Are these 3 ingredients the next big thing for shiny hair?

4 February, 2024 - 01:57pm by - BR-Queenie | 146 Comments


In the quest for healthier, shinier, and more resilient locks, many of us are turning to natural formulations and ingredients in our hair care, and we’re looking for products with less in them to do more. But what are some of the stand-out natural ingredients and what do they offer? Here are 3 of the rising stars that we’ve come across. 

Jojoba Oil,  derived from the seeds of the jojoba plant has been a staple in beauty rituals for centuries. Its molecular structure closely resembles the natural oils produced by the scalp, making it an ideal ingredient for hair care products. Jojoba Oil's benefits in shampoos and conditioners include:

  • Deep Moisturisation: Jojoba Oil is a potent emollient, providing deep hydration to the hair shaft. It can assist with locking in moisture, preventing dryness and reducing frizz.

  • Scalp Health: A healthy scalp is crucial for vibrant hair. Jojoba Oil has antimicrobial properties that can aid in maintaining a balanced scalp environment, reducing dandruff and itching.

  • Hair Strength and Thickness: Rich in vitamins and minerals, Jojoba Oil nourishes hair follicles, promoting strength and thickness. Regular use can result in fuller, more robust strands.

Yerba Mate, a South American plant renowned for its stimulating properties when consumed as a tea, is now making waves in the beauty industry for its exceptional benefits in hair care for delivering the following:

  • Antioxidant Power: Yerba Mate is a rich source of antioxidants, protecting hair from environmental damage and free radicals. This helps maintain colour vibrancy and prevents premature aging of the hair.

  • Increased Circulation: The caffeine content in Yerba Mate stimulates blood flow to the scalp, helping to promote healthier hair growth.  

Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, is gaining popularity in skin and hair care for its versatile benefits. When incorporated into shampoos and conditioners, Niacinamide contributes to:

  • Strengthening Hair Structure: Niacinamide helps fortify the hair structure by enhancing protein synthesis. This can result in stronger, more resilient strands less prone to breakage.

  • Reducing Scalp Inflammation: With its anti-inflammatory properties, Niacinamide soothes the scalp, assisting in reducing redness and irritation. This is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive or dry scalps.

A’kin is so convinced about the benefits of these 3 ingredients that they’ve built a hair care system around them, and we’re going to get you to put it to the test to see if they’re right.

 

The Daily Shine Shampoo & Conditioner contains Jojoba Oil, Yerba Mate, and Niacinamide to deeply nourish for healthy-looking hair and maximin shine. 100% Vegan, sulphate and silicone-free, both products have a fragrance combination of Geranium, Cedarwood and Patchouli and are proven* to:

  •  Increase shine by 28% after one use

  • Deliver instantly smoother hair after one wash

I’m definitely in need of a revamp to my haircare routine after having two babies and natural sounds good to me! I’d love to try this out

A shampoo /conditioner that will give me more shine and smoothness without irritating my scalp is a dream come true so yes please I would love to be on this trial.I have curly bleached blonde hair and prefer to use natural based products,I am keen to see how this compares to my current brand I'm using.

5th February, 2024

Omg! This sounds amazing! Calming for your scalp and extra shine, just what I need. With the sun, air conditioning and pollution our hair deserves a treat. Yes please, I would live to trial this shampoo and conditioner.

5th February, 2024

Sounds like magic potion for hair! Definitely need something that reduces frizz and makes hair smoother. And not many shampoos can claim they help with premature aging of hair. Would love to try these products.

I'm looking for a new combo to increase the amount of moisture my hair holds onto. I had a big chop haircut and magically my hair is curly again, but that really means having to be nice to it, rather than shampoo, rinse, dry and shove it in a bun.

5th February, 2024

Smoother and shiny hair sounds exactly what I need for my hard to tame dull hair..

5th February, 2024

Shinier and smoother hair sounds great. I'd love to give a new shampoo and conditioner a try on my "greying by the minute" hair.

5th February, 2024

I actually have a really dry scalp and get quite a bit of dandruff so I would really like to try this to see if it helps cause I can’t seem to get rid of it.

5th February, 2024

My hair needs some TLC after the hot sun. It's been getting frizzy in the humid weather. I would like smoother hair. I like the use of natural products to improve hair condition.

5th February, 2024

My hair is quite dull due to being in the sun, in the pool and the ocean so much during summer. Hard to believe A'kin daily shine is supposed to make hair smoother after one wash. My scalp could definitely benefit from some care too.

5th February, 2024

I am curious to try this, as I have been on a journey noticing my scalp itches and is sore. Anything to bring down inflammation would be great. I also have thick hair, so nourishing and shine to keep the knots at bay with jojoba sounds perfect!

5th February, 2024

I have medium length straight hair. I have found my once easy to manage hair has started knotting and Any imperfection is incredibly noticeable. This sounds like a dream. Shiny and smooth hair. I also have psoriasis so anything no soother my scalp is amazing

5th February, 2024

My hair needs extra moisture and a reduction in frizz so jojoba oil sounds fantastic. I love that it would add strength and shine. The antimicrobial properties to balance my scalp would be fantastic, as I've had a few drier patches develop recently, so helping them clear would be great. Smoother shinier hair is what I would love, and believe these products could give me the results I'm looking for.

5th February, 2024

Yes, 100% my hair could do with being smoother and shinier! Would love to test these products!

5th February, 2024

I would love to give this shampoo and conditioner a go. Having been in the sun a lot this summer my hair is dry, colour faded and a little brittle. Increased shine is definitely what I need.
