Essential natural ingredients

1️⃣Organic shea butter

Shea butter contains a range of vitamins and fatty acids that can penetrate deep into the hair shaft for maximum hydration, repair split ends, and smooth frizz. Applying a hair mask containing this natural product will help stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, soothe dryness or irritation, and even add shine to your mane.

2️⃣Organic hydrosols as a base ingredient

You should choose an organic hydrosol that is preservative-free, concentrated, and microfiltered.

Hydrosols are rich in nutrients (vitamins and minerals). They also complement vegetable oils perfectly, enhancing their effects.

3️⃣Vegetable oils

4️⃣Natural honey

Honey is a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture within the hair fiber to combat dehydration. It softens the hair and leaves it feeling smooth and supple. Its antibacterial and soothing properties combat dandruff and relieve discomfort.

5️⃣Plain yogurt

If you have oily hair or hair lacking volume, replace the oil with plain yogurt, which is rich in fatty acids and vitamins and has proven moisturizing properties.

6️⃣Aloe vera

Aloe Vera is known for its moisturizing and soothing properties. It is ideal for calming irritated scalps and moisturizing hair without weighing it down. Use Aloe Vera gel as a base for your masks for a light and refreshing treatment.
