FAQ
Why is my shampoo not lathering as much during washes?
Less lather can actually be a good sign. Sulfate-free shampoos skip the harsh surfactants like SLS that create big lather but also strip your scalp's natural oils. Raw Sugar formulas still cleanse effectively: they're just gentler about it. If you experience no lather, you may be dealing with buildup; a clarifying shampoo like The Deep Cleanse Clarifying Shampoo may help break through residue without over-drying.
How often should I wash my hair?
Most hair types do well with 2 to 3 washes per week. If you have a dry scalp or curly hair, washing less frequently may help retain moisture. Oily scalps may benefit from more regular cleansing with a gentle, sulfate-free formula. Between washes, The Rosemary Vinegar Hair Rinse works as the perfect dry shampoo alternative to refresh your scalp without a full wash.
How does your apple cider vinegar hair rinse, The Rosemary Vinegar Hair Rinse Shampoo Alternative work?
The Rosemary Vinegar Hair Rinse uses apple cider vinegar to help balance the scalp's natural pH, reduce light buildup, and add shine with no lather required. Use it as a shampoo alternative between wash days or as a refreshing scalp rinse after cleansing. Apply to damp hair, wait one minute, then rinse. It may help soothe the scalp and leave strands looking smoother.
How is Raw Sugar shampoo different from others?
Raw Sugar shampoos skip the SLS/SLES, parabens, phthalates, and silicones, which are common ingredients in conventional formulas that can strip moisture and irritate the scalp. Instead, we formulate our products to help keep you clean and help you feel even better with purposeful ingredients like rosemary, apple cider vinegar, aloe, and jojoba that may help nourish your scalp with every wash. Learn more about Raw Sugar’s purposeful ingredients and how they keep you refreshingly clean, smelling good, and feeling even better.
Are Raw Sugar shampoos safe for color-treated hair?
Yes! Raw Sugar shampoos are formulated without harsh sulfates like SLS and SLES, which are known to strip color and moisture. This makes them gentle on color-treated hair. For even longer-lasting color results, try using The Color Renew Shampoo, specially formulated to help keep your color vibrant.
Does Raw Sugar make a shampoo for curly hair?
Yes. The Mighty Curl Shampoo (Rosemary + Cider Vinegar) is designed to gently cleanse, balance the scalp, and help define natural curl patterns while fighting frizz. For nourishing moisture that curls crave, consider our curly hair care collection with conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and hair mask to help bring out your best curls.

The Rosemary Vinegar Hair Rinse offers a gentler dry shampoo alternative between wash days, while The Mighty Curl Shampoo is designed to define curls and fight frizz. Enjoy clean, purposeful ingredients, wash after wash.
