Q. What benefits do your products have?

A. Holistic Hair has a prescription-based approach to the hair and scalp. The products are easy to recognise for specific conditions. The ingredients are natural and contain no harmful chemicals. A qualified Trichologist (hair and scalp specialist) and a qualified aroma therapist have designed our entire range. We also back up our range with an easy to access advisory service.

Q.I have had a reaction to hair products in the past, what is different about Holistic Hair?

A. Most people who have a reaction are sensitive to the harsh chemical ingredients in the majoritory of the main stream cosmetics .Our carefully researched blends are all hypo allergenic (low allergy) They contain the best quality ingredients such as 100% natural essential oils, certified organic extracts and are free from harmful chemicals.

Q. Can I combine Holistic hair with my other hair products?

A. Absolutely! Holistic Hair will complement other products rather than compromise them. Holistic Hair is compatible with other ranges such as those for coloured or fine hair and can be used in conjunction with your styling products as well.

Q. Why do you have apple cider vinegar and vodka in some of your ingredients?

A. Apple cider vinegar has been used for centuries as a cure all, from weight loss to liver function and more importantly for us, skin conditions and hair growth. Apple cider vinegar has the same PH value as healthy skin and is excellent in restoring the delicate balance of both scalp and hair, especially for those who have coloured hair or a sensitivity to cosmetics in general.

Aroma therapists throughout time have used vodka to enhance the strength of pure essential oils. In small amounts it assists in blending the oils into water based solutions. Herbalists and homeopaths use medicinal alcohol to help convey the benefits of herbal extracts as a treatment for a wide variety of health issues.

Although we use only a very diluted amount we have found it to have a beneficial effect when treating dry damaged hair and scalp conditions that may be at risk of infection.

Q. My scalp regularly flares up and gets dry and itchy. What should I use?

A. It could be a scalp condition known as psoriasis. We recommend using the sensitive scalp shampoo combined with the leave-in rinse to soothe any inflammation. Check out articles for more in depth information on Psoriasis.

Q. Help!! My hair is really frizzy, dry and hard to control.

A. We have a great product called therapy for dry damaged hair. It contains a beautiful combination of pure essential and certified organic oils that can be left on overnight several times per week. Our sensitive scalp shampoo and conditioner will also assist. Check out our article on frizzy hair.

Q. Is Holistic Hair safe to use on my children or during pregnancy?

A. We have had great feed back from customers using our shampoo and our oils for child’s cradle cap and because of the low concentration it is safe to use. As a safety precaution we recommend not to use the two scalp massage oils during the first tri-mester (3 months) of pregnancy. For any further clarification please feel free to contact us by e-mail
