Natural hair and body care: gentler routines and simple recipes

Wash less, condition more

Most hair does well with two or three washes a week. Shampoo the scalp, condition the lengths, rinse cool and dry gently. Fine hair wants lighter products; curly hair wants more moisture and less brushing.

A weekly hair treatment

Warm a tablespoon of olive or coconut oil, work it into the lengths (not the scalp if it gets oily), leave it for 30 minutes, then shampoo and condition as usual. Once a week is plenty.

Homemade body care

Quick win

Keep a scrub jar dry: use a clean spoon, never wet fingers, and it will not grow mould.

Deodorant and teeth

A deodorant handles smell; an antiperspirant reduces sweat. If you switch to a natural deodorant and get a rash, a baking-soda-free formula is often gentler. For teeth, keep brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss, change your brush every three months and see a dentist regularly.

Your new natural deodorant gives you a rash. Most likely cause?

FAQ

Questions people ask about hair & body

How often should I wash my hair?

Two or three times a week suits most hair. Oily scalps may need more, curly hair often less.

Is coconut oil good for hair?

It makes a lovely pre-wash treatment on the lengths, washed out after.

Why does natural deodorant give me a rash?

Baking soda is a common cause. Try a baking-soda-free formula and patch test.

Should I stop using fluoride toothpaste?

Dentists recommend fluoride for most people. Ask your dentist before changing.
