My hair has never been my best feature (honestly even a passable feature). Its super thin and fine and gets frizzy in humidity. I am not a fan of my hair. It falls quite a bit as well so I am really careful with the products I use on it. Recently I have been on a natural shampoo trip. I have been trying to do this all around and follow a better hair care routine, but have been extra careful about using natural shampoos because of how fragile my hair is.
These are the three I have been rotating and using.
-
Neo Veda Cederwood, Basil and Rosemary Shampoo
I picked this up on my way back from India in August and have been using it off and on ever since. I feel it makes my hair less frizzy without making it dry. Honestly I wish I could use it more often but I am scared its going to get over!
Pros: no parabens.
Cons: not easily available in the UK but can be ordered online on Amazon.
2. Apivita Shampoo Propoline
I love everything about this brand! I was in Corfu and frantically buying everything with olive oil in it when my Greek friend mentioned she is a big fan of this Greek brand. So I bought one bottle of their shampoo to try. And how I wished I had bought many many more! On my trip to Barcelona, I hunted for Apivita products in every Barcelona pharmacy and finally found one.
I usually use the shampoos made for thinning hair since my hair is very thin and scanty. I cannot say its made my hair any thicker but I definitely see the difference in the quality of my hair when I use an Apivita shampoo versus any other. It looks healthier, shiner.
Pros: natural, no synthetics and parabens.
Cons: not easily available since its only available in Harvey Nichols and they don’t seem to have everything in stock. They don’t use other animal products but do use bee products.
3. Lush Spicy and Stimulating Shampoo Bar
This is the shampoo I use on a regular basis. I really really like it. This shampoo is basically said to promote healthy hair and stimulate hair follicles. I won’t say that I now have shampoo commercial quality hair but I do feel there is less hair fall. And as with other Lush products, I love the clean, minimal packaging and almost all-natural ingredients.
Pros: natural, minimal packaging, very travel friendly since its solid so doesn’t count to your liquid count.
Cons: nothing I can think of!
So what shampoo do you use? I am curious to know. Are you curious to try any of the ones I listed?
I had a super fun night so wanted to brag about it! In case you didn’t hear (even though I have been shouting from the rooftops) I went for Kenzo x HM preview and got this top (since I could not afford the dress I wanted) and this sweatshirt. Unfortunately I realised the sweatshirt is from the men’s section so its a little big. I’ll sleep on it and figure out what to do. The preview event was super fun – a DJ playing some super music, beautiful cocktails and chocolates. I took a lot of pictures and videos which you can find on our Instagram stories – check these out quickly because they will dissappear in a day! You can also read our review of H&M’s previous deisgner collabration with Balmain.
Also I hope you are aware that we have opened up our sari shop online! Take a look – you can buy them online straight from our website. We really hope you like them – we do. 🙂

I have to use a medicated shampoo as I have a really dry scalp. As soon as I stop using it I get really flakey. It’s rubbish as I never get to experiment with shampoos!

So I am thinking maybe I need to start using some of your medical shampoo…
This lush Spicy and Stimulating shampoo bar sounds amazing.

Hi Nina – try it out its pretty good!
Lush products are great! xx, Erin – http://www.stylebythepeople.com
I have been using natural shampoo for almost a year now. My first natural shampoo I ever used was the new shampoo bar from lush and loved it so much. It made my hair grow as fast as wild fire. I had baby hair growing like crazy. Then one day it finished Went to repurchase and ended up wanting to try a new one and got this yellow in colour shampoo bar (forgot the name) which does the completely opposite to what new shampoo bar did. I also use the ginger shampoo from body shop now and then to keep my dry scalp in check.
Hey Chinella. You think using natural shampoo is better for your hair? Have you used this pink one – it’s pretty good. Which was the first one you tried? I will check out the body shop shampoo. I remember using some tropical rainforest shampoo from Body Shop and didn’t like it. Maybe I need to recheck Body Shop again.
Nice post. I would like to try the third one. 🙂
Please try it – let me know how it works for you?
I think that your hair is beautiful:) I would love to try one of those products- it’s fantastic that they are so natural.. Are they sulphate free as well?:)
I use the Elvive thickening shampoo after I read some comments on Sali Hughes column about it being too drying for some people! I have thick hair already so can’t comment on that aspect but my hair is much less oily and easier to manage.
That sounds good! I’ll give it a try as well!
