Love Your Hair

Let your locks be their best and healthiest with the goodness of natural ingredients.

DURING THE summer your hair can be damaged by the sun and sea, not to mention day-to-day heat styling. But one of the ways you can help minimise further damage and regain the strength in your hair is to avoid hair products containing harsh ingredients, which can strip hair of its natural oils. Thankfully, there are some wonderful ingredients from nature’s bounty that can help restore hair health...

SOOTHING ALOE VERA

The use of aloe vera as a hair-loss remedy dates back to the ancient Egyptians, according to University of Hawaii researchers. The succulent plant contains proteolytic enzymes that directly promote healthy hair, eradicating dead skin cells on the scalp that could otherwise be clogging follicles and preventing growth. Aloe vera’s alkalising properties can help bring your scalp pH to a more optimum level, resulting in further hair growth promotion, while helping hair retain water and moisture. Aloe is also a great reliever of scalp psoriasis, reducing the redness, scaling, itching and inflammation associated with this condition. It’s also a great conditioning agent, as the gel-like substance in the leaves has a similar chemical composition to keratin – the naturally occurring protein in hair cells. This similarity allows it to penetrate the hair shaft with its goodness more easily.
