The lovely people from Faithful to Nature saw my plight and sent me a couple of samples of hair products to try. Quick recap: my naturally curly and dry hair have endured many a highlighting session and that has resulted in crunchy, strawy hair that just looks horrible.

Naturalmente shampoo & conditioner

The first samples I tried were from Naturalmente. If you don’t know the brand, here is a quick intro:

‘Naturalmente offers a range of natural, organic and eco-friendly plant-based products – hair to body, baby to home – using natural best choice ingredients from the botanical kingdom. Naturalmente products are free of petrochemical by-products and synthetic substances, and are not tested on animals. Best for your wellbeing and best for our earth!’

Naturalmente Fennel & Geranium Shampoo

The natural ingredients in this shampoo have the following benefits:

Fennel Normalising, soothing, revitalising effects

Geranium Conditioning, anti-aging effects

Lavender Purifies scalp, heals, prevents hair loss

Chamomile Prevents allergies, soothing, calming

Lemon Stimulates, refreshes

Sage Anti-inflammatory, balances excessive perspiration

This shampoo is hands down the best shampoo that I have used to date. Really. It cleans my hair effectively, without leaving my hair feeling stripped. The condition of my hair has improved so much since using this shampoo. My hair feels super soft after I rinse the shampoo and I can feel that the softness is not because of something coating my hair giving the illusion of soft, healthy hair… it’s actually my hair that feels that way. My hair looks and feels so much healthier when I’ve styled it and my curls form beautifully. And I’ve had these curls for long enough to know when a product truly makes a difference. This product is worth every cent.

Naturalmente Yoghurt & Millet Conditioner

The natural ingredients in this conditioner have the following benefits:

Mint Calms itchiness, neutralises infections

Lemon Stimulating, refreshing effects

Eucalyptus Anti-viral, kills germs

Jojoba oil Nourishes, gives shine

This conditioner is lovely. My comb glides through my hair when applied and my hair is left feeling soft and smooth after I rinse. It also doesn’t leave any coating or build-up on my hair.

I am really so impressed with this brand and I can’t wait to try more of their products. I badly want to try the Fennel & Geranium Deep Hydrating Conditioner and I am very curious to see if my curls would like the Styling Mousse. I am really intrigued by the idea of an all natural mousse.

You can purchase Naturalmente products on-line at Faithful to Nature. By warned: this website has so many beautiful products! My wishlist is a mile long.

The moment I saw ‘Beauty Balm’ for hair I knew I had to try it. If you follow my blog, you will know that I am really struggling with my hair and I am on a mission to go from dry and strawy to soft, shiny and healthy.

The INOAR BB Cream range sounded like a perfect range to try as it contains all sorts of natural goodness (like natural oils and omega’s) and I was super excited when I received a travel kit to try.

The range contains high percentages of natural emollients such as Sunflower, Sesame, Linseed, olive and Macadamia and it is rich in Omegas.

The travel kit includes sample sizes of all the products in the range which consists of a shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, oil and treatment. These kits are available for purchase and it’s a great way to give the range a try before investing.

This range is suitable for all hair types and is said to have the following 9 benefits: softness, instant shine, brightness, anti-frizz, easy blow dry, intense hydration, corrects imperfections in hair shaft, restores and moisturises hair naturally and it is sulphate free (therefor keeping treatment and colour for longer).

I need to add number 10: Your hair smells amazing!

The shampoo is sulphate free and fabulous. I am still getting used to a shampoo that doesn’t foam that much (used to love those sulphates and foam). I used this shampoo on both my and Cara’s hair and I loved the fact that our hair felt soft and smooth when I rinsed the shampoo – not hard and stripped (like a lot of shampoos do). After using this shampoo for only a couple of days, I was convinced that sulphate free is definitely the way to go. Our hair is soft, smooth and on the way to be a lot healthier than it is now. I really love this shampoo.

The conditioner and leave-in conditioner are both very light yet they effectively soften and smooth my hair. My comb also glides through my hair… knots be gone.

The oil is a combination of oils and silicone and beautifully smooths your hair. I was surprised at how light it is, especially since a lot of the hair oils that I have tried feel very ‘silicone-heavy’. This one does not and I think it will be suitably for very fine hair as well.

My favourite is the hair mask. OMW it’s gorgeous! It leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth and my curls form beautifully after I’ve used it. This mask is a must.

At first glance the range looks very pricey, but the bottles (except the oil) are all 500ml, which actually makes it quite affordable for a salon range.

BB Cream Shampoo (500ml) – R420

BB Cream Conditioner (500ml) – R490

BB Cream Leave-In (500ml) – R420

BB Cream Oil (70ml) – R490

BB Cream Mask (500ml) – R490

You can purchase these beauties from INOAR Professional Stockist Hair Salons or you can order directly from the INOAR Head Office in Pretoria. Phone +27 12 686 7067 or email info@inoar.co.za.

You can also follow INOAR on Twitter and Facebook.

I’m really loving this range and can’t wait to try more products from INOAR. The Argan Oil range also looks fabulous.

Have you tried any INOAR products? Let me know what you think.
