1. Ojon Full Detox™ Rub-out™ Dry Cleansing Powder
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/11/06035834_2764_521x473.jpg)
Give your hair a break from the harsh sulfates and surfactants with one of the best dry shampoos of all, found in the Ojon Full Detox Rub-Out product. The soap bark tree extract in this product is traditionally used by indigenous communities in the Amazon as a natural cleanser. This special extract absorbs excess oil and the non-aerosol applicator tip allows you to apply the powder directly to hair close to the root. This is, quite possibly, the easiest detox going!
