We utilise the power of valuable oils obtained from chia seeds as effective beauty boosters in our hair care products. Discover all there is to know about the "miraculous wonder seeds" and their benefits in shampoos, conditioners & co.!
What are chia seeds?
Chia seeds come from the Mexican Chia, a species of sage with purple, blue or white flowers that originated almost exclusively in Mexico and Central America. It travelled from the shores of the New World to Spain, among other places, hence its Latin name "salvia hispanica".
In more recent times, the exotic plant has also successfully been cultivated in the Caribbean, in the southern US, Australia and parts of Africa. The flowers of the Mexican sage are rich in nectar and provide a welcome food source for bees and bumblebees. Once the flowers wilt, the seeds found within ripen and can be processed after harvesting.
How the superfood has conquered the world of hair care
Chia seeds have been a fixed element on the food scene for a while now. Not without good reason: Raw chia seeds contain several unsaturated fatty acids, a high protein content and numerous vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are extremely high in fiber and – much like flaxseed and linseed – can absorb an impressive amount of water.
All of these properties make chia seeds not only a highly nutritious source of food, but also the ideal raw material for natural hair care products. Based on the latest findings in hair cosmetics research, at Yours Truly we’ve decided to harness the power of chia seeds as one of the botanical ingredients in our vegan, animal friendly formulas to achieve salon-quality hair care products.
The polysaccharides found in chia seeds are real miracle workers, especially when included in shampoos and conditioners for curly hair: They give curls natural, lasting definition while eliminating the need to use styling products that contain synthetic ingredients. Chia shampoo and conditioner wrap the hair in a protective coat to prevent it from losing moisture – even when exposed to intense sunlight or when straightening or blow-drying. Providing optimal protection if you're susceptible to dry hair. The natural ingredient also combats frizz and helps prevent flyaways, both of which are a regular occurrence after blow drying.
