Innersense Hair Products Review: Benefits, Ingredients, and Real Results
With the growing demand for safe and natural beauty products, Innersense Organic Beauty has emerged as a prominent brand, dedicated to purity, peace of mind, and self-care. This review delves into the benefits, ingredients, and real results of using Innersense hair products, offering insights for those seeking a clean and effective hair care routine.
The Appeal of Natural Hair Care
More and more people are opting for products that are ‘safe’ & natural to use. It isn’t easy to create products on mass scale that work as well without toxic chemicals and preservatives, which is why the ones that do are priced higher- please understand that as you continue to read. In the end, it’s all priorities. Many of the ingredients in conventional hair products contain harsh ingredients that strip your hair and once you stop using them you can begin to notice bigger problems. When you use truly natural and organic products like Innersense you will begin to notice a difference in how your hair looks and feels.
Traditionally, when we use conventional shampoo and conditioner we are accustomed to that slick, soft “clean” feeling. But, this is all surface. That clean, smooth feeling is really just ingredients that are left on the hair compared to your hairs actual condition.
Innersense: A Brand Overview
Innersense Organic Beauty is a company dedicated to purity, peace of mind, and the practice of self-care. We inspire personal attunement through the practice of self care. Innersense Organic Beauty is a love story between two seasoned beauty professionals who share a passion for health, hair, beauty and the planet. Greg and Joanne Starkman are pioneers who founded the brand in 2005 when they realized the need for clean, pure, organic and non-toxic professional quality hair care products. They trusted their innersense, sourcing the highest quality and Certified Organic ingredients, in the purest, most concentrated form, to create a complete, award-winning line of safe, sustainable and cruelty free personal care products.
Innersense prioritizes efficacy in the professional hair world and is also a Certified B-Corporation. Their brand claims to have products made for every hair type and texture. One thing I noticed on their bottles is their instructions include mind and body practices that offer a more “whole body” experience. “We are always honest with how we portray our products and their performance. As a licensed cosmetologist, my next move after reading their mission statement was to explore their wholesale policies. Most professional hair-care brands wholesale their products to licensed professionals for their use in the salon. I was pleased to learn that they do have a professional wholesale program and the reps were easy and prompt to work with!

Making the Switch to Natural Hair Care
If you are looking to make the switch to more natural hair care products, you will definitely want to read my Innersense hair review first. When I first made the switch to natural haircare products years ago, I tried a few different brands before I finally found one that I truly loved. Enter, Innersense!
The Detox Phase
This is most likely due to your hair detoxing from the conventional products you are used to using. Remember your hair is used to that “clean” feeling which is really just harsh ingredients that strip your hair and so when you make the switch your hair can freak out a bit. It is used to being more dried out and then overcompensating by producing more oil to nourish your hair. It takes about 6-8 weeks for your hair to go through this detox phase, but stick with it! I promise, the end results are so worth it.

Washing Frequency
Also, try not to wash your hair everyday, not only is it unnecessary it could also damage your hair. For reference, I only wash my hair about twice a week and I do hot yoga throughout the week, its all good! I use dry shampoo in between as needed.
