1. Bamboo: An Absolute Hair Mask Must Have!

While we admire a few of the wonderful gifts of spring like fresh flowers or new shoots of grass, let’s talk about one of the oldest grasses in the world that predates human history.

Bamboo is a highly renewable resource so it’s great for the environment. It has 70% all natural silica concentration; that’s 10 times the amount of silica in herbs like horsetail extract. Silica promotes collagen formation in the skin and is the perfect ingredient to look for on your quest for stronger, healthier hair. You can find Bamboo in hair care products like Shedavi’s Protein Masque, Hair Growth Vitamins, or the Hair & Scalp Growth Elixir.

2. Aloe: The Moisture Expert For Styling… & Everything Else!

Aloe smooths, hydrates, and nourishes hair, bringing renewed vibrancy to damaged and lackluster hair. Our Wash+Go Styling Gel is powered with aloe to ensure your hair looks healthy, moisturized, and defined!

Having aloe in your shampoo & conditioner helps to regularly incorporate this ingredient into your hair care routine. Shedavi's Moisturizing Shampoo & Moisturizing Conditioner both contain aloe and help to moisturize & soothe your scalp, while maintaining your hair's health and repairing damage.

The one thing we all strive for when it comes to styling natural hair, is making sure our hair looks good, feels healthy, and, without a doubt, is moisturized! Aloe is the perfect ingredient to achieve juicy curls. It's jam-packed with rich medicinal properties and filled with antioxidants and vitamins A, C, and E.

3. Carrot & Baobab Oil: Scalp Care Heroes

Carrot Seed Oil nourishes your scalp, reduces frizz, strengthens hair, prevents split ends, and breakage; All of which aid in length retention. When oils are cold pressed, it preserves the nutritional properties of the ingredient.

Another scalp hero is Baobab Seed Oil. It is rich with Vitamin D3 plus five Fatty Acids that nourish, moisturize, help reduce frizz, and builds strength. Both can be found in Shedavi’s Hair and Scalp Growth Elixir.

4. Mint: The Hair Growth Booster

If you haven’t heard, we’re going to tell you! Peppermint is an anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal. Peppermint increases blood flow to your scalp and hair follicles. This increases circulation to the scalp, which substantially aides in hair growth. Peppermint also improves scalp health by relieving dandruff and regulating the scalp biome. Enhance your scalp care routine by incorporating products that include peppermint like Shedavi’s Hair and Scalp Growth Elixir.

    5. Fatty Alcohols: Some Alcohols are Good

Contrary to popular belief, there are alcohols that hydrate hair. Fatty alcohols  create a thicker richer product leading to moisturized, conditioned, and detangled hair... The slip is real! Fatty alcohols include Cetyl alcohol, Cetearyl alcohol and Stearyl alcohol.

These moisturizing, good alcohols can be found in our Shedavi’s Protein Masque which is also packed with Amino acids, proteins, aloe and many more ingredients to deliver healthier & softer curls after every shampoo!

WORST INGREDIENTS

1. Drying Alcohols: Some Alcohols are Bad

We care about what you put on your body just as much as we care about what you put in it. When it comes to hair care, there are a few big no-nos to avoid like drying alcohols.

Just how it sounds, drying alcohols are put into products to make them dry quicker but they also can strip hair of moisture, leaving it brittle, frizzy, and prone to breakage. This is problematic if you have curly hair because moisture and elasticity are essential for maintaining healthy curls. Avoid Ethanol alcohol, Ethyl alcohol and Propanol alcohol so that your natural hair retains moisture and thrives. 

2. Sulfates: The Moisture Killer

3. Other Harmful Chemicals

It’s extremely important for our overall health to avoid as many toxins and chemicals where and when we can. Therefore, its best to choose products like Shedavi that leave out bad ingredients (Acrylates, Parabens, Benzophenones, & related compounds). Trust us, you will be happy and satisfied after every wash and styling sesh!
