Will your hair wash help with dandruff and thinning hair?
Q: Will your hair wash help with dandruff and thinning hair?
A:
First, consult with a licensed medical professional to receive a diagnosis of your scalp to rule out any serious medical condition.
As a flaking scalp may be a sign of sensitive skin/scalp, we would recommend that as your first hair wash transition step, you follow our vinegar/water rinse and deep-cleanse instructions as described in numbers 5 and 6 of our Hair Wash instructions.
You could use the vinegar/water rinse a few times per week or after each wash to help balance your flaking scalp. We recommend using the deep cleanse at least twice per month, or more frequently as desired.
We would recommend our Fragrance-free and/or Cool Mint Hair Wash for your hair/scalp type. For conditioning or for a soothing and moisturizing scalp massage, we recommend our Fragrance-free Super Emollient Moisturizer.

Each Hair Wash "Flavor" is Different!?!?
Information about levels of moisturizing in Hair Washes
Q: Which of your hair washes are moisturizing? My hair gets dry sometimes and I don't know what to do about it.
---
A: Our Hair Washes are formulated for different hair types and the different "flavors" actually do have different effects for different hair types. For example, most people cannot use our Left Coast Lemon version as it is our most moisturizing version that is designed for very thick, kinky, curly and/or frizzy hair. The lemon formula contains a good amount of organic citrus waxes (in the various organic citrus oils) and, while these are excellent for helping to smooth and control kinky or curly hair, they are too heavy for fine hair and may build up on finer or thinner hair. Our Lavender is our medium moisturizing formula that works well for thick, coarse or damaged hair, and our Spice is our lightest moisturizing formula that can be used by those with thicker, normal hair that may occasionally be a little dry or rough. Our Mint and Fragrance-free versions have no moisturizing components and are the best formulas for those with fine, thin, straight or oily hair.

Please Try Our Hair Wash, Even if You're Sensitive to Chemicals!!
Info for chemically-sensitive people
Q: I am very excited to try your hair wash. I have chemical sensitivities, but I am also irritated by most essential oils. So I would like to begin with the Fragrance-free Hair Wash. I have thick, wavy hair that is 50% gray - and your product descriptions do not recommend the fragrance free wash for this type of hair. Can you recommend a regimen for me, to help my type of hair work with the Fragrance-free Hair Wash?
---
A: As your hair is not chemically-processed, it is most likely that you CAN use the Fragrance-free Hair Wash. We highly recommend that you read through all of the instructions in our excellent, detailed Hair Wash instructions article and, in particular, read and follow numbers five and six in the article. The article is most important for folks to gain an understanding of how the unique Pure Earth Hair Wash works, the detox process, what to expect during the detox, tips, etc.
The Fragrance-free Hair Wash does not have any moisturizing factor, so it's possible that, with your thick wavy hair, you might feel the need to use a touch of one of our organic Body Oils or Body Cremes for a little smoothing and conditioning.

Curly Hair?? There are Ways to Use Our Hair Wash AND Control Your Hair!!
Information about controlling curly hair when using our Hair Wash
Q: I have curly hair that goes crazy if I don't put gel or mousse in it. Will you be coming out with a product that can be used in place of gel or mousse or is there any other product that you would recommend?
---
A: Many of our naturally curly-haired customers used a touch of one of our 100% Organic Body Cremes (in the push-up container, and also available as our Four Flavor Body Creme Sampler -- a trial kit of all four flavors) to tame and/or smooth or condition their curly locks.
You can view them on the Body Care section of our web site (scroll down after the Anointing Body Oils...which can also be used to smooth or condition curly hair!).

Life Without Synthetic Conditioners: It's Not Impossible!!
Information about coarse or thick hair and the detox process
Q: I've been using your shampoo for about a week now (and I followed the detox directions when I got started). I have very thick, wavy, coarse hair. The idea of not using any conditioner seemed ridiculous, but I tried it. But it looks like it's not an option for my hair. There is absolutely no way to get a comb through my hair if I don't condition it. I have been using your Cocoa Butter Body Oil, since that's what you recommend for hair, and it only helps a little. I'm really concerned, because I have to comb it out when it's wet, and I'm starting to see some breakage on the ends (I just had a haircut, and normally this takes weeks or months to develop). Do you have any suggestions for my (currently unmanageable) hair?
---
A: Please go back to our detox instructions, the complete long version on our web site, and read number five again -- speeding the detox. This step is a very important step, especially for folks with long, thick or damaged hair. Using the Body Wash for a few days and the dilute vinegar and water conditioning/detox rinse can really help such hair types in the early stages of the detox, and with your thick/coarse hair, your detox will likely take a few weeks.
You can also use the vinegar and water rinse as we describe in number five, as needed, along with and after using the Pure Earth Hair Wash as frequently as you'd like, and continue to use a bit of the Anointing Oil for smoothing, if desired. This should help you get through the detox more quickly.

It Says This, But I Like This Smell Better!!
Information about choosing the Hair Wash based on your hair type
Q: I tend to buy products by fragrance. I have fine, straight hair and would like to order lemon hair wash, but it's not listed as a match for my hair type. Does it really matter? Would you say that the hair washes are very similar, apart from the essential oils?
---
A: Our formulas are not all the same. The various essential oil formulas DO make a difference.
Unfortunately, for your hair type -- fine, straight hair -- the lemon would be the least recommended formula as it is our heaviest moisturizing version and fine, straight hair does NOT need heavy moisturizing!
Our recommendations for you would be, definitely, Fragrance-free or Cool Mint. And possibly, Spice -- although the Spice version may even be too moisturizing for you if used every day.
Just be sure to follow all of the Hair Wash instructions for best results.
Now, if you're looking for some excitement and a pick-me-up via an aromatherapy scent, well, that's easy to fix! Try using our Left Coast Lemon Body Wash or any one of our other yummy Body Washes. They're delicious!

Choosing the Best Hair Wash for Your Hair is a Necessity!!
Information about choosing the correct Hair Wash for your hair type
Q: I have been using your Fragrance-free Hair Wash and am still in the detox process. My hair is long, fine, and curly and it tends to be dry and frizzy. It seems like the Fragrance-free Hair Wash makes my hair feel very weighed down and I can't seem to fully rinse it out. I ordered the Lavender as well to try to see if that works better. I like it better than the Fragrance-free but it seems to really weigh my hair down and it seems like there is a bit of residue still after rinsing. Can you recommend anything that I should do differently to keep that from happening?
---
A: Our Lavender Hair Wash is formulated for folks with thick, wavy or curly hair, that may be dry on the ends. It is usually too heavy for daily use for folks with thinner and/or finer and/or straighter hair types.
It appears that daily use of the Lavender Hair Wash is too moisturizing for your hair and scalp. You could try alternating the Lavender Hair Wash with the Fragrance-free or Cool Mint formulas and following the instructions in number five in our Hair Wash article for the Body Wash deep cleanse once a week or more frequently, if desired. However, it just may be that the Lavender is too moisturizing for your needs and your best Hair Wash formula is the Fragrance-free (or the Cool Mint).
