Africa Organics Hair Treatment Oil

The lovely ladies from Faithful to Nature sent me the Africa Organics Baobab Hair Treatment Oil a couple of weeks ago and I am completely in love with this product.

As you know I am on a quest to get this ‘mop kop’ looking good and I have been trying a few sulphate free shampoos (have a look at my posts HERE, HERE and HERE) and treatments to get my damaged and extremely dry hair looking good again.

Of course I was very excited when I received this oil and couldn’t wait to get home to try it. Like a little kid at Christmas I ripped open the parcel and already gave the product a wiff at the office. Heaven I tell you. Sweet and lovely.

The oil comes in a tube with a very handy pump nozzle. I really like the packaging as I can dispense the amount I need and there’s no mess.

I was expecting a hair oil that mostly consists of silicones (as I’ve been seeing so many of them doing the rounds lately), but to my surprise this product is just oil and 100% of the total ingredients are from natural origin. The oils include Jojoba, Baobab and orange peel.

It can be applied generously as a treatment or you can apply a teensy bit after styling to combat frizzies and flyaways. I do both. What I really love about it is that it feels as though my hair absorbs the oil; it doesn’t just coat the hair. I often apply quite a bit of oil to my ends before going to bed and I don’t even have to cover my pillowcase as my hair seems to suck up every bit of goodness that it offers.

The condition of my hair has improved dramatically over the last couple of weeks, and this is due to going sulphate free and because of this wonder oil.

NOTE: I heard this morning that Africa Organics has changed the oil… I almost had heart failure as I need more!

BUT apparently the oil is now slightly different but BETTER. I can’t wait to try the new Africa Organics Marula Hair Treatment Oil. I already think the Baobab treatment is perfection, so I can’t wait to get my hands on the Marula treatment.

If you have dry, damaged or colour treated hair, or your hair just needs a bit of TLC during these harsh colder months, I highly recommend you try it.

African Organics Hair Treatment Oil retails for R85 for 50ml and you can buy it on line from Faithful to Nature.

Oh my, Mio! Liquid Yoga bath soak review

Bath time is never a particularly relaxing experience for me as the bath is usually shared with my 3 year old, Hello Kitty bubbles, and a bucket load of toys.

Last Monday I took my chance to have some me time. It was a public holiday (bless those) and when got back from my Adventure Boot Camp session at 06:40, everyone was still fast asleep. It was also the perfect time to try out Mio’s Liquid Yoga Bath Soak. ABC was particularly hard core that morning and my muscles were already starting to get a little stiff (ABC works you hard!). Liquid Yoga is accompanied by little booklet with a couple of lovely yoga stretches and since I had the time, I made good use of the instructions before I got into the bath.

‘Relax and calm your busy mind; ease hard-working muscles and restore your body with our perfect milky-moisturising blend of essential oils, mineral salts and therapeutic herbs.’
‘Relax and calm your busy mind; ease hard-working muscles and restore your body with our perfect milky-moisturising blend of essential oils, mineral salts and therapeutic herbs.’

Liquid Yoga is heaven in a bottle.

It contains ingredients like Epsom salts and Arnica to relieve aches and pains, Murumuru butter to moisturise and V-Tonic™ (a blend of spearmint, cypress, lavender, mandarin and chamomile essential oils) that works like a bomb to relax and calm body and mind.

I felt so good after that soak. The scent is amazing and my skin felt soft and moisturised. I felt wide awake and relaxed the rest of the day. This is love people.

Mio warns: may cause relaxation and happiness.

Liquid Yoga is the perfect way to unwind after a workout or a hectic week. Bonus: it contains no nasties.

The Liquid Yoga Restorative Bath Soak retails for R550 for 200ml. Click HERE to find a stockist.
