Savvy Product: Organix Coconut Conditioner

I went natural a few years ago, so I'm always on the look out for products to keep my hair healthy and happy. I love coconut oil and I use it after I condition my hair to lock in moisture. We'll the other day at Wal mart I saw this "Nourishing Coconut Milk" conditioner by Organix and I had to try it. Some of the key ingredients are silk amino acids, jojoba oil, coconut oil, organic coconut milk, panthenol, egg white protein and vitamin e. My hair actually felt softer and had less tangles than it normally does. It may not be one of my staple products, but I did like the way my hair felt, so we'll see.

Ingredients:Water, cetyl alcohol, behentrimonium, cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate, glycerin, cyclomethicone, dimethicone, jojoba oil, panthenol, silk amino complex, coconut milk, egg white protein, coconut oil, vitamin e, tetrasodium EDTA, fragrance, dmdm hydantoin, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone.

Savvy Products: Take Your Nails to the Spa

I am really loving these nail lacquers by SpaRitual, a eco-friendly beauty company. There are a variety of colors to choose from and they have cute names like; "Strike a Pose, Stiletto, & Drop Dead Gorgeous" just to name a few.

I found it interesting to learn that SpaRitual,"offers the first vegan family of nail lacquers, free of DBP, formaldehyde and toluene". The lacquers are also hand-blended and come with a specially designed brush for a better application.

You have over 80 colors to choose from and you can purchase a 0.5 oz bottle for $10.00.

Product Review: Nexxus -vs- Suave

When I stopped relaxing my hair two and a half years ago 0ne thing I learned about my natural texture was, it needed and loved moisture (water). I have discovered over these past few years that shampooing my hair really dried it out so I stopped and started to CW or condition wash my hair. I usually do this a few times a week (less now because of the weather) and over a period of time it can get really expensive. So I had to venture out to discover a two-fold product, one that worked and didn't break the bank. At that particular time I was using Nexxus products and I really liked their Humectress Conditioner. It's thick, smells good and really helps to restore moisture to your hair. But in most stores it cost 7.99 for a 5.1 oz size, so after two weeks of doing my conditioner washes it was empty. Then I discovered Suave Humectant and I was really impressed. It's not as thick as Humectress, but it has great ingredients for your hair like glycerin,panthenol and silk amino acids. They both are designed to draw moisture to your hair and repair dry & damaged strands but Suave is $5.00 cheaper. So if your looking for a salon quality conditioner without paying the price I would run to the nearest Walmart and pick up a bottle of Suave.
