Sexy Hair introduces the Strong Sexy Hair collection which features four products that work together to restore hairs' natural strength and flexibility.
Get strong, sexy hair again with the collection’s key ingredients that lift up weak and dull strands, replenishing their natural elasticity and shine:
Aloe Vera is high in amino acids and A, B, C, and E vitamins that help feed, moisturize, repair and bring flexibility to the hair strand. It penetrates into the hair cortex and helps provide proper nourishment to weak, unhealthy hair, while reducing tangles, split ends and hair loss due to excess damage.
Extracted from the fruit kernels of the Mango tree, Mango Butter provides extreme sustenance as it dissolves into the hair shaft to help rebuild the hair structure, locking in moisture and addign shine.
Products in the new Strong Sexy Hair collection include:
Strong Sexy Hair Color Safe Strengthening Shampoo: This sulfate free strengthening Shampoo helps restructure hair from within and provides extra moisture, making it ideal for damaged and sensitized hair. The Mango Butter and Aloe Vera restores hairs natural strength, making strands softer and more flexible for easier styling and reduced breakage after the deep clean.
Strong Sexy Hair Color Safe Strengthening Conditioner: This sulfate free strengthening Conditioner seals in moisture and restores hair from within to create a smooth, soft, and easy-to-comb surface. The conditioner creates a protectant layer to lock in essential nutrients and prep hair for the treatment to follow.
Strong Sexy Hair Core Flex: To be used after shampoo and conditioning, the Core Flex leave-in reconstructor instantly repairs hair down to its core. This leave-in treatment provides targeted care and shine to strands, making hair flexible for easier styling and reduced breakage. Use daily on damp hair from roots to ends before styling.
Strong Sexy Hair Core Strength: The Core Strength sulfate free strengthening masque is ideal for damaged hair. This masque restores strands using the amino acids in Aloe Vera and moisturizing elements in Mango Butter to provide hair with the strength to shine throughout the day. After cleansing with Strong Sexy Hair Sulfate Free Strengthening Shampoo, apply the masque evenly, comb through, and rinse. Use in combination with Core Flex leave-in reconstructor to experience the ultimate strength in hair.
