***MAJOR TIP: Trim your ends regularly (by a professional). When you neglect to trim your ends, the split end continues to split up the hair shaft, thus, resulting in further hair damage. 

My scalp is always so dry. Why? If you are experiencing dry scalp you may want to reflect over your diet and consider the foods you are consuming on a daily basis. Most times when an individual experiences excessive dry scalp they may have a gut imbalance which causes their scalp to become inflamed and flaky. If you diet is fairly healthy, there are some remedies that treat dry scalp. Rosemary, Peppermint and Tea Tree oils are all great oils that can combat a dry, flaky scalp. When using these oils you want to be sure to dilute with a carrier oil like grape-seed or avocado oil.

I have scalp psoriasis. I have seborrheic dermatitis. Are your products safe for me?  Yes our products are safe for you to use as normal. Our customers with these scalp conditions use all of our products safely without any inflammation or irritation to the scalp.  

How do I obtain a curl pattern? If you want to obtain your natural curl pattern it is important to abstain from heated hairstyles. If you are flat ironing, hot curling or pressing your hair as often as every 2-3 times a month, it's very likely that your hair is considered to be "HEAT TRAINED". Heat trained hair has little to no curl pattern, you may see a loose wave but typically heat trained hair is not as curly.

***MAJOR TIP: In addition to abstaining from heat, you want to start deep conditioning once a week, implementing Apple Cider Vinegar hair rinses ONCE a month and most importantly leave your hair ALONE. Invest in protective styling, this will be the easiest way to obtain your curl pattern. 

***Please refer to our blog to learn more about Apple Cider Vinegar rinses.

Are your products safe for my infant/toddler? Yes. Lana Organix products can be used on infants and toddlers. The Honey Oil and the Honey Butter are recommended for patch testing.
