Monitor Hair Moisture

Wheat Protein

Water soluble protein derived from whole wheat, it penetrates the cortex of each hair strand. Wheat protein strengthens and moisturizes hair, increasing the ability for hair to receive and maintain moisture.

Hair Composition

Natural hair is made up of tough fibrous proteins called keratin.  Hair is composed of approximately 91% protein, which is made up of long chain amino acids. The amino acids are made up of: sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon; these building blocks are then joined together by peptide bonds. It is very important for hair to have a healthy combination of protein and moisture. 

Hair Care with Wheat Protein

Wheat Protein greatly increases the hair’s ability to retain moisture, while increasing the appearance of shine and gloss.  Due to its low molecular weight, it easily penetrates the hair shaft adding protein, reduces porosity, and improves hair manageability, while creating luster and smoothness.   

Summer Hair Care

By using Sister Sky Indian Hyacinth Shampoo, with WHEAT PROTEIN, you will be adding protein to your hair while reducing porosity, improving manageability and creating luster and smoothness.   Order a bottle today.

Hair Car Tip:  DO NOT shampoo hair every day (unless your hair is extremely oily), rest hair a day or two between shampoo washes.  Lathering up daily strips hair of important, healthy oils causing hair to break-off over time.  Between shampoo washes rinse hair with warm water, apply a conditioner to hair, leave in a few minutes, comb hair beginning at bottom working upwards with a wide-tooth comb, then rinse out.  Try-it! 

Beware Summer Hair

SUMMER Hair Care

 

The stuff which makes summer fun – the sun and water - is hard on your hair. Dry hair, fizzy hair and even "green" hair can result from summer damage.  Take charge - it doesn't have to be that way!  

 Be proactive in your summer hair care regime by using Sister Sky Indian Hyacinth Conditioner, containing the protective ingredient Pro-Vitamin B5.  

Hair which is healthy moisturized and in good condition is less prone to breakage and heat damage.  Pro Vitamin B5 functions as a Humectant which increases the water content of hair improving elasticity while decreasing breakage.  

 Whether you'll be at the beach in the salt air, taking a dip in the pool or just sitting around the campfire, Sister Sky can help protect your beautiful locks against the summer sun with Indian Hyacinth Conditioner containing Pro Vitamin B5.  

Hair Tip:  wet hair before going into the water, apply Indian Hyacinth Conditioner containing Pro Vitamin B5 as a leave-in-conditioner until you are done with your daily summer fun!

Indian Hyacinth

Lewis and Clark wrote elegantly about the Blue Camas Flower

The beautiful - Blue Camas

on their return journey home, as they camp at Weippe Prairie, Idaho, on Jim Ford Creek near the Clearwater River, Idaho.


See quote below from William Clark, circa 1806.  






"... the quawmash is now in blume at a Short distance it resemhles a lake of fine clear water, So complete is this deseption that on first Sight I could have Sworn it was water. ..."
[Clark, June 12, 1806, at Weippe Prairie, Idaho]

8 Winter Skin Care Tips

As soon as you turn the heat on indoors, the skin starts to dry out, It doesn't matter if you heat your home using oil, wood, or electricity. The skin gets dry!

1. No Need for High End Product

Inexpensive products work just as well as high-end ones, says David Voron, MD, a dermatologist in Arcadia, Calif. "In fact, the extra price you pay for the expensive stuff is often just for packaging and marketing. What's most important is how your skin responds to the product -- and how you like its feel, not how much money you paid for it."

2. Moisturize More

Find a moisturizer that's oil-based, rather than water-based, as the oil will create a protective layer on the skin that retains more moisture.  Choose your oils with care because not all oils are appropriate for the face. Instead, look for "nonclogging" oils, like avocado oil, primrose oil, or almond oil. You can also look for lotions containing "humectants," a class of substances (including glycerine, sorbitol, and alpha-hydroxy acids) that attract moisture to your skin.

3. Give Your Hands a Hand

The skin on your hands is thinner than on most parts of the body and has fewer oil glands. That means it's harder to keep your hands moist, especially in cold, dry weather. This can lead to itchiness and cracking. Wear gloves when you go outside; if you need to wear wool to keep your hands warm, slip on a thin cotton glove first, to avoid any irritation the wool might cause.

4. Avoid Wet Gloves and Socks

Wet socks and gloves can irritate your skin and cause itching, cracking, sores, or even a flare-up of eczema.

5. Hook Up the Humidifier

Central heating systems (as well as space heaters) blast hot dry air throughout our homes and offices. Humidifiers get more moisture in the air, which helps prevent your skin from drying out. Place several small humidifiers throughout your home; they help disperse the moisture more evenly.

6. Hydrate for Your Health, Not for Your Skin

Water is good for your overall health.  Water helps your entire body maintain proper hydration - which is the opposite of dehydration (dry skin).  Hot herbal tea is an option to choose during the cold winter months.

7. Grease Up Your Feet

Yes, those minty foot lotions are lovely in the hot summer months, but during the winter, your feet need stronger stuff. Try finding lotions that contain natural oil or glycerine, and use exfoliants to get the dead skin off periodically; that helps any moisturizers you use to sink in faster and deeper.

8. Ban Superhot Baths

Sure, soaking in a burning-hot bath feels great after frolicking out in the cold. But the intense heat of a hot shower or bath actually breaks down the lipid barriers in the skin, which can lead to a loss of moisture. A lukewarm bath with oatmeal or baking soda, can help relieve skin that is so dry it has become itchy.

Happy Hydrated Holidays!  - Marina
