When it comes to styling your hair the natural way, we know it is a lot easier just to reach for the nearest tube of gel or pot of wax when you head to the supermarket, but did you ever stop to think about the consequences? Once you have finished with your product, the packaging gets discarded and ends up, more often than not, in a landfill. Furthermore, the ingredients that go into these gels and waxes are often not great for your hair and are just there to ‘look good’ whilst not actually achieving much.
But there are other eco-friendly, vegan, natural men’s hair care options. We have teamed up with Rugged Nature to stock their line of natural hair waxes and natural hair clays that promote great natural hair as well as an environmentally-friendly ethos. So what is in them? And what are some of the best natural ingredients for natural men’s hair care products.
Shea butter
Great in natural men’s haircare products, shea butter is great for everything. It is natural, organic, gentle, and extremely moisturising but due to its consistency, it also makes a great base for natural hair wax. You can find shea butter in our range of handmade, 100% natural hair wax and natural hair clays. Shea butter has a slightly nutty smell and a creamy texture, it holds your hair in place, moisturises it and makes it smell nice. What more could you want?
Beeswax
Beeswax is another eco, natural ingredient that used in natural men’s hair care products, perfect for those with unruly hair as it smooths, straightens, and keeps your hair style in place. Other than that, it is known for soothing scalp conditions, promoting hair growth, and moisturising your hair. Not only does it make you look good but it takes care of your hair as well. At Peace With The Wild, our hand-picked selection of natural hair wax contains beeswax for a long lasting, strong, and firm hold.
Kaolin
Kaolin is a type of clay that is widely used in natural skincare and natural men’s haircare. It strengthens your hair and promotes elasticity as well as helping to repair damaged hair. It also has properties that soothes the scalp, treat dandruff, and encourages hair growth. Lastly, its consistency means it works well in natural hair products, holding your style in place and giving a matte effect. You can find kaolin in a range of our eco-friendly, vegan, natural hair clays such as this one from Rugged Nature that is scented with sandalwood essential oil
Apricot kernel oil
In natural men’s haircare this wonderful organic oil helps keep your hair soft and moisturised whilst you style, instead of drying you out like some other commercial products do. A great natural ingredient that is chemical free, vegan and eco-friendly, perfect in natural men’s haircare products. You can also find natural apricot kernel oil in our hand-picked selection of natural hair wax and vegan, natural hair clays.
