10 ORGANIC HAIR STYLING PRODUCTS WE LOVE

Common chemicals found in hairspray are aerosol propellants, alcohol, carcinogenic polyvinylpyrrolidone plastic, formaldehyde, and artificial fragrance, which can cause low blood pressure, breathing difficulty, irritation of the skin, eyes and lungs, and even a coma. Over extended use, these chemicals also increase the risk of developing the lung disease thesaurosis, as well as cancer. Bottom line, hair styling can be a risky business.

Hair gel isn’t much better. While it’s not as volatile due to the fact that it’s not sprayed, it normally contains parabens, propylene, formaldehyde, phthalates and other chemicals that are absorbed by your hands and scalp, which can hurt your health over the long run, and damage your hair too.

So thank goodness there are several new chemical free hairstyling products on the market! We’ve covered natural shampoos before, and while that is clearly a popular and growing market, it seems the development of natural styling products was slightly slower.

Here, we’ve found what we think are some of the best organic hair styling products, chosen for the efficiency, naturalness and delicious scents.

1. Nashi Hair Spray

Free from the usual nasty sulphates, phosphates, parabens, PPG and other chemicals that are commonly present in hair sprays, this natural blend by Nashi offers extra strong hold without residuals, giving the hair a bit of natural texture and shape without weighing it down. It also has anti-static properties, which is great when the central heating is on in winter!

2. Saach Organics Herbal Hair Oil

Unlike other hair oils that are designed solely for the tips, this Indian Gooseberry, Cotton Seed and Almond Oil blend by Sacch Organics can also help your hair grow. Massage it into the scalp at night, put on a shower cap and go to bed. When you wake up, shower as usual and you’ll notice that with continued use, this will open blocked capillaries allowing for improved scalp circulation and consequently, hair growth.

3. Natu Volumising Mist

Got limp, thin hair? This is the perfect product for you. Spritz of this all-natural miracle product onto damp hair, blow dry, and feel like you’ve doubled your hair count! Leaves hair feeling soft, too.

 

4. John Masters Hair Texturiser

This product by John Masters Organics is full of organic and natural ingredients that help keep hair healthy, whilst providing extra-strength hair texturising. It’s great for shaping shorter hair into any desired style, from the bed-head look to smooth and silky, and helps long, curly hair retain its shape, too. It also adds incredible shine and is safe for colour-treated hair.

5. Lavera Hair Styling Gel

Need a new look? This completely natural hair gel helps create new looks time and time again or just adds volume when you need it. Organic bamboo protects your hair from excessive heat like blow drying and straighteners, while plant extracts help to tame and enhance your hairstyle, keeping it in place. Great for a natural look without stickiness.

6. Intelligent Nutrients Spray On Detangler

If you have really thick hair, this is for you! It’s a detangler with light conditioning benefits, made to soften unruly hair and prevent damage, leaving hair shiny and manageable. This certified organic styling product is great for all hair types but ideal for hair that likes to tangle and snarl, this can be used on the whole family including baby fine hair. Intelligent Nutrients also includes a huge range of other styling products, including a hair spray that really holds!

Far Botanicals Preservation Butter

This one is perfect for Black hair, as its nourishing, lightly vanilla-scented blend of oils acts immediately to restore shine and hold for even the most hard-to-manage mane. It can also act as a serum for longer hair–it protects the ends, keeps them frizz-free and when applied to the tips, it can also keep thick fringes from straying.

8. Intelligent Nutrients Straight Hair Serum

This certified organic leave-in hair serum moisturizes and protects hair from dryness with light holding and styling properties that promote smooth, straight, glossy hair. Patent pending Larch Tree Resin provides hold so your straight styles last longer without dulling, building up or flaking.

9. Kahina Argan Oil

A Moroccan classic, Argan oil has been used for centuries for its hydrating qualities. It can be used in tiny amounts on the points of hair to smooth and calm frizz, massaged into the scalp to encourage hair growth, or even used on skin and nails for overall moisturising.

10. Iluxe Hair Serum

Fight the frizz with an all natural hair serum like this one from Iluxe. Not only can hair be frizzy due to humid weather, but using blowdryers and other styling tools can seriously compromise the integrity of the cuticle of your hair, leading to split end-frizz. Iluxe’s serum restores balance and shine with Tahitian ginger oils, and acts as a defrizzer by temporarily closing up split ends and smoothing frazzled locks, giving hair all the same qualities that silicone based smoother would, but without the chemical buildup. A teeny tiny bit (we’re talking 2-3 pumps for a huge mane of hair) goes a long way towards making your hair smooth and sleek.
