Haircare - The Good Hair Year
Healthier hair begins with healthy ingredients.
Sustainably sourced, clean ingredients, great smelling shampoo and conditioner duo. I love the biotin formula, but there's many others, and all are eco-friendly, USA-made ingredients.
Rosemary & Biotin Volumizing Shampoo/Conditioner Bar Combo - these feel soooo good in your hair and I love that the bars tell you which one they are, cuz I always forget and swap them!
Feels amazing and keeps hair frizz-free without feeling greasy. Love this stuff for taming flyaways on the top, and for smoothing braids. It feels so smooth you forget it's there.
Collagen Leave-In Hair Mask - One of the most wonderful products in the Pacifica Vegan line
Luxurious lather, gentle scent, and all the vegan and eco-friendliness one could ask for in a shampoo bar. I have one in my shower right now, love this.
ATTITUDE Volumizing Shampoo Bar for Fine Hair - Thin hair requires extra special care and help. Believe me, I know lol.
A collection of really intuitive and helpful tips that can be easily incorporated into daily hair care routines. I like how she demonstrates each item and talks about WHY it's on the list.
How to Stop Shedding, Thinning & Hair Loss - I found this video super insightful. Some items I knew and some I thought I knew, but I was wrong! I will be encorporating several of these into my haircare regime.
I like this duo for a quick set to travel with or give as a gift. Take your pick of their formulas to match your needs.
Strengthening Hair Duo - Bar set - great for travel or a nice gift set for someone who needs to get their feet wet in the sustainable haircare realm.
Really works. Absorbs oils, softens hair and brushes through beautifully. Non-toxic, clean ingredients. I use this on my elderly mom's hair too, because she can't shower as often now.
Dry Shampoo Volume Powder, Natural & Organic, plus it's one of the only dry shampoos that really work
Works great to detangle thin/fine hair knots. Smells great, not too strong. You can leave it in for all-day shine without the oily film.
Calm Conditioning Detangler - EWG Verified and clean, so you can feel good about leaving it in after brushing through your new soft, silky, untangles hair.
This stuff feels slick but not sticky. Detangles for sure, leave in since it doesn't create a film on the hair, and it's made from hair-loving clean ingredients so it won't damage. I like the light, fresh scent, too.
Attitude Hair Detangler Spray - It's a certified non-toxic leave-in conditioner from a super high-quality company.
