How to choose organic products
The first step to using organic cosmetics is towards your bathroom cabinet!
Rule One: Zero Waste
Read the labels of the products you already have at home , they all have a list of ingredients.
Some of these, although safe, are not used in organic cosmetics and are replaced by other ingredients of natural origin.
Reading labels can be tricky at first , but it will help you become familiar with common cosmetic ingredients and, over time, you will learn which ingredients your skin and hair particularly like and which ones are not for you.
Even though the temptation to clean out is strong, the first rule of Yumibio is: zero waste ! Finish the products you already have at home: if there are a lot of them or if they are no longer suitable for you, you can give them away or use them for new purposes.
Did you know that shampoo is also excellent as a body cleanser or for delicate clothes, while conditioner is an excellent alternative hair wash?
Which organic products to buy
While you finish your old products, you can already think about the new ones!
Among organic cosmetics you will find many different products, rich in active ingredients that take care of your hair; at first they will all seem indispensable and you will discover that some of these products will really make the difference.
However, I advise you not to buy many products right away, but to start with a few products, perhaps versatile and multipurpose.
In the first few weeks of switching to organic cosmetics, you may in fact discover that your hair is different from what you thought : this happens because some ingredients in traditional cosmetics create a film on the hair that - in the long run - can weigh it down and make it appear different from what it actually is.
To get started you will need:
Organic shampoo
Shampoo should be chosen based on the needs of your skin.
I recommend starting with a delicate shampoo , also suitable for frequent washing: this will help you understand the real condition of your scalp. Later on, you can then add a shampoo for dry hair or a shampoo for greasy hair, with specific active ingredients for your needs. An excellent example of a shampoo to start your natural hair routine in the best way is the Delicate Shampoo by Yu !
Extra tip : also buy a shampoo dispenser . Organic shampoos produce less foam than traditional ones and you may be tempted to use more product than necessary.
I therefore recommend that you dilute the shampoo (for medium-length hair, 10 ml of shampoo and 30 ml of water are sufficient), so that you can distribute it more easily on your hair, avoiding waste.
Organic conditioner or organic mask
These are products that are used after shampooing to untangle hair and remove knots ; they are always enriched with specific active ingredients and should be chosen based on the needs of the length of the hair.
The mask is richer than the conditioner and should be left on for a few minutes (better if at least 5-10) to benefit from its active ingredients.
A great product to start with is the Yuniwa Cosmetics mask : it detangles even the most unruly hair and is rich in illuminating and strengthening active ingredients. This makes it perfect for the first periods, when hair may appear duller, drier and more opaque.
Plus, it has a super-cuddly scent of pears and vanilla, which has made many of our customers fall in love!
Leave in and styling products
These are products that are applied after rinsing out the mask or conditioner and are used to style the hair or to combat frizz or to protect it from the heat of the hairdryer .
These products should be chosen based on the needs of your lengths: if you have curly hair you will need products to define and shape them, if you have frizzy hair you will need an anti-frizz product, if you have dry and treated hair you will instead need a restructuring product.
When choosing a product, also consider the consistency: sprays and gels are usually lighter and also suitable for fine hair that gets dirty easily . If, on the other hand, you have dry and damaged hair, a cream or oil that provides more nourishment is better .
