Almost Vegetarian hair care products
You battling frizzies? Flat hair? Dry hair? Dull hair?
You want pretty hair?
We’ll that’s the focus today: The nicest hair you can get.
Organix
With lines ranging from Citrus Mango to Mocha Espresso, the first thing you probably should know is that these products are not edible. So, hey, you in the back, put that bottle down. The second thing you need to know is that all the products are sulfate free.
The line I looked at is Coconut Milk. Partially because I’m a sucker for anything with coconut in it. And partially because it is summer and, hey, we all are supposed to smell like coconuts.
Now, this line contains eight products. But, of these, the two most interesting are the nourishing self-heating coconut oil and the split ends mender. What you do with the oil is put some on your palms, rub your hands together, then apply it to your hair. It heats up in your hands and hydrates your hair. But if chemically-treated, dry, or frizzy hair is your problem, then I’d head for the split ends mender. As with the first product, it has coconut oil to hydrate your hair.
Hamadi
You gotta love a company whose logo is “tested on actresses, never on animals.” Très amusante.
Now, this company has all sorts of heavenly products, but what I lean toward is the shea (can you say moisturizing?) line. Such as the shea hair masque. Rich, rich, rich, it smells like vanilla, goes on like cream, and hydrates like crazy with aloe vera. But be aware. When you wear it, take heed of the of the warning I gave yesterday when talking about the clay mask!
Now, if you want a styling product, they also have a shea hair cream. Smooth it on and say buh bye frizzies.

hey great post! I will definitely look out for those products next time I visit the health food store.
I was curious if you knew of any hair dye products that were all-natural. I am only in my 20s, but I am starting to get grays, and was wondering if you knew of any.
Alas, as far as I can tell, all permanent hair dye works on degrees of bad, from really bad (think drugstore varieties) to less bad but still not great (think Whole Foods and brands like Tints of Nature).
Your only other option is henna. People seem to either love it or hate it. And, of course, the color selection is tiny (typically, an Egyptian henna will turn your hair red).
Let me know what you do and how it turns out. I’m looking for some color, too.
Cheers!
o, henna. I never really considered using it for hair dye until you mentioned it just now. I love the reddish look, so that might work for me. I’ll definitely give it a try and let you know! Thanks for the tip!
