Beauty Review: Acure Pure Mint+Echinacea Stem Cell Shampoo/Conditioner

I have fallen in love with every single Acure Organics product that has hit the market. They get it right every single time! Their ingredients are nothing but organic, natural, fair trade products. They never contain any chemicals, and a portion of the purchase ($1 for every product) goes to Breast Cancer Awareness.

The Acure Mint shampoo and Conditioner are simply quite amazing if I do say so myself. They smell amazing (a nice minty scent) the shampoo has a nice rich lather, and doesn’t take very much at all to wash my entire head of hair.

The conditioner is thick and creamy, yet doesn’t “weigh down” the hair. It leaves my hair feeling clean, refreshed, and seems to have more volume.

My hair is always soft when I use this combo, and it seems like my dry, flaky scalp doesn’t act up as much because of the peppermint ingredients inside.

Working the shampoo into the scalp produces a nice tingle..oohh how relaxing. I can also work this one all the way to the ends without it over drying and frizzing out my hair.

I can tell even when I’m still in the shower that my hair actually has some Oomph to it. I really like the volume it adds. I simply LOVE it! There’s nothing like Acure on the market.

Organic, eco-friendly, AND pocket friendly!

Buy It: pure mint + echinacea stem cell shampoo volumizing & pure mint + echinacea stem cell conditioner volumizing $9.99 each

Leonor Greyl Hair Care Review

Founded in 1968, Leonor Greyl combines over 35 years of hair care expertise with a passion for creating beautiful hair. Imported from France, Leonor Greyl is a stylist favorite and just recently became available in the US. This collection includes shampoos, conditioners, styling products, masks, oils and serums made from high quality natural ingredients designed to invigorate your scalp and hair.

Leonor Greyl Shampooing Creme Moelle De Bambou

Based on natural active ingredients (wheat derivatives, carrot, silk proteins and bamboo marrow), this shampoo repairs the hair fiber from the very first application. It works to regenerate the hair, restore instant shine, flexibility and manageability.

This shampoo is suitable for all hair types prone to dryness and more particularly long hair that become damaged over time, especially on lengths and ends. This luxurious shampoo cleanses and conditions saving you considerable time while improving your hair’s appearance and beauty.

This shampoo is for long, dry hair. It can also be used for damaged hair from too much heat styling or too much colorant. My hair isn’t too long, but it’s long enough.

This shampoo is very, very different from any other shampoo on the market. This isn’t a regular shampoo, it’s like medicine for your hair. This comes in a plain white bottle with black writing, and a flip top bottom. It is really creamy and silky, you can feel it’s smoothness when you rub it into the palms of your hands before applying it to your hair.

You wet your hair like regular shampoo and then lather and massage this in. You leave it in for 5-7 minutes. 5 for a regular shampooing with extra benefits, or leave it in for 7 to let it do what it does best, and let it soak into your hair follicles. This gives long dry the suppleness it craves.

Most people with long hair would agree that it takes a MAJOR quality shampoo to help dry hair regain it’s moisture. This shampoo is amazing. The only thing it doesn’t have is a flowery awesome smell, but since it’s like a medicine for hair- I didn’t really expect it to. It works wonders. I love using this, because I feel like I’m giving myself a pamper day at home every time I use this and the conditioner.

I can blow-dry my hair after using these and I have absolutely NO flyaway's, no static, no random hairs straying everywhere. I usually have to wash my hair daily with regular shampoo and conditioner because I have oily hair and they weigh my hair down. Not this one. I don’t even necessarily have to use the conditioner to get my hair so silky and smooth! After just 1 USE you can tell the difference in your hair!

This doesn’t foam like other shampoo’s because of the natural ingredients, but it doesn’t take much at all to get your whole head shampooed. Once you start using this shampoo, your going to want to add this to your hair care regimen forever. Your not going to look at shampooing the same EVER. This shampoo is like having a cosmetologist giving you a shampoo and rinse at your house every single time you use this!

Masque a l’orchidee

This conditioning mask is formulated with plant ceramides that strengthen the hair, film-forming silk proteins for unparalleled shine and botanical oils to increase hair flexibility. This mask works like a genuine nourishing, detangling and softening treatment for very curly, even frizzy hair. Blowdrying is made easier. Cruls are more flexible and can be shaped at will

This Masque does absolutely everything it promises to do. This leaves frizzy hair VERY silky and smooth. No other masque leaves frizzy hair so manageable without no frizz. Masques either leave hair too oily because of all the extra’s it adds and how much it weighs it down, This masque is absolutely perfect. It doesn’t weigh my hair down AT ALL and takes only a about a half dollar amount to get all my hair conditioned.

This Masque needs to be left on for 20 minutes, but it’s 20 minutes of luxury and relaxation. It smells really nice and leaves my hair feeling so moisturized yet not gummy or oily.  It makes it sleek yet helps make your hair so full and have so much volume.

The amount that it strengthens my hair is amazing. My hair feels so amazing that I can’t stop running it through my hands over and over. I felt like a high school girl twirling my hair—!

Usually when I blow-dry my hair I get some static and frizz, but not when using it with this masque. I can leave it in, relax, and rinse. Let it air dry or blow-dry it and style my hair and all day my hair is so manageable, shiny, and feels so amazing.

If your hair needs some MAJOR TLC or you want to keep it from needing it in the long run, this is an amazing Masque and I definitely recommend it.

There are some other Leonor Greyl products that I am dying to try. They have such amazing products with such high quality. These products just make me feel so great just sitting on my counter, looking so sophisticated- knowing that if I need that extra TLC I have it right at my fingertips.

Anti-Split Blow-dry

Adds moisture and reflective shine for an easy blow-dry. Colour Stylist formulas with the StrengtheningAntiFadeComplex helps fortify colour-treated hair while optimizing colour retention.

To use: Apply on damp hair before blow-drying.

This product is 100% vegan- no ingredients of animal origin. This product is available only at fine salons and is not tested on animals!

When blow-drying my hair before using this Pureology Anti-Split Blow-dry, my hair would frizz out and I was definitely afraid of getting damaged hair and split ends. When using high heat to style hair, it definitely CAN harm your hair and it will make your hair break off or make it look extremely frizzy.

Now that I have this, my hair looks extremely better and I am not worried about getting damaged hair anymore. This makes my hair look 10x’s better and looks extremely healthier. When I use this, it makes my hair look like it has been professionally blown-dry. I love this.

It has a creamy, smooth formula that glides right in the hair without leaving the hair all gunky or feeling greasy. I love that it makes the hair so smooth and holds style without hair being stiff and unable to run your fingers through it. I love that it has a lock top. All you have to do is turn it right to lock the top, so there is no accidental spill or if you want to carry it in your purse or travel bag.

My hair looks amazing and smells amazing (like berries mixed with vanilla), and I’ve never had another hair product work in so many different ways. It helps to protect the hair from heat damage, helps style the hair without stiffness, and also helps to protect colour-treated hair.

One of my friends came to visit me, and I was in the bedroom blow-drying my hair. Adam sent her back to see me, and she walked into the air from the blow-dryer that was going through my hair- and she said “Um.. your hair smells so good.”

Silk Bodifier Volumizing Mousse

Volumizes hair with shine and softness. Colour Stylist formulas with the StrengtheningAntiFadeComplex helps fortify colour treated hair while optimizing colour retention.

Infuse hair with volume shine and softness while protecting and maximizing the vibrancy of colour-treated hair. 

To use: Apply 2-4 puffs to damp hair. Massage from roots to ends and style.

The puffs are so, so silky. They feel like tiny puffs of pearls that your rubbing into your hair. The puffs rub right in without no problem, without any mousse stuck to your hair and unwilling to mix in.

It smells very nice, the same as the Anti-Split blow-dry like a mixture of berries and vanilla. I love when a mousse smells amazing, and holds nicely and helps make it manageable without being stiff!

My hair is stick straight, always has been. As long as I can remember, there has only been a handful of products that have actually helped hold curls in my hair. This is one of them. and I was surprised because it was a mousse. Usually I can only get mousse to help me get a beach wave look. This helped me style my hair in anyway I want to style it.

See how bouncy, shiny, and manageable this looks? I love this mousse and it doesn’t take very much to get this look.

I couldn’t ask for more from a mousse. Manageable hold without the stickiness or greasiness. Great smell. Great packaging, great customer service, and great hair care at home.!
