Detox Your Locks

More about hair this week, and the stress it can undergo when you travel. From air conditioning and heating, to the dry air on long haul flights, swimming in the ocean and the myriad of products you might use to keep your do in great shape, your hair is under attack on the road. That's why travelling with a great shampoo is important, not only to revitalise your locks but also get hair squeaky clean. A new shampoo I've recently discovered, and which is great for the job, is Pure Hair Food Clarifying Shampoo. For a start, the range is "clean" and very pure formula wise, its product ticking the boxes of three basic, self-imposed rules. The first rule is that its products are free of the nasties like sulphate, paraben and sodium chloride, and they are colour safe. Rule 2 celebrates Australia, with all Pure Hair Food products created and crafted using as many locally sourced Australian made ingredients as possible. And the final rule is that its products are 100 per cent tested on stylist not animals.

Pure Hair Food has a wide range of products in its hair care line, but I got to try its Clarifying Shampoo, which in essence is a detox for your hair. This shampoo is terrific at removing the typical build-up of products and chemicals, while also reviving hair after a swim in the ocean. It can be used every day, which is great while you are holidaying, and it even smells a little like summer! Ingredients in the power packed formula include Aloe Vera, which promotes healthy hair growth, Pro-Vitamin B5, a great hydrator, and Wheat Protein which strengthens and repairs. It takes a little more effort to get a lather up with this shampoo, due to its lack of parabens, and it's rich, natural formula, but the result is worth it. Your hair is literally squeaky clean, hydrated and glossy, ready to style, ready to go. Pure Hair Food's Clarifying Shampoo comes in a neat 250ml pump bottle, ideal for women on the go, and has an rrp of $28.95 (www.purehairfood.com.au).
