A Clean Curly Hair Routine *Non-Toxic*

Hi guys is Lana here and today I am going to be doing a clean hair care routine for curly hair. After my last video, I had a lot of requests to recommend some clean beauty products and I actually had a look through my own collection except a ton of products. Some of them are clean, some of them aren't, and I used most of them anyway, but for this video I'm just only focusing on like the clean ones, and I am going to show them to you. So what is clean Beauty? What does it mean? What does it mean for us? What does it mean for the planet? Clean Beauty honestly means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Goop com defines clean Beauty as non toxic products that are made without harmful ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, PE G's, chemical sunscreens, synthetic fragrances, BHT PHA and carcinogens and endocrine disruptors. So carcinogens are those things that are known to cause cancer, including parabens, and endocrine disruptors, are what disrupt our hormones. All of the big voices in clean beauty will agree that fragrance is not an ingredient, and the reason for that is fragrance is known among regulators. As a trade secret, that means that companies don't need to disclose what is in their fragrances, and that can be anything and it doesn't even need to just relate to the set, but also the color and experimental elements like how the fragrance sticks to your skin. If that means, any number of harmful ingredients can be passing through under the guise of fragrance perfume, parfum or flavor. Some will say that clean beauty ends at the ingredients list, but there are some like at the good phase project who say that clean beauty also needs to be ethically sourced and made with the health of our bodies and the environment in mind. Others say that that's leaning towards green beauty, which is not necessarily the same as clean beauty and green beauty, means that the products need to be plant derived vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly and sustainably sourced. If you guys did watch my last video, then you might already be aware of the think dirty app. I downloaded it to my phone and I had a look through all of my products to see if any of them passed the think dirty out the test. I have a small collection of them that did so there'll be the ones that I'm using today. However, I did notice on the app some things were scoring a bad grade, even if they had say 20 ingredients that were really good, that scored really low, which meant that they're really clean and if they just had one ingredient that was like bad. It meant that they scored terribly, and I wasn't even looking at them because it would come up with like an eight and a lot of them actually scored much better. In my opinion, if you just kind of disregarded that, but it's completely up to you what you want to take on board or what you don't want to take on board, I also noticed down at the bottom of the app it basically wants you to take the Rankings with a grain of salt because they haven't been money - that's it, they haven't been like manually, reviewed they're, basically just going off the ingredients in the ingredients themselves. They'Ve had like on your review or something like that. So basically take whatever the abscess with the grain of salt. Don'T just look at the number and think that's bad. Make sure that you actually click on it, have a look at the ingredients and decide for yourself whether that's something that you want to continue using or not with all that being said, the products that I'm going to be using today all scored, really good scores. I'M gon na think dirty up, so let's go ahead and use them. The first thing that i'm using is shea moisture, pretty much everything will show moisture came up clean on the app which is so good. I was so thankful for that because so many of my favs came up dirty, so i'm using today wait. These are two conditioners. No, i need a shampoo. I am not doing the no poo method. I actually feel like it's quite dangerous to your scalp. Really ever do a no food, I'm usually using shampoos, so the Shea Moisture raw shea butter extra moisture retention shampoo, because my hair is dry and I've been up in the mountains. I'Ve been skiing, so it got even more dry. I hope it's not damaged. I'M going to be using this, which is for damage to transitioning hair. I hope that it's not going to be too strong for my hair up wormies that anyway, so this is no sulfates, no parabens, no phthalates, no paraffin, no mineral oil, no synthetic color, and for my conditioner I will be using the Shea Moisture, coconut and hibiscus shine. Conditioner I used to use this right to start of my curly hair journey. I could probably say that this played a big part in getting my hair to be back healthy and growing again. For some reason I stopped using it, and I literally only just discovered this in my drawer. While I was looking for clean products, I didn't even know that I had this still or that I had like a fresh bottle. I don't know how I didn't know that I had it and also I don't know why I only got the conditioner and not the shampoo, which is why I'm using the raw shea butter shampoo. If I had the shampoo of this, then I would use this. So this one is specifically for thick curly, hair, moisturize and cold defying again, it's sulfate free, paraben, free valet, free free mineral oil, free and free of synthetic color. It contains coconut oil, silk protein and neem oil and acai. Does this still smell? This still smells really good, like really good one does use fragrance and their fragrance is of essential oil blend. So that's what I'm going to be using today. So then we have these two products which come from innocence. This one is a dry shampoo, so I'm not gon na be using this today. So I'm just using the quiet, calm coal control. Today I actually used this before it smells like a lemon lemon tart like lemon curd, just kind of sweet, not too strong. Like the Shea Moisture. Scents are really really strong. This whole line pretty much all scored zeros on the think, dirty app. That means that that app considers these to be the cleanest of the clean okay. My hair looks like trash. This is a 10-day old braid out. I literally just woke up I'm breaking out and look a mess. Don'T come for me in the comments for the way that I look cuz that's mean I can handle it, though it's fun we're looking at crusty dusty musty mess, but we'll figure it out. So I like to keep my water on a medium temperature for my hair washes because I feel like if it's too hot it could dry out my scalp and cause irritation and dry up my hair. So I like to keep it just kind of lukewarm. Then I fully saturate my hair and I run my fingers through my hair just to make sure there's no pieces of blues hair or obvious tangles that could get in the way during shampooing. So then I go in with a shampoo. This is the extra moisture retention shampoo from Shea Moisture. I pour that onto my hand. I mean I try to, but sometimes I forget that there's a little coil cap inside so I got ta take that off because it's not gon na work. If I don't take that off, that's a note to myself, then I pour it onto my hand and then onto my scalp, and I work that in just form a little bit of a lather fees won't lather up as much as sulfate shampoo would. But they still do the trick and then I rinse it through making sure to kind of clean the rest of my hair as I rinse it out. Then I use my conditioner and sometimes they come with this little pump, and I don't know about you guys, but I don't like it. I'D rather use it without it. So I usually take that out and just pour it directly onto my hands my hand. I put it onto my hair. I separate my hair in two because I feel like that's just easier, and then I can also detangle using a wide tooth comb and when all of that conditioners in and all the pointy hair is too tangled. I usually just put my hair in buns like this. While I finish showering and just let my hair soak up all of that nutrients, I had my hair up like this for a little while, but now it's time to take it down, I need to apply my styling products, my leave-in conditioners, and that kind of thing. Okay, so the first thing that I'm going to use is a leave-in conditioner from flora and Karl now I tried searching for flora and curl on the think dirty app, but it didn't show up and that's another thing. I want to say about that app that if that's what you're using to determine whether your products are clean or not, then just remember that some products aren't even going to be on their database at all. But I've had a look through and I can't see anything in this ingredients list that would be considered dirty according to the app and they only have natural fragrance pretty much all of it is plants like we have yelling ylang we have calendula Rose. This is clean enough for me. You may have noticed. I always take the lids on my bottles, because I don't see the point in them. This is more like a leave-in detangle and more so than a leave-in conditioner, but you're just gon na work. For me, the innocence, quiet, calm, cold control, a styling cream to boost and define colors, so I'm gon na brush that through to make sure that it's evenly applied. I like this brush because you can kind of do like the Denman style thing of just like kind of twisting it like this try and get the most out of your clothes and scrunch that up you see the difference like we got to do that with this Side now too, we're really gon na get the most out of the calls. Today, I'm just going to take my little microfiber towel here turban and I'm just gon na scrub, some of the extras extras', I'm gon na scrunch, some of the excess moisture out now that most of the moisture has been scrunched out of my hair moisture. But like now that most of the excess water has been scratched out of my hair. Now I'm gon na go in with some hair dryer action. Why did I say it like that? I'Ve got ta go in with the hair dryer. This is my hair dryer. That'S the hair dry by itself. It'S the dyson supersonic. I like this because it has like an inbuilt temperature control. I'M sure most hair dryers probably have some sort of inbuilt temperature control. I hope, but this one is obviously Dyson technology, so it just makes sure that it doesn't get too hot. It'S never gon na burn your hair. So I like that I'll put that on there it's got heat settings here, I'm going to switch it on. Okay. I think that was like a record time record. I think that was like a record time thing getting my hair dry, it's not completely dry, so I'm just gon na go and do my makeup and it should be done by then and then I can show you guys how this really looks. So I'm back there's a storm coming and it's getting real dark in my room even earlier than what I scheduled for so I'm gon na try my hardest to get everything dry. Otherwise, we'd have to change the lighting. That'S really gon na bug me, so I don't know if I'm gon na bother getting dressed today, there's already a storm starting, we'll see and you're gon na have to wait right into the end of this video to see. If I actually bother for a voter's. Take all the makeup off give up and call it a day. I was not able to find any information about any edge control. You know why away team at anything like that. For some reason, the information was not on think dirty app. I guess nobody has scanned out or input the information yet so I wasn't sure which edge control I should use. But then I came to think of it again and I thought you know what, even if there is a clean edge control for a fully clean hair tutorial, I'm just not going to use it. I just think when you're applying something to your scalp, that's like so thick and heavy and you leave it on all day and, let's be honest, a lot of us don't clean off the edge control at the end of the night. You know if you've got it all back here if you've done a hair, styling you're planning to keep it all week, do most of you realistically clean it after you shampoo on it, probably not like, even if you're just using water, it's gon na leave some residue And I feel like I've been noticing like thinning here, and I think the only thing that I use here is edge control, so something about the edge controls. You know it's blocking my scalp, it's not like it oxygen get through to it. It'S probably not getting a lot of nutrients, I don't know something's happening with the edge to grow up. If only I could speak, I'm gon na be very hard-pressed to find an edge control that is not only clean in formulation but also just to clean in general. For my scalp, in that sense, I'm just gon na leave it with no edge control. Today, oh I have some oil oil. Remember what I said about flora and Cole they're, not on the thing dirty app, but they are clean and they're just not on the app. So, maybe I'll add it to the app myself. I think that you can do that use some of this oil there's beautiful, beautiful oil just to lock everything in give me some added shine, oh and it smells so good. I have to admit my hair is not fully dry yet, but the Sun is disappearing and I need to film this part. This is the finished. Look, that's the routine.
