John Masters Organics Citrus & Neorli Detangler

April 4th, 2008 — 12:12am

John Masters Organics Cirtus & Neroli DetanglerI’m always on the search for an everyday conditioner that is lightweight yet moisturizing for my fine, knotty, curly hair. It’s been hard. Conditioners are either too heavy, leave a film, don’t get the knots, smell funky, are a million dollars or simply don’t moisturize enough. I kept searching in hope that since I was a Goldilocks, that something would eventually be just right.

And I think that something is John Masters Organics Citrus & Neorli Detangler.

I’d heard the raves on message boards about this organic, parabean-free conditioner but I had resisted it for a long time. Why? It wasn’t the $14-16 price tag for 8oz (although that didn’t help) but I think it was because I had previously had bad experience with “Green” conditioners. The smells, the film, the strange hair that came out after. But I caved and glad I did.

The first thing you’ll notice is the scent – it really is citrus and neroli. It’s fresh when you put it on but it doesn’t linger in your hair after. The next thing you’ll notice is that a little bit will go a long way. I have very long hair and I just use a small amount and this product leaves my hair virtually tangle free without being weighed down. My hair is almost downright bouncy.

And the last thing you’ll notice is that you’ll want to buy it again and again because it works. And it’s organic. And parabean free. And makes you pretty. So don’t hesitate like I did – just get it and do some good for your hair and the environment. Everyone gets pretty that way. Win win!

L'Oreal Nature's Therapy Mega Moisture

April 4th, 2008 — 12:03am

L’Oreal NAture’s Therapy Mega Moisture My BFF is a famous stylist at a famous salon in Beverly Hills so needless to say, she has the most amazing hair ever. And by amazing I mean it’s soft, bouncy, shiny and just… petable. My hair? Not so much. Because it’s naturally curly and light, it tends to frizz and be on the drier side. So I turned to my BFF for hair advice and she told me to run to the nearest beauty store and pick up a tub of L’Oreal Nature’s Therapy Mega Moisture Treatment Conditioner. She said that before Fekkai came out with his own product, this cheap conditioner was making all the starlets hair camera ready – only they paid about $100 per treatment. Needless to say, I ran to the beauty store.

The concern I often have with deep treatments is that I have fine hair but a lot of it so heavy conditioners can way it down or actually make my hair worse. But after just 5 minutes of this on my hair (and I confess to really slathering it on), I felt a major difference. Once rinsed, my hair was soft and virtually tangle free (I have never known my hair to be tangle free after washing!). Once dry, my hair was soft, manageable, shiny for a blond and dare I say, petable?

Using this once a week has made such a difference that I’ve bought the little packets to take with me when I travel.
