How to Protect Your Hair from City Pollution
Quick answer: Smog, smoke and fine dust settle on the scalp every day, causing irritation and leaving hair heavy, flat and dull. An anti-pollution routine with moringa — a plant extract that captures toxins and microparticles — cleanses them away and protects the hair. Philip Martin's Moringa Family covers it in up to three steps.
How does pollution damage hair?
City air carries smoke, exhaust and fine particles that stick to the scalp and hair fibre. The result is an irritated scalp and hair that loses volume, gets greasy faster and looks dull. In winter, cold air stresses the hair even more, so protection matters most in the colder months.
Why moringa?
Moringa oleifera is a plant native to India. Its extract is emollient, antioxidant and moisturising. It is also known as a "smog catcher": it binds toxins and helps wash microparticles away. The Moringa Family line uses it in high concentration.
The anti-pollution routine
- Cleanse — Moringa Wash. Massage a small amount into a wet scalp with circular movements, then rinse. Moringa with organic aloe and organic wild pansy removes smog and toxins and acts like a shield.
- Moisturise — Moringa Rinse. On towel-dried hair, apply to the lengths, leave for a few minutes and rinse. It hydrates, disciplines and protects hair from pollution.
- Define (curls only) — Moringa Curl. Work the gel through damp lengths and style as usual. It shapes soft, natural curls, seals the hair fibre and keeps frizz down in humid weather.
Which steps for your hair type?
| Hair type | Routine | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Wavy or curly | Moringa Wash + Moringa Rinse + Moringa Curl | Deep hydration, elasticity, defined curls, less frizz |
| Fine or thin | Moringa Wash + Moringa Rinse | Clean, light hair with volume and shine, without weighing it down |
