Natural ingredients are more popular than ever, especially for hair care. Why should you trust plants to give you healthy hair? And which ingredients will work best for you? Learn more about this botanical trend.

The benefits of plant ingredients

Every day, your hair is assaulted by environmental factors: the wind, UV rays, the cold winter climate, and the styling tools you use to achieve the look you want. By using plant-based products, you avoid exposing your hair to chemical ingredients that could further harm it. In fact, these natural ingredients will help your hair become healthy and shiny. The hair root is a living organism, so it will benefit from ingredients that come from Mother Earth. Several brands that offer plant-based hair products adhere to environmentally friendly manufacturing processes or use ingredients that are certified organic.

Natural effectiveness

Different plants have different benefits for hair. Some plants can revitalize and moisturize, while others are efficient at repairing or smoothing your locks.

• One of our favourite ingredients is mint. It’s a key ally to revitalizing limp hair or reviving hair in the morning. Its refreshing smell is a cherished bonus.
• Hair can also greatly benefit from lemon, an ordinary yet versatile fruit. Chock full of vitamins, lemon stimulates hair growth, reduces sebum production and brightens blonde hair. Perfect year-round!
• Naturally rich in minerals, micro-nutrients and vitamins, honey hydrates and nourishes the scalp. It’s an excellent conditioner since it helps the hair absorb and retain moisture. The result: smooth, ultra-shiny tresses. It’s the dream ingredient for dry or damaged locks that have lost their luster.
• Another star ingredient is cocoa butter. Over the past few years, it has competed with shea butter for most versatile fatty substance. In addition to moisturizing hair with the oils it contains, cocoa butter also injects a substantial dose of antioxidants thanks to its vitamins and flavonoids.
• Anyone looking for a formula to combat frizz and seal in moisture in the cuticle can rely on coconut water. Besides reminding you of your most recent beach vacation, coconut water is wonderful for moisturizing hair.
• Bamboo is an effective ingredient to add volume. This Asian plant has the capacity to grow quick and strong, making it a powerful ingredient in a haircare product with its ability to improve your limp locks.
• Lastly, we love caffeine (yes, the same ingredient that makes our mornings bearable!) because it awakens the scalp and accelerates hair growth. Proof that we aren’t the only ones benefiting from the reinvigorating benefits of coffee!
