Yep, that’s right - they do exist! Believe it or not, the market is now chock-full of toxin-free options.  Benefits of using Natural Hairspray Hairspray gives your hair style and shape.

What exactly is a Natural Hairspray?  Natural hairspray is not like other sprays, mostly because it contains ingredients that are safe and pure from the Earth. It (mostly) excludes bad things like sulfates, parabens, or fake scents. This keeps your hair safe and healthy (for the most part). I want to reiterate here that not every ingredient in even the most sustainable hairsprays is natural or perfect. The key here is to have mostly natural ingredients, from a mostly sustainable brand. It’s not about perfection, but about progress. Now back to natural hairsprays… If you’re sensitive to chemicals, natural hairspray might be just what your scalp needs! Even people with colored or henna-treated hair can use it too! Natural hairspray works by holding your hairstyle in place but doesn't damage the hair with toxic or petroleum-based ingredients. Look for plant-based ingredients like organic aloe vera. With a little bit of research, you can choose from high-quality, select brands based on what you need for your hair type and desired hold level. To save you some time, we did the research for you! Here are the top 8 non-toxic, natural hairspray products to keep your head and skin happy. Best Natural Hairspray Products 1.

17 Best Volumizing Hair Products For Flat Hair, According To Dermatologists And Reviews Written by: Lizzy Briskin  www.womenshealthmag.com   Let's face it, we've all had a bad hair day (or several) involving sad, limp tresses that look plastered to our heads. While the slicked-back ponytail is always a solid option on those flat hair days, sometimes you don't want to resort to a pulled-back look. That's when the best hair volumizing products, including shampoos, sprays, leave-in conditioners, and mousses, can turn a limp look into bright, bouncy height. Of course, the last thing you want is a "volumizing" product that only weighs your hair down further. That's why we spoke with a hairstylist and dermatologists to find the best products to add major volume to even the finest, straightest strands. John Masters Organics Volumizing Foam with Quinoa and Acacia Gum ($29)   This mousse is made from mostly organic ingredients and comes in an eco-friendly non-aerosol can, but beyond that, it adds major volume with just a small pump of product. This foam is great for frizzy hair, in particular, because it adds structure and hold that will smooth flyaways and add hold. We love that the mousse comes in a small five ounce bottle that travels easily.   Key Ingredients: Hydrolyzed quinoa, organic acacia senegal gum, soy protein   Best For: Frizzy Hair

15+ Best Vegan Shampoos Written by: Vurjeet Madan  www.theyouthist.com   Just like the food we feed our bodies, the shampoo we feed our hair with is crucial for maintaining its healthiness. Not only is vegan shampoo an environmentally-friendly decision, it is one that your hair will also thank you for. Essentially a seal for healthy, natural ingredients in your shampoo, the term ‘vegan’ connotates a lack of the harsh chemicals that are often discretely hidden in popular shampoos. Vegan-certified shampoos often contain higher amounts of organic and natural ingredients that are often more beneficial for your hair.  John Masters Organics Shampoo for Normal Hair ($29) Made with a rich blend of organic rosemary oil, lavender oil, aloe vera juice, white tea extract and jojoba seed, this natural vegan shampoo makes for a beautiful lather and heavenly natural scent. The addition of rosemary and lavender help to soothe any scalp irritation, balance oil production, and calm down the hair follicles. The “lush lather” comes from naturally derived surfactants, proving that a vegan shampoo doesn’t mean you have to skimp on the luxurious experience of the bubbly lathering that makes washing your hair all-the-more fun.  Alternatively, you may choose to go for John Masters Organics Shampoo for Fine Hair ($29) made with fine hair in mind. The formula treats fine hair by providing a gentle cleanse that won’t strip hair oils, and helps to strengthen limp or weak strands to prevent hair breakage. In addition, this formula is made with peppermint that adds an extra-soothing factor that will leave your scalp feeling clean and refreshed. As always, this John Masters’ Organics formula is made with naturally derived surfactants that lead to a beautifully lather-able shampoo.

The 17 Best Frizz-Control Products for Fine Hair of 2024 Written by: Lindsay Colomeo and Caitlyn Martin www.byrdie.com   No hair type is immune to frizz, but one might argue the thin-haired crowd gets the short end of the stick. Why? Solutions for the problem often weigh hair down, making it look overly stiff, slick, or even greasy. So, what are folks with fine strands to do? Luckily, we're privy to several effective products that smooth flyaways without adding unnecessary heaviness or creating an excessively sleek appearance. It's all about sealing the cuticles, strengthening the hair shaft, and moisturizing parched strands to deliver healthy-looking hair from root to end. From creams and treatments to shampoos and conditioners, there's something that'll work for your unique hair and preferred styling regimen. To find the best frizz-control products that don’t weigh down fine hair, we conducted hours of research—evaluating each product based on their active ingredients, whether or not they actually tame unruly flyaways, and how nicely they absorb into hair strands. After considering dozens of formulas, we landed on these top-rated picks.   Best Mask: John Masters Organics Nourishing Hair Mask with Rose and Apricot ($32) What We Like: Ultra moisturizing formula Works fast in 3-5 minutes Gentle on sensitive scalp What We Don’t Like: Strong floral rose scent   Hair masks can do wonders for addressing frizz, like this ultra-moisturizing formula by John Masters Organics. The texture is not too thick or too thin, striking the Goldilocks ideal for a pampering treatment that hydrates the heck out of dry, brittle, overworked hair. It melts into strands as you run it through your hair from root to tip, and after five minutes of letting it work its magic, it rinses away, leaving hair soft and shiny, not coated or heavy. The end result is a cleansed scalp, decreased split ends, and all-around smoother strands. It also doubles as a masterful curl cream, wrangling curls while maintaining a healthy springy bounce for tendrils that are smooth and shiny.

The 13 Best Natural & Clean Cleansing Balms  Written by: Alexandra Engler   Every skin care fanatic has a favorite step of their routine—the layer of the ritual that brings them the most joy.   And while I love the tender act of massaging in a dense face cream or slipping on an oil at night, there is nothing I appreciate more than washing my face. Yes, it's a semi-controversial skin care take (as controversial as those can be), but it's true: I love the ritual of cleaning my skin.   But face washes are a deceptively tricky category. For some time, the reigning options were of the strip-your-face variety. (You know the ones: Those sudsy numbers that left you feeling squeaky and dry.)But now, there are so many that experiment with textures, infuse deliciously hydrating actives, and elevate sensorial experiences—and finally, they're getting due attention.  There's no better example of this than the cleansing balm. (Even saying "cleansing balm" feels like slipping into a cashmere sweater.) The subcategory of face washes is marked by their thick, gel-cream texture and hydrating benefits; of course, there are subtle differences between them that make them unique, but that's the throughline.   Now, if all of the above has you thinking you need to get your hands on one, here are our favorites for you to try. Enjoy, won't you? John Masters Organics Cleansing Balm with Kokum Butter and Sea Buckthorn ($36) One of the reasons cleansing balms are so popular is because of their transforming textures. This one starts off as a solid (almost like a butter that you scoop out of the jar), then melts into an oil when applied to the face. As an oil, it's able to break up stubborn makeup on the skin. And for the grand finale? It slips into a milk when blended with water to rinse off your face.

Happy Hands, Part 2: Best Hand Creams In The House And On The Road While rose-scented products generally tend to take too deep a dive into that unmistakable fragrance, Orange & Rose Hand Cream from John Masters Organics relies far more on the skin-restoring properties of the flower than on its scent. In fact, despite containing both rose and palmarosa (an Indian grass with a sweet floral nose), this cream smells nothing like your grandmother’s perfume and provides serious relief to overworked hands.    

Happy Hands, Part 1: The Best Soaps And Sanitizers In The House And On The Road Most Relaxing The triple-milled Face and Body Bar from John Masters Organics draws its powerful moisturizing properties from olive oil and Brazilian cupuaçu seed butter and is enriched with the purifying properties of ylang ylang, rose geranium and lavender essential oils, all of which combine in a surprisingly light floral fragrance as soothing for your mind as for your hands. You can thank the palm and coconut oils for the silky-smooth feeling of your skin afterward.
