Summer Hair Care

Josie Maran Argan Hair Serum

My poor hair. I spend so much time in the sun, I think I’ve gone about two shades lighter. And much, much drier. If I don’t do anything to it, my hair feels like straw. And my age doesn’t help. I’ve always battled dry hair, but the older I get, the more it shows.

As a result, I’ve tried a lot of products for dry hair, and I thought I’d share a couple that are working for me right now.

 

Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum

 

• I love that this product is organic, paraben free, all-natural, and vegan.
• I love that it contains no alcohol. I’ve been using Biosilk for a while, but the alcohol in it pretty much defeats the purpose. I can absolutely tell the difference when I use this hair serum.
• I like the smell. It’s a very light mix of geranium and bergamot.
• I like that it contains argan, jojoba, and avocado oils and vitamin E.

 

I bought it at Sephora. There is also a 100% argan oil product that you can use on your skin. I’ll probably try that, too, eventually.

I was looking at online reviews for a different product (Terax Crema from Italy), when I noticed that everyone was mentioning this Deep Repair Masque in favorable comparison.

 

My hair is so stressed, and I didn’t want to wait for shipping, so I headed for Ulta, the only place I could find that carries it. And I’m really glad I did.

 

It’s a little tricky to apply. I don’t like combing my hair when it’s wet, and you have to comb it through and let it sit for 7 minutes (I do longer), but the results are pretty impressive. Not only do my locks look better, they actually feel stronger and healthier. 

 

My hair being the mess that it is, I didn’t see the miraculous results that some people report, but combined with my Argan Oil Hair Serum, I think this stuff is going to help me down the road toward happier hair. And it smells very nice, too.

*As always, I like to mention that I don't work for any of the above shops or companies. I just happen to like these products.

Oh, I love organic and all natural products. I mostly buy my skin care products at Whole Foods just for this reason. I've been looking for some hair products as well. Thanks for the tip!

Steph, I'm happy to share things that work for me, and I love to hear about products from other people, too. Not just to save money, but to save space in my bathroom cabinets! :)
