Hair Detox

You may experience a hair detox for the first few weeks with Miessence hair products if you have been using hair care with silicone derivatives. Commercial hair care products often leave your hair coated with plastic from the silicone derivatives (dimethicone, cylcomethicone, any chemical with ‘cone’ in it) they contain.

Miessence shampoos will not foam and the hair care will not work effectively until you have removed this coating by detoxing your hair. This can be done a number of ways:

• Over time - using our products until it happens (slowly - the clarifying hair rinse will assist)

• Detoxing your hair with a few baths of 1 cup sea salt, 1 cup apple cider vinegar 2 cups bicarb soda (hop in the bath and swish your hair around in it)

• Making a paste of bicarb soda and our shampoo and washing your hair with it a few times

• Making a paste of clay (one of our masks - or just clay from the health food store) with our shampoo and washing your hair with that a few times.

While your hair is detoxing, it may feel dry and knotty. This is normal, as the hair is eliminating the silicone from your hair. Once they have been dissolved, you will find our shampoo foams and your hair is silky and soft.
