Haircare Products: Shampoo and Conditioner
Amazon Beauty Rahua Shampoo and Conditioner ($32-34, amazonbeautysecret.com) In a time of consumer demand for natural health and body care, these gentle formulas are completely free of chemical preservatives. Made with rain forest grown symbiotic ingredients, this is a truly natural hair care collection that is harvested in the wild. Key ingredients include Rahua Elixir constantly repairs damaged hair and speeds hair growth and Palo Santa a calming ingredient from aged “holy wood” that imports an amazingly beautiful aroma. Leaves hair feeling moisturized and healthy.

MOMO Conditioner ($22, 1-866-Davines for a salon in your area) Drench your hair with moisture with this conditioner that contains Vitamin B5 and bull thistle oil to hydrate; jojoba oil to protect; and Rhizobian gum to selectively moisturize overly parched strands and add body. I coated my hair and let it sit for 3 minutes after washing my hair. After only one time using this moisturizing conditioner my hair felt softer and looked a lot healthier. A must for the fall.

Desert Essence Organics Fragrance Free Shampoo ($8.99, Whole Foods Market and national health food stores nationwide) This fragrance free shampoo will leave your hair feeling naturally clean. It provides moisture, minerals and vitamins that hair needs to grow stronger. Using organic ingredients such such as organic green tea, it leaves the scalp moisturized and revitalized. Left my hair feeling incredibly clean and enjoyed not having an overpowering fragrance in my hair.

Lamas Beauty Rescue Deep Recovery Hair Masque ($18, lamasbeauty.com) A summer of too much fun and too much sun might have left your dry and frizzy. If this is the case then you need to grab Rescue Deep Recovery Hair Masque. It drastically restores vital nutrients while replenishing dry, damaged hair. Hair is left feeling soft, healthy and nourished. And all Lamas Beauty products are vegan and all natural.

The Art of Shaving Conditioner ($20, theartofshaving.com) This is one product you and your man can fight over. Although created in a line for him this fortifying conditioner will impress even the most girliest of girls. It is enriched with castor to nourish and rosemary essential oil to stimulate the scalp to promote growth. And its formulated with soy protein to repair and protect the hair shaft an jojoba oil to leave hair soft, full and shiny.

    I can never have enough conditioners to try. That MOMO and Art of Shaving Conditioner sound really good.

    Good products. Lots of stuff I haven’t hear of. I have that Silk Fusion though and it works great.

  3. A-linda A-linda says:

    Rahua Shampoo seems a little pricey but if it works like you describe it then it probably is worth it.
