In the Orient, particularly in China and Japan, hair is considered a reflection of one's inner health. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views hair as an extension of the blood and vital essence, promoting the use of herbs like ginseng and He Shou Wu to nourish the scalp and hair roots. In Japan, the use of rice water has been a long-standing tradition, believed to strengthen and improve hair elasticity due to its rich content of amino acids and vitamins. These practices highlight the importance of internal health and nutrition in achieving and maintaining beautiful hair.

Native American tribes have long utilized the natural resources around them to care for their hair. Ingredients like yucca root, which acts as a natural cleanser and conditioner, and jojoba oil, known for its moisturizing properties, have been integral to their hair care routines. These natural elements not only cleanse and condition but also protect the hair from environmental damage. The holistic approach of Native American hair care, focusing on harmony with nature, resonates with modern trends towards sustainable and eco-friendly beauty practices.
