Q: I love your hair wash, but I've noticed that my hair has more static since I started my detox. How can I reduce static in my hair?
A:
The majority of synthetic detergents are designed to have anti-static properties, so when you stop using detergent shampoos, you may experience some static electricity in the first few weeks. This will gradually disappear as you continue to use the mud wash.
Our advice:
1. Switch to wooden combs and brushes with natural or wooden bristles.
2. Avoid static-causing situations such as blow-drying your hair and wearing clothing made with synthetic fibers (petrochemical plastics such as nylon, polyester, acrylic, etc)
3. After washing your hair, rinse with a mixture of 1 part organic apple cider vinegar to 2 parts water.

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.

Tangled Hair--It's a Thing of the Past
Information about using the Hair Wash with your kids
Q: I am currently using the Pure Earth Hair Wash on my five-year-old daughter's hair. Her hair is very fragile and breaks easily. The one problem I have is that after I wash her hair it is so knotted that she cries when I brush it out. So I have two questions for you. What can I do to strengthen her hair--is there another product I should be using? And do you have something to help with the tangles?

A: Many people have found that when they massage a dilute vinegar and water combination (50%v/50%w or even 25v/75w) through the entire scalp and all of their hair for about one minute (after rinsing the mud out of the hair with plain water first), and then rinse the hair again with plain water, provide a nice detangling effect for their hair. Be sure to read number five in the instructions (link below) for more details about this special rinse and about our deep cleansing treatment that we recommend everyone do at least once per month, or more as desired.
Finally, for more extensive information about conditioning the hair, Hair Wash tips, etc., we highly recommend that you please read through all of our excellent, detailed Hair Wash instructions article from our web site.

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.

Using Our Hair Wash with Hard Water?? No Problem!!
Info about TE hair wash and hard water/vinegar rinse concerns
Q: I was wondering if there is an issue with your Hair Wash and hard water. I have been told that with some shampoos, specifically castile type, a vinegar rinse is necessary.

A: Please read the following excellent, detailed article (link below) about our Hair Wash to learn more about what it is and the unique way that it works. It contains much detailed and useful information about our very different hair cleanser. We highly recommend reading it more than once to gain maximum insight into the Pure Earth Hair Wash and how to make the transition away from conventional shampoo products, and the conventional hair cleansing, conditioning and styling methods! Information about using a vinegar rinse is provided in question #5 on the hair help section of our website.
As our Hair Wash is NOT a shampoo -- it contains no soap or detergents -- hard water quality is not really an issue.
Vinegar rinses can be healthy and delightful additions to a non-toxic hair cleansing regime and some folks find them refreshing, balancing and detangling; however, a vinegar rinse is not an absolute necessity when using our Pure Earth Hair Wash.
