Natural Hair Products


From 1st July 2009, we will be adding new Natural Hair Products to our range - yay!...perfect for the Summer time....as our Hair really does need extra TLC during the summer months due to the damaging effects of sun, salt or chlorine...or...smile...if you live in Manchester, UK...persistent rainfall!

Our Natural Hair Products do not contain any of the harsh, drying ingredients such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Petrolatum, Mineral Oil etc and instead contain Natural and Yummy Ingredients.

Before I go any further, just a little note, our Natural Hair Products are also suitable for people of all Ethnic Groups e,g African, Caribbean, Afro-American, Asian, Latin, Caucasian, but are particularly geared to those with Dry, Damaged, Sensitive and Brittle Hair.

OK, so back to the Products....

We have two types of Sulphate and Paraben Free Shampoos
for those of you who don't know Sulphates are drying to the Hair and Scalp and there are safety concerns regarding the us of Parabens as a means of preserving Cosmetics.

**Moisturising Shampoo
Contains Distilled Water, Glycerine, Conditioning and Detangling emulsifer, Brazil nut, Safflower and Jojoba oils, Honey Moisturiser, Panthenol for Strength, Hibiscus and Marshmallow root extracts for Softness and Shine, two types of Mild Cleansing Agents. Available as unscented or with Ylang Ylang and Patchouli or Geranium and Lavender Essential Oils.

**Gentle Clarifying Shampoo
with Refreshing, Scalp Toning and Oil Balancing Geranium and Bergamot Floral Waters, Organic Liquid Castille, Avocado and Olive Oils, Panthenol for Strength, Herbal Extract of Coltsfoot, Burdock, Nettle and Horsetail to Cleanse and Stimulate the Scalp. These gentle Natural Ingredients will Clarify the Hair and Scalp of build up without stripping natural oils. Available in Unscented or Lemon and Rosemary or Lavender and Geranium Essential Oils.

**Deep Conditioners and Leave In Conditioners/Daily Moisturisers
Our customers will be spolit for choice with these luscious natural hair products:

Nutterlicious Deep Conditioner, Daily Moisuriser and Hair Spritz
With a range of nutty themed Oils and Butters...these products are extra rich and suitable for a real deep down moisture treat! with lush, mouthwatering Exotic Natural Ingredients such as Kukui, Brazil, Sweet Almond, Organic Virgin Coconut, Babassu, Macadamia Oils, Shea Butter, Honey, Marshmallow Root and Hibiscus Extract for Shine!

Light and Silky Deep Conditioner, Daily Moisturiser and Hair Spritz
This range is lovely and moisturising but all the products are a lot lighter on the hair and will not weigh it down or leave it feeling heavy...with Light and Silky ingredients such as Japanese Camellia, Safflower, Grapeseed Oils with Balsam, Rose, Chamomile, Calendula and Lavender Extracts to Soothe and Tone the Scalp

Finally we have two Deep Conditioners with Dual and Triple Action
Moisture and Growth - with a wonderful selection of deeply moisturising Oils and Butters such as Unrefined Avocado, Olive, Jojoba Oils Seaweed and Ayurvedic (Indian) Herbal Extract and Essential Oils to promote the stimulation of the hair follicles and thus growth.

Strength, Moisture and Growth - this triple power pack deep conditioner has the same basic ingredients as the above, but with additional Wheat, Corn and Silk Proteins for Strength so reducing breakage

We also of course have our existing range of Natural Hair Products: Herbal Oils, Butters and Pomades, Natural Colourants such as Henna, Indigo, Herbal Powders and Clays....

Indigo and Henna Gloss Melts!

A friend asked me to do an experiment for a Henna and Indigo Gloss using

Cocoa Butter
Macadamia Oil
Henna and Indigo Powders (for hair colouring)
All these ingredients are available for purchase from our Online Shop

Well I had to oblige as I enjoy experimenting and have quite a lot of new growth of greys starting to pop through!

Basically for those of you who are not aware, a Henna/Indigo Gloss is a less intense way of colouring your hair by using less of the powders. For example, when I do a full Henna/Indigo treatment, I would use 100g and for a Gloss I would use only 50g in total. A Henna Gloss is normally done by mixing the powders with a conditioner and then applying to clean hair for 1-2 hrs wtih a plastic cap.

However, this recipe is a little different and for me a bit more interesting than the normal way of doing a Henna Gloss as the combination of Cocoa Butter, Macadamia Oil, Henna and Indigo makes a solid product, which you then melt/reheat once you are ready to use and then apply to the hair. The butter and oil will also help to counteract the drying effect which some people experience when using Henna and Indigo on their own. Here is the video of the Homemade Indigo and Henna Gloss Melt! I will update this once I have applied it and can give the results!

Please note: before using Henna or Indigo for the first time, please carry out your own personal research - it is a permanent colour and once applied, can prevent the hair from being re-dyed with synthetic chemical dyes.
