Are you like me and want natural and organic hair care?
Right now with the cold weather, my hair is really not helping me look like a "proper" mature woman. Since I prefer comfort before glamour - I am suffering from "Hat Head" .
Add dull graying hair and you have someone in dire need of haircare products.
But it's not so easy for those of us who want NATURAL haircare products beyond shampoo and conditioner.. There are few good styling products that give us a professional polished look as the chemical laden ones do.
To keep my dead straight hair under control, I was a dedicated user of John Masters Sweet Orange + Silk Protein Styling Gel http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=1065&category_id=385&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=27
But his reformulated "new improved" version was unsuitable for my determined strong willed hair.
I found with my extensive search that NATURAL, I mean truly natural, and PROFESSIONAL are an oxymoron when it comes to hair styling products so I was back with John Masters.
But my coarse hair needed so much of the Bourbon Vanilla + Tangerine Texturizer http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=219&category_id=385&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=27 that it was sticky to touch.
My last resort in the line was the Hair Pomade http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=533&category_id=385&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=27.
Again my hair needed so much product to be managed that even if I was okay with the slick look, my fringe ("bangs" to Gen X and Y) still fell over my eyes. Cool for the twenty somethings-- annoying to us fifty somethings.
I know that my staff who are uncompromisingly discriminating about their skincare are secretly using haircare products that have unwanted chemicals like phthalates to keep their hair looking sleek. And if I could tolerate the scent of these convenient products, I may have given up and joined their ranks.
So what can we LOHAS'ers do to maintain our health and the health of the planet?
I decided mix up my own "custom" product. I softened the effect of the John Masters Sweet Orange + Silk Protein Styling Gel http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=1065&category_id=385&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=27 with his Bourbon Vanilla + Tangerine Texturizer http://www.pureandsimple.ca/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=219&category_id=385&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=27 .
Eureka! I now have a styling product that gives me a neat professional look without the an unattractive feel.
So I encourage you to not compromise and be creative too.
