CLEAN INGREDIENTS FOR YOUR HAIR

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s finally a new decade, this is the moment we all decide we are going to be more conscious about how we treat our body. We make all these changes in our kitchen, throwing away potato chips, cookies, and ice cream. We get a new membership at the local spin class and challenge ourselves to go 4 times a week. It’s the year of making clean lifestyle choices! But like most of us, we focus on what we are eating, not what we are using.

NOW…

Let’s talk about your hair products. If you ever look at your shampoo bottle and read the ingredient list you might see words such as parabens, silicones, isopropyl alcohol, fragrance, phthalates and the list go on and on. I'll let you in on a little secret, if the ingredients list any of these, pitch it! Lets go through a quick little rundown of what these harmful ingredients do.

Parabens: Contains estrogen-mimicking properties that are known to associate with an increased risk of breast cancer.

Silicones: Coats the hair & functions like petroleum. Builds up on the hair shaft over time resulting in weighed down, sticky hair.

Isopropyl Alcohol: This is used in ANTI-FREEZE!!!! WHAT?!?!?! Also known as rubbing alcohol, do I need to say more?

Fragrance: This term was created to protect a company’s secret formula, meaning, a concoction of hazardous chemicals.

Phthalates: Unfortunately, this is added to the fragrance so its not labeled on every product. This is chemicals that increases the flexibility and softness of PLASTICS!

Ok, enough of the scary stuff. How about a new VEGAN product that is 94% naturally derived from plants. Hair on SUPERFOODS! Introducing Aveda’s Nutriplenish!!!!

Made from:

Organic Pomegranate oil: an omega 5 rich oil that helps hydrate and revitalize dry, depleted hair.

Mango Butter: a lipid-rich butter that helps nourish and smooth dry hair.

Coconut Oil: the holy grail for hair, a luxuriously rich oil full of essential fatty acids helps lock in moisture for hydration and softness.

Now those ingredients sound a lot cleaner. The full line of NUTRIPLENISH includes a customizable shampoo & conditioner (Light moisture or deep moisture), a leave in conditioners and multi-use hair oil for all hair types.

Let’s welcome 2020 in with a bang. Cheers to a clean, healthy lifestyle!
