Share a Cuppa With Your Hair

Tea is rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals and keep our bodies healthy, but it also can be therapeutic for your hair and scalp. Break out the tea pot, and brew these tried and true do-it-yourself hair treatments:

• Fight dandruff and add shine with 1/4 cup of dried lavender simmered in two cups of water. After cooling, saturate hair and scalp and leave on fifteen minutes before rinsing.
• Help stimulate hair growth by steeping 1/4 cup of dried rosemary in two cups of water until it reaches room temperature. Massage onto scalp, cover hair with a shower cap, and leave on as long as you’d like, even overnight, to tone and clarify.
• Add subtle, natural looking highlights to blonde hair with a rinse made from 1/3 cup dried chamomile flowers steeped in one quart of hot water until cool. Strain well, and pour over hair, repeating if desired. Leave in hair for fifteen minutes, then rinse.

Korres’ Natural Solution for Oily Hair

Stop fighting the never-ending battle with oily hair. Instead, treat the root of the problem with Korres Sage & Nettle Shampoo for Oily Hair ($18.00). In addition to thoroughly cleansing away dirt and oil, this shampoo uses Nettle extract to balance sebum production, gradually reducing excess oil over time. Scalp-irritating bacteria are banished thanks to the antiseptic properties of sage, burdock and birch extracts. Hair will have a healthy- not a greasy- shine and feel.

Detangle, Scent and Condition

John Masters Organics Citrus and Neroli Detangler ($16.00) makes hair soft, smooth and easier to style- naturally. The lightweight formula is great for all hair types (including color treated hair!) and won’t weigh you down or leave a greasy residue. Protective lipids are replenished with the use of natural vegetable oils, and hair is strengthened with vitamins and protein. Citrus and neroli oils uplift your spirit and leave a delicious, lingering scent. Use as a regular conditioner (leaving in one to three minutes), or apply sparingly to damp hair as a leave-in.

Give Curls a Natural Boost

Enhance your hair’s natural texture with The Body Shop Cottonseed Curl Boost ($12.00). This heat-activated formula defines and gives life to wavy and curly hair. Rich in fatty acids, cottonseed oil de-frizzes hair for smooth definition. A polymer derived from maize uses ‘curl memory’ to give your hair more bounce and vitality. Beyond a styling product, Curl Boost also conditions hair with wheat protein, community trade organic honey and panthenol.

Apply a small amount to damp hair, and shape curls or waves with your fingers. Then, blow dry or use a curling iron to activate the ingredients and maximize results. For more volume, apply heat to the roots of the hair, with your head flipped upside down.

A Natural Approach to Hair Loss

A wreath of bay laurels was given to winners of the Pythian Games in ancient Greece. Be victorious over hair loss with Apivita Aromatherapy Laurel Basic Natural Oil ($10.00). This simple formula includes laurel and olive fruit oils to replenish the hair follicles with essential Vitamin E and fatty acids, which nourish the scalp and combat dryness and irritation. These ingredients are great for hair, too, and will condition and improve shine.

Massage into scalp for 2-3 minutes to stimulate, then leave on half an hour before shampooing.

Beautiful Hair, Straight From The Sea

The addition of vitamins like A, C and E nourish your hair and leave it smooth and shiny. Massage into hair to gently clean and replenish dry hair.
