You worry about your skin. You invest a significant amount of your time and money into caring for your skin as best as you can. Preventing damage, signs of aging, and dryness are all things that we associate with skincare. However, your skin isn’t the only part of you that needs some TLC. Why don’t we give our hair the same attention? Hair care is just as important and our hair is subject to aging, damage, and dryness as well. Our hair and our skin are both subject to the same environment and we want to keep them both looking amazing no matter how old we are or what we have going on in our lives. It is time we love the hair on our heads and care for it like we care for our skin!
Assess the Damage
We all experience different issues with our hair. What is your main complaint about your hair?
- Dryness
- Breaks easily
- Damage from coloring
- Thinning or Fine
- Sun damage
- Frizzy
- Dull
- Aging
You can and should approach these issues the same way as you would approach issues with your skin. Seek out the best solutions that target your issues specifically. You should choose products with ingredients that are gentle yet effective. Skip the yucky stuff like sulfates and parabens. You can’t heal your hair with harmful stuff, so stop buying whatever shampoo is on sale at the grocery store. Your hair is an important part of you and can change the way you feel about yourself. Don’t ignore the signs of damage or hair loss. Treat them!

- The Instant Recovery Conditioner is designed to work with the shampoo to renew your hair. Not only is damage repaired, but the conditioner protects against future breakage and damage as well.
If you really need some moisture and you need it now, the Moisture Intense Oil Creme Shampoo is the way to go. This is a low lather, oil based cleanser. It gently removes dirt and oil but does not dry out your hair. Instead, it actually transforms to an anti-aging creme with water thanks to the Abyssinian Oil that Alterna uses. Your hair is cleansed and moisturized all at once. This is unlike any shampoo you have ever tried. If you have struggled with dry hair for a long time without seeing results, this will change everything for you.
The Moisture Intense Deep Conditioner is exactly what you need if you have dry hair that breaks easily. You hair will happily soak this up and the outcome will be lustrous, strong locks no matter how dry and damaged they were before. This conditioner is intense and uses the same Abyssinian Oil as the shampoo. It creates a barrier around each strand so moisture is not lost during styling or throughout the day.
Alterna uses the power of bamboo to give you strong and gorgeous hair, every single day. Each of the products in the Bamboo Collection used eco-certified bamboo. Why bamboo? Well it turns out bamboo is rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. You hair will be strong and flexible thanks to this haircare line that also contains kendi oil, macca root, gooseberry, and kalahari melon. While you will find all these powerful botanicals, you will not find any sulfates, paragons, or synthetic colors.
