After a couple of weeks of sunshine, sand, saltwater, sea breezes and swimming pool chemicals, you may need to give your hair a bit of attention after your holiday.
Weleda's therapeutic Rosemary Hair Lotion(rrp £8.95 100ml) is made from Rosmarinus officinalis, a herb used for centuries for its restorative and tonic properties, and particularly known as a circulatory stimulant. In years gone by it was used as a hair rinse for dandruff, and it’s an ideal ingredient for dry hair and scalp. The stimulating, revitalising and strengthening properties of rosemary help condition both hair and scalp, to leave hair shiny and manageable.
This vintage find was first formulated by Weleda in 1921 and is one of Weleda’s earliest products. It is still going strong today and is popular with professionals, especially for hair and scalp massage and specialist treatment for damaged hair or problem dry scalp.
Like all Weleda products, it’s free from artificial preservatives, colourants and fragrances. As well as organically-grown rosemary, it contains extracts of the horseradish plant (Cochleria armoracia) which is naturally high in silica and sulphur – both essential for the healthy growth of hair and scalp – and stonecrop (Sedum acre) for its anti-inflammatory properties and sulphur content. Together these herbal ingredients enliven the scalp, assist hair growth and strengthen the shaft of each hair.
After washing, simply splash a little lotion on the palms of your hands and sweep through your hair whilst it is still damp, massaging into the scalp with your fingertips. Allow hair to dry naturally or blow dry on the lowest heat. Regular use helps the condition of permed, bleached or damaged hair.
For frequent use and daily conditioning, try Weleda's gentle Rosemary & Ginger Shampoo and Rosemary & Ginger Conditioner(both £7.95 250ml) which are made from natural plant-based detergents, for cleaner hair and a greener planet.
Weleda’s cruelty-free products are all suitable for vegetarians. Available from natural health stores or mail order from Weleda on 0115 944 8222 or the online store at www.weleda.co.uk
