Herbaria -- total heaven!

 

 Herbaria Soaps http://www.herbariasoap.com/is a fabulous store that sells the best quality soap/personal care items, natural soaps included, I have ever used to date. I was introduced to Herbaria Soaps a few weeks ago and when I visited their site myself, oh sweet Jesus! It was like heaven. I love a good, quality, relaxing soap that's super safe, effective and leaves that amazing herbal clean scent behind. In fact, the herb stores are my favorite to visit because of their smell! My mom used to take us along with her on her trips to the herb store and I've always walked in inhaling. I love the scent. She'd buy all kinds of lovely herbal products including this lemon grass soap, and ever since those days, I've been in love. With both the soap and the herb store's scent. Oh how we loved our natural lemon grass soaps. One day though, they stopped carrying it and for years my mom and I have looked for a soap as good as that old bar of lemon grass. We've bought tons of herbal, natural soaps and many in lemon grass, but they never quite measured up. 

And now. That lemon grass soap I used as a kid has met... its... match! Holy sweet mother of pearl, I never thought I'd say it! Herbaria's bar soaps (and the deodorant, which I'll discuss too) has totally put every single other soap out there on the same level as dirt. I am now confident that there is nothing in the world as good and perfect and wonderful as Herbaria's impressive products! 

While I really was discussing the natural soap bars, I want to make a quick topic switch only because I've been so ecstatic about their spray deodorant that I can't think straight. So I'm going to tell you lovely people about the Lavender Deodorant from Herbaria Soaps. 

No, I'm not so ecstatic about the deodorant because I liked it better than the soaps, but the reason I'm so ecstatic over it is because it totally blew my mind as a deodorant, and I never liked anything besides my Dove, so I can't help but be a little crazy over Herbaria's liquid spray deo. I truly did not expect to like it.

I've been picky, picky about deodorants. I'm allergic to Suave, the majority of the deodorants on the market stink or either they mix with your sweat and really stink because they're not truly preventing odor/sweat. Or they just plain feel weird on. I'm a freak about any weird residue between my fingers or on my pits. 

When I seen the Lavender Deodorant was liquid spray, I'll admit, I expected to really not like it. Not because I didn't love the ingredients or believe it'd be effective really, but because I was just certain that it'd leave my pits feeling weird. When I've showered and waited a while to apply my deodorant, my skin on my arm pits feel weird. Sticky maybe? They just feel grabby or something. It's terribly hard to explain, but it will drive me to a blind rage. So being that the creamy bar of Dove is what I'm used to, I didn't think I could be satisfied with the feeling of my arm pit skin after using a spray deo. 

Holy dangit!  I am so glad I decided to give the natural Lavender Deodorant a try just for one night. See, I really wanted to try it badly, but was worried that I'd still have to apply my Dove in order to keep that weird feeling of no deodorant away. 

So I showered one night, and sprayed the Herbaria Lavender Deodorant about 4 times on each arm pit -- wanted to be sure I covered the entire surface. 

I was going to bed right away, but I always read until I fall asleep. This can last anywhere from 3 minutes to 4-5 hours, depending on how tired I am and how into the book I am. It was about 15 minutes before I fell asleep, but I went ahead and grabbed my Dove deo figuring I'd notice that weird no-deo feeling and need it. 

I woke up the next morning, and seeing the Dove deodorant made me remember -- I used the Lavender Deodorant and forgot all about deodorant! It didn't feel funny at all. I hadn't noticed anything really besides a comforting scent of Lavender. That feeling I get when I go with out deo, not the oh-my!-I'm-gonna-stink-now feeling, but the weird sticky-ish skin feeling -- never happened! Lavender Deodorant worked wonderfully.

So I had no hesitations in tossing my Dove to the bottom of my vanity and using the Lavender Deodorant. You know, when you make such a big change in a routine that you've been used to for years, it's hard! Just think about going from using toothpaste all your life to using soap! That is still tough. And the same goes with deodorant, for me anyway. You get used to the way a certain deodorant feels and then nothing else quite cuts it for you. 

I went on this hunt a while back looking for a natural deodorant after learning the serious and scary dangers of regular deo. Never could adjust to the one I tried. You guys remember me trying another really strong deo? I loved the strength of it, really, but it was tough because it felt funny and smelled manly. 

I was stuck on Dove. I've worn the same original Dove deo since high school. Once  I tried the scented version (grapefruit or something) and was furious when I kept smelling something funky and couldn't figure out who it was. Then I realized it was me. The same deodorant, just a different scent and it still drove me mad. So you see, I'm strictly a Dove girl and it's only because those minor things that make me crazy, that I just can't adjust to. Until now! Forget Dove. Dove who? What Dove? 









What I figured, is the Herbaria Soaps natural Lavender Deodorant would certainly work for eliminating odor and likely to prevent perspiration, but I didn't think it'd work any better than your drugstore brand. I honestly expected mediocre. I knew the benefits of switching to a natural deo would be huge in terms of health and all, but I just didn't think it'd be easy to adjust to. Sorry to keep on like that, but I'm really so impressed with it that it's hard not to.

After about a week of using the Lavender Deodorant, I noticed something... It was making me sleepy! When I first applied it, which is after showering and before bed, I'd get sleepier quicker than usual. And I've figured out that it's the Lavender in the Deodorant! It only makes me relaxed and sleepy when I'm already tired at the end of the day. The next day, while still having the application from previously, it doesn't affect me. 

So, a few days ago, I'd shaved my arm pits too roughly and decided to use the dove deo instead so that it wouldn't burn, although the aloe in the Lavender Deo would've been better because it soothers and all, but you get my point. I'd began having trouble sleeping and it kept happening for three days in a row, I'd sleep a few hours and wake up and not be able to go back to sleep at all until several hours later, which is bad because that much time passes and it's time for me to get to work and get a move on. So I'd be exhausted by that time. I go through these weird spells about every 3-4 months where I'll spend a week exactly only sleeping for 4-5 hours, no more and no less and then not being able to go back to sleep for the life of me. It's been happening for a few years and it's so weird. I've no idea what it is, but it always happens around 3-4 months and I always get 4-5 hours of sleep. Same exact patterns and everything. 

When I began this faze of no sleep again this week, I was dreading it because I knew it'd screw up my entire week. The third day though, when I woke up and knew the routine I'd deal with for hours, I remembered how it seemed the Lavender Deodorant made me sleepy. So I sprayed my pillows and bed with it, and I'm telling you, I yawned immediately and was passed out in less than 20 minutes! Slept for a good 5 hours too! So I've been doing that everyday this week, and things are back on track. This is the first "phase" I've had that didn't last exactly a week! How awesome? I've even tried chamomile teas and all kinds of things. Sleeping pills for crying out loud. It never worked if I was having one of those phases, but this Lavender has really been a God-send. I'm back to normal and doing fine.

Now, besides the alternative use I found for it, let's discuss more about it.

Remember I mentioned how I shaved and worried about the spray burning? It does feel cool and a little noticeable at first if I use it after shaving too close, but it lasts for less than 30 seconds, and I don't have the rawness the next day when I've used the Lavender Deodorant. I'll only feel the tingly sensation when I first spray it on after shaving and then I won't notice any other signs of razor burn. I have the aloe Vera to thank for that. Herbaria really knows what they're doing with ingredients! You guys know how I take my aloe seriously. I was even recommending it to a friend today. I'm happy to have aloe in any product, even if it's just eating the plant -- which has been a miracle for my stomach issues.

So, no worries about razor bumps or razor burn. You won't sting and be raw when using the Lavender Deodorant. It's all natural ingredients, and yes, the alcohol is what causes the slight cool/tingly right after shaving, but it's more soothing than anything once it's dried.

Guess what else is wonderful, besides the fact that you're no longer putting extremely harmful chemicals into your skin when you choose to go with Lavender Deo from Herbaria -- no more white deo stains on your clothing! That's right. 

The Lavender Deodorant is a slightly off clear color, it has a yellowish tint to it, but is mostly clear and is liquidy like water, hence the spray bottle. So it won't stain your clothing at all. It won't leave your arm pit folds filled with white clumps. It's not noticeable to the touch or eye. Your skin feels softer and there's a chance your pits won't endure as much irritation from everyday habits or just your clothing.

Why is the all-natural Herbaria Deodorant Better than others?

-No faux fragrance oils! That is why the scent of the lavender made me so relaxed that I could sleep. It's real essential oil, which I say is just awesome. It's a rare thing to find a company like Herbaria.

-Don't forget, essential oils have been used in Ayurveda and for home remedies for thousands of years because each, including lavender essential oil have their own special properties - such as the lavender relaxing me, relieving anxieties, helping you sleep, etc. It's been said that in the old, old, old days people used to spray their sleeping areas with lavender essential oil to ensure a good night's sleep and some even believed it warded off nightmares. I can't say for sure if that's totally true though. I do have nightmares very frequently. Almost nightly. I actually haven't had but one this week though, so perhaps! 


-Since Herbaria's deodorant is in a spray, liquid form, it's going to likely last far longer than a stick of solid deodorant. I go through a stick in about 2 months, maybe three because I use it until it's totally empty. Herbaria's deodorant comes in both the 2oz. or 8oz. Judging by how little is gone from the bit I've used lately, I have a feeling it will outlast a deodorant stick by miles. I will have to update you guys when I actually have used so much of Herbaria's that it shows a smaller amount left. 

However, it will depend on how much you use. But if you're using a spray, even if you totally saturate your pits, you're not going to use more than 4 sprays at the most. I have used 3 before because I often don't get the nozzle aimed correctly, but two suffice when I do. 2 sprays will cover my entire arm pit surface perfectly.

When I'm using the stick deodorant, I swipe it up and down my arm pits about 6 times to get enough there.

-Aloe Vera has a soothing and many other benefits. People with any/all skin conditions benefit greatly from applying aloe, and since Herbaria uses natural, you can expect to see soothing, softer skin, less irritation, etc. 

Also, even better, Aloe has antibacterial properties and sort of acts like a natural antibiotic, so certain conditions could improve greatly and this also ensures less bacteria and odor! 

-No rubbing alcohol, Herbaria uses denatured grain alcohol. Don't even think about drinking it now! Ha. Ha. But it's much safer. 





Fragrance
Herbaria's Deodorants are all natural. They come in different scents, which means different scents contain different essential oils, since Herbaria does not use those awful synthetic fragrances, but essential oils which like we talked about, are so far much better! This one, clearly is the Lavender, which produces a long-lasting, clean and relaxing aroma of lavender. It's a beautiful smell. It's a tad strong for the first minute, but quickly turns into a light, subtle scent that you notice every so often like when lifting your arm, and it's the kind of scent that perks your ears and makes you smile when catching a whiff. I do love that about this, and that's something no other deodorant can offer.

Oh, I was going to tell you what scents are offered: Lavender, Key Lime and Vetiver. I'm assuming they all smell fantastic! 

While you guys may be thinking these are women-only fragrances, don't be deterred! The Lavender could certainly be used on a male without smelling overly feminine. It's simply an herbal-y, lavender scent, which is neither masculine or feminine. It's not what I'd call florally, but fresh indeed. It wouldn't hurt to try it. I know I wouldn't think anything if I got a whiff of a man wearing this particular scent of deo. The other scents will work for men as well.


Entire Ingredients:

Grain alcohol (denatured with lavender (Lavendula officinalis) Essential oil  (SDA38B-LAV), Aloe vera, distilled water, Lavendar Essential oil (Lavendula), Patchouli Essential oil (pogostemon cablin).



How it compares in other ways to regular stick deo

I'm sure someone out there is still wondering about just how this holds up compared to your regular strong deo. I can say one thing: if you're used to using any drugstore bought deodorant, male or female, the Lavender Deodorant will surely exceed the strength, durability and be longer lasting. I don't think there's a brand I've not used, and this by far exceeds any drugstore brand in numerous ways. 

I'm not a huge sweater, but I have light perspiration, and it seems when I'm really cold, it's happens just as if I'm hot.. With my Dove for example, I can wear it, then tan later and I'm absolutely going to smell funky a little at least. Happened just the other day when I used the Dove again. It's not like the strong BO, but there's a light bit of sweat odor mixed with my Dove and it smells bad when it's mixed because the dove scent becomes sweet and bitter -- just not pleasant. 

Herbaria's Lavender deo will hold up through my tanning bed session without me ever smelling of sweat afterwards. I've yet to have any odor or perspiration while wearing it, except I did sweat a little while tanning, but other than that, I've been able to wear it and not shower for 30 hours and still have no odor at all. 


Herbaria is a  wonderfully amazing company! I am totally sold soap wise and deo-wise. I know I didn't manage to mention how the soap works out today, but stay awake because I will in the next day or two. I, however, can say that I absolutely love their soaps too, so if you're anxious about those and are considering purchasing any of their soap at all -- don't hesitate. I'd give their soaps, just like their deo a 10/10 and am sure that both products are far better than anything else. This is coming from someone who has been using Olivella, which stinks to high heavens as you remember me saying. So yes, I even recommend Herbaria over Olivella -- the benefits of Herbaria's ingredients exceed those of Olivella. If you have eczema, skin irritations/conditions, go with their oatmeal bar, but all of their soaps will be fabulous for any skin issues. So, there's you a brief for now. I'll be bringing you loads of really exciting, outstanding information about Herbarias' soaps asap!


Much love, cleanliness, health and... soaps and deodorants! Smell lovely and remember to laugh, laugh, laugh!

Laventel Butters and Salts

 From the left, I have a lovely bath salt from Lavental called Kama Sutra. In the middle there is another Lavental lovely bath salt that goes by the name of Scarlet. Last, but certainly not least is one of Laventel's fabulous hand and foot  butters called Cozy Rosy.

   Most Laventel products are available in both 4oz and 8 oz containers. I have the 8oz tins and they come with plenty of salt/butter in them. The salts will last me through many baths and the butter will last for a good month, if using every day.

  Laventel is a lovely Etsy shop ran by Andra Krüger. I  enjoy sharing a bit about the company in my reviews so that you guys get a better idea, a more personal feel of a company. Below I have copied and pasted her bio straight from her shop:

"The sense of smell has intrigued me for as long as I could remember.  Ever since I was a little girl, when all the other kids wanted to be doctors and flight attendants, I was dreaming of having my own florist, where I could mix oils and fragrances.  As I grew older, other interests made their way into the equation and after high school I went on to study Pharmacy at the North-West University in Potchefstroom, South-Africa where my interest in chemistry probed me to continue my studies and I eventually completed a Masters and a Ph.D in pharmaceutical chemistry.

I worked in an academic environment doing epilepsy clinical research for 5 years, worked as a pharmacist in a large government funded hospital in Johannesburg, and then my life took a 180 degree turn: I met my husband who is American.  We have been living in Maryland for a year now, and it took me a while to realize that the path I was on, was not my dream.  I combined my love for fragrances and chemistry, and started experimenting with different scents and ingredients, and I am very proud to say after six months after a lot of experimenting, and combining influences of both South Africa and America, I am introducing my first 7 products.  Welcome to my passion!"

 -Andra  Krüger

Impressive, huh? I can say, Laventel's butters and salts are just as impressive as the owner's bio. 

Let's start with my favorite of the three, the Cozy Rosy hand and foot butter. 

With all the body butters I have used, and reviwed, this has to be the most unique of all. The texture of it is what I find so different from most. In my opinion, a body butter has a certain feel to it. Unfortunately, most butters are just lotion in a tub! That downright depresses me. I like a rich, thick, creamy, smooth, highly moisturizing, skin glowin, highlightin' heavy duty butter! Am I picky or what? 

While I have had some darn good body butters, I haven't had any that kept me quite as moisturized and glowy as Cozy Rosy. Even better, I normally hate rose scented products--they bother my sinuses--but this smells really nice. Unlike that funky synthetic "rose" scent you may be used to smelling in drugstores, this is a light floral scent. Not particularly rosy to my nosy! Ha Ha. Now how'd you like how I just came up with that rhyme as I typed? My nose detects a subtle floral scent with a hint of lemon--delicious!

Cozy Rosy is thick! It's rich. It's luxurious, and most of all, it's intensively moisturizing to my dry, tanned skin. Cracked, extremely dry skin will love this butter. It's labeled "hand and foot" butter, but it works like a dream on elbows and dry legs too. I loved the sheen it gives my freshly tanned legs! 

Cozy Rosy also works wonderfully for cuticles. If you're a nail artist like me, you probably appreciate a product that moisturizes and makes the cutting of cuticles easier, with less hang nail. I really was pleased with Cozy Rosy as a cuticle softener. Plus, it left my manicured customers and myself with really smooth nail beds/hands!

Since Cozy Rosy has such a thick, rich and somewhat greasy texture, slathering it on and then rinsing your hands leaves the softest feel without any sticky, icky or greasy residue left behind. 

 Cozy Rosy contains Rooibos tea extract, has  All natural ingredients, no harsh chemicals or preservatives.  

  *Rooibos Tea Extract contains antioxidants, which in turn benefits your skin by preventing signs of aging as well as promoting healing.

                            BATH  SALTS

 As shown in my photos, I have both Kama Sutra and Scarlet bath salts. The salts and the butter all came packaged in a sweet, reusable tin that has a screw-on lid! Yes, a screw-on lid, not a push down lid! Those tins that you just push the lid down on tend to collect water from the shower or spill out easily, so I truly appreciated the nice screw-on lid. The packaging is nice, gift-friendly and if I remember corrrectly, it seems there were adorable little bumble bee stickers holding tissue wrap onto the tins. Very lovely.

Scarlet Bath Salt is made with epsom salts, which have been used around here--on the mountains in Georgia--for ages to promote healing, heal skin ailments, bruises, and much more. Around here, folks use epsom salts as an affordable "bathtub luxury" as well as constipation relief! Yes, that's the lovely country I live in. Wouldn't trade this place for the world. 

Anyways, now you know that the epsom salts in this Laventel product will do you some good. Scarlet bath salt is labeled as a product that will help relieve PMS symptoms. Being someone who suffers from literally almost every reproductive system ailment under the sun, including, but not limited to: endometriosis, PMS, PMDD, I can certainly appreciate that little bit of help. It just so happens that this week is my ugly week and you bet your sweet behiney I've been a' using Scarlet in my bath! Whether or not it's my larger intake of aloe plant or the Scarlet that's helped my mood and pain, I cannot tell for sure, but I feel much different than I normally do. I haven't had my cranky pants on half as much as usual, less pain and less irritability! Scarlet, you may be a winner! Either way, combine Scarlet with your aloe plant and you just might feel like a spring chicken. I can't really tell you what Scarlet smells like. It's a very subtle, fruity scent.

As for Kama Sutra Bath Salts, they smelled to me like a perfume from Aftelier. I can't tell you which one because I can't remember, but it's unique, subtle and lovely. I would call it somewhat floral, but I have a hard time really putting my finger on this one.

At Laventel shop, the description says that the inspiration of Kama Sutra's scent came from the Taj Mahal. Interesting.  It has notes of jasmine, sweet citrus. I cannot exactly notice those scents so much. 

Maybe you can see this glowy tan I speak of in this picture here?

I must say that all 3 of these lovely bath products are nice and I cannot get enough of that butter! It makes my feet look wonderful and my legs too. It really brings out my glowy tan after a day in the sun. I truly encourage ya'll to check Laventel out for yourself. You'll see that the prices for the all-natural prodcuts are beyond affordable and very much worth it--and that's coming from the biggest cheapie on the planet! I like affordable, as you know so when I call something "worth the money" and "affordable," you can bet your sweet behiney it is! 

So much love,

Kendra

 

Herbal pH Balanced shampoo. My little miracle!

 Go ahead, prepare yourself! I might get a little crazy here. Bear with me. Deeeep breath. In and out. In and out. Inhale... exhale. Repeat and then proceed to scroll!

  I'll start with the bottle of Chere-Mere shampoo (the bottle you see on the left side). It's the Herbal Shampoo with extracts of rachette, aloe vera and tea tree oil. You guys have probably heard (or read) me rave about the benefits of aloe vera and tea tree oil. I've talked about using them for infection like yeast infection, for digestive problems (aloe) and even skin. However, did you know it was even amazing for your hair?! I have used pure tea tree oil in my hair for itching and such, but I've never used Rachette extract or Aloe Vera in my hair. 

  Chere-Mere's Herbal Shampoo is in one word: miraculous! I have never in my life used a shampoo that had such an impact (a good one anyways) on my hair! 

  I have used almost every single drug store hair shampoo available. I've used the expensive crap, I've used the cheap crap and everything in between. I've even used some natural shampoo. Some of them made my hair oily, some dry and some made it tremendously hard to work with and the natural shampoo comes to mind when I say that. However, I've never had my hair feel and look the way it does after using Chere-Mere's shampoo!

  I know you're dying to know why I'm raving. I'll get to that. First I want to just state a few of the benefits of some of the ingredients in this herbal shampoo. 

 -Tea Tree Oil : It's amazing for about anything. My mom kept Tea Tree Oil in the house always while I was growing up. It's always on hand. It's great for bug bites, dandruff, infections, cuts, etc. So, having it in the herbal shampoo will also help fight the itching and flaking in the winter. 

Rachette (Also known as prickly pear) I have heard (keep in mind, I heard this. I'm not 100% sure how accurate it is) that Rachette will help thicken hair and help growth. I'm not sure if that's true though. Quite frankly, my hair is amazing right now so I ain't one to question it!

  The bottle says this:

 " Cher Mere Herbal pH balanced shampoo is a scientific formulation of nature's herbs working together to clean and restore dry and damaged hair to its healthy state. Herbal extracts of rachette (cactus), aloe vera, sage, rosemary, nettle, tea tree oil, strengthen and condition hair to make it stronger and more beautiful."

 DIRECTIONS

Wet hair and apply small amount of shampoo, lather gently and rinse thoroughly. Repeat. Avoid contact with eyes. 

 INGREDIENTS:

Aqua (water), decyl glucoside, cocoamidopropyl betaine, aloe barbadensis, salvia officinalis (sage) oil, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) oil, melaleuca, alternifolia (tea tree) oil, propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea iodopropyynyl butylcarbamate, parfum (fragrance). 

 Pretty outstanding ingredients there! Fragrance can really be anything though, but this is a shampoo that's full of amazing ingredients! 

  It's clear in color, feels similar to a gel and won't lather as much as some shampoos like Herbal Essence, but it does a great job and lathers decently. I can say, it makes my hair feel cleaner than anything I've ever used on it.

  I thought and thought about this and I honestly cannot think of any hair type that wouldn't benefit from Cher Mere's herbal shampoo. It may work better on some hair, but your hair, no matter the type, will reap some kind of benefit. If your hair is extremely damaged and dry and poofy, it may take a bit longer to see extremely great results, but with regular use, it will happen. I have medium damage. I use a curling iron sometimes and I flat iron my entire head every day as well as use bleach for highlighting every 3 months. My hair is extremely bad when I wash it every day so I have to skip an evening of washing in between to help with that. If your hair is about the same as mine in the damage department, I'd recommend using Cher-Mere herbal shampoo and skipping between days. This is like a miracle! 

 Before using Cher-Mere, I was using Herbal Essence smooth shampoo and alternating between that and Herbal Essence's Straighten shampoo and using a shampoo to lighten my highlights with every wash. I did see some smoothing, but it felt more like it was slicking it to my scalp whereas Cher Mere's shampoo doesn't weight your hair down, but does smooth things out wonderfully while leaving some volume! Like I said, I skip every other day washing my hair due to the dryness and damage. My hair tends to start getting oily by the end of the next evening and my highlights look nasty, dull and orange the day I skip. It always leaves me feeling bad, but I can't wash it every single day because it leaves it like horse hair! I didn't expect that to change when I started using the Herbal Shampoo, but today was one of the days I had to skip washing and I was feeling nice and pretty with my slinky, pretty hair! My highlights looked beautiful! No greasy hair and no orange, dull highlights! It was awesome.

 As you'll notice in my photos, I'm in desperate need of a hair cut. It's been a few months since my last trim and it looks rough, but ignore that. I'll have it cut tomorrow and I thought tonight, right before washing again was the perfect time to take a photo. 

 My hair is naturally fluffy and curly, but not kinky. It's fine and sort of thick. If you have hair like mine, Cher-Mere will be a life saver! For kinky hair, I also think this would be great because after I straighten my hair, it seems so weightless! It feels light and silky, soft. Unlike anything I have ever felt my hair feeling like before... if that makes sense. Since I've been needing a trim, I've been wearing my hair up all the time because it looks awful at this strange length. It's right at that length where it gets kind of crinkled at the base of my neck and shoulders and even after straightening it, it gets this ugly... look. Not sure how to explain it, but it gets creases in it kind of. It starts flipping in all kinds of crazy directions from where it gets caught at my shoulders and neck. That's how to explain my situation. That's mostly why I wear it up. Since I started using Cher-Mere, I've worn it down every day! It hasn't been getting that weird flippin'-in-all-different-directions-style going on. I've no clue how this shampoo does this to me, but I love it!

 Another major plus? The time it takes to flat iron my puff has been cut in half! It's so much easier to iron and quicker. It glides right through my hair and straightens well. Usually it takes an hour. Lately, I can get it totally ironed in less than 30 minutes. Sometimes only 15!

  Would  I recommend the Herbal Shampoo? Abso-freaking-lutely! Not a doubt! I'd say this would work well for any hair type. I told B today that I don't know what I'd do without the shampoo now that I've had such wonderful hair. Going back to the other stuff wouldn't even cut for me! It's wonderful! A rave-worthy hair product that will be in my shower for as long as I can get my hands on it! There are very few hair products I've ever liked, much less raved about!
