Sienna Naturals | Clean Care For Textured Hair
First things first, good hair is synonymous with healthy hair. Let’s just get that out of the way.
Not only do Black women deserve to hear that clarification, but we also deserve products FOR our good hair that are also good for the planet and made of ingredients are good FOR us.
Because who says we can’t have it all?
Sienna Naturals sure thinks that we can.
And they are here to prove it.
Even Issa Rae says so.
Hannah Diop created Sienna Naturals because she was raised to understand that while it’s important to our health to pay attention to what we are putting in our body, we also need to be paying attention to how that extends into our personal care regime.
And it’s important that we know that natural products do not have to mean that Black women are automatically excluded. It’s also important to know that products can be natural and inclusive of all our versatile hairstyles.
Sienna Naturals agrees in what we are constantly saying here at Clean Beauty for Black Girls
“Once you know better, you can do better.”
Mother Earth is the plug and she loves us. It’s because of her power, that Sienna Naturals has made the intentional decision to choose our health and these powerhouse natural ingredients:
Baobab Oil to moisturize and fertilize our scalp and hair.
Blue Tansy Oil for repairing and rejuvenating the scalp.
Shea Esters for lasting hydration.
Coconut Oil to balance and nourish our scalp.
Castor Oil to promote hair growth and strong hair.
Sebacic Acid for smoothing and protection.
One of my favorite things about Sienna Naturals is their ingredient promise. Such dedication to our health is so crucial while we face the fact that 75% of products marketed to Black women scored medium to high in potentially hazardous ingredients in a study done by the EWG.
Sienna Naturals promises to avoid the use of the following ingredients:
Sulfates - causes follicle stress, lung irritation, and cancer
Parabens - responsible for hormone disruption and breast cancer
Silicones - causes congestion and interference with cell renewal
Phthalates - associated with liver and kidney damage
Petroleum - is carcinogenic and is linked to respiratory issues
Mineral Oil - has a connection to cancer
Formaldehyde - linked to cancer and reproductive toxicity
Artificial Fragrance - associated with cancer and reproductive toxicity
Two products from Sienna Naturals that I have come to love - and will never run out of now that I’ve found them - are the Plant Power Repair Mask and the Curl Elixir.
The mask is for all hair textures and will help your hair rehydrate, while preventing future breakage by boosting your hair’s natural vibrancy. Bonus: the tansy oil is soothing on the scalp.
The elixir is for all all textures and styles (hello to the Black Girl Magic support of our versatility). The elixir will increase your hair’s elasticity and bind in moisture.
If you haven’t tried them yet, I suggest you run - don’t walk.
