The Natural Edit- Healthy hair and skincare

Over the past few weeks, I have been slowly incorporating more natural and organic products into my daily routine, now when I say that I should specify that over the past few years I have been using more natural haircare and skincare products, but not organic and completed unprocessed. But Over the past few weeks it has reached new levels of natural-ness ( yes its a word lets just roll with it).

The interest in the natural and organic skincare was sparked by Cloudy Apples on youtube A.K.A Kassie, who has the most beautiful skin and hair and literally just glows! After watching (Stalking) a lot of her videos I was inspired to start my own journey of organic and natural skincare.

One of the products that Kassie raves about is raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, she uses it as a toner and I thought that with its multi use and great healing and toning properties, I would invest in my own bottle of it and chuck it into my daily routine, not just on my skin but in my hair also. Another product Kassie convinced me I needed in my life was Manuka Honey- for all those nasty little red spots on my skin aswell as an all other mask for my face and hair.

Along those lines I have decided to try using a completely organic and natural haircare routine, Im going to try the controversial "no Poo" method which involves giving shampoos and conditioners the flick and opting for baking soda or honey washes and apple cider vinegar rinses in order to keep your hairs natural oils in there un-affected state and overall promote healthy hair and scalp.

My hair before- looking dry and limp
Using this technique along with light mistings of the oils pictured above, im going to try and get my hair into the best condition it has ever been in ( for probably the cheapest price). Now before I can begin this method I have to cleanse and detoxify my hair of all silicones and nasties that commercial hair products normally contain, and I am going to use the mukti botaniques herbal shampoo to do this, pictured above, this shampoo is a very cleansing and clarifying shampoo that is made with all natural ingrediants, for those of you who do not want to brave the "no Poo" method, I highly recommend the mukti products for an all organic haircare range.

This is a picture of how my hair looks before I have done my clarifying and before I have started the "no poo" method, I will keep you all updated on the process and how I have found it. I have also filmed a video on my youtube channel about my more natural regimes here  if you were interested in checking it out.

On top of the more natural hair and skincare, I have also been trying to incorporate more natural products into my everyday makeup routine, Please stay tuned for The Natural Edit Part 2 for the makeup products I have been using and my thoughts on them.
