You know the ads where an actress/singer/model/all three, is bounding around shaking a long silky mane and saying something about nature/organic/being worth it? I have often wondered a) how many natural ingredients are in the shampoo that makes Sarah Jessica Parker’s hair look like a chocolate fountain and b) if there are any at all.

That’s the thing with the buzz word ‘natural’ – you never quite know if the picture of the avocado on the shampoo bottle is entirely accurate, or even a remotely significant portion of the overall potion.

New Australian brand, Natralia Nourish Hair Care, is chock full of all that is good and natural. Really. I may not have video proof of me swishing my long, silken mane around whilst extolling the virtues of arvacardo oil (I can whip something up for you if you’d like) but having used the shampoo and conditioner I can tell you with utmost confidence this is a product that deserves the ‘natural’ label and accompanying buzz.

The range extends to include includes products for normal, oily,  dry and coloured hair, as well as a second range for specific hair colours, all bases are covered no matter your hair type and no matter its needs. As well as roping in the most potent of Nature’s beauty weapons, the range is gentle and helps with those pesky scalp problems. Your hair is left feeling thicker, softer and healthier – nourished the natural way.

The Range …

About Olivia Hambrett

Liv Hambrett is the Editor in Chief of Trespass. She has a weakness for the Scandinavian pop scene, doughnuts, and escapism (among many other things). She routinely pours cups of tea and forgets about them, buys international glossy magazines even though they highlight her fashion, fiscal and physical shortcomings and has lost count of how many perfumes she owns. This doesn't stop her from buying more. One day, she will write a bestselling book, turn it into an award winning screenplay, and retire to a villa (or yacht, she's not fussy) in the Mediterranean, to live out the rest of her days in sundrenched peace. If you lose her, look under a pile of books, scrap paper and empty tea cups, or check her bank statements for any recent, rash plane-ticket purchases. Don't try and call her, she's probably lost her phone.
