An Open Letter to Acure Moroccan Argan Stem Cell + Argan Oil

Shampoo & Conditioner…

Dearest New Love,

I have searched far and wide to find the “right one”; the right product to cleanse and condition my coarse, naturally wavy, color treated (read: dry as dust/damaged) hair. I have been infatuated with others in the past (who shall remain nameless), but they were either chemical laden or simply couldn’t live up to my expectations. Inevitably, each would break my heart and leave my hair unchanged or worse, in shoddier shape.

That all changed when I met you, Acure Moroccan Argan Stem Cell + Argan Oil

Shampoo & Conditioner! Your scent, with a subtle hint of almond, is enthralling without being overpowering. The lather of your shampoo is in that sweet spot between gratifying and “how will I ever rinse all of this foam out of my hair”. Happily, this is not due to sulfates or other chemicals; your heart is pure. The silky caress of your conditioner, infused with CoQ10 and Omega 7, feels velvety and stands up to blow-drying with ease. My hair was so much softer after just two uses that I simply cannot wait to see what our future holds! I find myself making excuses to spend time with you as often as I can.

Most importantly, you are FREE of those dreadful qualities I’ve found in other hair care products such as sulfates, parabens, phthalates or synthetic fragrance. You wont fade or brass my color and, as if you weren’t ideal enough, you are also vegan and cruelty free.

I admit it; I am simply hair over heels in love with you, Acure Moroccan Argan Stem Cell + Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner and am looking forward to a long, devoted relationship. I also look forward to meeting the rest of your Acure Organics family.

Lots of Love,

JJ

Is "no-poo" for you?

By now, everyone in the natural health scene has at least read about the "no-poo" method of washing your hair.  Perhaps you've read about those who have given up cleansing all together, just rinsing with water.  Others tout baking soda and apple cider vinegar rinses.  It all sounds great until it comes to executing this hair-care adventure.

I'm rigid about only carrying products at Wild Ginger Apothecary that I have used and believe in.  I repeat it over and over again because of products like Mud Puddle Hair Wash.  I was amazed to stumble across something so basic, so natural, and so pure that I had to try it.  And I was glad I did!

Mud Puddle isn't a hair wash like it describes.  It's hair mud.  A thick, gel-like clay glob that is unlike anything you've tried before.  Bentonite clay (detoxifying for everything it touches) pulls impurities from your hair and scalp to gently clean. And one thing is for sure: it doesn't get safer than this for cleansing your hair.  The adjustment period is trying (especially for longer hair) but eventually you're left with soft, healthy hair that will be grateful to be free of harsh cleansing agents.  That means a happier scalp, less hair damage, and less frequency of washing!

Is the idea of hair mud too wild for you to try just yet?  There is a middle road you can take.  I learned to love shampoo bars after my fourth broken arm.  (No jokes about being accident prone, please.)  Try applying, then lathering, gel-based shampoo with one arm!  Shampoo bars were a miracle for ease of use, by simply rubbing over my hair to apply.  And my hair (and scalp) were much more agreeable with the switch.

Want to break away from sulfate-filled conventional shampoo?  A good start is the Herban Lifestyle Shampoo Bar.  It's eco-friendly with no bottle, and made only with minimally processed organic oils.  You get 40-60 shampoos in one bar, too, making it a bargain for $10.  Once you try it, you can do an apple cider vinegar rinse (1:4 ratio with water) every few weeks for extra clarifying.  (You can try this regardless of the cleansing method you use - you'll love it!)

Give one or both of these a shot, and maybe the "no-poo" method with be for you!
