Organic Shampoo and Hair Care Tips

Gimme a head with hair, long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen...
Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees ...
...a hive for bees
A nest for birds, there ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my...Hair!

Lyrics (paraphrased) by James Rado & Gerome Ragni, 1960s

How to get beautiful natural looking hair

$16 billion hair

Is your shampoo making you FAT?

Let's face it, people are into their hair! A 'bad hair day' usually means plopping on a hat, crying, complaining, or a rushed trip to the hair stylist or barber. A good hair day makes us feel beautiful - or handsome - and invincible. In the US alone, about 80,000 hair care salons generate combined annual sales of $16 billion dollars.

If you're thinking of getting into the hair care business, this could be good news. But for purists, that means billions and billions of toxic chemicals wafting into the air, pouring down the drain into our ground water, and infiltrating their way into human bodies through pores that suck them up like plants absorb sunshine and water.

It has been a slow erosion that has allowed people to replace lab-generated, synthetic chemicals for natural botanicals in their hair, skin and personal care products. Chemicals might make life easier and produce more drastic effects, but they also exact a huge negative toll on our health and planet. And just as destructive, they offer a false standard of beauty and aging that many people spend their entire lives striving for but never reach.

Nature, on the other hand - flowers, herbs, fruits, nuts, and seeds - is simplistic, peaceful, beautiful, and accepting. There is a natural cycle$16 Billion Dollar Hair in nature that synthetic chemicals try to eradicate - the seasons. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter exemplify our lives - whether we want to accept it or not. In Spring we burst forth in life so fresh, smooth and delicate, and with such possibility, the whole world wants to embrace us. In Summer we bloom bright and beautiful and with such strong potential and possibility, it takes the breath away. In Autumn we start to change, but with such grace and loveliness, people want to bask in the sheer joy of our experience and calm. And in Winter, we get to rest, reflect, rejoice in the life we've built, taking it all in with the wisdom and sagacity of one who has been there and knows, and can now sit back and simply enjoy. This is nature at its best. This is what nature offers human beings. This is what we at Miessence embrace when we choose, handcraft, and manufacture the purest products on the planet for your whole body health and wellbeing!

How to Detox your hair

Summer is a hazardous season for hair: sunburn, chlorine, salt and using excess styling product during party season can leave once-luscious locks looking lackluster.

The solution?

A simple hair detox. “Bombarding your hair with commercial shampoos and styling products to try and rejuvenate stressed strands actually has the opposite effect – it makes it worse,” says miessence co-founder, Narelle Chenery. “That’s because most hair care products contain silicone derivatives, such as dimethicone and cylcomethicone, which coat your hair in what is essential plastic. It makes it look shiny at first, but it’s actually weighing hair down and causing damage over time.” Switching to a natural shampoo and conditioner will help de-stress your tresses and restore a healthy balance to the scalp. “It won’t take long before your hair and scalp regain natural shine and bounce with just minimal maintenance – so you can spend your precious spare time outdoors instead of in the bathroom!”

How to do a Hair Detox

Miessence organic shampoos will work most effectively once you have removed the damaging chemical coating with a detox programme. Try these simple steps to achieving shiny healthy hair, naturally:

  • Switch to miessence shampoo, which will gradually remove the silicone derivatives over time. Use miessence clarifying hair rinse to speed up the process.
  • Make your own detox solution: combine 1 cup of sea salt, 1 cup of apple cider vinegar and 2 cups bicarbonate of soda. Pour in a bath, hop in and soak your hair in it.
  • Combine a small amount of bicarbonate of soda with miessence shampoo and wash hair several times to strip off excess oil and chemicals.
  • Make a paste using a miessence clay mask and miessenc shampoo and wash hair several times.
  • Help untangle knotty hair during the detox process with Protect Hair Repair.

Common Non-organic Shampoo Ingredients:

  1. Cocoamide DEA (diethanolamine) can cause nitrosamine contamination, which is a potent carcinogen. Cocoamide DEA is a detergent that causes allergic reactions, including eye problems, dryness of hair and skin, and can be toxic if absorbed into the body over a long period of time.
  2. Propylene Glycol is a petroleum derivative and industrial antifreeze. It's so toxic that the EPA requires workers to wear protective gloves, clothing and goggles. Because PG penetrates the skin so quickly, the EPA warns against skin contact to prevent consequences such as brain, liver, and kidney abnormalities.
  3. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is used in car washes and engine degreasers - and in 90% of products that foam. Animals exposed to SLS and ALS experience eye damage, central nervous system depression, laboured breathing, diarrhea, severe skin irritation, and even death. Frequently disguised in semi-natural cosmetics with the explanation "comes from coconut".
  4. Suttocide (sodium hydroxymethylglycinate) is a formaldehyde releasing preservative used in many 'natural' shampoos. Formaldehyde is a suspected carcinogen and is extremely toxic when inhaled or swallowed.
  5. Fragrances can contain allergens and senstisers, which can trigger asthma attacks. Fragrances also contain chemicals called phthalates, which are hormone disruptors that can affect foetal development and fertility and damage sperm in men.
  6. Ext. D&C synthetic colours are made from coal tar and are certified safe for drugs and cosmetics, but not for food. Toxic coal tar has been shown to be carcinogenic in animal tests, and many people are allergic to it.

Organic MiEssence Shampoo Ingredients:

  1. Coco Glucoside an extremely gentle, yet effective, cleansing agent made from glucose and coconut fatty acids. Non-toxic, fully biodegradable and mild on the skin.
  2. Certified Organic Aloe Vera has healing, soothing, antibacterial, and moisturising properties.
  3. Yucca Juice contains natural saponins that gently cleanse and repair damage to cell membranes of the scalp and skin, helping to prevent nutrient loss. Certified Organic Avocado Oil restores lustre to the hair and hydrates dry and damaged ends.
  4. Certified Organic Horsetail Extract is an effective remedy for psoriasis, dandruff, eczema, and similar skin conditions.
  5. Panthenol is the provitamin of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). It improves the moisture-retention capacity of the skin and stimulates skin regeneration. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effects. It makes hair easier to comb, reduces hair splitting, improves the condition of damaged hair, thickens the hair, and provides sheen.
  6. Bitter Orange Extract is a natural antibacterial agent that acts as a mild preservative in our hair care products.

Why

Conventional hair care products are based on artificial ingredients. That means that your hair and scalp receive unhealthy doses of toxic chemicals everytime you wash, condition and style it. Miessence hair care products are botanically based. Certified organic plants, herbs and flowers gently cleanse, condition, clarify, and protect to leave your hair silky soft, manageable, and with a shine others will notice!

It's time to be kind to your hair and put your toxic hair care products where they belong: in the garbage. To help you change over to the purest, certified organic hair care products on the market.

Testimonials

I recently had my hair cut for a shorter look and hadn't really used the Protect Hair Repair in the past, as my hair has been relatively healthy. I had some extra product [Hair Repair] that was going to expire, so I used it. What an absolutely great volumizer it is!! I just shampoo with the Desert Flower, a little Shine Herbal Hair Conditioner, spray some Protect Hair Repair on and a dab of Shape Styling Gel, rub them in well and blow dry. When I use a curling iron, it holds the curls all day long.

I really love your hair products. My hair is really soft with a nice shine and I get compliments on it all the time. Thank you!!
