Your Natural Haircare Routine - Our Haircare Heros
Using more natural ingredients in your haircare routine enables us to work with our bodies' natural processes rather than fighting against them. A gentler, non-detergent-based hair care routine will support and help balance the body’s natural oil production and avoid the harsh effects of some ingredients commonly used in commercial hair care products, particularly detergents.
Alongside this, leveraging the benefits of essential oils, lavender and rosemary not only draws on millennia of traditional experience but also benefits more recently, from valid scientific research into the benefits of these haircare heroes.
Rosemary Essential Oil
Used alongside lavender in our Hair Serum, rosemary essential oil has traditionally been used for promotion of hair growth and protection against hair loss.
- Scientific research in 2015 has identified hair regrowth benefits conveyed by rosemary essential oil, with effectiveness levels close to those observed in popular pharmaceutical products, frequently used to treat alopecia.
- Rosemary essential oil was observed to promote increased hair growth in a study reported within the Phytotherapy Journal in 2013
Lavender Essential Oil
Used in both our hair serum and our lavender shampoo, regular application of this traditional haircare hero helps improve the condition of both scalp and hair in the following ways
- Stimulation of hair follicles, augmented by massaging of the scalp helps promote hair growth. This effect was cited in several Far Eastern, controlled scientific studies between the 1950s and 2016, where topical application of lavender essential oil was observed to create enhanced hair growth
- Treat dandruff and irritated scalp conditions through its antibacterial and anti fungal properties. In the Journal of Phytotherapy Research in 2005, lavender essential oil is cited to be effective against many strains of bacteria and fungi.
Alongside these two essential oil haircare heroes, our haircare product range leverages further, natural benefits from a range of triglycerides, minerals and vitamins.
Argan Oil
Found in our hair serum, this light, non greasy oil penetrates and nourishes the hair shaft to relieve frizziness and dryness
Sweet Almond Seed Oil
Within both our serum and our shampoos, this almond derived favourite contains biotin which is thought to stimulate hair follicles into production of keratin to counter thinning hair
Jojoba Seed Oil
Within our hair serum, this longstanding hair protection ingredient is rich in minerals including copper and zinc and vitamins C, B and E.
Castor Seed Oil
In both our shampoos and our serum, castor seed oil is used for its antibacterial and anti fungal properties, alongside the benefits it conveys for moisturising and stimulating the scalp and blood flow to hair follicles
