At True Concepts of Red Bank,New Jersey we are very concerned about living clean organic lifestyles.

Owner of the Salon Kim Katz believes what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in your body.It only take 26 seconds is all it takes for the chemicals in you hair care products to enter your bloodstream.

We wanted to find an alternative line of products that are truly organic, and only using natural ingredients.Without sacrificing great looks our organic products still result in great-looking, healthy hair and skin.

When ingredients are more plant based, the hair takes on a more natural balance. The hair can then take on its own shine and volume without using synthetic ingredients. Using all organic products, you eliminate the exposure to toxic ingredients, such as petro chemicals and all toxins.

Why are organic hair products and color more safe?

Following hair coloring, if you don't use organic products the harsh detergents in other mainstream products can damage the scalp and allow the toxins contained in most hair dye to pass easily through the scalp and enter the bloodstream.

For a decade Simply Organic has been educating consumers about harmful ingredients. Ingredients such as Propylene Glycol, Sodium Laurel Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Methyl, Propyl, Butyl or Ethyl Paraben, Diethanolamine (DEA), Phthalates, Artificial Fragrance and Artificial Color are commonly used as fillers because they are cheap and easy to produce. However, the effects of these chemicals are hazardous to your health.

Organic products are naturally antibacterial and extremely rich in protein, vitamins, and antioxidants essential to achieving and maintaining a healthy scalp and beautiful hair.

To make the transition to organic hair products allow your hair at least three to four days to fully detox. Since we no longer are applying cosmetic junk on top of your hair, it needs a few days to restore to its natural balance.

Some tips to keeping your hair healthy and looking strong:

Drink plenty of water: A dry scalp can lead to flakiness and cause the hair to thin.

Do not over-wash your hair by cleansing daily. Over-washing hair causes dried-out hair, color-fading, and depletes the hair of the hair of natural oils.

Use Organic Products- Use Organic Hair products that are good for your hair.

Trim The Ends Off-Get a trim every 6-8 weeks.Trimming the ends is important for the health of your hair and growth.

Eat Healthy-Eating the right foods will make you feel better and your hair become healthier,stronger,and grow faster. Proteins are a must.

Air Dry- The less heat,the better for your hair. The blow dryer and heat are one of the worst things for your hair.

Back off the heat. If you must blow dry your hair, hold the blow dryer at least six to eight inches away from your head.

Give your scalp a massage. For thicker hair, keeping the scalp loose by increasing blood flow through a light head massage is key.Increased circulation will help the hair grow faster.
