Benefits of the Ingredients Used
- Aloe Vera Juice – This thick and gooey extract is got from the succulent aloe vera leaves. It is very rich in nutrients like vitamin A, B, C and more plus minerals and plant compounds that are beneficial for hair health. It’s great for protecting your skin from sun damage and also helps soothe sunburn. In this same way, aloe vera protects hair from too much heat from your heat tools.
- Grapeseed Oil – Grapeseed oil is made by cold-pressing grape seeds after it’s been used to make wine. It is a very light weight oil and it doesn’t leave hair greasy. It provides a light moisturizing effect while protecting hair strands.
- Sunflower Oil – This oil is amazing. It has a smooth texture and it is good for sealing moisture into the hair. After you curl or straighten your hair, it will leave your hair feeling soft!
- Argan Oil – Argan oil has a silky consistency. It coats the hair strands and leaves them looking shiny and glossy after using heat!
