Nolita Moisturizing Shampoo 44 of 49 people found the following review helpful:

Deep Cleansing and clarifying shampoo Oct 28, 2006

reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739

One of the higher quality shampoos, Nolita Moisturizing Shampoo gives you a very deep and clarifying cleansing for dry, damaged, abused, over-styled, or just plain tired hair. Lathers up really well, feels especially nice to the scalp, and rinses ultra clean. This product is top-notch for use while traveling or just as a specialty shampoo when your hair starts to look or feel drab, dull, or just not up to its best in appearance or texture. The product provides hydration even down to the hair cuticle and gives the hair a nourishing, rich botanical treatment that removes environmental contaminants and build-up from styling products such as gels or sprays, or heat damage from hot rollers, curling or flat irons, and blow dryers. Especially good for a once weekly super cleanse if you work in closed-in office environments where the air is stale, or after shopping or outdoors where pollution is particularly high. The product left my hair super clean, soft, and with a healthy shine and bounce.

Matrix Essentials Simply Silk Detangling Rinse 47 of 51 people found the following review helpful:

Light, silky detangler for shiny, healthy hair Oct 28, 2006

reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739

When I was in elementary school, my Mom always used a product on my my hair after shampooing that was called a creme rinse. This product, Matrix Essentials Simply Silk Detangling Rinse is very light and very similar in texture and consistency, but with more up-to-date ingredients to give hair a healthy shine and incredibly silky feel. This product is completely oil free, so it will not leave your hair with that dull, greasy or sticky slickness that many detangling products do. The product also contains silk proteins which are beneficial to the hair and help your comb or brush slide through the hair without breakage. This product was one of my all-time favorites to use for both detangling and mild conditioning as it left my hair very soft and silky, with no weighing down, and has a clean, fresh non-perfume scent. I especially liked that the ends of my hair seemed to split much less between trims and my hair appeared very smooth and frizz-free. A healthy alternative to most detanglers!

Graham Webb Back to Basics Vanilla Plum Conditioner 38 of 39 people found the following review helpful:

Super nice plum scented hair care with botanical extracts Oct 28, 2006

reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739

Having purchased both the Graham Webb Back to Basics Vanilla Plum Shampoo, and also the Conditioner, I will review both. The cleansing shampoo contains all natural surfactants and is very gentle, yet throrough, for dry, fine or damaged hair. Following up with the conditioner, which is ultra rich and rinses out well, I towel dried and combed out my hair, and found it to be very soft and shiny. The Vanilla Plum conditioner has a very aromatic scent, and left my hair wihout the need for a detangler. Both products offer added moisture, volume, and are color-safe. The conditioner does not seem to build up on your hair, which causes dullness. The bottles say both products are non-petroleum based, and the ingredients are natural botanicals which hydrate and maintain healthy, strong hair and prevent breakage. I felt the Graham Webb Back to Basics Vanilla Plum Conditioner, as well as the shampoo, did an excellent job. I would recommend them for almost any age group, regardless of hair type.

Creative Scentsations - Pear & Dandelion 44 of 49 people found the following review helpful:

A very different lightly scented lotion with aloe Oct 28, 2006

reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739

Pear is a favorite of the fruit scents for me and this aromatherapy body lotion, which is very lightweight, has that beautiful soft, sweet pear scent. As one of the many Creative Scentsations lotions I have tried, this one was very unique in the fragrance, which has the more subdued bottom note of dandelion flowers. The aromatic lotion itself is not a heavy cream or balm, but an extremely light and easy to absorb product, leaving the skin moisturized and ultra soft. The only drawback of note is that the scent somewhat bothered my husband, who has nasal allergies, so this might not be a product I would recommend for those with sinus problems or allergic reactions to some scents. The lotion contains vitamins A and E, which are nutrients needed for skin renewal and hydration, with aloe, which is beneficial for skin sensitivity, as it is a natural anti-inflammatory. Aloe also calms and plumps the skin tissue giving it a more youthful and fresh appearance and helps skin retain moisture.

Creative Scentsations - Mango & Coconut 44 of 49 people found the following review helpful:

Rich and exotic tropical blend body lotion Oct 22, 2006

reviewer: Shannon M. from Hendersonville, NC 28739

Another of the Creative Scentsations lotions that I received in a gift pack, this one is a very fruity, rich tropical blend. Since I love mangos, I felt sure that this lotion would be a favorite, however, although it is really a nice treat for occasional use, it was not one of my top picks of those in the pack. The mango was not very obvious in the scent, but the coconut and something similar to a banana scent seemed more like the top notes. Very interesting and quite different, though, and would be good for summer wear or whenever daydreaming of warmer climates or exotic beaches. The lotion formula itself is very light but moisturizes well, providing hydration to the skin without leaving a film or any unpleasant feel. More of an ultra-lighweight daytime body lotion that could be used as a pick-me-up aromatherapy, this product is great for travel or just to carry in your purse for a quick and light scented treat for your skin. Perfect for any age, this one would also make a nice gift.
