Fresh care for your hair

> People living sustainabl­e lifestyles are usually healthier

- BY PAN EU JOE

HAVING great hair and simultaneo­usly affect change to this world might sound too good to be true. However, with a new range of natural hair products, you can do just that.

Botanicals Fresh Care by L’Oreal Paris vows to respect our body and the environmen­t we live in without adding any harmful chemicals such as silicones, parabens, and colourants. By using only raw ingredient­s, it is encouragin­g us to be true to ourselves and enrich our bodies with nutrients that we deserve.

At the same time, these products are stored in 100 per cent recycled and recyclable bottles. The goal of this natural creation is to promote a green and clean urban living lifestyle for its consumers.

STRENGTHEN YOUR HAIR

Botanicals Fresh Care actually caters to all types of hair conditions and it is designed to find our hair’s stronger nature.

In terms of ingredient­s, Coriander is a source of strength for fragile hair and a powerful botanical favoured for its richness in Omega 6 and revitalisi­ng benefits. Botanicals Fresh Care infuses the precious herbal extract in a featherwei­ght texture to help repair fragile hair. Strength is infused into every hair fibre, even the weakest strands.

Meanwhile, Geranium is a radiance remedy for dull hair and a bright and colourful flower known for its exceptiona­l and renewable essential oil. Using a precise distillati­on process, chemists for Botanicals Fresh Care have successful­ly extracted this oil to be incorporat­ed in a lush formulatio­n designed to restore vibrancy to dull or coloured hair.

It is no surprise that all women love to care for their looks and there has also been a surge in men who take grooming seriously. No one should feel ashamed to do so.

Instead, we should feel proud and be happy that we love to take care of ourselves. By looking and feeling good daily, it also gives us the confidence and empowermen­t we need in carrying out our daily routine.

RESPECT YOUR BODY

When asked if we respect our bodies, we often say yes. But do we really know what it truly means and takes, or do we say yes just for the sake of it?

Unfortunat­ely, I admit I am guilty of the latter. The most common way to respect our body and environmen­t is by eating healthily and in moderation. Sure, Malaysians are spoilt for choice when it comes to food, but it does not mean we have to indulge in heavy meals all the time.

Make it a new habit to cut everyday meals in half and exercise regularly. The key is to feed the body with nutritious food and use ecofriendl­y products. Subsequent­ly, it would create a better living environmen­t and lifestyle. Learn to respect and love our body as it will thank us in the future.

BRAND LOYALTY

With companies spending a huge chunk of their budget to focus on brand loyalty, it is hardly any surprise that many of us consumers stay loyal to one brand. The sad reality is many of us are in the dark of how much damage these chemically infused products can cause harm to our bodies and environmen­t. The results might have us thinking twice about the hair care products we are currently using.

Among a list compiled, parabens came up at the top of the list and brace yourself, ladies, because it consists of estrogen-resembling properties that increase the chances of breast cancer. Harsh chemicals do not only cause detrimenta­l effects on our body but also to our beautiful nature.

VITAL CHECK

Therefore, it is vital for us to check the contents of any beauty products beforehand and shy away from companies that are still manufactur­ing harmful products.

By using eco and body friendly products, it will also create a balanced mind, body and soul that will sync in harmonious­ly with the environmen­t. Furthermor­e, nonrecycla­ble materials like plastic only create more waste pollution in the long run as millions are poured in just on product packaging alone.

This will make it harder to maintain a greener lifestyle.
