Healthy hair starts with a solid foundation, which includes using products that are fortified with natural ingredients such as COMFREY. Comfrey is a beautiful flowering plant and has been used in Chinese and Greek cultures for centuries for medicinal purposes to treat broken bones, relieve sprains, strains, and muscle tears. Comfrey is also excellent for your hair and skin, and when used in Uncle Funky’s Daughter products, it creates wonderful results. This healing herb is packed full of minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals — which are powerful antioxidants — that have various benefits for your hair.
Benefits of Comfrey:
- Restores sheen and adds volume while nourishing and conditioning your hair
- Helps to reverse hair loss
- Provides moisture to your hair and helps to fight dandruff
- Treats skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema
- Promotes cell regeneration which stimulates hair growth
- Bonus Tip: The natural presence of allantoin and tannin in comfrey helps to remove unwanted blemishes!
Comfrey also contains rosemarinic acid and mucilage which support the plant’s anti-inflammatory properties. Rosemarinic acid is extremely beneficial to the hair for its anti-carcinogenic, antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities.
Mucilage, a plant protein, is also great for the hair as it helps relax the hair, making it softer and easier to detangle. Mucilage is also a great foaming agent, and is the reason for the nice lather you get when shampooing with Rich & Funky Moisturizing Shampoo and Squeaky Clarifying Cleanser.
Comfrey is also a key ingredient in our Richee Rich Moisturizing Conditioner and Midnite Train Leave-in Conditioner.
So get on that healthy hair train by adding a bit of comfrey to your natural hair regimen!
