HAIR CLEANSERS
Hair cleansers are an important product in maintaining your hair. Cleansers work to remove dirt, excess oil and product build-up.

LIQUID SHAMPOO: These contain surfactants to remove oil and dirt from scalp and hair. Natural shampoos don't lather much as compared to their conventional commercial counterparts, but that doesn't mean they don't clean up well, in fact, they cleanse incredibly well. Usually, liquid shampoos are applied to wet hair and massaged through from the roots to the ends and then rinsed off with warm water.
DRY SHAMPOO: These make brilliant quick fixes when you don’t have time to wash your hair. Dry shampoos are waterless and contain dry ingredients such as corn starch, arrowroot powder, clay and even rice powder. A small amount is sprinkled over the scalp and either massaged or combed through to soak up oil, remove dirt and even boost volume. They can be used daily.
HAIR CONDITIONERS
Hair conditioners contain plant oils that work to restore the softness and lustre that shampoos strip away. They create soft, manageable hair that is easy to comb and style. Being high in fatty acid they can tame even the most unruly, frizzy hair into smooth silky hair.
DIFFERENT KINDS OF CONDITIONERS
