Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash Review

My daughter is one that does not like to take a shower nor a bath.  She is nearly ten, and it is often still a struggle to get her to use shampoo and body wash.  I was very pleased to get the opportunity to review Dial Kids Body and Hair Wash.  Since she is over age six, I had her try out the appropriate one for her age, and I asked her to give me her honest opinion.  Guess what--she loved it!  It was so easy to have one product that does two things.  It smelled good, too.

Now, being the mother that I am, I decided to try it, too.  And it was better than I thought it would be.  It was gentle on my skin, and my hair was nice and clean.  I had to condition my hair afterwards, but as far as my hair getting clean, it worked.

So if you are looking for a great product for your kids to streamline the shower/bath time, take a look at Dial for kids products.  Be sure to follow them on facebook, twitter, and youtube as well.  Watch out for a giveaway coming up soon as well!

I was sent free products in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

NAAT Brazilian Keratin Hair Care Products Review

I am quite pleased to tell you about a wonderful company that makes high-quality hair products.  Introducing
NAAT Brazilian Keratin hair collection by nuNAAT..  Its unique ingredients both  restore and intensify the hair's nutritional balance. Their signature Green Keratin formula stays in your hair longer and doesn't rinse out easily.  I got to review the following products:

• NAAT Brazilian Keratin Daily Care Shampoo
• NAAT Brazilian Keratin Daily Care Conditioner
• NAAT Brazilian Keratin Intensive Hair Mask
• NAAT Brazilian Keratin Liquid Keratin Leave-In Reconstructor
• NAAT Brazilian Keratin Serum Ultra Shine

First of all, I decided that in order to try these magnificent products, I wanted my hair to be as "yucky" as possible.  I used two days worth of heavy hair gel and hair spray.  I figured that the more "goop" in the hair, the better I could see how well it works.

I have a before and after picture of my hair, so here goes.

That is my "nasty" head of hair.  While it may not look too bad, trust me!  It was very noisy and dirty.  Every time I moved it, it made noise, and it didn't like to move very well.  It felt horrible.

I think you can see the difference.  This is after using the shampoo, conditioner, and serum.  I was impressed with all the products.  They cleaned well, and I can't remember the last time my hair had felt so clean and soft!  And it was indeed lasting.  I also enjoyed using the hair dryer with the serum as it said.  It's always nice to use products that actually use the hair dryer to their benefit.  My hair was so easy to style after using these.

I also wanted to make sure I had a chance to use the reconstructor.

I love the way my hair turned out!  I had been using the shampoo and conditioner for a little while, and then I tried the recontructor.  Again, I used the hair dryer with this product, and wow!

I finally did get a chance to try the Hair Mask.  I used it just before I took a shower, and i did not cover my hair like it said.  I just made sure that I didn't rub up against anything.  I rinsed it out, and although it certainly made my hair feel nice and soft, I didn't notice any major differences.  What I mean is that I have been using the other products, and my hair is now in really good shape.  It comes to mind that this should probably be the first thing you use when you start using this line of products.  If you have styled your hair a lot, and it is severely damaged, this is the perfect thing to restore your hair.  I am going to save it for when my hair is in really bad shape.

What I like to do is compare with my normal products when I am using something new.  So that is what I did.  I tried a couple different things I had been using previously, but my results were not (and are not) as good as this.  In fact, my poor hair was not nearly as soft and clean-feeling as when I used the nuNAAT products.  I thought I found good stuff before, but this seems to be even better!

I searched out their site to see where I can buy their products, and I was quite pleased to see a variety of choices.  For me, the online retailers are the best bet for me, and the prices are pretty good.  If interested, be sure to check out this part of the site.

Malibu Hard Water Natural Wellness Treatment Review

We live out in the country, and our water is provided by a well.  When our water was tested by the city, they told us that it was some of the hardest water they have ever encountered.  Our water is filtered, and we add softener, but our water is still often very hard.  I really have not thought about what this water does to my hair, and over the past few years we have lived here, I did not even notice what it was doing to my hair.  Yes, my hair was not as soft as it once had been, but I didn't think it was any big deal.

When I had the opportunity to review Malibu Hard Water Wellness Treatment, I began to think about the fact that this hard water we have in our house could have been affecting my hair.  When the packet arrived, I was rather intrigued.  I had never used a "powdered" shampoo on my hair.   I will admit that I did not read anything about this before I used it.  I can now say I am glad that this is an eco-friendly product, and it also removes the hard minerals from the water.

I got in the shower, and I followed the directions.  I opened the package, and after lathering it, I did leave it on the full amount of time--5 minutes.  I did not notice how fantastic the effects were until after I got out of the shower.  My hair was softer than it had been in ages!  I was able to brush through my hair, and it was so shiny!  I can say that even one application has made all the difference in the world.  My hair feels nice and clean, and I have decided this is something in which I need to invest.  You only have to use the application once a week, and since our water is not going to be getting softer any time soon, I am sold!

So, if your water tends to be hard, I invite you to check out their entire line of Malibu Hard Water Wellness Treatments.

Emu Oil Hair Growth Shampoo Review

Our Treasured Locks H2G Awaken Emu Oil Shampoo is a breakthrough product when it comes to hair and scalp health. Emu oil has been shown to improve circulation and reduce inflammation. These improvements to the scalp allow the scalp to grow stronger hair faster. Now get the benefits of Emu Oil in our salon grade Emu Oil Shampoo and Emu Oil Conditioner. For best results, use both products.

Our Emu Oil Shampoo helps hydrate hair and improve elasticity. These are two things that are vital to Black hair care. Black hair tends to be dry and brittle. That makes it fragile. Anything we can do to improve the moisture balance and to improve the elasticity means less breakage. Our Emu Oil Shampoo is especially beneficial if you perm your hair or use heat on your hair. Emu oil contains an array of Essential Fatty Acids that do wonders for your hair and scalp. That is why we include it in our Treasured Locks H2G Hair Growth Serum.

• Some of the benefits you can expect include:
• Faster growing hair- improves the health of sluggish hair follicles
• Shinier hair
• Stronger hair
• Reduced bacterial level on scalp (less itching and flaking)
• Less shedding
• Less scalp sensitivity
• Thicker hair

This was the shampoo I was privileged to try.  This is the first time I have ever used anything made with emu oil, and I was quite interested to see how it would work.  Let me first of all tell you a little about my hair.  

I have shoulder-length blonde hair, and it is pretty thick.  I don't have a problem with thinning hair.  I will say that I occasionally experience dry scalp, and since I began using this shampoo, I have had no issues with itchy scalp.  I don't have a sensitive scalp, but I do have a tendency to split ends.  I would say that my hair did not seem to break as easily since using this product.  Although this shampoo had some conditioning properties to it, I think that if I had been able to use the conditioner also, it would have helped.

I have to say that I did not like the consistency of this shampoo--way too thin.  I prefer shampoo that is a little bit thicker.  But it did lather well.  The smell was okay, but it took some getting used to.  The fragrance was a little strong.  However, it was nice to use something that was made from natural ingredients.  And something made in the U.S.!
