Chemical based shampoos tend to strip most of the natural oils of the hair, leaving hair & scalp dry and prone to frizz. A good conditioner replaces some of the oils stripped from the hair during shampooing. Conditioners work by smoothing down the scales of the hair to make it look smooth and shiny. Shampoo opens the hair's cuticle, conditioner seals it back up, locking nutrients in.
Nature has some excellent emollients that are chemical free and that have been used by natives of Africa and South Asia in conditioning hair naturally. These can be found in fruit powders and butter obtained from the seeds of fruits. We bring you these conditioning agents in their raw form, without adding an chemicals.
