Olsson Hair - Care Products

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’ve found that sometimes our head can start feeling more sensitive and irritated than usual. With constant heat styling and always trying new products, it doesn’t surprise us, but that doesn’t mean we enjoy it. Luckily, we’ve found relief with the hair products from Olsson Hair Care, since they cleanse and nourish our hair without damage.

The products are free of allergens, parabens and colour, so they are perfect for those with allergies or sensitivity to beauty products. This doesn’t mean the products lack quality, since they still give hair volume and moisturisation while deep cleansing strands and calming the scalp. They do not have a strong scent like many other products do, so you don’t need to worry about irritating fragrances either.

We gave the shampoo and conditioner a try, and we absolutely loves how the products have treated our hair. With constant styling recently I have been suffering with an irritated scalp, and when I used the shampoo and conditioner, I felt instant relief. At the same time, my chic hairstyle stayed voluminous and glamorous.

Check out the full range of Olsson products here, where you’ll find the sensitive care shampoo and conditioner for £14.99 each.

O'Right - RECOFFEE Range

Here at The Amazing Blog, we know how much of a difference a good hair day can make. When your hair looks great, you feel great, and often a pretty style starts with a proper cleanse and condition. That’s why we love the RECOFFEE range from O’Right.

These hair products are made from natural ingredients, which work together to cleanse while locking in moisture so your hair looks smooth and silky. Both products contain Recoffee Oil, which boasts a plethora of hair-loving antioxidants, so it’s super beneficial for your hair. Additionally, it’s free from parabens and other harmful ingredients, so your hair will be in tip top condition after use. As well as conditioner, the collection consists of a Moisturising and Volumising Shampoo, depending on what your hair needs are. We tried the Moisturising Shampoo on our dry, heat ravaged locks, and we really noticed a difference. It lathers well and won’t irritate your eyes if you happen to get any suds in them while you’re washing. The bottles are also biodegradable, a great concept which will reduce your carbon footprint, so the environment will benefit while you hair stays looking fabulous.

Pick up the RECOFFEE Conditioner here for £22, and the RECOFFEE Moisturising Shampoo here for £19.95 and get ready to show off your gorgeous locks.

Argania - Hair & Skin Products

Though the members of The Amazing Blog staff each have a mutual love for all things beauty, we also embrace the unique and wide array of skin and hair types we have in the office. As soon as Argania sent us their entire hair and skin collection, we were enthusiastic to experiment with each and every product.

The samples we received included the Desert Defence Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner, the Cashmere Hair Leave-in Conditioner Spray, the Perfect Texture Salt Spray and the Conditioning Body Oil. Such a bounty for our sun drenched tresses and skin!

We were pleased to find out that each product does in fact treat all kinds of different types of hair and skin. The Desert Defence Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner worked wonders on our co-worker with afro-caribbean hair, for it both restored her natural curl pattern and softened her hair. The Perfect Texture Salt Spray was able to give a lot of body to staff members with thinner locks, along with making it smell sweet and delicious. Finally, we all loved the Conditioning Body Oil for its wonderful vanilla scent and ability to be absorbed so quickly. Overall, the entire collection of Argania products was appreciated in our office, because they worked so well across a large spectrum of hair and skin.

The Argania Collection is made using 100% organic Argan Oil with no added parabens or sodium lauryl sulphate. You can pick up these amazing products here, starting at £7.99.

Crabtree & Evelyn - Verbena & Lavender de Provence Shampoo & Conditioner

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Crabtree & Evelyn.  Having featured many of their wonderful offerings in the past, we were delighted when they sent over their Verbena & Lavender de Provence Shampoo & Conditioner for us to try.  Following the success of their Verbena & Lavender Bath and Body Collection, we knew we were in for a treat, and these freshly scented products had us itching for our next shower.

Being such seasoned shampoo testers, we are aware that it’s often difficult to find a shampoo that doesn’t leave your locks feeling a little parched. Thankfully, both the shampoo and conditioner are formulated with moisturising glycerin, as well as lavender and lemon extract, helping to gently nourish the hair. The shampoo lathers to produce a wonderfully light and easy to wear fragrance, reminiscent of the idyllic French countryside. Those familiar with the popular perfume of their Bath & Body Collection will recognise two of the region's iconic natural scents, with French lemon verbena and lavender essential oils offering a beautifully fresh and uplifting aroma. The conditioner provided the perfect follow up to its cleaning counterpart, helping to detangle those stubborn knots, delivering the perfect dose of moisture without adding any weight to our delicate tresses.

Crabtree & Evelyn are definitely onto a winner with their new Verbena & Lavender de Provence Shampoo & Conditioner, which you can purchase for £12.00 each. You can also browse all of Crabtree & Evelyn’s products here. We’re also pleased to report that for every Verbena & Lavender product sold during September, Crabtree & Evelyn will donate at least £1 to Macmillan Cancer Support!

Naturalmente

Here at The Amazing Blog , we are very passionate about beauty products that are natural and are made sustainably. Naturalmente is high end salon haircare brand with an extensive range of natural shampoos, conditioners and styling products, and the good news is they are now available for consumer purchase, so you can get salon quality hair at home. Not only are these luxurious haircare products natural, but they are also environmentally friendly and the whole range is biodynamic. Biodynamic agriculture was first developed in the 1920’s, and essentially means that everything in the production process has been done ethically and ecologically, preventing harm to the environment. All the sourcing of the ingredients in the shampoos, conditioners, and stlying range has been done sustainably, limiting Naturalmente's environmental impact.

The Naturalmente range is based on natural ingredients, using mainly botanics to create their wide range of products. The shampoos contain ingredients such as Aloe, Sandlewood and Fennel Geranium, and conditioners use Yogurt and Millet, which are much better for your hair as there is no nasty chemicals such as parabens, alcohol and fragrance. As the products are naturally based, they cover all hair and scalp types, so there is a product to keep everyone happy. Each product contains specific natural ingredients blended to target various hair issues, so there is a shampoo for every need that you might have.

While the products do not contain any added fragrances or parfum, they boast wonderful natural fragrances from the ingredients used, particularly from the essential oils. We really love that the natural fragrances are very unisex, so with that in mind, we think that these products are bathroom essentials, and the  perfect space saver in your bathroom. The packaging reflects all things natural, with its simple and earthy colours and soft bottles. This is all rather fitting, seeing as the packaging is all  100% biodegradable as well, fitting in with the brands environmental ethos.

I myself have coloured hair so I have been using the Anti-oxidant shampoo and conditioner and the smell is amazing, as it’s so unlike any other shampoo or conditioner I’ve used before. As the range is very natural I think it really helps the condition of my hair after I have it coloured, due to the natural oils which nourish and revitalise the hair.

If you want to get your hands on any of the Naturalmente collection, then you can find out more information about their product range and environmental ethos on the Naturalmente website, and you can purchase the haircare products from Gentle Bodycare where all 250ml shampoo and conditioners are £9 each, another reason why we love them!
