"The herbal scent is super calming and makes washing my hair feel like a little self-care moment. You only need a small amount, so the little bottle lasted longer than I expected for my long hair. My hair feels soft and refreshed without any heaviness. It’s quickly become one of my favourite shampoos."

Frequently asked questions about natural shampoo

Why choose an SLS-free and SLES-free natural shampoo?

SLS and SLES are harsh cleansing agents that can strip natural oils from the scalp and hair, leaving them feeling dry, tight or unbalanced.

Antipodes shampoos are free from SLS and SLES, using gentler plant derived surfactants to create a rich lather while helping maintain scalp comfort and healthy-looking hair.

Do natural shampoos lather properly?

Antipodes natural shampoos create a luxurious lather that effectively cleanses the scalp and hair. Because the formulas are professional-grade, a small amount goes a long way.

If you're new to silicone-free haircare, you may notice the second cleanse produces an even richer lather as product build-up is removed over time.

How do I choose the right natural shampoo?

All Antipodes shampoos are suitable for every hair type, from straight to coily, fine to coarse. Choose your shampoo based on your hair goals, rather than your hair type.

Fig + Feijoa Repair & Nourish range helps care for dry or damaged hair, Peach + Freesia Smooth & Hydrate range helps tame frizz and replenish hydration, Mānuka + Orange Volume & Shine range is ideal for fine, flat or oily hair seeking lightweight body and shine.

How often should I shampoo my hair?

Let your scalp guide you. Most people benefit from shampooing two to three times a week, although the ideal frequency depends on your hair type, scalp condition and lifestyle.

Fine or oil-prone hair may need washing more often, while curly, textured or dry hair often benefits from less frequent cleansing.

Why is silicone-free shampoo better for hair?

Silicones can coat the hair fibre, creating the appearance of smoothness and shine while making it harder for moisture and beneficial ingredients to reach the hair over time.

Antipodes natural shampoos are completely silicone-free, instead relying on clinically proven natural bioactives and pure New Zealand botanicals to leave hair feeling soft, smooth and healthy-looking.

Are natural shampoos suitable for colour-treated hair?

Yes. Antipodes natural shampoos are gentle enough for colour-treated hair. The Fig + Feijoa Repair & Nourish Shampoo is particularly well suited to coloured or damaged hair, featuring Peruvian black maca to help reinforce keratin proteins and protect hair from everyday stress.

Where can I buy SLS-free natural shampoo?

You can shop Antipodes haircare directly from our website, as well as selected pharmacies, department stores, health stores, salons, and beauty retailers.
