Rare Hair Oil
Now you can luxuriate in the finest all-natural ingredients ever assembled for your hair:
Organic "Live" Olive Oil Imported from Italy
This remarkable oil (the most expensive on the market today) comes from rare olives that grow at exceptionally high altitudes in the Tuscan mountains. The fruits are harvested by hand and cold pressed using a unique "Live Oil" method that keeps the antioxidant polyphenol content remarkably high. This high concentration of antioxidants destroys free radicals (caused by tobacco smoke, alcohol, stress, lack of sleep and pollution) that can damage scalp cell membranes and lead to scalp problems, hair loss and slow growth. When massaged into the scalp, the polyphenols help promote a healthier scalp, faster hair growth and greater hair thickness.

Patent-Pending Triple Refined Emu Oil & Essential Oil Blend
This highest-grade emu oil easily penetrates the scalp taking our hair growth-promoting essential oil blend directly to the hair's root. This is because emu oil is a completely neutral lipid that is not blocked by the human skin's natural defense system.

Once at the root, Emu Oil acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory that stimulates the hair's natural growing ability. Our essential oil combination has been scientifically shown to promote hair growth in test subjects. We use the highest grades essential oils available (some topping $70 an ounce) of organic Thyme Linalol, Rosemary Verbenone, High-Altitude French Lavender and Virginianna Cedarwood.

Organic Saffron imported from Spain
The world's most expensive spice has been used for ages to stimulate hair growth and to give hair an immediate, radiant sheen.

Organic Neroli imported from Tunisia
The very finest Neroli (at $270 an ounce), one of the most coveted and expensive essential oils available, stimulates cell growth and soothes sensitive scalps while imparting a delicate orange blossom scent.

Natural Vitamin E
The highest grade all-natural tocopherol to preserve the product without added chemicals.

*Contains no detergent sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, glycols, solvents, silicones, mineral oil, perfumes, or dyes.

Directions: Emu oil turns semi-solid when cold. This does not affect the potency of the oil. Simply warm bottle under hot water until the oil flows freely. Shake well before using.

  • To stimulate hair growth: Use dropper to apply Rare Hair Oil directly to the scalp, then massage in and let penetrate overnight before washing out.
  • To thicken and strengthen hair: Rub a dropper-full of Rare Hair Oil between your palms and work through hair's length and ends. Braid hair and leave in as long as you like before shampooing.
  • To eliminate frizz and promote ultimate softness and shine: Rub a drop or two of Rare Hair Oil between your palms and gently smooth over dry hair before styling.
  • To eliminate static: Use the dropper to apply several drops to your hairbrush before brushing hair.
  • To detangle: Work a drop or two of Rare Hair Oil through wet hair before combing.

More About Our Ingredients

 

Longhairlovers products are mixed and bottled by hand using the most natural, organic ingredients possible.

We believe in using natural, organic ingredients in our hair care products because the scalp is porous, (it's skin, after all), and it's able to carry ingredients directly to the bloodstream.

You wouldn't eat products with detergent sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals or silicones, and you shouldn't put them on your hair, either.

We've gone one step further and have banned the use of artificial colors and irritating fragrances in our products because they can cause allergic reactions in some people. Instead, we use only natural essential oils in our hair care products, while our Crowning Glory Eau de Parfum contains fragrance oils that are free from phthalates, parabens, detergent sulfates, glycols, petrochemicals, and solvents. Crowning Glory does contain synthetic Musk and Civet, since the real things are cruelly extracted from the Musk Deer and the Civet Cat.

Why we're not vegan

Just like the Native Americans before us, we believe certain animal products can be extremely beneficial to the human race as long as they're created and used with respect. The animal products we use in our hair care include silk amino acids, marine collagen, and fully refined emu oil - all fantastic ingredients for promoting healthy hair growth.

The emu oil we source comes from AEA Certified (American Emu Association) farms. This means the conditions under which the emus live are healthy, clean and spacious. The emus are treated with respect and love by their handlers and we are thankful to them for their miraculous oil.

Fatty Alcohols


We get many questions about two fatty alcohols that appear in our conditioners: cetearyl alcohol and benzyl alcohol. These are not the "drying" alcohols you may think of. Instead, they are lubricants and emollients that help bind water in the hair to prevent frizz and give a soft, velvety texture.

Benzyl Alcohol

Benzyl alcohol is a preservative, it is a derivative of Benzoin a naturally occurring resin from the Styrax benzoin tree. It keeps our products from hosting dangerous bacteria. The preservative is certified by Eco Cert, one of the leading international organic and natural certification agencies which guarantees the respect of the environment during the production process, and also enhances renewable natural substances. The percentage is so low in the product it will not affect humans in an adverse way.

Behentrimonium Methosulfate

We've been asked if this conditioning ingredient is a "sulfate."

Behentrimonium Methosulfate is an exceptionally mild detangling ingredients that is derived from non-genetically modified rapeseed oil. It is not what is commonly referred to as a "bad" sulfate in hair care products. Those sulfates, which include sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, are harsh detergents that are not present in any of our hair care products.

Certifications


The majority of the ingredients we use are certified by one or more of the following entities:
Oregon Tilth Certified Organic
Ecocert Certified Organic
USDA Certified Organic
OQK Certified Kosher
American Emu Association Certified
Transfair Fair Trade Certified

Detangling Combs


Our Detangling Combs are made from Cellulose Acetate, a non-petroleum based material that's actually created from wood pulp, a renewable and biodegradable resource. The material makes a beautiful comb with a deep gloss and high transparency. Cellulose acetate is very tough and resists breaking, yet is smooth and flexible, allowing you to use our detangling combs without hurting your hair or scalp.

Packaging

We use minimal packaging for our products including post-consumer recycled plastic for our shampoo & conditioner bottles. These bottles are also free from Bisphenol A (BPA), a potentially harmful chemical present in some plastics. Our Shea-mu Hair Butter is packaged in recycled glass jars, while our Shea-mu Shampoo Bars, Crystalline Solid Shampoo & Solid Satin Conditioner are packaged and labeled with cellulose acetate, or EarthFirst PLA made with Ingeo, a compostable film created from plants.
