Shiny hair with just two products

shiny hair

As you may know, I prefer organic products when it comes to my hair. There are three reasons:

  1. My scalp is quite sensitive and I have found that organic shampoos are the best for it. They help to treat dryness, oiliness and dandruff.
  2.  My hair is curly, so I need to use shampoos that don’t contain sulfates (they are too harsh for already dry hair) or silicones (they might ruin my curls by smoothing and straightening them too much).
  3. I like to use organic products, where I can and organic hair products just seem to work for me.

However – it’s not always easy to find good natural shampoos. I have tried some bad ones as well. Shampoos, that tangle my hair or leave my hair feeling dirty. I like my shampoo to feel like a regular shampoo. I like it to foam and to make my hair feel clean – but I don’t want it to strip my scalp from it’s natural oils (that’s the key in treating naturally curly hair!).

And guys – I have found new shampoo, that is amazing and a new conditioner, that’s almost as good – especially for natural hair or naturally curly hair. I’m talking about Evolve Beauty’s Superfood Shine Natural Shampoo & Conditioner. I got them both as pr-samples.

The shampoo smells amazing and it makes my hair feel smooth. It foams well. It contains baobab proteins, which boost shine by 42 % and softness by 27 % – they say that it’s better than dimethicone, which is a silicone. That is so cool and I can definitely stand behind that statement. As you can probably see from these photos as well, the shampoo definitely gives a beautiful shine. I can see myself purchasing this shampoo again, since the price isn’t bad either.

The conditioner has the same scent as the shampoo, but not as strong. When it comes to the consistency, the conditioner is quite thin and lightweight, which is perfect for natural or curly hair. This too contains baobab proteins, which plays a part in making your hair look very shiny and soft. This untangles hair very well too, which is important since I don’t use a brush. If your hair is very damaged or dry, this conditioner might not be enough for you. My hair is quite dry – the lengths in particular – but this conditioner is enough for me, especially when I pair it with my curl cream leave-in-conditioner.

In these photos I only washed my hair with the shampoo and added the conditioner and nothing else, just to show you the results using just these two products. I feel like my curls behave a bit better, when I use the curl cream, but I like these wavy curls too, which I achieved without the curl cream.

Amazing hair growth results with Caffeine Hair Tonic

o'right hair growth

When I heard about the serum, that can grow your hair 7 cm in just two months, I knew I had to get it and see for myself. Who wouldn’t want longer and healthier hair? Lucky for me, I got the hair tonic for review purposes and I’ve now been using it for about three months. Spoiler alert: I think it works!

Now before we get to the serum and my experience with it, here’s some background information about my hair problems. If you’ve been reading my blog before, you know that the end of last year was not that pleasant for me health-wise. I suffered from bad acne and hormonal imbalance, which also led me to lose a lot of hair. A lot. That sucked, because I actually started to use this serum first in October, but decided to stop when I knew the results wouldn’t look that great, since my hair was falling off and thinning. I wanted to give this serum a fair chance – when my hair would be in somewhat normal state. Luckily my hair recovered pretty quickly after I started to take birth control pills (in November) and they stopped falling off.  So I started to use the serum again in December and continued to use it through January and February. Obviously some of my hair growth is due to the pills and the fact, that they helped balance my hormones, but I think this serum has still made a positive difference. And I was the perfect candidate for it, since I had lost so much hair.

Three months’ hair growth results using O’Right Caffeine Hair Tonic. As you can see my hair was very thin and limp in December – my hair situation has improved so much. You can see the difference not only from my lengths, but from how low my own natural hair color has grown!

O’right’s Caffeine Hair Tonic contains 95 % natural ingredients and as it’s name might suggest it contains caffeine extract, which stimulates hair growth and keeps your scalp healthy. To get the best results, you should apply it daily to your scalp and massage it in.

I used the serum daily or at least multiple times per week. Some evenings I just forgot. I applied the serum all over the scalp section by section and I massaged it in. I loved this routine – I know that massage itself helps hair growth and it’s actually very relaxing to give yourself a little massage. I was afraid of what the tonic would do to my scalp or if it would leave it oily, but I found that it actually was amazing for my scalp. It gave some healthy shine to my roots as well.

Overall I’m super happy about my hair right now. It has grown so much and it has strengthened a lot. I think you can see the major difference in these photos as well. I know my jaw dropped to the floor once I put those two photos side by side.

It’s always hard to estimate how some product works, when there are other factors to be taken into consideration too (such as your hair’s natural growth cycles and in this case, hormonal changes), but I think it’s safe to say that even though this serum might not give the 7cm growth straight away, it definitely encourages healthy hair growth.

Can you see the difference? Have you tried any hair serums?
