Holy Grail Hair Products: Conditioner - Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil

Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about my current holy grail conditioner, the Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner. This stuff works magic on my damaged hair. Lately I've been thinking about growing out my hair, but it seems to do so quite slowly, and I am almost positive that it is due to my hair being extremely unhealthy due to a lack of hair care on my part. I haven't had my natural hair colour in a few years, and my ends are crazy dry. I had been using this when I had accidentally bleached and therefore completely dried out and killed my hair, and it helped protect my hair and make it at least feel like I hadn't fried the bejeezus out of it. So, I decided to try it out again. And it is everything I could want for my hair. It leaves my hair feeling silky smooth, smelling heavenly, and the argan oil really just makes my hair look and feel a lot healthier.

To use it, you apply it to your hair concentrating on the ends and leave it for 3-5 minutes. I wash my body or shave while I'm waiting for it to sink it. I like to run my fingers through my hair to take out any knots I have as I find my hair a lot easier to work with while I have the conditioner in.

I have definitely noticed that my hair has taken to growing a bit faster than usual, which shows that my hair is slowly regenerating, in part to not washing it and stripping it every day, but also because of this bad boy. If you have dry or damaged hair, or even just normal hair and want silky smooth locks - this is for you. You can buy it at your local drugstore, and was $9.99 at my local grocery store. The only downside I have noticed is that for the price you don`t get that much product, which means spending more money over time, but the results are definitely worth it!

Have you tried any of the organix shampoos or conditioners? What were your thoughts?

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

New Conditioner!

Hello everyone. Since I failed my first goal of being awake before noon today, I was unable to complete my original post for today. However! You will be getting TWO posts tomorrow, and I thought I would slip in this little post to tide you over :)

So, I'm not very adventurous when it comes to shampoo and conditioner because my hair is very picky - so many shampoos and conditioners have left my hair greasier than when I went into the shower. However, I am almost out of my Tresemme 24HR body conditioner, and so when I was in the store the other day, I quickly scanned the conditioners and found this one, the Pantene Aqua Light Weightless Nourishment Conditioner. I have heard good things about this conditioner in a youtube video, which I can't remember for the life of me, and so I thought I would pick it up. It sounds lovely - and the no-weight claim makes me believe that it won't leave my hair feeling greasy. So! I will let you know how it goes in the future! I'm super excited to try it!

Here are the ingredients and a closer look at the front of the bottle:

Battle of the Dry Shampoos: Julep vs Batiste

Okay guys, I am the worst blogger ever, I skipped out on two days of blogging, and now I'm not even doing what I promised! Don't hate, this girl needs to find a job! Seriously, I am eventually going to run out of things to talk about if I can't feed my newly found makeup, beauty and fashion obsession! I have been busy trying to piece together boyfriend bits, and trying to find a job in January which seems to be impossible, so I have been busy! But, I am back with a post today, and decided to talk about the two dry shampoos I own - Batiste Dry Shampoo (Original) and Julep Invisible Dry Shampoo. I personally started using dry shampoo because my hair gets super oily really quickly, and I wanted to start showering every second night so I could take better care of my hair. And since using dry shampoo, my hair does seem a lot thicker and fuller, and quite a bit healthier as I'm not constantly stripping it with regular shampoo! So, onto the dry shampoos!

I am going to talk about Julep Invisible Dry Shampoo, because it was the first one I purchased. When I got this, my first reaction was 'Alright! An invisible dry shampoo!', and then I used it, and was a bit disappointed. I found it left my hair feeling almost too clean. The texture of my hair just felt... odd. So I used it on the days that I really needed it, but usually still wore my hair in a bun or some other hairstyle that hid my most of my hair. Then I bought Batiste and put this away for quite awhile. However, I decided to give it another go awhile ago, and I have a new found love for it. One, the invisible part is a plus. I don't have to spend five minutes trying to brush out powder which is a bonus. And although it leave my hair feeling a bit "too clean" still, it looks fine, and I can back-comb my hair to give it a bit of texture due to the lack lustre look of my hair after using it. I also love the smell, which is a huge plus.

I bought the Original Scent Batiste Dry Shampoo mainly because of the amount of praise it has received, but also because my alma mater's drug store had it stocked. (Well, this was the last bottle of it.) It has it's pros and cons. but overall, it did live up to my expectations. I love that it gives my hair a bit of texture and volume, and I often use it the morning after a shower when styling for a bit of extra oomph. It also makes me hair feel a bit healthier, which is nice. However, if I'm not careful, I get way too much powder in my hair, and I end up having to wet my hair a bit to desperately try to remove my new full head of grey hair. Overall, however, it does a nice job of removing the extra oil in my hair in between showers, and when I'm in a rush. I am almost out of this one, so I will definitely be purchasing another once I starting ringing in the $$$.

So, overall, I like them both, and they both serve me for different uses. Personally, if you want to keep your hair up on your in between days, and you'd rather a non-powdery dry shampoo, choose the Julep. However, if you can cope with the powder formula, and you want some extra texture, and the ability to wear your hair down, choose Batiste.

If I were to narrow it down to my favourite, I would have to go with Batiste. Really, I'm not that disturbed by the powdery formula, and it really does more for my hair than the Julep.

The Julep Invisible Dry Shampoo can be purchased on the Julep site for $22 or $17.50 for Mavens here.
The Batiste Dry Shampoo (Original) can be purchased on Amazon for $8.19 here.

Have you tried either of these dry shampoos? What were your thoughts? Any dry shampoo recommendations?
