sandalwood (strengthening and balancing; for all hair types - normal and colour-treated)

 

How to use the Shampoo

Step 1: Gently massage a R5 coin size of shampoo onto wet hair.

Step 2: Rinse and repeat with half the amount.

When using Naturalmente shampoo remember that squeaky-clean hair is not the best result but rather the hair is thoroughly and gently cleansed whilst protecting the natural balance of the scalp environment.

Surface Conditioners - Seal in Softness & Shine

1. Yoghurt & Millet (repairing and revitalising; for naturally healthy shine)
2. Fruit Acids (refreshing, detangling and moisturising; for softness and shine)

Nourishing Treatment Conditioners

1. Fennel & Geranium (deep hydrating; for chemically treated hair)
2. Aloe & Sandalwood (strengthening and repairing; for weak, damaged hair)

How to Use the Conditioners & Treatments

The conditioners/treatments will not weigh your hair down but will hydrate, restructure and seal the hair strand. They are highly concentrated so less is more; small amounts are needed for day to day care and more generous quantities can be used on treatment days as follows:

• Day-to-day - Use a small amount on wet hair, work through the hair to the ends and then rinse as normal.
• Treatment Days - Remove excess water, apply in the same way, wrap or tie back the hair and leave it in for as long as you can (Minimum of 10 minutes preferably). To achieve deeper penetration, use a heated towel, or alternatively apply extra heat for a few minutes with a hair dryer.

Naturalmente does not contain any hormone-influencing parabens (which act as preservatives in many personal hygiene/cosmetic products) or the detergent-like sodium laureth/lauryl sulphate (which disrupts the natural moisture-balancing ability of the scalp). It is preserved naturally through the use of pure quality essential oils and also obtains it natural fragrances from the essential oils and not synthetic fragrances.

The best results will therefore be achieved when Naturalmente shampoos and treatments are used exclusively.
