6 Natural Hair Care Ingredients
Natural glycerin. There two types of glycerin – natural and synthetic. Natural glycerin is extracted from vegetables and plants and attracts water to it. Because it absorbs water so readily, it pulls it from the air to enhance the moisturizing ability of any product that it’s added to. Glycerin also helps to create a powerful styling serum that defines curls and combats frizz, making it especially beneficial when styling natural hair in humid climates.
For these reasons, glycerin is an additive that is commonly found in many cosmetic products and beauty treatments. It’s so powerful that glycerin should be used as an additive only after being mixed by professionals. If not, it can have adverse effects and damage the hair instead.
Avocado. Avocado can be used as an oil or butter. Its nutritional benefits help other products add vitality to lackluster hair and works to deep condition it. Full of vitamins, including C and E, that are essential to beautiful hair, it also can attract moisture. Furthermore, the properties of avocado soften the hair while working especially well as a detangler.
Aloe Vera. Everyone knows that aloe vera is potent and powerful. It’s found in countless lotions and creams and used to treat sunburn and other maladies. It’s the ingredient of choice for many and hair benefits from it just as much as the skin does. Oftentimes, unnatural products strip your hair and creates a pH level that leads to more dandruff and dryness. Aloe vera is able to restore balance to your scalp and helps to maintain a proper pH level. The juice from aloe vera is full of calcium and the vitamins that will make hair stronger and shinier as well.
Jojoba. If you need to balance the oil production from your scalp, then you’ll love jojoba. Its properties are similar to your natural hair oils and works with the natural oils to make sure that oil is evenly distributed. This remedies the problem of a dry scalp and the overproduction of oil. Jojoba is also a carrier oil, an oil that helps to dilute essential oils and spread them evenly throughout your hair. This oil has been used for hundreds of years as a hair treatment for promoting growth and aiding in hydration. Pair it with a powerful essential oil like peppermint oil for a soothing and fragrant blend that your hair will love.
Olive oil. Olive oil is truly a staple when it comes to natural hair care and it works well with all hair types. The oil is often listed as a main ingredient in conditioners, moisturizers, and styling products. If you have a sensitive scalp, it is less likely to cause any reactions or irritation and it also calms inflammation. Extra virgin olive oil is best when cold pressed because it has retained most of its nutrients that make it so powerful. It’s easily recognized by its rich color and has a very long shelf life, inspiring many to buy it in bulk.
Some consider olive oil the perfect pre-shampoo ingredient and use it as a deep conditioner. Others mix it with their favorite daily products. Hair is much shinier and far easier to manage with the regular use of olive oil. The hydration that comes from olive oil helps to keep ends from splitting, and is especially long-lasting because of its ability to absorb into the cuticles of hair.
Castor oil. Castor oil has been used for ages to treat internal and external issues. It is used to help with upset stomach ailments, skin infections, and much more. It’s both antibacterial and anti-fungal, so unnecessary germs will be kept at bay and eliminated. When cold pressed, castor oil is so powerful that not only can it moisturize hair, it can also reverse hair loss.
There are countless testimonies that credit castor oil for hair growth and restoration. After numerous studies, science also supports castor oils’ healing and growth abilities. It is believed that much of its strength is attributed to a rare acid, called ricinoleic acid, that’s full of healthy properties and fatty acids.
