At John Masters Organics, we believe that what you put on your body is as important as what you put in it. As the season shifts and farmers markets brim with the earth’s freshest offerings, we’re reminded of the importance of nourishing our bodies—inside and out. Just like the farm-fresh produce you find locally, the organic ingredients in our hair care products are hand-selected and harvested at peak season to deliver the best nature has to offer. Here’s how you can harness the power of seasonal ingredients for healthier, more radiant hair this fall. 1. The Power of Seasonal Ingredients Nature knows best. By aligning our hair care with the rhythm of the seasons, we tap into the freshest, most nutrient-dense elements that nourish from root to tip. At John Masters Organics, our formulas feature seasonal ingredients like rosemary, lavender, and apricot—organically grown and sustainably harvested—to give your hair the essential nutrients it craves during the cooler months. Why Seasonal Ingredients Matter: Freshly harvested ingredients retain higher levels of nutrients and potency, delivering superior benefits for your hair’s health and vitality. 2. Harvested Oils for Hydration: Argan & Tea Tree As the air grows cooler, hydrating your hair becomes even more crucial. Just like the freshly pressed oils at your local market, our 100% Argan Oil and Scalp Exfoliating Scrub with Sugar Cane & Tea Tree Oil utilize ingredients that are sourced from organic farms and deliver nourishment straight from nature. Argan oil is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids that protect and hydrate, while Tea Tree helps to balance the scalp and lock in moisture. Pro Tip: Use a few drops of argan oil to smooth frizz and restore shine to dry, dull strands—ideal for windy fall days. 3. Rosemary for Revitalization Rosemary is more than just an aromatic herb from your local farmers market; it’s a powerful ingredient for hair health. Known for its stimulating properties, rosemary promotes circulation in the scalp, encouraging healthy hair growth. It’s one of the key ingredients in our Volumizing Shampoo with Rosemary & Peppermint, designed to refresh and energize the scalp while strengthening each strand. Did You Know?: Our rosemary is sourced from organic farms to ensure it delivers maximum benefits, helping to nourish and protect your hair during the seasonal transition. 4. Soothing with Lavender Lavender fields bloom late into the summer, making fall the perfect time to reap the soothing benefits of this calming flower. Lavender not only smells divine but also helps to balance and hydrate your scalp. Our Deep Moisturizing Conditioner with Lavender & Avocado combines the calming properties of organic lavender with nutrient-dense avocado oil to deeply condition and restore moisture, leaving your hair soft and hydrated as the cooler air sets in. How to Use: Apply from mid-lengths to ends after shampooing, leaving it in for 2–3 minutes for a deeply moisturizing treatment that calms both your scalp and senses. 5. Strength from Soy & Wheat Proteins As your hair recovers from summer’s sun and prepares for fall’s dry air, strengthening ingredients are key. Plant-based proteins, like soy and wheat, are harvested and blended into our NEW Repair Shampoo with Honey & Hibiscus to help repair damage, restore elasticity, and protect your hair’s structure. This restorative formula uses organic honey and hibiscus to rebuild hair from within, making it a perfect companion for your fall hair care routine. How It Works: Honey locks in moisture while hibiscus strengthens the hair shaft, creating a protective barrier against seasonal stressors like cold air and wind.

1. Choose Organic Ingredients for Healthier Hair When it comes to hair care, choosing products with organic ingredients can make a huge difference. Organic ingredients nourish your hair without exposing it to harsh chemicals like sulfates and parabens. At John Masters Organics, our Volumizing Shampoo with Rosemary & Peppermint is formulated with organic rosemary and peppermint to stimulate the scalp and encourage hair growth. Key Benefits: No sulfates, promotes scalp health, reduces hair breakage. 2. Nourish Your Scalp for Thicker Hair A healthy scalp is essential for thicker, fuller hair. Regular scalp massages can improve circulation, promoting hair growth. Pairing a scalp massage with a natural oil, like our 100% Argan Oil, deeply nourishes the scalp while balancing moisture. Pro Tip: Massage with a few drops of argan oil before shampooing for best results. 3. Hydrate to Prevent Hair Thinning Dehydration can lead to hair thinning and breakage. Using a lightweight, hydrating conditioner, like our Daily Nourishing Conditioner with Citrus & Neroli, can add moisture without weighing down fine hair. Did You Know: Our detangler is silicone-free, ensuring your hair stays light, bouncy, and full of volume. 4. Protect Your Hair from Environmental Damage Pollution and UV rays can strip your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and damage. Using a natural leave-in conditioner like our Leave-In Conditioning Mist with Green Tea & Calendula provides protection from environmental aggressors while nourishing your hair. Bonus: This mist also adds a subtle shine and controls frizz throughout the day. 5. Volumize Naturally with Styling Products Many conventional volumizing products use harsh chemicals that can damage your hair over time. Instead, opt for natural alternatives like our Volumizing Foam with Quinoa & Acacia Gum, which lifts the roots and adds body without compromising your hair's health. How to Use: Apply to damp hair and blow-dry for instant volume and lift. Healthy, fuller hair starts with the right products and habits. By incorporating organic, natural hair care solutions from John Masters Organics, you can protect and nurture your hair for long-term health and beauty.

The 19 Best Sea Salt Sprays for Vacation Hair at Home Written by: Gabrielle Ulubay www.marieclaire.com   There is nothing better than post-ocean dip hair. The good news: styling products can help you achieve the easy, breezy look you desire. The best sea salt sprays give the ultimate assist for easy air-dried waves a la a beach vacation. But what is sea salt spray, exactly? "Sea salt spray is a product that, when added to the hair, will mimic the effects of spending the day at the beach with a tousled, textured look," says hairstylist and founder of Hair Addict Salon Michelle Cleveland. "The salt-and-water-based formulas manage this by adding a little grit, clumping your strands together so your natural texture is magnified. Wavy hair looks wavier, and even straight hair takes on a bit more definition." Trying a bad sea salt spray can be enough to entirely turn you off the product. The feeling of straw-like hair is unforgettable. But the options we've laid out below? These are the good ones—we made sure of it. Ahead, editors and experts share their picks for the best sea salt sprays on the market (no straw-like strands here!), plus our honest reviews. Best Organic Sea Salt Spray: John Masters Organics Sea Mist Spray with Sea Salt and Lavender This USDA-certified organic sea mist incorporates lavender and aloe vera to combat any dryness caused by its organic sea salt. The sodium chloride itself adds texture, grit, and volume, closely mimicking the effects of a day spent at the beach. This formula also absorbs excess oil accumulated in between washes (a godsend for those with greasy hair). It has a near-perfect online rating and is especially beloved for its minimal ingredient list, "heavenly" smell, and the flattering effect it has on curly hair. Size: 4.2 fluid ounces Pros: Organic; Great for curly and voluminous hair; Nice smell; Contains hydrating aloe vera Cons: Too much can make hair sticky; Medium lift, so not as suited for those looking for intense volume

The Best Shampoos to Care for Gray and Silver Hair Colors Written by: Nadine Jolie Courtney and Nicole Pearl Kaplan www.oprahdaily.com That gorgeous gray hair you see in shampoo commercials or on Meryl Streep’s legendary character in The Devil Wears Prada is hardly effortless. “Gray hair can be dry and dingy—or it can be shiny and sophisticated,” says celebrity colorist Beth Minardi. Achieving the latter requires your TLC. Why? As your hair follicles age, they produce less sebum, which leads to drier strands. “The other key issue here is that gray and white hair is like a white blanket—everything shows,” she explains. Hair accumulates things like polluted particles, hard water deposits, and remnants of styling products. And, over time, these things can make white or gray hair turn an unsightly shade of yellow. To minimize those unwanted yellow tones caused by buildup, you should be gently but thoroughly cleansing your natural gray (or freshly dyed silver strands) to remove—and further prevent—any yellowing and to boost shine. What to consider The first step is to look for a hydrating, color-depositing shampoo in a purple shade. “The color purple helps to neutralize yellow tones to keep your hair looking brighter and whiter,” says celebrity colorist Nikki Ferrara, owner of Nikki Ferrara Hair Color in New York City. Whether you’re dyeing your hair silver or you’ve been embracing your grey style for years, both Minardi and Ferrara say you’ll get the best results if you use your color-depositing shampoo specifically formulated for white and gray hair once or twice a week. Massage your scalp as you lather. If you want to wash your hair more frequently, reach for a gentle, moisturizing, sulfate-free formula on the other days. Also, consider upgrading your shower head to one that contains a water filter; this can remove color-affecting minerals, like copper. It's especially helpful if you have hard water, says Ferrara. If you don't want or need to brighten your color, then look for a non-tinted shampoo made for gray and white hair; this formula will be especially hydrating for gray strands' more coarse and sometimes wiry texture. Best Sulfate-Free Shampoo for Grey Hair: John Masters Daily Nourishing Shampoo with Citrus and Geranium This sulfate-free shampoo cleanses, moisturizes, and balances hair, which makes it ideal for a dry scalp and gray locks. The color-safe formula suds into a satisfying lather and delivers soothing French lavender and purifying rosemary oil to add shine. One reviewer said, "I bought this particular shampoo for the first time and absolutely love it. My hair feels clean and it is not dry or drab looking. The smell is nice, not overpowering. It rinses well and blow drying is a breeze."
