Shower talk - what's your routine?

July 04, 2019

Let’s talk business - shower business.

Simple for some and lengthy for others - a daily shower routine can differ depending on busyness, tiredness and intention. Do you have a hair mask to enjoy? Do you have some exfoliation to do? Are you testing out a new shampoo?

We all know it’s best to have a short and sweet shower - it’s another simple and effective way to help the environment on a daily basis.

We’ve curated some ideas to help you get the most out of your shower routine - whether it be a moment of self care or simply getting it done.

Lather up

Enter Bar None Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner Bars - lather, massage, rinse repeat. Enjoy the cheeky head massage and feel the effect of better, healthy ingredients on your hair. You’ll feel the softness of your locks post-shower and the volume when you style it up. Plus the products last longer than traditional shampoo and conditioner!

Exfoliate the natural way

A handful of brown sugar and a tbsp of olive oil is all you need - mix it up and take a minute in the shower to exfoliate from your ankles to your upper thighs and any winter dry spots! The brown sugar acts as a natural exfoliant eliminating any dead skin and the olive oil is a natural moisturiser.

Follow up with your go-to moisturiser and you’re set.

Love thy skin

Keen to do a face mask mid-shower to avoid mess? We’ve got you. In a bowl, mix approx. 200g of coconut yoghurt a tbsp of agave nectar and some oats (avoid snacking!) and gently massage into the face. The anti-inflammatory properties in the ingredients will leave your skin feeling luscious and smooth - just what we want.

4 common mistakes that are damaging your hair, and how to fix them

November 12, 2019

Drying your hair roughly with a towel may seem like a good idea, after all you’re avoiding applying heat which can dry out your hair. But it really depends on how you do it. Vigorously rubbing your hair dry with a towel aggravates the outside layer of your hair, the cuticle, meaning it can make your hair more frizzy and less shiny.

Natural rubber. What is it and what does it have to do with your hair?

September 16, 2019

Natural rubber is made from the sap of the hevea brasiliensis or ‘rubber tree’ which produces a natural latex. It’s been harvested for over 3500 years.

Natural rubber is super resilient and has a higher tensile strength than synthetic rubber, meaning it takes more force to tear it apart and break it. Great for when you need just one more twist of the hair tie!
