The Best Natural Ingredients for Beautiful Hair
Natural hair loves natural ingredients! We think there's no better way to treat your tresses than to nourish them with beautiful ingredients found in nature.
This week, we are taking a closer look at what's inside some of our favourite hair products for natural hair. What makes the natural ingredients they're infused with so special, and so effective?
In recent years, there has been a shift towards purchasing more eco-friendly, natural and sustainable hair and beauty products. Not only do these ‘green beauty’ products positively affect the environment, they are also much better for us. We've selected some of the best haircare from our #SelfRecognition flyer to bring you a guide to the naturally derived ingredients they contain, so you can see just why they're so good. Let's get into it!
Jamaican Black Castor Oil
Jamaican Black Castor Oil is perfect for all hair types and textures because it works on the hair roots/follicles and not the hair itself. It helps to moisturize, thicken, strengthen and rapidly increase hair growth. It also prevents hair breakage, dandruff, eczema and dry, itchy scalp — and a healthy scalp means healthy hair!
Shea Moisture's Jamaican Black Castor Oil range also contains other fabulous natural ingredients, such as organic shea butter and peppermint, to leave hair soft, manageable and shiny.
Coconut Oil
The amazing properties of coconut oil help to enrich our hair, mainly due to its high composition of saturated fats. As a natural ingredient, it adds gloss and shine, encourages hair growth, repairs damaged hair, reduces dandruff, and it's a great detangler!
Use Shea Moisture's Coconut & Hibiscus range — also containing silk proteins and neem oil — to restore moisture and condition hair without weighing it down for bouncy, healthy waves, curls and kinks.
Coconut Milk
The meat of a coconut can be either dried or pressed to produce coconut milk. It contains lauric acid which gives it anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties that are great for the scalp. Coconut milk is known to revitalize your hair with moisture and hydration, and it also reduces hair fall!
Alikay Naturals' Caribbean Coconut Milk range also contains coconut oil and nettle, making it perfect for dry, damaged and chemically treated hair. The formula cleanses hair without stripping it of its natural moisture, and conditions strands for maximum softness.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is rich in vitamin E, which is absolutely amazing for strengthening and moisturising your locks. It is popular in natural hair care routines because it conditions hair, creates shine, and reduces frizziness, damage and scalp irritation.
The Olive Oil & Mango Butter range from Elasta QP has the bonus benefits of mango butter which is rich in vitamins A and E, providing a regenerative effect on both strands and scalp!
Coconut Water
Coconut water is the clear, refreshing liquid that is found inside the coconut. It contains essential minerals, electrolytes, natural sugars, and vitamins which help to give antimicrobial and anti-aging benefits. So, it’s not just great to drink, but it is also a healthy, hydrating ingredient for your hair!
The Camille Rose Naturals' Coconut Water range gives lightweight hydration with plenty of natural oils, so it nourishes, detangles and styles hair without weighing curls down.
Argan Oil
We love argan oil for the hair because it is a great moisturiser! It increases elasticity and gives life to dull looking hair. It has a high content of antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamin E, which make is great for nourishing your hair and scalp.
The Argan Oil range from Creme Of Nature is infused with this wonderful natural ingredient to strengthen hair and add shine to your locks. Their Perfect Edges products in particular give beautiful shine and superior hold without flaking, all thanks to argan oil!
