Herbs for Hair Health

The global natural cosmetics market size is expected to reach a value of 48.04 billion by 2025, at an annual growth rate of 5.01% from 2019 to 2025, according to a report published by Grand View Research, Inc. This means small businesses who want to be in the natural hair care space have a larger opportunity to grow and be successful! Though there are established natural hair care businesses like Burt’s Bees, Aveeno, and L’Oreal, there is a growing interest in consumers who want to invest in natural products from smaller entities. These customers are even willing to pay more for these products, who want to support a product made in a more eco-friendly and small-scale way. That's why herbal ingredients for healthy hair are becoming more popular.

HERBS FOR HAIR COLOR

HERBS FOR HAIR COLOR

Chemical dyes are not the only way to help hair from greying–herbs can be used as a natural alternative to keep hair color rich and healthy. A 2015 pharmacognosy study found that different herbs like rosemary, black tea, henna, and hibiscus can be used for natural hair coloring and are much better for the overall health of your scalp and hair.

HERBS FOR FRAGRANCE

Fragrance is just an added benefit from natural, herbal hair product recipes. While the focus of natural recipes should be the benefits herbs can provide for your hair, many of the herbal ingredients that are great for your hair also smell fantastic. This is especially great news for folks who are sensitive to artificial scents. Basil, mint, and lavender are herbs that are often included in natural hair products for not only their hair benefits but fragrance as well.

HERBS FOR TEXTURE/HOLD

Everyone loves a beach wave moment, which can just as easily be attained with natural products. There are lots of dry shampoos that utilize the effects of natural ingredients like lavender, rose, and calendula to support the hair with B vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals. Natural hair sprays and dry shampoos also utilize Epsom salt to add volume and soak up those extra oils to revitalize the roots of your hair.

HERBS FOR SHAMPOO AND GROWTH

HERBS FOR SHAMPOO AND GROWTH

Shampoo is just another product consumers can squeeze some herbal benefits from. The popularization of essential oils makes it easy to add a few drops to any hair shampoo recipe like rosemary, lavender, or hibiscus—all touted for helping hair grow. Another popular shampoo innovation is the shampoo bar. This new-ish product falls in line with the Cleanicle movement—less waste, little to no packaging required, and ditching the single-use plastic bottle. It looks like a bar of soap but is specially formulated for hair, most often made from all-natural ingredients with herbs playing a significant role.

Clean ingredients including herbs and herbal extracts are here to stay as essential ingredients in hair care products. We look forward to seeing how the industry innovates and are curious about what will be the next in-vogue, super herbal ingredient for healthy hair.
