“I Switched to Low-Tox Shampoo & Here’s What Happened”

If you’ve ever thought about ditching your mainstream shampoo but weren’t sure if the switch was worth it, you’re not alone.
We hear this all the time from people who are curious about going cleaner but are worried their hair won’t feel the same.
The truth? It doesn’t feel the same.
It feels better.
Here’s what one of our customers, Kate, shared with us after trying BodFood for the first time:
“My hair felt soft, but not heavy. Clean, but not squeaky. It was the first time my scalp didn’t feel tight after washing. It just felt like my hair was cleaner, smoother and healthy after one wash and it’s got better and better with several washes”
That’s exactly what we’re here for.
The Low-Tox Transition: What to Expect
Switching to a low-tox shampoo isn’t like flipping a switch. Your hair (and scalp) might go through a bit of an adjustment period, especially if you’ve been using sulphates, non-soluble silicones, or cheap synthetic fragrances.
In the first week:
You might notice less lather, but more softness. Your scalp might tingle from essential oils or feel fresher from the clean rinse.
In the first month:
Your hair starts to feel lighter. Your natural texture wakes up. And that greasy-by-day-two feeling? It’s often gone. Your scalp is learning to self-regulate again.
After 30 days:
Your hair just makes sense. It’s easier to manage, less frizzy, more “you”. And you probably won’t want to go back.
What Makes It Work?
It’s all about formulation. At BodFood, we use:
-
Coconut-derived surfactants that cleanse without stripping
-
Plant-based humectants like glycerin and panthenol
-
Certified organic botanicals to nourish your scalp and ends
-
No parabens, sulphates, or non-biodegradable silicones
-
Fragrance blends certified by EcoMundo for safety
So your wash feels lush, but your scalp stays balanced, and your hair stays healthy over time.

Less Buildup, More You
Low-tox doesn’t mean low performance.
It means giving your hair what it actually needs and leaving out the stuff it doesn’t.
Because when you stop coating your hair with fillers and start nourishing it with real, functional ingredients?
It shows.
