Blue Agave for Curly Hair
What do you think of when you hear Blue Agave? No, its not just for tequila! This beautiful & lush plant has many benefits in skin and hair care. Because this plant is a succulent, it has the power to retain moisture and draw hydration at a cellular level. Sounds like a superpower desired by all waves, curls and coils. Blue Agave is naturally frizz fighting, as it helps to moisturize and deeply hydrate hair strands using its unique ability to absorb and hold water which textured hair loves.
Is Agave Good For Your Hair & Scalp?
Native to the southwestern US & Mexico, Blue Agave, contains natural sugars in the nectar of the plant that has an extreme capacity to lock in hydration, maintaining & restoring moisture balance to hair and scalp. No wonder this hydrating plant wonder can survive the scorching heat of the deep desert and never lose its luscious water content.
Similar to the Aloe Vera plant, Agave combats frizz with its moisture retention abilities. Agave benefits hair in that it is highly nourishing at the scalp level which promotes and encourages strong growth. It has the ability to restore shine, softness & smoothness to hair.
Agave has healing abilities, too! It is an active anti-inflammatory and is even known to be used as a treatment to heal wounds. It bears similarities to the healing and many rich benefits of honey, however it is completely vegan.
For our Rizos Curls Beach Waves Texturizing Salt Spray, we went hard to create a spray that harnesses the science of Sea Salt on hair and how the slight dehydration of the strand encourages an increase of texture and body. Our priority was to use this natural texture enhancement to attain results but to also add very intentional natural ingredients that would balance the formula making it hydrating and moisturizing, too. The best of both worlds; boosted texture with vitamin packed humectants to leave the gritty, wiry version of beach body hair on the seashore and ONLY enjoy the same ocean sized texture results!
