Dr. Organic Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Restorative Treatment Conditioner | Review

Cold weather brings dry hair and having a good hydrating treatment is essential in keeping the hair shiny and healthy. I am always looking for a good hair mask/treatment. I do have my favourite picks and all but I like to try out new things. A while back I was invited to a Dr. Organic Event and when we got to choose the products we wanted to try this Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Restorative Treatment Conditioner was the first item I picked.

The Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Restorative Treatment Conditioner is a bioactive hair and scalp treatment. It has an excellent blend of organic oils and extracts which are formulated in such a way to provide a rich and concentrated conditioning balm, which instantly envelopes the keratin fibres found in the hair, with nourishing phospholipids and fatty acids. It nourishes and repairs damaged hair whilst increasing core strength to protect against breakage. The conditioner helps seal in vital moisture to damaged, dull, dry and fly away hair.

Moroccan Argan Oil is an incredibly rich source of vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Is has been used by women of the Mediterranean for centuries for both culinary delights and cosmetic purposed. It also works wonders for skin, hair and nails.

Having been a convert for argan oil for the past 2 years, I was way more than interested in trying this product. It is marketed a pre shampoo treatment. I think that this depends entirely on the state of your hair. My hair ends tend to be the driest and hence I tend to concentrate more product there. I do not apply it before shampoo, I prefer to use it as a deep conditioner/mask where I leave for 5-10 minutes, although you can certainly leave it more depending on your hair. Having said that, some people may find it a bit heavy on the hair, in which case I suggest using it as a pre shampoo treatment, which will still give the hair its moisture but to a lesser degree. I am quite sceptical when it comes to applying products on the scalp. Mine gets pretty bad build so I don’t apply heaps of products there. It does help to get rid of the dry flakes that sometimes build on the scalp.

The product retails for €16.87. I hope you found this review helpful and if you want more information on the products and from where you can get them kindly check the links here!

Happy week!

Yves Rocher nutri-silky hair mask | Review

Finally the weather is cooling down and the stickiness is losing its power. Until a few days ago my hair was unmanageable and dry and frizzy and a disaster. Mind you, I don't have curly hair, my hair is somewhat straight. With a good shampoo comes along a good mask or conditioner. 

Lately I have been using the Yves Rocher nutri-silky mask. It is a mask targeted more towards dry hair. It is silicone, paraben and colorant free.

The mask is a creamy mask with nourishing oat milk which is renowned for its hair-nourishing and scalp-softening properties, and shea butter which nourish and repair the hair. Both are grown from organically grown plants.The hair regains its suppleness and and obtains also a silky touch. It treats the hair fibre without weighing it down so it is also suitable for people with fine hair. It is made up of 94% natural ingredients. What is also good about this product? The container contains recycled plastic to minimise its environmental impact.


I love using this product as a frequent conditioner and I leave it in my hair for around 5 minutes. I suggest this mask to everyone who would like a mask which nourishes the hair without leaving it oily or without weighing it down.

Lush Big Sea Salt Shampoo Review

Happy Sundays everyone! 

Finally I decided to review this product. Cannot believe it took me this long. I fell in love with Lush the minute I entered the shop for the very first time in June in London.

I have quite dry and oily hair. Let me explain. So, the ends of my hair are quite dry and I get split ends quite frequently. For this reason I cannot use straightening irons and curling tongs and hot tools in general that often. Which for me is a bit of a downside as I really like straight hair. But anyways. My roots can become quite oily at times which make the hair at the roots quite flat and the ends of the hair dry. And believe me it is a nightmare. I also consider my scalp quite dry however. Or better flaky. And it is not dandruff as I have tried several anti dandruff products which actually made my scalp worse.

Whenever I use several products on the hair or when I go and do an upstyle or use hair spray or so I have to wash my hair the day after as I get a lot of product build up which make me itch terribly. So, I am always on the look out for shampoos which are deep cleansing shampoos which cannot be used that frequently as they dry out the hair.

When I went into Lush I remember telling them that I have never tried  Lush products and that I would like to try something for my hair. I was introduced to this product which is more or less a scrub for the scalp! Exactly what I needed!

It is more of a mechanical scrub than a chemical one as it is made of coarse sea salt which is quite big compared to the normal salt. This is the product I was looking for all the time!

It is made of natural ingredients and in fact I think it has a shorter expiration date compared to other products.

How I use it. I use it once a week not more. sometimes even once every fortnight. I wet my hair and then take a small amount and rub it gently on the scalp. I used the word gently as I can assume that harsh and very fast scrubbing doesn't do any good. I do this for a minute or so and then I rinse and I use my normal shampoo and conditioner as usual.

This product gets rid of any build up without irritating the scalp or anything. It also leaves the scalp really soft and I noticed that it actually increases the days where I don't wash my hair.

And what I have found out is that LUSH actually ships to MALTA ! Shipping is a bit pricey but you can always divide shipping amongst you and your friends :)
