Natural Care For Your Hair

It’s been a busy week so far for my locks, with a much needed cut, followed by a colour treatment to banish those pesky greys. And with summer coming it is time to look in my bathroom cabinet and take stock of the hair care products I’m using. The reason? For one, colouring can take its toll on your hair, and if you add styling devices to the mix, such as a hair straightener or curling iron, luscious locks can become easily damaged. Then, add a change in weather, and how we sometimes treat our hair on holiday, from sun exposure, to washing and styling hair more frequently, and your hair can sometimes look less than its best. Whenever I colour my hair I always treat it afterwards with a hair masque, and one I’ve recently tried, and loved, comes from Pure Hair Food. Repair Your Hair Masque is a protein smoothie for you hair, aiming to repair dry and damaged hair from use of styling products, hair colour, or if your hair simply needs a boost. It’s a once-per-week treatment, the formula packed with Australian macadamia oil, wheat protein and soy protein, which strengthen, repair, add shine and hold moisture. All you do is apply to freshly washed and towel dried hair, comb through, leave for five to 15 minutes, and wash out the residue.

Also new from Pure Hair Food is Detox Your Hair Clarifying Shampoo, another great asset to travellers, and anyone who colours their hair or uses styling products, as it removes build-up of products, and harsh chemicals. And if you’ve been spending a lot of time in the ocean or a swimming pool on holiday, it helps here too. The formula contains a rich lineup of aloe vera, pro-vitamin B5 and wheat protein, all of which are natural ingredients designed to deep clean your hair, while also promoting healthy hair growth. Both products are available from www.purehairfood.com.au and cost $28.90 each. It’s no wonder celebrities including Miranda Kerr are fans. Free of all “nasties”, Pure Hair Food is a completely natural Australian haircare brand with products formulated using as many locally sourced, Australian made ingredients as possible.
