We often hear about the negative impact that too much stress can have on our health, but few often speak about the ways in which stress can pose a serious risk to our strands. Significant amounts of stress can lead to thinning hair, scalp issues, premature greying, and sometimes even hair loss.
Thankfully, relieving your stress can be as easy as incorporating some lavender in your hair routine. Known for its sweet-smelling scent and soothing properties, this natural remedy has been known to aid in hair growth and ensure a cleaner, more healthier scalp, in addition to relaxing your mind.
If you’re looking to add some calming haircare to your routine, here are five of the best lavender-infused hair products on the market.

My weave was very dry after washes, so I decided to purchase this to see if it will moisturize the hair and it did just that. My hair is so nice and soft and fluffy, even when I woke up this morning. I’m very pleased with this product and I will from now on only purchase this conditioner for my hair needs.”

But this oil truly nourished my hair and left my hair super healthy.”
