Shampoo

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.

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.

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.

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.
