Although small in size, Quinoa is mighty!
Quinoa is considered to be a complete protein, containing all eight essential amino acids. It is also packed with vitamins, minerals, protein and is a powerful antioxidant.
Many of you will know this already and might have even heard of it being referred to as a ‘superfood’; but it is not just for eating! Because of all its wonderful qualities, Quinoa is perfect for your hair too! Organic Colour Systems have been reaping the benefits of the multi-functional ingredient in our products for around five years now.
We love finding natural ingredients that provide a healthier salon experience, without compromising on performance; and Quinoa is certainly one of those ingredients. Some of the incredible benefits include;
- Helps repair and protect hair because protein is able to penetrate the hair
- Acts as a conditioner with improved wet and dry combing
- Gloss enhancement
- Protects Hair Colour from washing off
- Significantly increases shine (shiny hair looks healthy)
- Improves definition and retention of curls
You’ll find Quinoa in our Power Build Treatment, Revamp. This is because protein is essential for strengthening hair, as it is able to penetrate the hair and reach the cortex. Just one treatment can restore protein levels of the internal and external structure of your hair by up to 35%. This is done without synthetic bond multipliers and silicones found in some products. So Revamp doesn’t just hide the problem, it genuinely repairs.
We also use Quinoa in Root Lift from our Control Range as it helps improve styling and increase volume. In our Rep-Hair Follicle Strengthening System Conditioner Quinoa helps to protect already fragile hair.
