The Body Shop Lavender Pure Essential Oil

It’s a Sunday and I was surfing the net when I came across a very interesting site full of Health Articles and Directory. One of the articles I read there was regarding aromatherapy which reminded me that I still haven’t used the Lavender essential oils I bought last week. This kind of essential oil is known to relax and calm while soothing the skin and promoting restful sleep. Definately what I need after a hard day of erm....relaxing.

With a good reason for a hot soak, I filled up the bath and added around 5 drops of The Body Shop Lavender Pure Essential Oil. The result was amazing. Thirty minutes of total relaxation surrounded by a delicious floral scent that was strong enough without being overwhelming (don’t pour too much in because it might be too strong). The good news is that this product is not too oily so you are not going to come out of the bath feeling like an oil slick but with softer moisturized skin. Again, I guess using the right amount of product is the key.

At $12 this product is worth the price because it will last for months if used with care. Time to sleep……….

Trevor Sorbie Conditioner for Long Straight Hair

My hair is growing long, in fact it’s already halfway down my back and that must be the reason it’s getting so tangled up. Combing it through after washing it is becoming a complete nightmare. The edges seem to stick together and knot up. I think I desperately need a trim, but being too lazy to go get one, I buy the Trevor Sorbie Long Straight Hair Conditioner. This conditioner is a nourishing salon formula that detangles, improves smoothness and boosts.

The bottle is white with a slanting cap. This in itself is a disadvantage because you simply cant place the bottle upside down to get the last bit of product at the bottom. Apart from that, the conditioner is really thick so you have to shake it a real lot to get it out. I think I would prefer it if the conditioner was packed in a tub other then a bottle.

Initially I didn’t see much of a difference in my hair and I thought I wasted a good $12 on a bottle of ineffective conditioner. However, once I was close to finishing the bottle I did think that it was improving the quality of my hair. I kinda had less knots and it was easier to comb through but the ends were still sticking together. Nevertheless I got to say, the results are not astounding and I think I will not be buying this product again. For $12 I expect to have better results and this conditioner is just a tiny step above a cheap $4 commercial conditioner. Nothing too salony about this Trevor Sorbie Long Straight Hair conditioner
