You've all read our blog on activated charcoal (that you take internally), and why it is so amazing, but who would’ve thought it could work on your hair too!

Don't get us wrong, we don't mean you can go and use any old charcoal on your hair. Organic Colour Systems (OCS) have done all the hard work for us here. And this one comes with a BANG!

SO...whats so great about this new baby? 

Like all of their products, OCS Charcoal Shampoo is pH balanced. It sits at a gentle 5.5 so it works with the hair, skin and scalp naturally. It contains 6 certified organic ingredients and 15 naturally derived ingredients. And when it comes to the smell, clients have been blown away. Charcoal Shampoo contains the natural aromatic of Chinese red apple and smells divine. 

But here's the best thing about this amazing new shampoo...

As many of you know, we detox every client's hair before we colour. Previously this was a service we were only able to offer in salon. But now, with the new Charcoal Shampoo at your fingertips, you can keep your hair detoxed at home yourselves! 

Why is detoxing your hair important?

Because when our hair is constantly coated it suffocates, and can get heavy and hard to manage. Build up on hair can even dull your colour! And there are loads of reasons we see build up on hair...

In Sale, we find many clients were coming in with an excessive build up on their hair, which turned out to be our local water! Sale water, as it turns out, is very hard water that leaves an unwanted coating of the hair. But this is nothing a regular detox won't deal to. 

Swimmers who are constantly in chlorine can also benefit from a regular detox. Swimmers often find their hair gets matted, slimy and hard to maintain. It can even start getting a green tinge if their hair is blonde! Chlorine build-up can be awful for your locks, those of you with active kids who love the water will know all about it.

Build up from the products we use on a daily basis also needs removing. Even products that use water soluble silicons can build up on the hair over time, especially if silicone and oil is used heavily in a number of the products you use every day.  

But it's not just external factors that can cause build-up issues. Those who experience an excessively oily scalp, teenagers in particular spring to mind here, will benefit from a regular detox. And that teenage son of yours who seems to have a major aversion to washing his hair....this could be just what the hair fairly ordered! 

Our new Charcoal Shampoo really is for everyone, which is why it's simply flying off the shelves. You can use it as your everyday shampoo or in conjunction with your prescribed range, and It's suitable for any hair colour too!!

How does it work?

It absorbs any unwanted oils, dirt or toxins from the hair and scalp. And will rid you (or that son of yours we mentioned before) of any unpleasant smells! Remember that magnet we described in our charcoal blog, this shampoo works the same. It attracts what is not wanted and washes it away with water.  Leaving you with that squeaky clean feeling you're chasing. 

What are the benefits? 

Where do we start… Lets break it down to our two superstar Ingredients:

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL - its all natural!!! We could just end it there but there are so many benefits of this super ingredient...

Activated charcoal has anti bacterial and anti fungal properties. This is the perfect way to rid the scalp and hair of the unwanted bacteria and fungi which cause disturbances in the homeopathy of skin and hair. It can promote hair growth. And dandruff be gone! Activated charcoal also assists in removing sebum and dead skin. It also has antimicrobial activities to help with scalp infections. 

FRUIT VINEGAR

Fruit vinegar is derived from apple, apricot and peach. Its rich in sugar, mineral salts (potassium) Vitamins (A,B,C) and abundant in natural acids (citric, magic and free aminos). It has conditioning properties that give resilience, shine and body to the hair. 

If that hasn’t convinced you this product is a need not a want lets talk about the effect on our environment!

This Charcoal Shampoo is a natural exfoliant. It doesn’t damage the environment like many current exfoliants do. They contain plastic pellets that pollute the environment and damage our aquatic life. Think of that poor baby dolphin - I know we don’t want to be responsible for any harm caused to their home. 

We then move into the current situation of COVID 19.

This shampoo can double up as a hand soap!

Because Charcoal Shampoo is black you are able to see where you've washed and, maybe more importantly, where you have not. When using clear coloured soap this is not always very obvious. Add that with the antibacterial/anti-fungal properties, it's great foaming action, and charcoal's effective absorption of dirt and particulants and it's clear that using Charcoal Shampoo as a hand wash is a great option. 

And, seeing as we're all in Self iso, we've made this fab new shampoo super easy to access.

Check out our online store and we will get it in your hands ASAP.
