True happiness often springs from life’s simple pleasures, like the warmth of sunlight or a cat’s cuddling. These moments of grace infuse our daily lives with joy, reminding us that contentment doesn’t require grand gestures.
Similarly, hair care is more than a routine, it’s a celebration of self. Each brush stroke and every wash is a reaffirmation of our identity and the joy we find in self-care. As we cleanse our hair, we also rejuvenate our spirit, reflecting the inner happiness we nurture.
Embracing a hair care routine is like embracing joy itself. It requires patience and dedication. Regular trims, applying masks, and gentle brushing are acts of care that ensure our hair grows strong and healthy, reflecting the love we give ourselves.
But be aware; that using multiple products will leave a film or residue on our hair a build-up of such from many products.
Innersense Organic Beauty aligns with this philosophy, offering products that are not just about cleansing, but cleansing from the cleaners, removing build-up and using kind and caring ingredients. Founded by two seasoned beauty professionals, Greg and Joanne Starkman, the brand was born out of a desire to create clean, pure, and organic hair care products. A brand built from true passion and love of their profession and also, developed around caring and joy.
Their journey began in 2005, driven by a shared passion for health, hair, beauty, and the planet. It took them years of dedication to develop a line of products free from ‘dirty’ ingredients such as parabens, silicones, sulphates and synthetic fragrances. But that is not all. The care they show to our earth is also shown in the very core and attitude of the brand and its founders
It is their personal lives that draw so much of the love and joy into the brand. The founders’ daughter Morgan was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome at 22 months old, their key way to help ensure she has the best life was advice they were given, “trust your inner sense.” hence the name of the brand. And that they did.
She works for the brand as Director of Joy. The role is embodied by her, she brings her own infectious enthusiasm and positivity to the brand. Her responsibilities include checking in on the salon network, ensuring that owners and stylists are well-supported, and spreading joy and motivation throughout the community. This means it’s not just about the joy of the energy in the company but how this spread out to salons and even to the products
The essence of Innersense Organic Beauty lies in its commitment to hair detox. This process is not just about cleansing but about nurturing and revitalising the hair with the same love and attention we give our skin. Hair detox is integral to the brand’s DNA, emphasising the removal of buildup and the nourishment of the scalp to promote healthy hair growth.
As for the products, Innersense Organic Beauty offers a range of items designed to align with their philosophy of clean beauty. Some of their popular products include:
Detox Hair Mask: This clarifying treatment is designed to remove buildup and impurities without stripping the hair of natural oils. Ingredients like charcoal, kaolin clay, and certified organic white vinegar work together to draw out microparticles, leaving hair refreshed and revitalised.
Colour Radiance Daily Conditioner: A nourishing conditioner for medium texture, colour, and chemically treated hair.
Sweet Spirit Leave-In Conditioner: A lightweight detangling spray that boosts moisture.
Colour Awakening Hairbath: A gentle cleansing shampoo for medium texture, colour, and chemically treated hair.

Each product is crafted with care, ensuring that every step of your hair care routine is an act of self-love and a celebration of life’s journey.
Innersense Organic Beauty is the maestro of this symphony, orchestrating a blend of purity and care that resonates with our soul’s desire for natural well-being.
And how do we wash our hair properly? Here are a few key tips
Soak hair with warm water before shampooing, really let the hair get nice and socked.
Start shampooing at the root we usually start at the bottom but far better to begin at top.
Scrub your scalp, not your hair, after all, that is where the oil and build-up starts.
Rinse and repeat if necessary clean your hair twice only if you need to
Rinse shampoo thoroughly, and wash that product out of your hair.
Apply conditioner on the bottom half of the hair again the conditioner is for the hair, not the scalp, if you want to look after your scalp use specific products for this
Rinse the conditioner with cold water, not warm or hot water.
Returning to the essence, where the dance of life began, we find solace in the simple, yet profound joys it mirrors this essence, guiding us back to the pure joy found in the everyday, and reminding us that the journey of haircare is, indeed, a joyful journey of life.
Each strand of hair has its own tale, echoing the laughter, the challenges, and the triumphs we encounter. By choosing Innersense, we choose to honour our narratives with the same care and attention we give to our most cherished daily rituals.
