Each year we all become a little more ingredient-conscious. Buzz words like organic and all-natural trip off our tongues with greater ease and the hair care industry has taken notice. As Kids’ Hair Experts we’ve always been concerned about the products we’re using on your kiddos’ locks.
What’s inside our salon-quality, kid-friendly line of Snip-its haircare products? The same thing that’s always been there: Ingredients you can actually read!
Botanical Solutions
We use a variety of extracts, oils and parts of plants as natural alternatives to harsher chemicals developed in labs to make sure our products work well and are safe and gentle for your little ones.
Flowers
Aloe Leaf Juice—contains something called proteolytic enzymes which repair dead skin cells on the scalp. It promotes hair growth, prevents itching on the scalp, reduces dandruff and conditions hair. Finally, aloe is a natural sun protector, blocking out about 20% of the sunlight.
Arnica Montana Flower Extract—promotes hair health and adds volume. Arnica flower also strengthens hair strands to prevent split ends.
Calendula Flower Extract—protects the hair from free radicals and the scalp from bacterial growth. Adds shine and luster to the hair. Also known as marigold, this flower extract increases collagen production (the most abundant protein in your body and what provides your skin and hair with structure) and helps repel lice.
Chamomile Flower Extract–has a stellar reputation for healing and is great for treating skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, while reducing hair stress. Packed with antioxidants which helps boost your skin health and protects the hair and scalp from free radicals. Chamomile helps moisturize but is calm enough for sensitive skin.
