Hair Care Training by Narissa Burke 1
2 Haircare Our brand new Award winning Haircare range was launched in September 2013 and the lead plant concept is based on cereals under pinned by our philosophy that healthy hair comes from having a healthy scalp. Cereals have many characteristics similar to hair, they grow in a linear fashion, are smooth, structured, flexible & have a very high silicic acid content and this is why they are so effective in helping your hair reach it’s optimum health and bringing about it’s inner balance. Plant based Silicic acid can be absorbed and used more easily by humans than it’s mineral-based counterpart, because it exists in a more organic (living) context. Hair Care 2
Healthy hair is well balanced with a natural vitality controlled by a healthy sebum Visible hair is dead, but growing hair cells need to be nourished to encourage healthy development Healthy hair is characterised by natural shine, healthy cuticle (no dry split ends) with oil and moisture content in balance. Shiny healthy hair does not require conditioner as it is conditioned naturally through healthy sebum o This natural balance in hair follicles can be disturbed by chemical stresses, such as silicones and sulphates in conventional products, hormonal changes and mechanical stresses e.g. heat, straightening etc can all damage the healthy balance of Natural Hair. Beautiful hair starts with a healthy scalp. Healthy hair: requires gentle cleansing to restore shine & gentle conditioning to protect against environmental damage such as the sun, drying winds, or the heat from hair appliances. Our products use natural, holistic formulations to cleanse, nourish and protect with plant active ingredients, to provide a ‘free from’ approach to hair care for strong healthy hair to develop.

Holistic hair care tips Natural hair care works by giving the hair everything it needs to become healthy. This is different to synthetic products which often work by adding a layer of silicone to the hair, giving it an immediate sheen. As your hair adjusts to its new natural regime, there may be a period of time where the silicone has left the hair, but before it has fully regained its natural shine. To help your hair look good during this transition, and to maintain its healthiness afterwards, here are some holistic tips for natural hair care. 14
