Thin may be in, but FAR Botanicals is on a mission to "put the fat back into hair care." Since 2011 FAR Botanicals has been manufacturing professional, premium grade, fatty acid-rich formulas for salons and spas.
FAR (short for fat and rich) is striving to redefine the cultural desire to wash hair "squeaky clean." A line of gentle sulfate-free shampoos, fatty-acid moisturizers, styling and setting formulas, aim to correct this damage, leaving hair in a healthier state.
