Why I rarely wash my hair

- January 15, 2018

Last year, I posted my hair routine and that routine hasn't changed much... except for the shampoo. Which has changed my life.

This is what happened. The brand Maple Holistics reached out to me back in October asking me to test out their shampoo and review it. I said yes and decided to try it out. I was iffy at first because it's all natural and organic so I thought it was not going to be soapy, not going to cleanse my hair, and I was going to have to wash my hair like every day which is my worse nightmare. But NOPE, it's the exact opposite.... I love this shampoo! This shampoo is the reason why I feel like my hair has gotten more soft. I even dyed the ends of my hair a couple of months ago and this shampoo has kept the ends soft despite the damage I did, lol. But I am going to list the pros and cons here.

Cons

The smell is not bad, but I think some people might not like it. It has a very natural, earthy smell, so if you don't like that scent, you probably won't like this. But it's not super strong and shouldn't bother you once you get out of the shower.
You have to apply and rinse it out twice. so basically you have to shampoo twice and then condition (if you condition) so it's quite time consuming.
Not very soapy, foamy, or lathery if that makes any sense. But once again, this depends on your preferences, because I personally like that soapy foamy feeling in my hair and the fact that this doesn't get really soapy and foamy does bother me. 🙈

Pros

It leaves your hair feeling super soft!
It is not made of many chemicals... it is made with lots of oils which are so healthy for your hair and body. You're not putting a bunch of nasty chemicals in your hair.
My favorite thing of all: GUYS. It does not make your hair greasy super quickly. I don't wash my hair frequently, usually 2-3 times a week, but with this shampoo I've gotten it down to once a week. Something that I have not been able to do with any of my previous shampoos.
So basically you rarely have to wash your hair which is amazing because if you're lazy like me it works to your benefit!! 😅

Despite the few cons, I think it's worth it and I highly suggest it mostly because it's more natural and better for your hair. I rarely wash my hair now and it is working to my benefit because I was already so lazy with washing my hair. I had a brand new bottle of shampoo sitting in my bathroom before receiving this and I don't even use it because I love this shampoo so much more!

This is what my hair looks like naturally. I don't see any difference after using it when it comes to volume and frizz, but the softness has increased and greasiness has decreased.

Despite the fact that I love this shampoo, I will say that we all have different types of hair. What works for me might not work for you, but if you're willing to try out something different and a little more natural, I definitely recommend this shampoo.

Here's what my bottle looks like! the bottle looks full but I keep the bottle flipped upside down in the shower so i don't have to wait for it to come out #lazy
