Now, if you’re thinking about switching to using natural hair care product, you likely have a variety of questions ranging from "What’s in it?" to "Does it actually clean my hair?"
We’ve put together a simple list of your natural hair care FAQs for you to delve into to better understand why switching to natural is both safe and effective.
Choose the best fit for your hair type and pair it with our ultimate natural conditioner. That's it, your hair care routine is complete. The latest hair care technology respects your hair, and the result is healthy, balanced, beautiful hair.
Our shampoos are already nourishing as they are. To get the most out of your natural conditioner, we recommend using only a small amount on the tips of your hair for soft, smooth, detangled strands. Since our shampoos are non-stripping, using our conditioner on your roots and scalp may leave your hair heavy. For the time being we've only created one superhero conditioner formula for all hair types, Wild Kindness Natural Conditioner, available scented with Orange & Jasmine, Rosemary Mint or Scent Free.
While testing our conditioner with consumers, we found that overcomplicating the offering was unnecessary. Everyone wanted a conditioner that served the key traits of detangling, smoothing, softening, and hydrating. So we created the ultimate conditioner. We ensured that the scent blend worked beautifully with all of the shampoo scents!
Yes. We’ve never used sulfates and we never will.
Sulfates are used in non-natural hair care as they lather well, which loosens up the grease on your hair to ultimately wash it away and clean it. The problem? Well, sulfates (or SLS) are a known irritant, causing a host of skin problems, including drying. The chemical is also bad for the environment once washed down the drain. We’ve never used sulfates in any of our products, and we never will.
The saponins in the soap nut extract do foam, with additional foaming coming from the coco betaine, which is made from coconut oil and beetroot extract.
Yes, it really does! Our Wild Kindness Shampoo uses some amazing ingredients to keep your hair clean and healthy:
Soap Nut Aqueous Extract & Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate
These plant-based cleansers gently remove dirt and unwanted build-up. Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate is an amino acid (the building blocks of protein) & Soap Nut extract is the cleanser from the shell of the soapberry.
Cellulose
Cellulose is the fibre component of a plant’s structure. This agent binds to the clean hair to help rebuild and condition, improving shine, smoothness, moisture-retention and combing.
We always recommend using it for a month. If you are switching from regular product to ours, your scalp (like your armpits when switching to a natural deodorant) will go through a purge. Your scalp will get rid of the build-up of "stuff" from the other product. Be patient, and see it through. It's worth it!
Our Wild Kindness Hair Care line all have biological pH, however, the Wild Kindness - Volume & Clarifying have a slightly higher pH to give thinner hair volume without weighing it down. All the pHs are between 5-7.
Yes! The colour on your hair is usually deposited on the hair shaft through a chemical process. These hair care products will not negatively interact with this process or its effects.
All of the shampoo formulas are formulated for healthy, balanced hair and scalp, whether wavy, curly or straight. If there are other outcomes desired, like volume or moisture, the customer can choose a different shampoo blend to meet their exact needs, that will also meet the needs of their curls.
All of our shampoos have some amount of hydration and nourishment. However, if you have dry or damaged hair, the Wild Kindness Shampoo - Cedarwood & Lime is your go-to.
Again, the products are formulated for healthy, balanced hair and scalp. Some customers may find the Nourish & Protect blend with Rosemary & Mint to offer them a tingling and refreshing experience.
Unfortunately, none of the Wild Kindness Shampoos and Conditioners are considered an effective treatment for psoriasis.
For children under 2, we would advise only using only a small amount of our Scent Free Shampoo however please be advised this product is not tested for use on infants. For older children, any scent can be used however many Rocky kids love our Root Beer Shampoo.
This can be simply due to different hair types and finding which works best for you! We offer three different formulas so you can match it to your specific hair needs.
Right now, we have formulated our hair care to work well on most hair types. Stay tuned as we are always creating though!
The recipes are not formulated with gluten-containing ingredients, however, our facility is not considered gluten-free and so we cannot guarantee that there has not been cross-contamination. If someone has a gluten contact skin allergy, we would not recommend use.
These products have not been formulated with any animal products and we never test on animals.
The slight scent comes from the natural scent of the soap nut extract and smells similar to tamarind. There are no essentials oils added to these products and never anything synthetic.
The light colour of these products comes from either humic acid and/or soap nut extract and will disappear as soon as you lather up. No colour will deposit on to your hair, tub or shower.
The light yellow comes from the Blood Orange essential oil.

Thank you Monica for your question!
Our Vanilla Coconut Shampoo will be a great option for you and it’s our most cleansing formula thanks to two natural acids – lactic and humic acid. These natural acids will help you get a deeper clean and it’s also a great option for people who want more volume but do not need the extra hydration.
Best of luck and please feel free to reach out to us via live chat or email if you’d like to chat further.
