Review | Saach organics

Strengthening haircare using Ayurveda with Indian herbs, made in the UK. The last couple of months or so I've been using Saach organics basil, hibiscus & peppermint shampoo, for hair strengthening, and hibiscus, henna and primrose hair nourishment conditioner. I've also used the herbal hair oil. 

Saach organics contain 100% natural actives and are free from 

• parabens

• formaldehyde 

• sulphates 

• petrochemicals 

They are cruelty free and suitable for vegans. 

When I first started to use Saach I wasn't too sure about them. As many natural shampoos they don't lather that much and can sometime not feel like it cleans the hair as good. It can also weigh down the hair, leaving it feeling greasy. I tried a few different shampoos and in the end the one that worked best on my hair is the Basil, hibiscus & peppermint strengthening shampoo.

I then shampooed twice and rinsed it well. It worked and hair felt clean. 

After a while I started to notice how it improved the condition of my hair. It felt soft, smooth and stronger. It's the best condition my hair been in for a long time. 

The longer I used the products the more I like them. Because I see the benefit and how much better my hair feels. I keep getting compliments on my hair and all I've done is washing it. 

The conditioner I liked right away. It feels great to apply it to the hair, easy to comb through and makes my hair smooth. I love the smell of the conditioner. Part from the hibiscus, henna and primrose, it also has almond and cinnamon. It's rather spicy and I love it. 

The use of henna in their products is new to me. It also made me slightly nervous using them as I didn't want it to  change my colour. The henna Saach is using is a colourless henna so it won't make any difference to your hair colour and is fine to use on coloured hair. 

I've also been using the herbal hair oil. Made from Indian gooseberry cotton seed oil and almond oil. Some of the other ingredients are henna, rose, coconut oil and red sandalwood. I apply oil on my scalp and throughout the hair and leave it over night. It sinks in to the hair so doesn't feel too greasy like many oils can do. 

The herbal hair oil claims to open up blocked capillaries, improving the blood circulation on the scalp and brings back moisture to your hair. 

My scalp often get dry and itchy and this oil has helped with that. My hair feels smooth and healthy. 

Price is £10.95 a good value for a good and natural shampoo. The herbal hair oil is £12.90. You can buy them from LoveLula www.lovelula.com

I would definitely buy these again. 

Have you ever tried Saachs organics products? Which natural hair products do you use?

How To... Apply Virgin Coconut Oil To Your Hair

Coconut oil is good for so many things and one of those things are as a hair treatment. In this video I show you how to apply coconut oil to your hair.

Enjoy! ❤

Steps by Step

I prefer to apply the coconut oil on dry hair. It gets messy so make sure you wear a top you don't care too much about.

1. Scoop out the amount of coconut oil you need in to a bowl and put it in to the microwave for 30-40 seconds until it's melted in to a liquid.

2. Part your hair in to sections to make it easier. Now start applying to your hair starting from the scalp and working yourself through the hair.

3. Comb through the hair to make sure the coconut oil is applied evenly all over.

4. Clip it up, you can wrap your hair in a towel or put a shower cap on and leave the treatment on for 1-2hrs or as long as you want.

Finally when washing it out shampoo twice to make sure you get all the coconut out of your hair. Condition and style your hair as usual.

Enjoy your soft healthy hair.

Review | John Masters Organic Conditioner

Photo: John Master Organic

Today I'm reviewing one of my old time favourites. Lavender and avocado intensive conditioner from John Masters Organic.

You can use this as a normal conditioner, but I also like it as a deeper treatment. I just leave it on for few minutes and let it work its magic.

The treatment leaves my hair feeling soft, silky and healthy. It makes my hair easy to comb through and don't forget, it smells amazing.

I love this conditioner because it's not only organic, but free from parabens, sulphates and other nasties and it's vegan.

Packaging is not very exciting, but it has a kind of classic feel to it.
With it being £22 it is a bit on the pricey side. But if you use it as a treatment once a week it will last for ages.

Review | O'right Recoffee Shampoo and Conditioner

Rarely have I been this excited about new products. I first heard about O'right at salon international last year and managed to convince my boss to bring them into the salon. They are now one of our best selling product. Today I will be reviewing its RECOFFEE Moisturising Shampoo and RECOFFEE Conditioner.

Who's O'right?
O'right is an organic brand from Taiwan, but they've made it a lifestyle.
O'right puts green concepts into all of their products, from materials and ingredients to designs and operations. O'right devotes themselves to Eco-line, reduces carbon emissions and using certified organic ingredients, soy ink printing and recycled paper and biodegradable bottles to ensure a sustainable good life for our future generations. They also want to give something back so in their bottles is a seed to plant a tree.

What is Recoffee?
Recoffee is one of O'rights latest products in its hair care range. Recoffee is an oil made out of recycled coffee grounds, which is an excellent source of antioxidants.

On the bottle, its states that "the shampoo gently cleanses the hair and locks in moisture to create  shiny hair. " and "The conditioner is mixed with the oil and softening ingredients from plants, to deeply repair and nourish the hair. It creates shiny hair with volume."

Verdict
After been using Recoffee for few weeks now, my hair is really soft and both hair and scalp feels healthy. My scalp doesn't agree to many shampoos so that's amazing. I do find that my hair feels better and softer a day or two after I've washed it than on the same day. But only helps to not wash it as often so fine by me. I will definitely continue using it. I love the packaging and the fact that they have seeds in their bottles to plant is such a great idea. I bought the 400ml bottles and I think it's a good value because most shampoos are normally much smaller so you get a good amount of product for your money. You don't need to use much of the shampoo, but I find myself adding more conditioner sometimes. I love the smell. The coffee smell might not be for everyone, but O'right has a wide range of Shampoos and conditioners to choose between. Being one of the greenest shampoos in the world with no carbon footprint is a huge deal for me so worth the extra few £. They don't test on animals and are free from parabens and sulphates, so all plus there.

Price:
Shampoo & Conditioner 400ml bottle £18.25/each
