Smooth, shiny, glossy, healthy hair… we all dream of it! But how can you really achieve your healthiest, shiniest hair possible? What can you do to experience that ‘glass’ hair look and how can you achieve it naturally? The haircare market is filled with endless amounts of haircare and styling products designed to improve and enhance hair shine. But often, these products are made with silicones, which are known and loved because they can provide that instantly silky, soft hair feeling. However, with consistent and continued use of certain types of silicones, they can create and leave a build-up on the hair, ultimately impacting hair health long term. So, as someone who is looking for or who has made the decision to commit to natural hair and beauty products, what can you do to experience shiny hair without having to turn to silicones? Well, that’s exactly what we’re here to discuss.
Although traditional ingredients and harsh chemicals are so commonly used in haircare products, there are, in fact, many natural ingredients that can be used instead and are scientifically proven to enhance hair health, including increasing hair shine. Often hair appears dull and lacks shine when it is dry, in need of hydration and has been damaged or consistently exposed to factors such as extreme heat, chlorine, UV and chemical based styling products. So, let’s take a look at three natural ingredients found in our Sozo Hair Health products that are proven to help treat your hair and help you experience more shine so you can enjoy your healthiest scalp and hair not only now but for many years to come.
Finger Lime Fruit Extract
Achieving shiny hair naturally means you’re not simply wanting a quick fix haircare product to give you short term shine. Instead, you need to focus on ensuring your hair is hydrated and conditioned to create long term shine. Finger lime fruit extract is one proven ingredient known to help you do just this. Derived from the fruit of a rainforest tree found in Queensland and Northern NSW, finger lime fruit extract is known to be rich in vitamin C, folate, antioxidants and alpha hydroxy acids. This means it is an effective ingredient in smoothing and repairing damaged hair to naturally enhance shine. Plus, it’s also known to moisturise both the scalp and hair bulb to support your best results. Formulated into our Sozo Hair Health Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Mask, you can enjoy and experience the benefits of finger lime with every wash.
Sunflower Oil
Another natural ingredient found in our Sozo Hair Health range is sunflower oil which is naturally derived from sunflower seeds. It is known to be high in omega fatty acids, as well as contain proteins which allows for easy absorption. Sunflower oil acts as a conditioner and moisturiser which, as a result, adds shine and lustre to the hair. With its wonderful hair health benefits, it has been formulated into our Sozo Hair Health Mask, which is a luxurious, hydrating hair treatment designed to help repair and promote glossy hair. This is a natural hair mask that you can apply at least once a week in place of conditioner and leave in to absorb for a few minutes while in the shower or for a longer 30 minute treatment. Sunflower oil is also featured in our Scalp & Hair Health Serum, an ultra-lightweight hair oil formulated for both styling and as a prewash oil treatment. The sunflower oil, alongside other natural ingredients in our silicone free serum, helps to protect hair from heat damage when styling. To increase shine, protect and condition your hair, simply apply a couple of drops of our hair serum to your ends before styling, gradually adding more product to your hair as needed, then enjoy healthy, styled hair.
Hydrolysed Quinoa
The third feature ingredient that is going to help improve your shine is hydrolysed quinoa and it also has a long list of other proven benefits to enhance your overall hair health for your best long term results. Firstly, hydrolysed quinoa is made up of proteins that penetrate into the hair shaft, and it is also known to help protect your hair from environmental stress and damage. Another reason why you absolutely want to use haircare formulated with hydrolysed quinoa is because it can improve hair colour uptake, as well as enhance colour retention to help keep your hair looking nicer for longer. And finally, it also makes styling easier by adding body to your hair and, of course, it enhances your shine for healthy looking hair. With all these proven benefits, hydrolysed quinoa is undeniably a powerful, natural haircare alternative to the traditional ingredients used within the haircare market. To enjoy and experience all these hair health benefits firsthand, commit to a consistent haircare routine made up of our Sozo Hair Health range and watch your scalp and hair health transform.
How to experience your best results and see more shine
Finger lime, sunflower oil and hydrolysed quinoa are only three of many natural ingredients proven to target and enhance both the scalp and hair health. Our Sozo Hair Health products have been carefully formulated with selected natural alternatives in place of the traditional ingredients and harsh chemicals. But to see your best results and achieve your shiniest hair, you need to follow a consistent haircare routine. By building your routine on the foundations of our Hair Health Shampoo and Conditioner, then committing to regular hair treatments with our Hair Health Mask and Scalp & Hair Health Serum, as well as practising good hair habits every day, you can give your scalp and hair the nourishment they need to thrive. Always remember to be aware of your heat exposure when styling, maintain a regular and consistent washing schedule and also avoid any styling products or hair accessories that actively cause damage to the hair shaft. Increasing shine not only involves using the right products but it also requires preventing further damage to our hair each day, which is why our hair habits are so important within our overall routine.
When you prioritise your haircare products, follow a consistent routine, treat your hair with care and maintain a well-balanced diet, you can achieve real and long term glossy hair results like you’ve never experienced before. Maintaining your healthiest and shiniest hair naturally is a long term journey that requires work and consistency, but with patience and the right haircare products, you can enjoy the benefits of finger lime, sunflower oil, hydrolysed quinoa and many other ingredients to see your own natural hair transformation.
