Alterna Hemp

While hemp has been used as a beauty ingredient for years, Alterna takes this technology to the next level by blending hemp with certified organic botanicals for a line of products that strengthens and protects your hair. Hemp seed oil is full of lipid-rich essential fatty acids, which moisturize the hair and keep it strong.

• Alterna Hemp with Organics Repair Shampoo is an ideal first step for dull, dehydrated hair. This sulfate-free formula is gentle enough to use daily and effectively cleanses the hair while adding protein and moisture. This shampoo is perfect for both color-treated and damaged hair.
• Alterna Hemp with Organics Shine Conditioner is a gentle strengthening conditioner that helps to repair dull, lifeless hair. Organic botanicals protect the hair and keep color from fading. With consistent use, the hair becomes shinier and more manageable.

Alterna Life

Unique hair types need unique solutions, which is why Alterna Life offers two distinct lines: fine hair and curly hair. These hair-specific systems combine the traditions of eastern medicine with the best of western technology.

• Fine, thinning hair: As hair ages, not only does it begin to lose volume, but it can become dry and lackluster. Alterna Life Solutions Volume Restore Duo contains a sulfate-free shampoo and creamy conditioner that work together to promote volume and combat hair loss.
• Curly hair: Having trouble finding a product that leaves you with bouncy, natural-looking curls without the stiff, crunchy feeling that most gels and creams create? Alterna Life Curls Shape Activator defines both curly and wavy hair. This glossy product is formulated with micro proteins and micro silicones to strengthen hair while eliminating frizz. You get defined, controlled curls that are still shiny and flexible.

Alterna Caviar

Seeing the signs of aging on your hair can be frustrating, especially when most anti-aging products target the skin. The Alterna Caviar product line offers advanced products that contain energizing anti-aging nutrients to reduce damage created by daily stressors, leaving you with youthful-looking hair.

• Alterna Caviar Anti Aging Volume Shampoo and Conditioner Duo combines polymers and resins to create weightless volume. Moisturizers leave hair soft and vibrant. The sulfate-free cleanser and daily conditioner contain photozyme complexes, which keep hair color from fading and reduce the signs of aging.
• Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Hair Masque is a top of the line revitalizing masque, formulated with Seasilk^®, Age-Control Complex^™ and Color Hold^™. Use weekly after shampooing and conditioning to protect color and leave hair shiny and radiant.

Alterna TEN

Also known as "The Science of TEN^™", this is an advanced product line that combines 10 key elements from around the world to leave the hair balanced and healthy.

• Alterna TEN Hair Spray is an ideal alternative to traditional hairsprays that leave the hair feeling sticky and stiff. It not only lasts all day long, but you can even brush your hair throughout the day and change your style. Anti-humectants ensure protection against humidity, while hair is also protected from sun damage.
• Alterna TEN Hair Masque is a concentrated masque that instantly repairs and hydrates all hair types. The advanced hydrating property can absorb a thousand times its weight in water. The result? Instantly soft and renewed hair.

Alterna Luxury

Alterna Luxury products are formulated with vitamin B in the form of White Truffle Extract. These vitamins strengthen the hair, prevent breakage and combat split ends.

• Alterna White Truffle Luxury Shampoo is formulated with European White Truffle Oil, Sea Caviar Extract and Mediterranean Arnica Flower. This shampoo provides full-spectrum UV protection, while infusing the hair with moisture, elasticity and shine. It also prevents hair from being stripped of its natural moisturizers.
• Alterna White Truffle Luxury Conditioner contains Champagne Grape Seed Oil from France, Caspian Sea Caviar Extract and Mediterranean Arnica Flower to condition the hair without leaving build-up — resulting in shiny, healthy-looking locks. Plus, the hydro-thermally activated system uses warm water to seal in moisture.
