I have very dry thick coloured hair, which is more coarse than it used to be – quite grey under the colour. Is there a shampoo and conditioner that is truly natural, free of all nasties, and ultra nourishing?
A Firstly, our very best wishes for becoming a mother. And secondly, we will try to help with your dilemma about natural hair products for your demanding mane!
In the consumer trials for our latest book, The Ultimate Natural Beauty Bible, the only shampoo that gained very good reviews from our ten-woman tester panels and is also certified organic for 82.7% of ingredients was Green People Intensive Repair Shampoo, £11.95 for 200ml.
One tester commented: ‘My hair is in very good condition, more manageable and definitely looks better – I’d recommend this as I’ve used a lot of shampoos over time but this one is the best, and I’ve already purchased another bottle. It’s a real winner for me. There is a matching Intensive Repair Conditioner at the same price, which you can use as a conditioning treatment: just wrap your hair in a towel and leave for ten minutes plus.
Another range you could explore is the Harmonic products from Intelligent Nutrients, developed by the late great pioneer of natural hair care Horst Rechelbacher, the original founder of Aveda.
We also love the Phylia de M products from Victoria Health, which are super-natural and effective, although they may not be nourishing enough for your hair type at the moment.
You could also look at Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Hair Treatment, £34.50 for 100ml. You warm this solid oil/balm, which contains ojon oil, tonka bean, vetiver and benjoin, and then apply straight to hair – and it really does what it says on the label.
Beauty Bible loves ? Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss
Unless you pay absolutely no heed whatsoever to make-up fashions, you’ll have noticed that this is The Season of the Lip.
But few lip products come with the glamour of new Rouge Allure Gloss, with surely the sexiest packaging E-V-E-R.
The ‘tube’ is a bit Krypton Factor, if you’ve never used a Rouge Allure lipstick – because to get into it, you need to click the double-C logo on the end of this sleek bit of black kit.
But then pull out the gold wand, and what you’ve got is one of the richest, most vibrant lip glosses we’ve ever tried. And along with the super-high levels of pigment, there are lip-caring ingredients including matcha green tea butter (yes, that’s a new one to us, too), and vitamin E. So it actually feels comfortable – yet has good staying power.
There are 10 permanent shades altogether, from nude 11 Sensuel through to deep rouge-noir-ish Distinction, but pretty much everything in between. (You’ll also find one limited edition shade, 20 Audace, which is a deep brown-y pink.)
We’re sold on the very, very daring 19 Pirate: a fabulous deep red. Yes, it requires courage. Bold, for sure. But utterly Autumn 2014, in every way.
So we’re throwing down the red lip gauntlet. Let us know how you get on. £26, nationwide.
