What Holistic Hair product are you most proud of and why?
It’s quite hard to choose because the range itself has so many exceptional products, each designed with a unique purpose in mind. However, if I had to pick, I’d say I’m equally proud of our Quinoa Pro Colour Protect Shampoo & Conditioner Duo and our Essential Scalp Spray. These products truly embody everything Holistic Hair stands for—effective, plant-based solutions that promote scalp and hair health while staying true to our commitment to sustainability and ethics.
The Quinoa Pro Colour Protect Duo is designed specifically for colour-treated hair, offering both protection and nourishment. The shampoo is enriched with quinoa protein, known for its ability to strengthen and repair hair, and it gently cleanses without stripping colour. The conditioner further enhances this by providing moisture and smoothness, thanks to the inclusion of crambisol and the mango and murumuru butters, which also help to protect and hydrate the hair. This duo works synergistically to maintain the vibrancy of colour-treated hair, ensuring it remains strong, healthy, and radiant. We’re proud to say that the Quinoa Pro duo has won awards and been recognized for its ability to deliver long-lasting colour protection and hair care without compromise.
Then there’s the Essential Scalp Spray, which I’m equally proud of and has also won awards. This product was developed with the understanding that scalp health is just as important as hair health. It’s packed with botanical extracts, including rosemary, bergamot and neroli oils, which are known for their hair growth stimulating properties. The Essential Scalp Spray also helps to refresh and balance the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth by improving circulation and maintaining a clean, healthy scalp environment. It’s a perfect example of our holistic approach—addressing the root cause of hair health and ensuring long-term benefits.
Both of these products align perfectly with our ethos of combining nature with science. We prioritise plant-based ingredients that are backed by scientific research, ensuring both effectiveness and safety. Our commitment to sustainability is also reflected in their packaging—both the Quinoa Pro duo and the Essential Scalp Spray come in 100% recycled PET1 plastic, helping to reduce our environmental footprint.
Tell us about the Salt of the Earth spray – what can we expect?
The Salt of the Earth Volumising & Texturising Spray is a truly innovative blend of natural ingredients and advanced formulation, designed to elevate your styling routine while caring for your hair. It’s not just about creating volume and texture—this spray offers a versatile, buildable approach to styling, delivering results that feel as good as they look.
At its core, this spray harnesses the power of natural salts, including magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) and Himalayan pink salt, to deliver lift and body. Kalahari melon oil provides essential hydration, ensuring your hair stays soft and nourished, even with regular use. Apple cider vinegar helps balance the scalp’s pH, supporting overall scalp health and harmony. Lavender, cedarwood, orange, and lime essential oils infuse the formula with a refreshing scent, elevating the sensory experience.
What makes this spray particularly special is its dual role as a texturiser and a fixative. Its lightweight, buildable formula allows you to customise your styling. A light application enhances movement and definition, while layering more builds hold, offering structure and control. This flexibility means you can tailor your look to suit any occasion, from soft waves to a firm, polished style.
To get the best results, we recommend experimenting with the amount and application technique to suit your hair type and texture. Start with less—our “less is more” philosophy ensures that a light touch brings out the best in your hair’s natural shape and hydration. Gradually build up as needed for added hold and definition. Whether you scrunch it into damp hair for waves or mist it over dry hair for volume and hold, this spray adapts seamlessly to your styling needs.
What hair types is the Salt of the Earth spray best suited for?
The Salt of the Earth Volumising & Texturising Spray is designed to suit a wide range of hair types and textures, making it a versatile addition to any styling routine. Its lightweight formula is particularly effective for fine to medium hair, creating root lift, volume, and body without weighing the strands down. For straight or wavy hair, it enhances texture and delivers a natural, tousled look.
For curly hair, this spray works to define and refresh curls, providing soft hold while accentuating their natural shape. The buildable nature of the formula allows you to customise styling and hold, catering to the unique needs of different hair textures.
Do you have any tips when applying this product?
For the best results with the Salt of the Earth Volumising & Texturising Spray, you can apply it to both damp or dry hair. Hold the spray about 6–8 inches away from your hair and mist it evenly through the mid-lengths and ends. If you're looking for added volume, focus on the roots, lifting sections of your hair as you apply.
For a natural, textured look, start with a light application—remember, less is more! If you want more hold and definition, layer on more product. For straight or wavy hair, scrunching with your hands after application will enhance the texture. For curly hair, use a diffuser to help define curls while maintaining a soft hold.
Feel free to experiment with the amount and technique to suit your hair type and desired style. The spray is versatile and buildable, so you can tailor it to your specific needs.
What are your 3 tips for a healthy glow?
Achieving a healthy glow comes from nurturing your mind, body, and hair. Here are three holistic tips to help you shine:
1. Nourish from within – A balanced diet is essential for supporting your skin and hair’s natural radiance. Include foods rich in vitamins, antioxidants, protein, minerals, and healthy fats, such as leafy greens, berries, salmon, eggs, and nuts. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water also helps keep your skin glowing and healthy.
2. Care for your skin, scalp & hair – Healthy skin, scalp, and hair are all connected. Nourish your scalp and skin with natural, chemical-free products that help maintain balance and nourishment. These products support a healthy scalp environment, enhance skin hydration, and ensure your hair remains strong, shiny, and full of life. Healthy skin and hair naturally complement each other, enhancing your overall glow.
3. Mindfulness & self-care – Stress can take a toll on your skin and hair, so prioritising mental well-being is key. Practices like meditation, deep breathing, or spending time outdoors can help reduce stress, giving you a more radiant complexion. Don’t forget the importance of sleep—rest is crucial for maintaining a healthy glow.
