Living Libations True Blue Spirulina Shampoo

Similar to radiant skin, radiant hair is coated in natural oils that protect each strand and keep the hair elastic, smooth, and shiny. The scalp produces these oils in exactly the right amount to keep the hair lubricated. Synthetic hair products, even those marketed for treated and coloured hair, strip away these oils, irritate the scalp, and damage hair follicles. Some of the harsh chemicals in these products, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and oleyl betaine, can cause hair colour to fade fast. Instead of the full, shiny, smooth locks promised on the bottle the result is often dull, faded, and lifeless hair.

Living Libations' shampoos are great for coloured hair. Healthy looking hair sets the stage for dimensional colour and shiny strands. The day or night before you plan on applying colour, use Living Libations' super hydrating, heavenly Honey Myrtle Deep Conditioning Mask, or sleep with Shine On or True Blue Spirulina Conditioners in your hair overnight. This will prime hair and pave the way for luminous colour afterward. Plump strands of hair grab on to the dye and hold colour longer without fading. A few days after colouring your hair you may want to skip all hair products to give the dye ample time to set.

Suitable for all hair types, including children’s hair and colored hair.

• Coco-Protein (Cocos nucifera) - Coco-protein along with yucca are the saponifiers that help True Blue Spirulina Shampoo have its purely natural, botanical suds. Coco- protein is derived from the sugars, proteins and fatty acids of organic, virgin coconut oil. Coco-protein is a non-ionic saponifier that has been tested to be free of any recognised side effects. It is not detected in human tissue or urine and is free from ethylene oxide (which can cause nitrosamine contamination) and also free from preservatives. It has excellent dermatological compatibility and also has low environmental impact, as it is highly biodegradable. Coco-protein is not related to any of the sulfates or sulfides, which are best avoided.
• Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) - Aloe is a botanical gem from the desert that ensures proper balance of moisture and promotes healthy hair. It is so easily absorbed into the hair and skin and harmonises oily hair and moisturises dry hair. It smoothes the hair cuticle and creates an invisible layer on the surface of each hair strand, helping to lock in moisture and nutrients.
• Yucca (Yucca elata) - Yucca, also known as soap tree, is a native plant to the America Southwest. The roots of these trees are very high in saponins and traditionally have been used by Native Americans as a natural body and laundry soap. These yucca root saponins are a soap-making ingredient, which encourages the lather in Living Libations' shampoo. This special root also has emollient properties that have a soothing effect on the hair shaft.
• Bladderwrack Seaweed (Fucus vesiculosus) - This succulent Seaweed is naturally mucilangenic, being both stimulating and tonifying for the hair.

This benevolent blue dream brings peace to your hair care routine.
• Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) - Yarrow is particularly suited to balancing skin oil production, especially in oily skin. It is high in cool, blue azulene to calm the scalp.
• German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) - Beloved Blue Chamomile essence is distilled from flowers in the daisy family and harvested in the early morning hours for the most potent extract. High quantities of chamazulene impart this distillation with a deep oceanic blue color, and compelling cooling and calming blessings are especially suited for skin and hair care. With its inky blue hue, German chamomile contains constituents of sesquiterpenes (azulene) and sesquiterpenols (a-bisabolol) making this oil an opulent offering to beautify our bodies.
• Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) - Sacred Frankincense is beautifully balsamic in nature, giving it the unparalleled power to fade the appearance of scars, fine lines, and puffiness. In hair care, frankincense fortifies hair strands and scalp.
• Blood Orange (Citrus aurantium) - Blood Orange oil is a tonic for the hair roots and scalp, and its uplifting scent is always inspiring.
• Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) - Rich, earthy Vetiver oil is grounding and calming for the skin, anointing the roots of each hair strand as the rain anoints the grass. Vetiver is a humectant that helps skin and hair retain moisture.
