Understanding Product Buildup: Why Natural Shampoos Can Feel Heavy and How to Fix It

Struggling with hair that feels heavy or weighed down? This common issue with natural shampoos can often be traced back to product buildup. Let’s talk about the causes of this buildup, explain how it affects your hair, and share effective strategies for restoring balance and lightness to your locks.

What Causes Product Buildup?

Product buildup occurs when ingredients from shampoos, conditioners, and styling products and hard water minerals accumulate on your hair and scalp. This can lead to dull, lifeless hair that feels heavy and greasy. Natural shampoos, which often lack the chelants like sodium EDTA found in conventional products, can be particularly prone to this issue. Sodium EDTA can be a scalp sensitizer, so many brands skip this ingredient.

How Does Our Shampoo Booster Help?

Our Shampoo Booster is a unique solution designed to combat product buildup by targeting both the pH and ionic charge of your hair and scalp. Here's how it works:

• Acidic and Physical Exfoliant: The citric crystals in the booster scavenge minerals and close the cuticle of your hair, promoting a healthier, shinier appearance.

• Effective on All Hair Types: Essential oil-free, this booster works with all our shampoo options, making it a versatile addition to your hair care routine.

• Balances and Revitalizes: By creating an acidic environment, the booster helps to remove buildup, balance your scalp's natural oils, and revitalize your hair.

How to Use the Shampoo Booster

1. Add a sprinkle of the booster to your shampoo.

2. Rub the mixture between your hands to activate the foaming bubbles.

3. Apply to wet scalp and hair, massaging thoroughly.

4. Let it rest for a few minutes to allow the foaming action to work.

5. Massage your scalp again, then rinse thoroughly.

Use this booster whenever you experience that heavy feeling in your hair due to product buildup, hormonal shifts, or mineral deposits from your water.
