go nuts
L
ike a Snickers bar, the latest hair products really satisfy. They, too, are packed with nuts, which ?are said to moisturize, boost shine, and even repair overprocessed strands. Bumble & Bumble Creme de Coco Shampoo softens hair with coconut and leaves it smelling like a pina colada. The palm-nut oil in Ojon Revitalizing Mist controls thick curls without weighing them down. And Pureology Nanoworks Restorative Hair Treatment is a weekly remedy enriched with pistachio butter. All nut oils are beneficial due to their intense moisturizing properties,I says cosmetics chemist ?R. Randall Wickett, but they canit repair hair.I One other caveat: Avoid the ?stuff if youire allergic. If the oils contain enough proteins and manage to ?seep into abrasions on the scalp, they may trigger a reaction,I says Marianne Frieri, an allergist/immunologist at Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow, New York.
