💧 Step 1: Choose a Sulfate-Free, Gentle Cleanser

Traditional shampoos often contain sulfates that strip your scalp’s natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and frizz. A clean routine starts with a sulfate-free shampoo made with botanical cleansers.

Look for:

  1. Aloe Vera
  2. Coconut-derived surfactants
  3. No SLS/SLES or synthetic fragrance

🌿 Step 2: Condition with Plant-Based Hydration

A clean conditioner nourishes and softens without coating the hair in silicones. Instead, it hydrates from within using natural oils and humectants.

Key ingredients:

  1. Argan Oil
  2. Shea Butter
  3. Glycerin (plant-based)

🧪 Step 3: Weekly Scalp & Growth Treatment

To stimulate growth and reduce thinning, apply a clean serum or booster containing biotin, peptides, or plant extracts like rosemary or caffeine.

✨ Bonus Tip: Massage your scalp for 3–5 minutes to increase blood flow and absorption.


🌸 Step 4: Protect & Finish with Lightweight Oils

Seal in hydration with light, non-greasy oils like Jojoba or Baobab. Avoid synthetic shine sprays — they often contain drying alcohols or plastics.


❌ What to Avoid in 2025

  1. Sulfates (SLS, SLES)
  2. Parabens
  3. Silicones (Dimethicone, etc.)
  4. Synthetic fragrance (parfum)
  5. Animal-derived keratin

Clean beauty is about ingredients that work with your hair — not against it.
