Natural shampoos: Why nettle is the queen for oily hair and problematic scalp

The battle with oily hair and problematic scalp – a vicious cycle you can break!

Who among us hasn't woken up with greasy roots at least once and thought, 'Is it possible I washed my hair yesterday?' I know that feeling! Oily hair, an itchy scalp, and then if dandruff joins the party – a real carnival on your head. A problematic scalp is, realistically, stressful. And yes, when your hair is screaming, it's hard to find peace.

In a sea of products promising mountains and valleys, we often get lost. We reach for the strongest formulas that promise ultimate cleanliness, but in the end, we do more harm than good. The scalp gets irritated, sebaceous glands go wild, and we enter the vicious cycle of oily hair. But... there's a better way. A natural way. One that gives hair time to breathe and the scalp time to return to balance. Today we're talking about the queen of care for oily hair and unruly scalp: Nettle!

Understanding Hair: Why does hair get greasy and how to recognize a problematic scalp?

Before we go into battle with oily hair, it's important to understand its roots, literally! Our scalp, like facial skin, has sebaceous glands that produce sebum, a natural oil that nourishes and protects the hair. The problem arises when this sebum is overproduced.

What causes oily hair?

There are many factors: hormonal imbalance, stress, genetics, but also poor nutrition and, get this: aggressive shampoos! These strong shampoos, full of sulfates, strip the scalp to such an extent that it receives a 'danger, I need more sebum!' signal, and thus the vicious cycle only intensifies.

Problematic scalp and dandruff

Itchiness, redness, sensitivity, and even dandruff often accompany an oily scalp. Dandruff is not just dry skin; it is often associated with fungi that feed on this excess sebum. Are you looking for a solution for dandruff and oily scalp? The right approach is to create balance, not to fight the symptoms.

Why natural shampoos are a game changer? Breaking the addiction to chemicals.

If you've ever felt your hair become dependent on daily washing, you've likely experienced the consequences of aggressive chemicals. Sulfates (SLS/SLES) create a rich lather but simultaneously strip natural oils from the scalp, drying it out and encouraging even stronger sebum production. Parabens and silicones, on the other hand, can weigh down hair and clog follicles.

Natural hair shampoos are gentler. They don't strip the scalp but carefully cleanse it and allow it to regulate itself. They use the power of plants to:

• Balance sebum secretion: Gently cleanse without excessive drying.
• Soothe the scalp: Reduce itching and irritation.
• Strengthen hair: Provide nutrients that strengthen the hair from the root.
• Ensure long-lasting freshness: Hair stays clean longer and becomes less greasy.

Choose a shampoo without sulfates and parabens and your hair will thank you!

Nettle: The queen for hair! Science and experience behind the green power.

If there's a hero plant for hair, it's nettle! No, we're not talking about the one that stings you when you touch it in the garden. We're talking about powerful nettle extracts that have been proven allies of healthy, strong, and vital hair for years. Are you looking for a nettle shampoo? Here's why it's so crucial:

Rich in nutrients

Nettle is full of vitamins (C, B, K), minerals (iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium) and carotene (provitamin A)! These are all vitamins for your hair! They strengthen the hair from the root, stimulate scalp circulation, and ensure a better supply of oxygen and nutrients. Imagine it as superfood for your follicle, but directly on your head!

Panthenol (Provitamin B5)

This is an ingredient that hair simply adores! Panthenol deeply moisturizes, penetrates the core of the hair shaft, making it softer, more elastic, and more resistant to breakage. It gives it that healthy shine we want, without weighing it down. For dry and damaged hair, panthenol is a must!

Tea tree essential oil

Gentle, yet powerful! Tea tree essential oil has exceptional purifying properties. It effectively helps reduce scalp oiliness and fights irritation, creating a clean and healthy environment for hair growth. Are you looking for a shampoo for seborrhea or dandruff? Tea tree is often a key ingredient!

Our Nettle Hair Shampoo is not just another shampoo. It is the result of years of research and love for nature. It combines these powerful ingredients in a gentle formula that cleanses, nourishes, and balances. An ideal solution for oily hair and problematic scalp. It is suitable for all ages, including children from 3 years old and up, making it an ideal choice for the whole family.

How to use nettle shampoo for best results?

There's no great secret to it, but a few tricks can make a difference:

• 1.Preparation: Shake the shampoo bottle well before use.
• 2.Less is more: You don't need a lot of shampoo! A small amount is sufficient for gentle washing and rich lather.
• 3.Massage, don't rub: Gently massage the shampoo into the scalp with your fingertips. Focus on the scalp, not the length of the hair.
• 4.Rinse thoroughly: Rinse with lukewarm water. With natural shampoos, hair needs to be rinsed more thoroughly.
• 5.Conditioner (if needed): If your hair feels a little rougher (which is normal with some natural shampoos because they don't contain silicones), apply a moisturizing conditioner or balm to the ends.
• 6.Patience: Give your hair time to get used to natural care! It may take a few washes to reset.

Give your hair a chance to find its balance again and shine in full glory.

With Love, Mala od lavande! ❤️
