John Master’s Week: Lavender and Avocado Conditioner

Just call me your resident hair product expert. Much like Kathy, I was a Redken girl prior to waking up and realizing just how bad that stuff was for my body. I have to tell you, it was really REALLY hard for me to make the switch to a chemical free conditioner. My hair became much more unruly since the birth of my son last year. I used to have fine waves and now I have these coarse curls that are nearly impossible to get a comb through. So when I had to give up my Butter Treat conditioner, I was pretty lost. It took me a good eight to nine months to find a conditioner that worked even remotely close to my old stuff. And that conditioner is John Master’s Lavender and Avocado Intensive Conditioner. There has been no other conditioner that has not ony stood up to my hair, but looked it square in the eye and told it who was boss. After month and months of nothing but dry stringy feeling hair and a head that hurt from constantly trying to comb knots out, I was able to run a comb through it with almost no resistance. And OH, how I did rejoice. This is a really great conditioner for every day use if you have hair like mine, or as a once a week conditioner if you have normal hair. A tube is not cheap, costing about $20 (which really, if you buy a salon quality shampoo, isn’t much more than that), but in my mind it is hands down worth the price you pay. If you’re only using it once a week, it should last you, and even if you’re using it daily, it should still at least last you a month and a half, as you really don’t need that much.

Did I mention that this is my aboslute favorite conditioner ever?

John Masters Organics: Lavender Rosemary Shampoo

Welcome to LovelyMama’s John Masters Organics Week! We’ll be featuring at least one John Masters Organics product each day and we’ll lead up to a big fabulous John Masters giveaway on Friday. Believe me, you want to win this. It is taking massive amounts of will power not to keep it ourselves. So stay tuned this week and be sure to pop back on Friday for the rad giveaway details.

To get us started I wanted to talk about their shampoo because one thing that was really hard to change for me was my shampoo. I was a Redken woman for years and have curly (with frizzy tendencies) and also get regular highlights done. (I know… but until they start making an eco-friendly salon in my area I refuse to stop). So finding a shampoo that performs well on my hair is a challenge. I also wanted something that was safe for color treated hair as well because let’s face it ladies, color treatments are not cheap. So you want them to last until your next touch up and I’ll be damned if I’m going to wash out those golden low lights with a crappy shampoo.

John Masters Organics Lavender Rosemary Shampoo I gave John Masters Organics a try and started with their Lavender Rosemary Shampoo for normal hair. This shampoo is made with pure coconut soap (which evidently is also great for curls) with herbal infusions of periwinkle, sage leaves, chamomile flowers. This wonderful concoction cleans well without leaving hair greasy or stripped. John Masters doesn’t use Sodium Lauryl Sulfates in their products or synthetic ingredients so it doesn’t have that overly foaming quality which is usually the result of those kinds of ingredients. However it does lather and does the job really well. The herbal mix helps hair resist the stress of pollution, coloring and styling. Best yet? Totally safe for color-treated hair. Woo!

A bottle retails for about $16 but with this shampoo you don’t need a lot to get your hair clean and skipping a day is totally an option. So you’re using less shampoo (which is always a key to making your beauty routine safer).
