Charlize Theron reveals her secret to beautiful hair

Charlize Theron is heralded as one of the world’s most beautiful women; having started her career as a model she has become a highly successful actress with starring roles in movies such as The Devil’s Advocate, Hancock and the award winning Monster.

Now she has revealed the beauty secrets she can’t live without (InStyle magazine October 2009) and one of the most surprising is the ancient Aboriginal remedy called emu oil. 

Many big stars such as Demi Moore, Zac Efron and Jenny McCarthy are also fans of emu oil, using it to keep their skin looking its best due to its anti-aging properties, but Charlie uses it for something else.

Charlize says: “I’m not big into styling products, but I use this Australian oil to moisturise my hair.”

Charlize's use of emu oil isn't just for celebrities however, and the science adds up. Emu oil is a powerful mosituriser, but unlike other oil's it won't clog up your pores as comedogencity tests show it has a score of less than one. Furthermore emu oil is naturally jam packed with essential fatty acids, nutrients vital for healthy skin and hair that help keep hair in peak condition and looking radiant.

There is even evidence to suggest that emu oil can help thicken hair and reverse the effects of hair loss with studies having looked at emu oil's ability to increase skin cell regeneration and hair growth.

In the UK the leading brand of emu oil is the Golden Emu Oil range from the Pioneer Trading Company.

Aside from their straight up oil the Pioneer Trading Company also offer a full Golden Emu Oil hair care range, including shampoos and conditioner.  Now available at shopforhealth.co.uk with prices starting at just £6.80.
