Lets talk about simple beauty!
Haircare, skin routines, makeup, and a little bit of health that are aimed to be on the simple side.
It can be but is not limited to;
- fewer ingredients
- less intrusive and more gentle ingredients
- food or non/lightly processed products
- nopoo / lowpoo
- ‘no makeup’ makeup
- homemade products
A lot would say this is natural beauty, and I guess it is but I keep thinking there are a lot of dangerous ingredients that are natural too, like asbestos.

It is much easier to give advice if we know what climate you are in and in what country/area you live. Tell us what type of climate you're in and what area you live in, example:
Mild summers & cold winters, North Europe, Sweden -
Skin/hair type
Different skin and hair types need different types of products. Remember that these can change due to your overall health, season, and age.

This is not nearly finished, but it's something at least.
What is my hair type?
Hair shape, is it straight, curly, or wavy?
Hairstraind thickness, how thick is an individual hair?
F - Fine hair strands, can barely see or feel them when rolled between fingers.
M - Medium hair strands, in between fine and coarse, are fairly easy to see and feel kind of like a regular sewing thread.
C - Coarse hair strands, easy to see even against backgrounds with the same color, feels stiff between fingers and when you roll it back and forth, you might actually hear it.
Hair volume, how thick is the volume of your hair?
To measure this you need to put all of your hair in a ponytail and measure its circumference.
i - thin, less than 5 cm / 2 inches
ii - average, between 5-10 cm / 2-4 inches
iii - thick, more than 10 cm / 4 inches
Combining these, you get your hair type like this: 3B/C/ii
How to measure hair lengths
What is my skin type?
Oily skin.
Dry skin.
Sensitive skin.
Combination skin.
Normal skin.
How do I remove buildups from my hair?
It's a schampoo used to remove buildups from your hair, it can be used for a while before you start to use low-/no-poo hair producs or on occations to do a cleansing.
This schampoo needs to contain sulfates to cleans but it can't contain silicons, mineral olies or other products that will build up on your hair.
