We often think carefully about the ingredients we use on our skin, but our hair and scalp deserve the same attention. From cleansing without stripping away essential moisture to keeping the scalp hydrated and balanced, choosing the right hair care products can make a noticeable difference to how hair looks and feels.
At ishga, the benefits of the ocean extend beyond skincare. Our natural hair care collection harnesses the nourishing properties of Hebridean seaweed alongside carefully selected ingredients to cleanse, condition, hydrate and care for both the hair and scalp.
Why is seaweed good for your hair?
Seaweed is naturally well suited to supporting healthy hair and scalp.
1. Hydrates and locks in moisture
Seaweed naturally contains humectants, fatty acids and polysaccharides, which help attract and retain moisture. This can help keep hair feeling hydrated, soft and smooth.
2. Supports stronger, healthier-looking hair
Amino acids play a role in the synthesis of keratin – the protein that forms much of the structure of our hair. Combined with the proteins and antioxidants naturally found in seaweed, these nutrients can help support stronger hair and reduce the likelihood of breakage and split ends.
3. Cares for the scalp
Seaweed is naturally rich in nutrients, including zinc and vitamin C, which can help support a healthy scalp. Zinc helps regulate the activity of the scalp’s sebaceous glands, supporting balanced oil production and helping to prevent both excess greasiness and dryness. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect scalp cells from free radical damage and environmental stress.
