Cara and I have been on the sulphate-free healthy hair journey for just over 6 weeks now, and the change in the condition of our hair is just amazing! I’m talking healthier, stronger and thicker hair. If you suffer from dry, damaged hair or you wash every day, I urge you to try sulphate-free shampoo. It’s really made such a difference to our hair (if you’re wondering what the hell I’m on about, read HERE).
I am constantly on the look-out for more sulphate-free ranges to try, and the Coconut Milk range from OGX is next on my list.
‘OGX products contain organic active ingredients and are sulphate free, with natural, delectable scents, and are not tested on animals’… what more could one ask for?!
‘Coconut milk and ultra-whipped egg white proteins along with weightless coconut oil to hydrate and nourish your hair as gentle cleansers wash away impurities’. And the packaging is so pretty.
The collection consists of a shampoo, conditioner, a slit-ends mender, an anti-breakage serum, a mousse, a repair treatment and a hydrating oil mist.
The products retail for R180 and are available at Foschini.
Have you tried any of these? Please let me know what you think.
When I read the above and realised that they have nastie-free hair care products, I knew I had to try some (the whole healthy hair journey, and all). Keep reading to the end though as the last one is my favourite.
The Daily Tonic is a detangler like no other we’ve tried. It’s a cocktail of natural ingredients which include ‘ultramarine polysaccharides for effortless styling and our pure plant essences which release their fumes all day long, both delighting our senses and helping to make hair unattractive to head lice.’ It works like a charm to detangle Cara’s hair when we need to get it looking pretty between washes and it works great as a leave-in conditioner after a wash (and condition). It leaves her hair shiny and soft. I have not been able to figure out if I like or dislike the scent. It’s not particularly unpleasant; it’s just different I guess. I do know that I love that the scent is not artificial and the fact that lice hates it is a bonus.
The TLC body and hair wash is a natural no-tears formula suitable for the most sensitive of skins. It’s so gentle because it ‘contains ingredients which match the oils and amino acids found naturally in the skin.’ This wash foams beautifully and cleans thoroughly without leaving Cara’s hair or skin feeling dried out or stripped. Two thumbs up.
Before I tell you about Potion Lotion, please remember that eczema is a very ‘individual’ ailment. What works for one person, may not work for another as the cause and triggers for eczema varies from the one person to the next. Cara’s eczema is caused by food allergies, while mine is more related to stress and I suffer most during change of season. I hope that this cream may also work for you!
My ABC workouts take place outside at 5:30 in the morning. It was particularly cold when I started the camp and I could see that my hands didn’t really like the cold (gloves sorted that out quickly). If my eczema is already inflamed, my own sweat burns my skin. My hands really looked bad and the skin was broken, swollen and sore.
Round about that time I received the Potion Lotion and when I lathered Cara in the stuff after her bath, the excess would go on to my arms and hands. This is a magic potion!! After 3 days the skin on my hands were healed. I couldn’t believe it. It really helps heal my eczema and it is all natural! It is also beautifully moisturising. I love it and so does Cara. The lotion does have a very potent smell which I’m not too fond of, but that will not stop me from using (and buying) it. It’s awesome.
I love eco.kid’s packaging :)
