Education of what should be in your hair will actually help you in your healthy hair journey and allow your tresses to get the nutrients it needs. Below is a list of all the ingredients that we put into our hair care product line and what the benefits are of each ingredient. This is a list of what is in Flourishing Tresses natural hair care line and some of the benefits of each product listed.

Shikakai—This ancient Indian herb means “hair fruit” and that is exactly what it is, fruit for the hair.
