Although small in size, Quinoa is mighty!
The benefits of Quinoa are incredible not just as a food, but as an ingredient in your hair care products!
Quinoa is considered to be a complete protein, containing all eight essential amino acids. It is also packed with vitamins, minerals, protein and is a powerful antioxidant.* Many of you will know this already and might have even heard of it being referred to as a ‘superfood’; but it’s not just for eating! Because of all its wonderful qualities, Quinoa is perfect for your hair too! We have been reaping the benefits of the multi-functional ingredient in our products for around five years now.
We love finding natural ingredients that provide a healthier salon experience, without compromising on performance; and Quinoa is certainly one of those ingredients.
Some of the incredible benefits include;
- Helps repair and protect hair because protein is able to penetrate the hair,
- Acts as a conditioner with improved wet and dry combing,
- Gloss enhancement,
- Protects Hair Colour from washing off,
- Significantly increases shine (shiny hair looks healthy),
- Improves definition and retention of curls.
You’ll find Quinoa in our Power Build Treatment, Revamp. This is because protein is essential for strengthening hair, just one treatment can restore protein levels of the internal and external structure of your hair by up to 35%. This is done without synthetic bond multipliers and silicones found in some products. So Revamp doesn’t just hide the problem, it genuinely repairs.
We also use Quinoa in Root Lift from our Control Range as it helps improve styling and increase volume. And in our Rep-Hair® Follicle Strengthening System Conditioner Quinoa helps to protect already fragile hair. The Conditioner, Shampoo and Treatment is now available to purchase separately from the Rep-Hair® Follicle Strengthening System in the UK and will soon be available in all markets. This will make it easier for clients to top up as required so they can keep up with their daily scalp and hair care regime.
