Natural Hair Care

Posted on the 31 July 2014 by Latinaprpro @latinaprpro
With ongoing thyroid and autoimmune issues, hair care has become something of a hassle for me. From having a long and flowing mane, to now having very little fine hair that is coarse, and falls in clumps, I have opted to stop dying/coloring my hair to keep the little hair I have left.
I've tried pretty much everything from putting a filter on my shower head to "soften" our water, to changing shampoo's, to limiting blow drying my hair...but honestly? Nothing really stopped my hair from aging and the constant hair loss.

I used the "Golden Blond" Henna Cream - which colored my grays and gave it a nice copperish color

Last year while attending Natural Expo West, I met the wonderful folks at Surya Brasil. I was curious to find out if they had a product, or products, that wouldn't affect my hair as other conventional hair products had.
I was unfamiliar with Surya Beauty until that moment, but was happy to find out that they had a 25 year history in Brazil, and had a vision of "internal beauty that embraces the Ayurvedic principle: Know how to live in Harmony with nature and oneself using elements that do not harm the body."
They are also committed to environmental conservation, animal protection and social responsibility, while creating premium, toxic-free, dermatology tested, vegan and gluten-free products.
I was intrigued enough to initially try the Henna Cream, and Color Fixation Shampoo, conditioner and hair mask.

Natural Hair CareAt first I didn't like the feel of the products, simply because I was used to the harsh chemicals in other hair products; You know, the ingredients that create the wonderful bubbles that strip the moisture from the hair.
But, after a month of so of using the products, I noticed a huge difference in my hair. From the texture, to the shine, and of course, less hair loss as compared to when I used other hair products.
I have since started using - exclusively - the Henna Cream to color my hair every 4-6 weeks and added the Amazona Preciosa Burati Conditioner to my hair washing routine.  I prefer this conditioner over the Color Fixation line being that it's a bit more moisturizing.

I LOVE the Henna Cream!
It's not just natural hair color, it also protects and deep conditions my hair. Oh, and this is the not your hippie henna: Henna Cream is premixed in an easy to use container...and, it LASTS anywhere from 4-6 weeks. Some colors (because I have experimented with almost the entire color line), last longer.
A few things to note, is that the Surya Beauty line is fully sustainable and can almost be considered as detox for your hair.  How so? Well, Surya Beauty DOESN'T HAVE all the bad stuff that dries out our hair and makes it appear older (yes my dear, hair also ages!).

From their humble beginnings, to now being carried at major healthy and organic national grocers across the US, Surya Brasil is also available to purchase online directly via their website.
I am now a huge fan - mostly because my hair feels healthier and looks better than it has in the last couple of years, EVEN when my thyroid is out of whack!
