Why Sugarcane Is Your Hair's New Best Friend
Learn how natural sugarcane extract (and Lev Sweet Date Shampoo) moisturize, strengthen and add shine to every strand.
Sugarcane is more than a sweet treat — it's a gentle, nutrient-rich hair ally. Packed with moisture, vitamins and minerals, sugarcane extract helps detangle, condition and nourish hair from root to tip. Lev Sweet Date Shampoo harnesses these natural benefits to give you softer, shinier, healthier-looking hair with every wash.
What's inside sugarcane that helps hair?
Sugarcane extract contains natural humectants and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) such as glycolic acid, plus vitamins A, C and several B vitamins, as well as minerals like zinc, magnesium and potassium. Together, these compounds support scalp health, improve moisture retention and promote stronger, more resilient hair.
Hair & scalp benefits
- Moisturizes & conditions: Sugarcane's high moisture content and AHAs smooth the hair cuticle, making strands softer and more manageable.
- Detangles: Natural humectant action reduces friction, helping combs and brushes glide through wet hair.
- Promotes growth: Vitamins and minerals nourish the scalp and follicles — the healthy foundation for hair growth.
- Strengthens: Nutrients improve elasticity and reduce breakage for stronger-looking hair.
- Supports scalp health: Mineral balance helps maintain a healthy scalp environment.
- Adds natural shine: Smoother cuticles reflect light better — hello healthy sheen.
How to use sugarcane for best results
- Hair rinse: As a final rinse after shampooing, massage diluted sugarcane juice through hair for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
- Scalp massage: Mix sugarcane juice with a carrier oil (coconut or almond), massage for several minutes and rinse — ideal before shampooing.
- In products: Look for sugarcane extract in conditioners, masks and shampoos for daily convenience and consistent benefits.
