Why deny hair the same nutrients that a body requires to flourish?
Described as "Mother Nature's recipe for healthy beautiful hair," Sofn'free GroHealthy Milk & Olive contains an unusual medley of milk protein, olive oil and Omega-3 to strengthen, protect and beautify naturally curly hair. The line consists of five new products made specifically for African-American and Latina women, created to address the structural characteristics and needs of curly hair.

The new line's ingredients solve each of the aforementioned concerns. Milk protein contains calcium to strengthen hair and provide light reflective properties; its anti-irritant benefits soothe the scalp without causing build-up on the hair. Olive oil, long known for its ability to add shine and repair damage, also helps to promote a healthy scalp and well-moisturized hair. Omega-
