Superfood. It’s a word that is trending so hard that you can hardly go a day without hearing it, along with its counterparts, “kale”, “quinoa” and “acai”. We love to talk about eating well to nourish our bodies, and our hair is no different. It was only a matter of time before ingredients that are usually found in our kitchen pantries started appearing on our bathroom shelves. Sea salt, quinoa, argan oil, Omega 3, flaxseed, black cumin and sunflower seed oil, as well as a whole lot of vitamins and minerals are now finding their way into our locks, and let’s face it, after the heat, humidity, sand and stress of summer, our hair is absolutely starving. So in a bid to lend our hair a helping hand, we have found some of the most nourishing products going that will feed your hair. Go on, dig in!
