Water hardness refers to the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium it contains. The more minerals, the harder the water. It’s not bad for health, but it can lead to limescale building up in pipes and appliances, and clothes fading, so think what it’s doing to your hair. The excess minerals are likely to form a film over your hair strands. This means it’s harder for moisture to get through […]

People are more aware than ever about the prevalence and impact of harsh chemicals in our lives. That’s why there’s a growing demand for natural haircare.

It turns out we’ve always loved expressing ourselves by mixing up the color of our locks because we’ve been doing it since 1500 BC.

We all have our favorite season, but did you know each one can bring its own stresses to your hair? Winter brings dry air and heating, which can cause damage due to lost moisture. The sudden increase in humidity in spring could lead to your hair producing more oil, causing greasy roots. Summer brings fun but also more UV rays, which can cause damage, as well as chlorine or salt […]

Hair porosity refers to how easily your hair can absorb and keep moisture. Your hair strands are built up of layers, with the outer ones called the cuticle, and their condition determines the porosity. If the cells are close together, this means low porosity hair. This type struggles to absorb moisture to begin with, but retains it well. If the cuticle cells have more space between them, your porosity will […]

But while you’re investing in your physical strength and endurance, your hair care may be left to suffer on the sidelines. Sweat, constant washing, tight hairstyles, and exposure to pollutants, chemicals, and toxins in the environment can leave your locks feeling dry, brittle, or lifeless.

If you’ve ever had your hair lightened, you might have noticed orangey-peachy tones creeping in after a few weeks. This color is often called “blorange” (a blend of blonde and orange), and it doesn’t always appeal to people who want golden or sun-kissed blonde locks.
