Pura D'Or Argan-Oil Based Shampoo and Conditioner Review and Giveaway!

I was blessed with naturally curly hair -- thick and strong -- and I want to keep it that way.  I have tried so many shampoos and experienced so many disappointments. Rather than moisturize, some shampoos stripped my hair of it's natural oils while the accompanying conditioner added too much synthetic oil and made my hair look greasy.

It got to the point where I just started using ye-olde-cheap shampoos and conditioners. Did they help? Nope.

Enter the amazing products at http://purador.com. I have tried argon oil-based products before, but never anything as good as these.

I received the Argan Oil based Hair Loss Prevention Shampoo and Lavender Vanilla Conditioner.

I have to admit, I found the packaging to be appealing. If you put this much thought into the outward appearance of your product -- the ingredients inside must be of superior quality.  I was not disappointed.

The Premium Organic Argan Oil Based Hair Loss Prevention Therapy Shampoo:

*Prevents Hair Loss 
*Strengthens Hair
*Adds Volume
*All Natural and Organic 
*Vitamins for Hair Growth 
*Contains NO Paraben, NO SLS and is Gluten Free
*12 Active Ingredients to Help Prevent Hair Loss

The first thing you'll notice is the light, clean fragrance. Not over-powering. I have quite short hair, so I used about a quarter-size dollop of shampoo.  The lather is thick and luxurious --  leave it in your hair for about two minutes.  Leaving it in your hair allows the healing elements to deeply penetrate your hair and absorb completely.  Rinse thoroughly. The shampoo rinses clean and leaves no film.  I like that!

Next, it's time to apply the Premium Organic Argan Oil Based Lavender and Vanilla Conditioner:

*99% Vegetable Base Ingredients
*Manages Frizz
*Enhances Shine
*Argan Oil Based
*Contains NO Paraben, NO Sulfate and is Gulten Free

Its recommended that you work the conditioner into a lather and distribute throughout your hair.  Leave in for at least two minutes for maximum absorption and penetration.  Rinse well.

I used a little more conditioner than shampoo because I needed that complete coverage and absorption. About a quarter-size should suffice for people with short hair like mine.

Use these two amazing products together for best effect.  Three months is suggested to see best results.

Two weeks of use and I can see the beneficial effects already.  My hair feels thicker, stronger, and healthier. Frankly, I think my hair just looks better. The curl is bouncy (people are asking where I got the perm!), my hair doesn't feel dry and brittle, it's soft.  I am very pleased with my experience with Pura d'Or and will highly recommend their products.

I hope this photo shows you the life in my hair, the curls, the shine.  It shows every silver hair!  But I earned everyone, so I'm okay with that!

Organix Brazilian Keratin Therapy: REVIEW

I keep my hair short -- especially in the summer months. The heat and humidity really does a number on me (and my hair).

My hair gets extremely dry and frizzy in the summer (you'd think it might be oily in the summer months, but no!)

Dry and brittle is bad enough... but frizzy? I look like I stuck my finger in a light socket.

When I discovered Organix late last year, I reviewed the wonderful Cherry Blossom Ginseng Shampoo and Conditioner. I love it in the Winter months. It keeps my naturally curly hair very shiny and bouncy!

But, it hasn't help tame the frizzies brought on by the humidity of the Southeast Georgia summer.

For that, I've switched to the amazing Brazilian Keratin Therapy.

Although touted as an Ever Straight shampoo and conditioner, I've found that it doesn't so much straighten my hair as much as it controls frizz.  The shampoo soothes and deep cleans the hair and the conditioner smooths the hair without weighing it down.

And it smells so good... Mike says it smells like a chocolate-coconut bar! How's that for yummy!

ORGANIX: Review and Giveaway, CLOSED!

CLOSED!

I've been using Organix Cherry Blossom Ginseng shampoo and conditioner for about 6 weeks now.

It's an amazing product. I really wasn't expecting the results I've gotten! My hair short and curly... very curly. While all of my friends are busy getting expensive perms, I just look to the Heavens and say, Thank you, Lord!

Because my hair is short, it can get dried out and frizzed very quickly. Especially in the heat and humidity of Southeast Georgia.

But Organix Shampoos and Conditioners have been a life-saver for me. My hair doesn't frizz but it's not greased down, either.
The Organix Cherry Blossom Ginseng Conditioner is very light and very effective!

Rejuvenating Cherry Blossom Ginseng Shampoo & Conditioner:
This sensual and alluring blend of cherry blossom extracts and Asian ginseng root helps rejuvenate the scalp and hair follicle to add volume at the root while nourishing your hair with replenishing rice milk and bamboo extract for hydration and shine.
