The warm Summer weather has descended in many places, and that means a new opportunity to get your hair in top condition. Blood flow is much more efficient during warm weather months, and increased blood flow means that more nutrients can reach the scalp and promote faster hair growth. Of course, it helps if you fortify your body with ingredients to get your hair growing thick and strong. Dark leafy greens are chock full of iron, avocados provide Vitamins B and E to help moisturize the skin and scalp from the inside out, and nuts and seeds provide health-boosting Omega-3 fatty acids. And while those ingredients are doing all the work on the inside, you can get to work on the outside with products designed to bring your crowning glory to its full potential. Since every head of hair is different, it helps to target your needs with products that address very specific issues.
GROWTH:
HIF Growth Support contains high strength Copper Peptide to stimulate collagen production and strengthen hair follicles. Massage it into your scalp and through your hair, and let it sit for a few minutes to work its magic. Although it’s marketed as an ‘all in one’ product, we find that it works best with the addition of a separate conditioner.
Fresh Spa Brewers Yeast Hair Mask is one of the best kept secrets in hair care. This rich, sweet smelling conditioner immediately detangles and softens hair. A hefty dose of Brewers Yeast helps to stimulate the scalp and encourage hair growth. It also contains Castor Oil to soften unruly hair, and Wild Garlic promote collagen and stimulate hair growth.
Nae Nae’s Hair Boost boasts a massive cult following, as an increasing number of people search for the best, most natural way to grow hair. Full of tried and true earth-bound ingredients like Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil, Rosemary and Basil… this rich butter helps to protect hair from environmental stress and keep strands soft and nourished between washes.
STRENGTH:
HIF Intensive Detox gets to the root of the issue with desert date bio-complex. The formula infuses the scalp with iron to reduce hair loss and breakage. It is powerful enough to remove residue left from styling products, but rinses clean and leaves hair feeling light and soft.
Habibi Henna Hair Serum uses Ayurvedic powerhouses like Henna, Mustard Oil, Kalonji Seed and Black tea to strengthen hair from root to tip. This creamy formula is light enough to use on fine hair but penetrates to nourish even the most thick and coarse hair.
Habibi Henna Hair Oil is the perfect complement for hair in need of a little extra nourishment. In addition to Henna and Kalonji Seed, this oil contains Katira to bond the hair shaft and give it added strength.
MOISTURE:
Saints & Sinners Velvet Divine Moisture Shampoo is so nourishing, you might not need a separate conditioner. The sulphate-free formula gives slip almost immediately, and the longer you leave it in your hair, the more slip you get. Add to that feel-good ingredients like Avocado Oil and Keratin, and you’ve got a moisture-rich winner on your hands.
Saints & Sinners Velvet Daily Conditioner is the perfect follow-up if you need extra moisture. The formula is thin enough to pull through hair using just fingers. It detangles on contact, and rinses clean enough to leave hair feeling light but deeply hydrated.
Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Coconut Hair Crème is another winner from an already trusted natural brand. With just a handful of easily pronounceable ingredients, this hair crème goes a long way to managing thick unruly hair, and keeping strands soft and supple without breaking the bank.
