The Best Natural Hair Care Products
10 Natural Hair Care Products to Put on Your Radar For Earth Day
Truth is, the beauty industry doesn't regulate the term "natural." Therefore, a product can use the label even if it only has one natural ingredient in the formula. Crazy, right? No matter what your hair texture, natural hair care is a smart choice. Unlike harsh chemicals used in most shampoos and styling products that can strip your color and damage your hair follicles, these ingredients nourish and treat your strands without the compromise of effectiveness. Plus, think about what ends up on your pillow case at night and therefore, on your skin. That alone is enough of a thought to make us embrace natural hair products.
While there aren't a ton of truly 100 percent natural hair care products out there (yet), we found the ones that pass our test. These sprays, creams, and shampoos have eco ingredients that prove efficacy. Think quinoa protein for volume, avocado oil as conditioner, and turmeric to enhance growth.
You need a purifying shampoo in your regimen. This plant-derived shampoo ($28) helps to remove product build up and excess oil, leaving you with squeaky clean, healthy strands. Honey, coconut, and jojoba help to create a rich, creamy lather and add a bit of moisture as tea tree and citrus lemon peel oils aid in deep cleaning. Since it is 99 percent natural, it is gentle enough to use as often as you'd like. (We recommend using a purifying or clarifying shampoo once per week to remove buildup).
Here's a lightweight conditioner ($8) that not only nourishes your strands thanks to natural botanicals like henna and avocado, but is also cruelty-free and made of recyclable packaging. A win for your hair and the environment.
This styling balm ($49) adds texture sans grease and is made of 100 percent natural ingredients like berry, jasmine, and organic carnauba wax. The nongreasy formula allows for use on wet or dry hair. Rub a dollop between your palms to warm it up and work it through your strands for a matte finish.
This 100 percent natural find ($28) by John Masters Organics uses a combination of acacia senegal gum (a gummy white powder derived from thorn trees) to add volume as well as quinoa and soy proteins to help strengthen the hair and add shine. A little bit goes a long way.
Forget asprin. Here's a new solution to tight braids. Thanks to a blend of mimosa flower, peppermint oil, and orange oil, this refreshing spray ($14) helps to relieve any tension and itchiness at the scalp and can be used as often as needed.
This 100 percent natural oil ($105) is a favorite for so many reasons. First, it's handmade in the Amazon rainforest. Second, it's made up of a potent blend of fatty acids that help to strengthen your strands. And third, is has a light, spa-like aromatherapy scent that instantly soothes your mind. Smooth through your ends to rid flyaways and add shine or massage a bit into your scalp daily to help stimulate circulation and promote growth.
Once per week, slather this antioxidant-rich masque ($12) onto clean, wet hair and let it penetrate your strands for five minutes before rinsing. The combination of shea butter, avocado oil, and mango seed butter helps to smooth and condition even the coarsest hair.
Here's a creamy, curl-enhancing formula ($13) that's made up of a cocktail of natural ingredients. Soybean oil, blue poppy, algae, and pineapple extract along with white willow bark help smooth and relax your hair. Just comb a dime to quarter-size amount through damp hair from root to tip and style.
We’re excited that H&M is making an effort by expanding into conscious beauty buys. While this conditioner ($13) isn’t 100 percent natural, the emphasis on pracaxi oil (unrefined oil from Brazil) and shea butter to help soften and restore your hair is a step in the right direction. Plus, you can't beat the price tag.
As one of the newest hair supplements ($88) to hit the market, Nutrafol is made for those of us with thinning hair (thanks, stress!). Taking four of these all-natural capsules per day has been clinically proven to help prevent and fix the problem. Tumeric helps to fight inflammation at the scalp (which prevents hair growth) and ashwagandha (a popular healing herb) reduces cortisol levels linked to hair loss.
