Mushrooms are the current trend in the wellness sector, showing up in coffee, nutritional supplements and even beer. Now we're being forced to slather them on our heads after the company Dyson revealed they could be a secret weapon in the eternal battle with blooming hair.
Chitosan, which is found in the cell walls of the mushroom fungus and is commonly used in skincare products, can be used to tame unruly hair.
Named after this "hero" ingredient, Chitosan will be available in the company's stores and on its website. Customers will have to dig deeper - the styling cream and serum, which Dyson claims "reduces hair breakage by up to 50%", costs £50 for 100ml.
Chitosan is "delicate yet strong, it gives the mushrooms their shape and is the basis of Dyson's flexible fixation," the company says. | BGNES
