Luxury Care For Your Hair

One of the most innovative hair care lines available on the market today, Alterna Hair Care has revolutionized the way to treat problem hair. By combining exotic plants and organic ingredients, the company has broken new ground in ways of treating common hair problems we all suffer from. From premature aging, hair thinning, unruly and frizzy hair, to retaining colors.

Taking all natural ingredients from around the globe, they have created a luxury line of hair products. Plant extracts, like Hemp seed oil, Lotus Blossom, white water lily, ho-sho-wu, African cacao extract, and Moroccan quillaia bark combine to create products that strengthen hair, and boost its natural ability to heal from the stress of over-styling.

Through science, the company found that caviar extract- rich in omega-3 fatty acids, combined with other vitamins and minerals, could actually minimize signs of aging. The combination of ingredients leaves hair revitalized and younger looking, immediately.

By combining several plant extracts, minerals, and vitamins, they developed a formula that could reduce excessive hair loss. The "Nutrozyme Complex" addresses the agents of hair loss at a cellular level, to help hair become stronger and by halting the formation of chemicals that cause hair loss. Alterna Hair Care also solved the problem of curly, frizzy, and unruly hair by combining unique and exotic ingredients from around the world to tame and heal hair that has become out of control, making it easier to style and work with on a day-to-day basis.

Their Color Hold formula can be added to any coloring product to boost gray coverage and help hair retain the color for much longer than it normally would. By combining these exotic and difficult to obtain ingredients, Alterna Hair Care has created a line of product so advanced that there is nothing to which they can be compared.

How To Get Perfect Hair

Back in the late 1960's, stylist Patrick Ales began experimenting with the healing effects of plants on hair. He had his own salon in Paris, and he began concocting formulas that treated common problems with hair and different hair types. His experimentation grew from his own line used exclusively in his salon, into the product line Phyto

The products treat fourteen specific hair problems, including frizzy, dry, color treated, dandruff, hair thinning, and hair that has had too much sun exposure. The company has extensive laboratories and specialist that work as a team to determine the best combination of plants, minerals, and vitamins to treats specific problems. The team not only determines what plants would be most beneficial, but the exact elements within each plant that need to be extracted and combined with other ingredients to make the best treatment possible for a specific problem.

Phyto Hair Products combine ingredients like egg yolk, orange blossoms, and shea butter to combat dry hair. Grapefruit extract and lotus blossoms are used to treat hair damaged from coloring. For frizzy hair, combinations of acasia honey and althea make a soothing treatment. For anti-aging, ingredients like current seed oil and sunflower extracts are used to make hair stronger and younger looking. For hair loss, ginkgo biloba is combined with other powerful ingredients to help regenerate hair growth.

Each problem treated uses a combination of shampoo's and conditioners, and maybe even multi-vitamins and dietary supplements to assist in treating the problem. The Phyto products are also packaged in a way to maximize their potency for the longest period, and to eliminate the need for unnatural additives as preservatives. The methods of dispensing the product is designed to keep air out, thereby protecting the integrity of the product and preventing the effective ingredients from deterioration over time.

Finding The Brush Of A Lifetime

Dating back to 1885, the Mason Pearson Brush and comb line are know around the world as the top of the line brand. The products are hand made, not mass produced. More than just a brush or comb, the products are seen as hair treatments, and are said to be a philosophy rather than a hair accessory.
The Mason Pearson brushes are made with a rubber-cushioned pad, boar bristles or nylon bristles (or a combination of the two), and a uniquely styled handle, making it very comfortable to hold. The special bristles are designed to not pull and tug at the hair, but rather to glide through easily.
Use of the brush or comb is considered a hair treatment, designed to massage the scalp as you brush, causing the scalp to release it's natural oils, and be distributed evenly along the hair shaft, making it more shiny and healthy. The distribution of the natural oil eliminates greasy hair as well. The brush is designed to make hair shiny and manageable, and is especially recommended for long, difficult to manage hair. The brush also helps eliminate dandruff by sweeping away the dry scales.
Although the Mason Pearson brushes and combs are considered costly, customers say they are well worth the money. They are made with the highest quality materials, and with proper care, should last for many, many years. The brushes are especially popular with women with long hair who have struggled for years to detangle it after washing or at the end of the day. Reviewers say that what used to take up to 20 minutes, now takes only one or two, and that they would never use any other kind of brush. The brushes come with their own special cleaning brush, designed to improve the life span of the product.
