Orchids Oil by White Sands (3 oz, $20) is the first hair care product to utilize the immortality, beauty, and vibrancy of nature's Orchids, the company says. Orchids is a unique oil that instantly restores inner balance to the hair and scalp, while creating shine and adding natural moisture to tired, stressed tresses. The orchid is immortal since its cell membranes contain a longevity molecule (i.e. cell membranes do not deteriorate with time). With only a 3-4 year lifespan for each hair strand, Orchids will make hair reach its best state with unsurpassed elasticity and longevity. This immortality, in return, will intensify and improve the integrity of hair allowing tresses to "live" in the best cuticle condition during its lifetime.
