It’s Back to Nature in Caring for Hair
First there was jojoba in the natural hair-care products lines. And now there is awapuhi.
Paul Mitchell, who pioneered sculpting lotion as a replacement for blow dryers, is introducing a shampoo and conditioner in one that is made from the awapuhi plant, which grows wild in Hawaii. He says the people there have used it on their extraordinarily healthy-looking hair for generations and call it shampoo ginger.
After shampooing, Mitchell says, the best way to care for hair is with sculpting lotion (to mold it into place) and a diffuser unit attached to a blow dryer to heat rather than dry the hair with hot blasts of air.
The coming hair style, he says, is “wispy, not a solid, thick-edge bob. And hair will be worn longer because that look hasn’t been in style for some time.â€
Mitchell’s awapuhi products are sold at local hair salons.
