Natural Ingredients For Your Hair

There is nothing worse than buying a product that claims to do something, but it doesn’t come through. You buy product after product only to receive less than desirable results. Check out this quick reference guide featuring some of the best product ingredients for natural hair.

Natural Ingredients:

Shea Butter: 
Shea Butter is a natural emollient derived from the nut. Shea butter provides optimal soft ‘n fluffy hair results and seals in moisture minus the heavy buildup. Shea butter also softens nicely when mixed with essential hair oils for easier application.

Coconut Oil: 
Natural hair loves coconut oil because it doesn’t just sit on top of the hair -it penetrates and helps heal from the inside out. Coconut oil’s moisture retention and strengthening characteristics for it’s liquid pomade.  If used alone, this light ingredient’s best use is thought to be as a pre shampoo hair oil treatment.

Jojoba Oil: 
Jojoba oil closely matches what the scalp produces naturally, making it ideal for balancing out oil production. Extracted from jojoba seeds, jojoba oil acts as natural humectant and boosts shine without leaving the hair greasy.

Olive Oil: 
The wunderkind of hair oils, olive oil, nourishes and improves the elasticity of hair with each use. Olive oil is rich in moisture and less prone than other oils to aggravate allergies. No wonder it’s used for everything from pre-shampoo and scalp treatments to curl friendly conditioners.

Aloe Vera: 
Aloe vera’s pH balancing properties make it a model ingredient for natural hair use. Aloe Vera also promotes hair growth and acts as a natural astringent to combat dandruff. This multi-purpose ingredient is commonly combined with conditioner to soften hair, add shine and reduce frizz. Curly girls often mix aloe vera with water and spritz it on as a coil refresher.
