When it comes to hair products, you really have to wonder if there are truly miracles for healthier, shinier, less frizzy and even thinning hair. However, the companies in this story offer awesome hair products with unique properties and ingredients. They can really make a difference. So here’s to your hair: better, shinier, sleeker, and thicker hair!
Sustainable & Vegan Hair Care:
There are good things for the planet as well as your hair from Rhyme & Reason. If you’re vegan, this is a line you will really want to know about. The packaging is eco-friendly with 100-% recycled bottles and caps. For those who have keratin or other chemical treatments on their hair, it’s good to know that these are sulfate a-free. But in the end, it’s the products that count. These are gentle to hair. Even better, everything is listed (by what it is) right on the label.
I tried the good for all hair types Nourish and Gloss shampoo and conditioner. The eco-friendly vegan shampoo has a 92% naturally derived formula featuring coconut water, wild rosella flower, and hyaluronic acid. The vegan conditioner is 96% crafted from naturally derived ingredients. The scent is a subtle coconut.
There are more varieties including Volume & Boost, Color Protect, Repair & Restore and Curl & Quench.
Another thing I like is that these products are $9.00! You can find them in places like Target, and also visit the Rhyme & Reason website to learn more.
Help and Hydration (and More) for Your Hair:
A silk pillowcase is an awesome hair and skin product. Marilyn Monroe sang “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” but actually, I am guessing a silk pillowcase was her best friend! Hairdressers, Dermatologists, and celebrities have long advocated sleeping on silk for decades. To avoid behead, treat tresses kindly, and avoid more wrinkles and fine lines the solution might just be The Hollywood Silk Solution! The 20″ x 30″ pillowcase fits a queen/standard pillow and features an invisible zipper. As Marilyn knew, silk is luxurious and expensive. Even at $45 per Hollywood Silk Solution pillowcase, it’s an investment. The silk is not all that sheer, but if your pillows have a design on them as mine does (in my photo) it might show through.
Regardless, the Hollywood Silk Solution pillowcases are made with the highest grade of long fiber mulberry silk and high-grade cotton on the underside. Sleeping on pillowcases like these can reduce bedhead, decrease tugging on delicate facial skin, avoid skin irritation, and even extend your blowout. I slept nicely on this pillowcase. Get these in white, pink, or caramel ($45/each). Visit the Hollywood Silk Solution website to learn more.
This Shampoo May Make You Seem Younger!
Do your hair and scalp smell well…”old?” In 2009 advicesisters.com reviewed a grapefruit-centric fragrance called “Ageless Beauty.” that claimed to mask the smell of aging skin. It is a fact that as people age, our bodies produce a chemical (Nonenal) and without going into too much technical detail, it breaks down into a form of an unsaturated aldehyde. This emits an unpleasant greasy odor that experts say is the natural “body odor” scent of aging. If you’ve ever sensed a certain dry powdery scent in a senior home, that could be what you are sensing.
If you’re up close and personal with someone, you want to look and smell your best. Try the Purifying & Deodorizing shampoo from Mirai Clinical. Mirai claims that it is the only shampoo in the US with Japanese persimmon extract. The scent is also grapefruit-y and is apparently also particularly effective in eliminating Nonenal (see above). It is also antioxidant and full of vitamins.
The shampoo in a pump bottle has camelia and silk as well as Japanese Persimmon Extract and some green tea. It uses natural ingredients to provide hydrated, soft hair. No conditioner is required, although I needed a de-tangler anyway for my long hair. If suddenly you perceive me as 10 years younger, well, that’s great too. But most of all, I like the way my hair feels incredibly soft, less frizzy, and it smells so fresh! For more information visit the Mirai Clinical Website
Take Care of Your Hair With Bondiboost:
Hair loss is more common than you might think. Some have hair loss due to chemo or other drugs. Over-processing and even tight hairstyles and extensions can trigger it. And some lose hair due to hormonal and stress issues. But hair also thins with age. No matter how it happens, hair loss is distressing! Take care of your hair with vegan and clean beauty BondiBoost. This is a company from Australia that has awesome hair care products.
Our editorial samples included the BondiBoost Intensive Spray, Miracle Mask, and HG Shampoo and Conditioner. The haircare products are natural and organic, vegan, and cruelty-free. They are also safe for colored and chemically-treated hair. And, they are also free from silicones, sulfates, parabens, ethoxylates, paragons, propylene glycol, petrochemical cleansers, phthalates, DEA, fragrances, and artificial colors.
To use the system: Step 1 – Elixir Oil (Weekly treatment) Section hair and apply sparingly from roots to ends. Gently massage the product into the scalp and leave in for 15 minutes, then shampoo and condition as normal. Step 2 – Hair Growth Shampoo Massage a small amount of shampoo, lather, and then rinse. Double cleanse by repeating this step if necessary. Step 3 – Hair Growth Conditioner or Growth Miracle Mask Remove excess water and massage a small amount of conditioner evenly throughout. Leave in for a few minutes then rinse well for 30 seconds. Use the Miracle Mask once a week after shampooing in place of conditioner. Leave in for 15 minutes, then rinse well for 30 seconds. Step 4 – Intensive Growth Spray Spritz directly onto your scalp once daily and gently massage in with fingertips.
Don’t expect miracles. You aren’t going to regrow a thick mane in weeks or even a couple of months if you don’t have much left. But these products can help maintain what you’ve got and give your hair a fighting chance. Therefore, if thinning hair is plaguing you, consider that one BondiBoost product is sold every 50 seconds, and more than 20,000 people have rated BondiBoost 5 stars. for more information visit the Bondiboost website.
