Religious believes in Hindu religion believe sacrificing hair is a sign of devotion. Daily pilgrimages to temples such as the Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala, India, where they shave/tonsure their heads in a ritual of devotion. In Asian communities’ women donate their ponytails for a fair value, the hair is willingly donated and cut at the ponytail, leaving the donor with a bob length hair style.

Beauty Works Anti-Yellow Shampoo or Beauty Works Brass Banish Mask can neutralise yellow & brassy tones to reduce the appearance of discolouration, whilst giving shine to dull hair. Do not leave on the hair for any more than 2/5 minutes maximum. If leaving on your hair for longer than the advised time, the results can have a purple staining.
When should I use a Clarifying Shampoo?
Think of clarifying shampoos as shampoos to cut through product build-up and oils to leave your hair squeaky clean. There are lots of reasons why hair can look sad and lifeless, too much heat styling and even residue from normal shampoos and conditioners, all of which can cling to hair and scalp, making your freshly-washed hair seem heavy. Use a clarifying shampoo to cleanse hair monthly if you have normal hair, or weekly if you have greasy hair.
Do you test your products on Animals?
No, we strictly do not test any of our aftercare on animals. All Aftercare products are manufactured in Europe which Testing cosmetic products and their ingredients on animals was banned across the EU in 2013. The legislation is part of EU Regulation (Cosmetics Regulation). All Beauty Works Aftercare are produced in Italy.
Are your products Vegan friendly?
Within our hair care collection, we have vegan ranges. This means these products are completely free from animal delivered ingredients and are plant-based.
Do your products contain Sulphates?
Yes, certain lines contain sulphates, sulphates are used in shampoo. The purpose of these sulphates is to create a lathering effect to remove oil and dirt from your hair
Are Sulphates bad for me?
This will be determined by your hair type, you may want to avoid sulphates if you have dry or fine hair. These hair types are more fragile, and the effects of sulphate shampoo can strip out too much of the natural oils needed to keep your strands healthy.
