“Do you have a great shampoo and conditioner recommendation?”
That is one of thee most frequent questions I get asked as a green beauty blogger. Shampoo and conditioner are always a tough one for many reasons but for me it’s the fact that the majority of them leave my hair feeling really oily and weighed-down. Needless to say, I was really psyched to find out that after years of experimentation and research, True Botanicals was finally releasing a shampoo and conditioner. I’m really picky about my hair care products so I was really crossing my fingers that I’d love it and I do, I do! It’s my new Holy Grail. Below are some reasons why I think you will, as well.
IT LATHERS
I’m not sure how long you’re in this gorgeous world of green beauty, but one of the things you might have found is that many of the shampoos out there don’t lather…at all. The TB shampoo is completely different as it gives a super-rich and hearty lather, and you only need a little bit to get it. True Botanicals is known for their use of the highest-quality ingredients and from what I’m told, they use an incredibly expensive coconut surfactant for the richest lather that many companies are only using in very small quantities.
THE SMELL
The smell of the shampoo and conditioner is an uplifting, bright, fresh, happy herbal scent. When I first applied some to my hair my initial thought was, “Oh, this smells so GREEN!” Both the shampoo and conditioner smell like a super-sweet, fresh-cut lawn and I just love breathing it in. I can’t imagine you could ever be in a bad mood when you’re massaging this into your scalp.
THE EFFECTS
I am going to recommend that you use both the shampoo and conditioner together because I just think they go so perfectly well together, but I can tell you that they would be great by themselves, too.
The shampoo’s results:
- Super clean hair
- Adds subtle body without any frizz (I noticed this right away)
- Won’t weight hair down
- Strengthens the hair so well…this is another thing I noticed immediately
- Softens and smoothes
- Great for ALL hair types including dry, damaged and color treated
- Key ingredients are Green Tea Oil, Meadowfoam seed oil, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder and coconut-derived cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine
- Created without the use of sodium benzoate, phenoxyethanol or parabens.
The conditioner’s results:
- Softens the hair
- Won’t weight it down (big, big issue with me and green conditioners)
- Smells fresh and clean
- You only need very little to condition the hair
- No oily feel
- Leaves the hair really shiny and silky
- Moisturizes
- Key ingredients are Aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder, Green Tea Oil, Shea butter, Macadamia Ternifolia seed oil
THE PACKAGING
I love the packaging. The shampoo and conditioner are housed in aluminum, which I love so much more over plastic. I’m hoping they will offer refills in the future as it is so sturdy and perfect for the shower. I am sold! If you have any questions for me, let me know in the comments.
Shampoo $30, conditioner is $32. Get them on the True Botanicals website.
