My All Natural Sustainable Hair Care Routine ✨ ( Zero Waste )

Hey guys welcome back today i'll be sharing my natural zero waste hair care routine. I was a hairdresser for years and what i'm about to share with you, i wouldn't have recommended over commercial products, but after digging into natural beauty, i haven't looked back ever since and as a result, my hair has become thicker, healthier and also shinier than it's been. My entire life - i could ramble all day on this subject, as i am very passionate about it, but let's go ahead and jump in and show you what my hair routine looks like. First things: first washing my hair. I ditched traditional shampoos over two years ago and switched to a shampoo bar. My favorite one that i have found is the jr lit it's moisturizing bar just like every shampoo is different. It'S the same with shampoo bars. So if you find one that you don't like just keep trying, if you don't know, traditional shampoo often removes your natural protective oils. A shampoo bar uses the oil cleansing method. What that does is it removes excess oil and dirt, leaving your natural oils behind to protect and condition your hair. So here's how to use one, i simply start by getting the bar and my hands wet. You can see it lathers up pretty fast. I like to rub the bar onto my hair, making sure all the surface area is covered. Then i scrub away honestly the first time i use this shampoo bar. I was shocked on how fast it lathered up once i'm done scrubbing i rinse just like i've washed. My hair, my entire life, now it's time to move on to conditioner. I personally love this salt conditioner from high bar. I use their moisturize one when i use this, i like to start by wringing out my hair slightly and then i apply it from the ears down once i start to feel some slip. I like to rub some on my hands working it through the ends. Then i let it sit for five minutes. While i do some other shower things, then of course rinse it out. I'Ve been using this conditioner bar since january, and, let me just say it lasts forever. My first bar lasted six months. The final step to my shower is my apple cider, vinegar rinse. Today, i'm using a rosemary and thyme infused apple, cider, vinegar, i'll link, a video on how to make it below all i do is pour about one inch to the bottom of a large cup and then fill the rest with water. I like to dunk the ends of my hair into the vinegar before pouring the rest over my head. Then i just rinse it out as well. Apple cider, vinegar, hair rinses have a lot of benefits, but my two favorites are added shine and balancing out the ph of the hair. I wash my hair two to three times a week, letting it air dry always before. Bed i like to put my hair up into a protective hairstyle like a braid or a low bun. I make sure to work a few drops of argan oil into my ends. To give it a little extra love wearing a protective hairstyle will actually help your hair break less since you're, causing less friction throughout the night. Every two to three months, i give myself a haircut or what i like to call a dusting. This is the technique used to get the internal damage of the hair. This is where a lot of split ends live and, if you're wanting to conserve length, this is a must do to keep your hair healthy, simply take small sections of hair and weave them between your fingers. Little hairs will pop up and then you can check if they're split or if they're not cut anything dead off and keep repeating. I also trim my ends if need be. At the same time, cutting your own hair is a lot easier than it sounds start small, but also remember. I have professional experience. Last but not least, i did want to mention. I haven't colored my hair in four years, but i do still use heat on it. This one i haven't fully gotten away from mostly because my hair is that odd middle ground, where it isn't straight and it isn't curly, so something has to be done to it. I only use heat two to three times a week on the lowest setting my curling iron goes. I also don't use any type of traditional styling products, either mostly because they're full of chemicals, alcohol and also fragrance causing your hair to become drier and drier. Again, i could go on and on about traditional hair care, but today it was just all about my natural hair care routine, and i believe that pretty much sums it up, if you guys have any questions, make sure to leave them in the comments below. I know how confusing and weird a switch like this can be, so ask away i'll make sure to link everything i use in the description box below as well. Thanks for watching guys i'll see you all next time bye, you
