These formulas contain nourishing ingredients that increase the moisture reserves in the scalp and hair. Other nutrients assist with the overall well-being of the hair and scalp which naturally maintains healthier hair.

See above. If your hair gets tangled after shampooing, try using a wide tooth comb and gently combing hair while Silk Essence Conditioner is on wet hair; then rinse out conditioner without scrunching or re-tangling hair. Some also find it helpful to add a little Rich Moisture Lotion to the hair after towel drying before re-combing with wide toothcomb. People with naturally curly hair or chemically processed (and damaged hair) have become used to the typical hair conditioners which provide detangling via fabric softeners called Quaternary compounds. We do not recommend these as safe ingredients due to the possible health side effects that they may cause.

Silk Essence Shampoo and Conditioner may assist your hair and scalp in releasing accumulated toxins (plastics from hair spray, chemicals and synthetics from other shampoos and conditioners, environmental toxins, etc.). The flakes you notice may simply be the dry, dead scalp cells that had previously been restrained from exfoliating by the ingredients in the products you used before. Dryness in the scalp and hair may be those toxins releasing. Some people have found that it helps to rub any of the following products into their scalp (all are left on until the next shampoo except Scrub which is usually rinsed out after 10-30 minutes): Energizer Purifying Gel; Clarifying Facial Cleanser, Herbal Exfoliating Scrub; Rich Moisture Cream; MSM Lotion; or Rejuvenating Body Lotion. Many have experienced wonderful success and after a short period of time now love the Organic Essentials hair products and love their hair. It may take two to six weeks for your body to complete this detoxification process. You also can try using the Nourishing Body Cleanser, Clarifying Facial Cleanser (or combination of the two) in place of the Silk Essence Shampoo.
