Pure Tashodi Argan Hair Oil Review

I only have to wash my hair every three to four days, and although the majority of my hair stays happy, the ends get very dry by day 2 and need a little extra love.  Plus, the colder weather means more fly-aways so I usually carry something with me to help manage them.

I have tried a few other leave in conditioner sprays and I’m feeling a little bit like Goldilocks – this one’s too much, that one’s not enough, but where is the product that’s ‘just right’?

Yarok Feed Your Hold Hairspray Review

Although I do like Intelligent Nutrient’s Hairspray for when I need ultra-mega hold for something like an up-do, it is really to crispy for when my hair is down.  Plus, I have a cow-lick on one side of my bangs so I use product there to help keep things going the right direction and the Intelligent Nutrient’s Hairspray was just too much.  I haven’t tried too many of Yarok’s hair products, but I like their leave-in spray so it made sense for me to try their Feed Your Hold Hairspray.

Live Clean Age Resist Miracle Nutrition Oil Review

I am always looking for ways to protect my hair as I want to grow it out to be nice and long.  This oil by Live Clean Professional is a pre-shower treatment which you leave on your hair for about five minutes prior to showering.  Think of it as a quick deep conditioning treatment that you can do anytime you wash your hair.  

Chagrin Valley Cocoa Whip Hair Moisturizer Review

If you’ve been following my blog you know I love myself some Chagrin Valley. This company makes amazing products, has great business ethics and the most excellent customer service you could imagine. The wide product range offers something for everyone and, in the case of a green beauty product junkie such as myself, so many things I want to try! Up for trial this time from this amazing natural beauty company is their Cocoa Whip Hair Moisturizer and, like so many of their products, I really, really like it.

Intelligent Nutrients Hair Shine Serum Review

Hemp seed oil used to be my thing, and worked well with my hair. It penetrated right to the core of each strand of hair without adding too much weight. The only thing is it was messy to apply and could really only be applied to damp/wet hair. Always on the lookout for versatile products, I thought I’d try Intelligent Nutrient’s Hair Shine Serum. Chock full of USDA organic ingredients and hair loving oils, you’d think this product was a shoe in to become a fave! Sadly, this was not the case for me.

First Empties Post

I haven’t had a post like this before because I haven’t run out of so many products at one time.  I like reading about what other bloggers have used up, their final impressions and if they would repurchase again, so I thought I’d try it out and see how things go.

Here’s what I’ve used up:

John Masters Organics Sea Mist Spray Review

I have been wanting to try a few sea salt sprays since they became popular a few years back, but I only got around to it recently when I discovered John Masters Organics.  After the first use of this product I knew that we would be friends forever!

My Hair Care Routine

It has been a bit of a journey, but I think I’ve finally found a good balance of hair care products that work well for my hair and have honestly given me the best hair I’ve had in my adult life.  I never thought I’d say this, but my hair feels softer, healthier and looks more smooth and has better shine than it ever did with conventional products or even the expensive salon-grade products.  Even though I have dyed my hair repeatedly for years, and have gone from very light blonde to very dark brown and back again several times, my hair now air-dries without any frizz.  I definitely couldn’t boast about that with my salon brands.

The transition from salon to natural products wasn’t pretty.  I nearly quit to go back to salon products so many times I can’t even count.  But now that I’m on the flip side (nearly two months later) I can honestly say I’d never go back.  I no longer expect my shampoo to lather like crazy, and understand that my hair can be just as clean without the stripping sulfate ingredients.  Like I’ve said, my hair has never been healthier.  Why would I go back?

Lavera Rose Milk Repairing Care Treatment Review

As the ultimate hair diva and now that I finally have my hair adjusting to shampoo bars I have been on the hunt for a natural/organic hair mask.  It is much more common for someone to spend time with their skin, washing it sometimes twice a day, using a toner, serum, moisturizer, exfoliator, and masking once a week or so than it is for someone to spend a ton of time on their hair.  At least your skin can reap the benefit of the nutrition you put in your body, but your hair is dead.  And that hair that’s sitting on your shoulders has been blow-dried, flat ironed and curled how many times? Seriously, You owe it to your dry, thirsty ends to give them a hair mask for all of the stress you put them through.  

Yarok Feed Your Ends Conditioner Review

Although I hope to someday be at the point where all I’ll need is a shampoo bar and apple cider vinegar rinse to be happy with my hair, for now I still feel like it needs a conditioner or some variety.  I’ve been using the John Master’s Organics Citrus and Neroli Detangler (review) for the last little while, but I was hoping to find something that wouldn’t be quite as expensive.  It works wonders, don’t get me wrong, but at $22 CAD for an 8oz bottle, the price is a little steep.  Especially when you have to spend more than $60 to get free shipping! But I digress…

While perusing my favourite natural beauty products website, EcoDivaBeauty, I came across a product by Yarok called Feed Your Ends.  It’s a leave-in conditioner and heat protectant that is 100% natural and certified vegan.  Can’t get much better than that!
