The Power Of Natural Products For Vibrant Colours

Maintaining vibrant hair colours and keeping our hair healthy, especially during the winter months, can be a demanding task.

But there are a few natural ingredients to look out for that offer you the best of both worlds.

When combined, henna, chamomile, and indigo stand out for their nourishing and colour-enhancing vibrancy and health.

• Henna: A go-to natural dye for centuries. Its composition binds to the hair shaft, resulting in rich, deep colours whilst strengthening the strands.
• Chamomile: This does much more than calm the senses. It subtly lightens hair, adding sun-kissed highlights and vibrance naturally.
• Indigo: When combined with henna, it creates a spectrum of rich shades, from dark browns to intense blues.
• Beetroot: As a natural pigment, it infuses with vibrant red tones, delivering not just colour but also a boost of antioxidants that revitalise the hair from root to tip.

Sustainable Habits For Coloured Hair

Transitioning to an eco-conscious hair care routine is more than your product choices; it's a holistic commitment to sustainable practices that enhance the lifespan of your hair colour and the health of our planet.

Mindful Water Usage:

• Try turning off the tap during lathering and conditioning, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious hair care routine while minimising water wastage.
• You could also try having slightly colder showers or only using hot water for a portion of your wash. Not only is it better for your health, generally and hair-related, but it’s better all-round.

Gentle Detergents for Coloured Hair:

• Steer clear of harsh detergents that not only strip your hair of its natural oils but also pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems.
• Go for sulphate-free and biodegradable shampoos and conditioners that effectively cleanse without damaging the vibrancy of the dye.

Eco-Friendly Packaging Choices:

• Extend your commitment to sustainability by choosing hair care products packaged in materials that align with eco-friendly values.
• Look for brands that utilise recycled or recyclable packaging, reducing your environmental footprint.

Transforming Rituals into Eco-Friendly:

• Incorporate the use of reusable towels, eliminating the need for disposable alternatives.
• Embrace the natural air-drying method whenever possible, reducing your reliance on energy-consuming styling tools.

These small yet impactful changes not only contribute to the health of your hair but also embody a sustainable ethos that resonates with the planet.
