Combat dry and damaged hair with the use of algae

All about algae and dry hair

Dry hair, damaged hair, or hair loss? Algae are not only a miracle remedy for your body and face. Just think of La Mer. Your hair can benefit enormously from them too. Did you know that algae can also help prevent future hair damage? Yes, so powerful are these little green plants! In this blog, you’ll learn why you should start caring for and treating your hair with algae!

Why algae for your hair?

In a blog post we wrote earlier, we already discussed how algae affect hair. We’re seeing algae become increasingly important not only as a superfood, but also in the cosmetics industry. Algae, seaweed, and seawater have been credited with healing properties for centuries. Scientific research increasingly shows that algae and algae extracts do more for our hair and skin than just hydrate them. We have good news for you! L'Alga products are formulated with an algae-based complex from the deepest parts of the oceans. What makes algae so special? Algae thrive in the most extreme environments on our planet, giving them unique power.  

Algae Hair Products

Algae or seaweed

The terms algae and seaweed are often used interchangeably, but they are essentially the same thing. They are plant-like marine organisms that use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into carbohydrates. Like plants, they release oxygen into our atmosphere.

Algae keep hair in optimal health

But why algae/seaweed for our hair? Algae are rich in healthy nutrients and antioxidants. Most types of algae contain minerals such as iron, iodine, calcium, sodium and amino acids. They also contain vitamins, trace elements, and plant-based proteins. Minerals, vitamins, and trace elements are essential for keeping our bodies, skin, and hair in optimal health! It's no wonder algae are considered a superfood. Just think of Chlorella and Spirulina.

Which hair problems can you tackle with algae?

Dry/damaged hair

Dry/damaged hair is exposed too often to the sun, pool/seawater, and heat styling tools. In particular, the red algae Bio-Restorer works like magic on damaged and dry hair. It forms a kind of protective coating around the hair. This red algae is especially suited to chemically damaged hair. Its effect on dry and damaged hair is remarkable. Bio-Restorer also contributes greatly to protecting the hair, particularly against split ends.

Frizzy hair

Frizzy hair is often associated with dry or damaged hair. The algae Oligogeline repairs and protects the hair fibers. This algae also helps prevent your hair from drying out so quickly. It focuses mainly on softening the hair. After caring for your hair with Oligogeline, it will shine again. The algae Alariane is also known for its anti-frizz properties.

Colored hair

Colored hair needs extra care. Extra nourishment and, above all, plenty of maintenance to keep the color on point . The Bio-Energizer algae strengthens the hair. This is essential for colored hair or hair that is about to be colored. Bio-Extender also strengthens your hair and makes it more elastic. This helps keep your hair looking healthy despite the chemical coloring treatment, and your beautiful hair color lasts longer.

Thin hair

Bio-Energizer adds volume to the hair and strengthens it. Oligogeline improves circulation, which in turn helps hair grow better and faster. If you already have thin hair, you’ll want to prevent it from breaking. Bio-Extender is key to this and helps prevent hair breakage.

Algae complex for hair

Can you imagine what a cocktail containing all the algae mentioned above does to your hair? Such a cocktail would be a miracle cure for your hair. Algae can keep growing year after year, come rain or shine. These plants continue growing in the sea, on the sea, or on rocks. Algae have to struggle for energy to survive. It’s precisely this struggle that gives these plants such a wide variety of healthy ingredients. Think omega fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, polysaccharides, and much more. And if algae can manage to keep growing healthily on rocks, just imagine what these power plants can do for our hair!

Hair products containing algae

Now you’re probably thinking: bring on the algae in my hair. We have two top brands that contain the most essential algae for hair: L’Alga and SachaJuan. Two fantastic brands with beautifully designed bottles. Good for your hair and pleasing to the eye. We’ve already shared a few things about  SachaJuan in an earlier blog post. L’Alga is suitable for every hair type. What you do need to pay attention to is how much you use. Dry hair needs about 15 ml of the hair mask, while 5 ml is enough for normal, healthy hair.

 

Algae, magic for your hair

Algae feature prominently in SachaJuan hair products. The brand uses extracts from two cold-water algae: rhodophycea and chondrus crispus. These types of algae are harvested naturally from the ocean.

L’Alga

L’Alga, the evolution of healthy hair, focuses mainly on preventing future hair damage. As you get older, your hair loses nutrients, moisture, and elasticity. Other factors also play an important role: chemical treatments and exposure to pollution, the sun, and heat sources. These factors cause hair to lose its shine, softness, and vitality, resulting in damaged hair.

L’Alga Ocean Technology

With its new formula,  L’Alga Ocean Technology, this remarkable algae brand knows how to prevent damaged hair and restore it when needed. The combination of the 5 types of algae they use (Bio-Extender, Oligogeline, Bio-Restorer, Alariane and Bio-Energie) helps hair regain its moisture, softness, shine, flexibility, shine, and vitality. It’s no wonder the brand is considered revolutionary in the world of haircare!

I’ve been using the hair mask for over seven weeks now, and I can only say that I really like it for my hair (long/dry/damaged/curly hair). After use, my hair feels smooth and healthy. L’Alga’s products also have a wonderful scent. Whenever I’ve washed my hair, people around me always ask what smells so good. I use about 15 ml and leave it on for 5-10 minutes.

Try algae

We can conclude that trying hair products with algae is definitely worth it. Don’t want to commit to a full-size bottle right away? Order a sample size from us, so you can try it first before opting for a larger size. After seeing the positive results, you’ll undoubtedly add the beautiful bottles from L’Alga to your haircare collection!

Best wishes!
