Here’s Why We Not Only Want To Eat Kale And Acai, But Put It On Our Hair Too

Superfood is a new trend in haircare and it guarantees healthier, shinier locks. Think of it as nutrient-rich smoothies for your tresses.

by Joyce Cheo  /   March 18, 2019

We’re all familiar with the concept of superfood. Packed with nutrients, vitamins and minerals, superfoods can be used to describe and classify any highly nutritious food. And some of the most commonly labelled superfoods include blueberry, salmon, acai and kale. In fact, the superfood phenomenon is so ingrained into us that it’s hard to imagine a trip to the gym without the option of purchasing a superfood smoothie or a superfood juice blend.

And then comes the skincare products, as superfoods found their way into creams and serums that promise us brighter, plumper and smoother skin. Even Sephora has a skin superfoods menu, which details the products that contain these skin-loving food as key ingredients. And so it’s finally time that they are the next big things in haircare.

When bottled into haircare, superfoods are designed to strengthen and nourish the hair shaft for added shine and less breakage, as well as to penetrate the hair follicles to stimulate healthier hair growth. Here, the best superfood-infused hair care products for healthier tresses.
