Highbrow Hippie

Today’s post copy:

We’re excited to welcome Oak Essentials to the Atelier!

Deeply hydrating, naturally effective, and made to work with your skin as it ages — Oak Essentials is a natural fit for our space and the way we think about everyday care.

Stop by the Atelier to explore the full assortment.

As summer travels continue, it’s natural for routines to look a little different.

Circadian rhythms change, sleep becomes less restorative, and travel naturally places more demands on the body. It’s easy for the scalp to become less balanced, making hair feel drier and duller.

Rather than adding more, keep it simple with the Healthy Hair Duo.

Essential Wellbeing Complex provides foundational support, even when daily routines look different, and Root Replenish Active Growth Serum replenishes hydration and reinforces the scalp barrier.

We talk a lot about Red Orange Complex™ as one of the main ingredients in our Essential Wellbeing Complex, and for good reason.

First of all, it’s a great story. This ingredient comes from blood oranges, it’s a clinically tested antioxidant that helps protect hair from UV-induced oxidative stress, the type of sun damage that gradually breaks down hair pigment and causes color to fade over time.

Those same antioxidants benefit the skin too, supporting collagen production and improving hydration, elasticity, radiance, and resilience.

Supported by science, from the inside out. Healthy skin, a healthy scalp, and healthy hair are all connected.

Sometimes perfect days, do in fact, exist. (And make no mistake- not one zoom/meeting was skipped.)

Eyes closing. and heart so full it’s bursting. Xx

Mentions of GLP-1s and hair loss are popping up everywhere, and it’s a conversation I’m having in my chair too.

One of the major contributors to hair loss in women is underlying nutrient deficiency. The appetite suppression that comes with GLP-1s depletes the body faster than most people realize. Iron, fiber, protein - the essentials - are often the first to go, and it shows up in the scalp and hair.

The Essential Wellbeing Complex was formulated to address the root causes of hair loss and hair health long before GLP-1s entered the conversation. But it retroactively meets this moment , and it’s what I recommend to clients navigating hair loss, especially those on GLP-1s.

Health often shows up in the hair first. Pay attention, and be patient with yourself - the last thing any of us needs is more stress.

Celebrating another turn around the sun, in my island home (with my favourite lil guy;)).

I honestly can’t believe it’s number 48, because in some ways it feels like I’m just getting started. And, though to say this past year was tough is an understatement, I live in perpetual gratitude of the life that I’ve built, of the company we are building, the clients that I serve, and the customers that we help.

I love it all so much I could weep at the journey.

The life of an immigrant is not an easy one, but wow, is it rich in all the right ways. I’m so proud of this story. Sending love, from JA. -kadi

This summer’s essentials have been less about styling and more about maintaining the foundation healthy hair depends on.

Supporting the scalp after sun exposure with the Root Replenish Active Growth Serum.

Replenishing hydration after saltwater and chlorine with the Instant Silk Vitality Mask.

Staying consistent with daily wellness from within with the Essential Wellbeing Complex.

This summer, Highbrow Hippie isn’t about doing more.

It’s about giving your hair what it needs before it starts asking for it.

Fresh fruit and vegetables have re-entered the chat🙌🏾. (Can’t have healthy hair without ‘em.)

Reunited with my people, AND marked safe from Cyclospora for the next two weeks?!?
Happy days, indeed.

No extra effort needed.

Sometimes a change in scenery is needed.

Our Root Replenish Active Growth Serum has become a familiar travel companion this summer.

Packed alongside essentials, for long weekends, beach days, and flights.

A change in routine, and schedule doesn’t change what the scalp needs.
