René Furterer Complexe 5 Stimulating Plant Concentrate Revisted

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

René Furterer Complexe 5 Stimulating Plant Concentrate is a pre-shampoo treatment that detoxes the scalp, by cleansing and purifying it, and the warming effect helps to improve microcirculation. I have been using this product for about 2 1/2 years, and now that I am nearly finished with my most recent bottle, and about to purchase another one, and I thought that I would revisit it with you because it really is that good!

It is soothing, invigorating and makes the scalp feel amazing, and my hair also looks and feels wonderful after using it. You simply apply it to the scalp and then massage for a few minutes, and then leave it in for about 5-10 minutes. Be sure to shampoo twice, to remove the residual oil, and then condition hair as you would normally. It has a wonderful orange aroma that is punctuated by the lavender oil, and it is such an amazing treat to the senses.

I like to follow by using René Furterer 5 Sens Enhancing Dry Oil (Reviewed HERE), which is a beautifully fast absorbing dry oil, that can be used on the hair and body. It has a lovely soft aroma that is a treat to the senses, but it isn't long lasting or in the least bit cloying. When I use it on my body, it melts into the skin and leaves it soft, supple, hydrated and nourished. For the hair, it offers extraordinary hydration and leaves locks soft, smooth and manageable. It tames frizz and fly-aways, and it gives hair a glossy shine.

Features:
  • Pre-shampoo treatment detoxes the scalp to improve overall hair health
  • Cleanses, purifies and energizes the scalp while removing impurities without stripping the hair
  • Orange essential oil provides soothing, invigorating and purifying benefits
  • Lavender essential oil gently cleanses
  • The essential first step to any René Furterer Thinning Hair Ritual
  • Features an exclusive targeted scalp massager tip to help increase microcirculation
  • Premium glass bottle delivers precise dosage for application
Directions: Apply section by section, once or twice a week over the whole scalp. Massage and leave in for 5 to 10 minutes. Shampoo twice. May cause a warm sensation on the scalp. Do not use on a sensitive scalp. Avoid use for 2 days before and 2 days after in-salon chemical services. Not recommended for pregnant or nursing women.

According René Furterer,

The Original Scalp Detoxifying Treatment Since 1957, for normal to oily scalps. Strong, beautiful hair begins at the root. This warming concentrate for normal to oily scalps and lifeless strands featuring Orange and Lavender pure essential oils deeply cleanses and purifies the scalp to help restore balance and boost the penetration of active ingredients for the complementary products.

The essential first step for optimal scalp and hair health, this pre-shampoo warming concentrate formulated with orange and lavender essential oils deeply cleanses and purifies the scalp helping to restore balance to the scalp while revealing naturally beautiful hair from roots to ends. This premium glass bottle delivers precise dosage for application and features an exclusive targeted scalp massager tip to help increase microcirculation and boost the penetration of active ingredients for complementary Rene Furterer products.

Directions: Apply section by section, once or twice a week over the whole scalp. Massage and leave in for 5 to 10 minutes. Shampoo twice. May cause a warm sensation on the scalp. Do not use on a sensitive scalp. Avoid use for 2 days before and 2 days after in-salon chemical services. Not recommended for pregnant or nursing women.

Overall Assessment: I am obsessed René Furterer products, and this one is truly excellent! I am just about to place my next order since I only have about 8 applications left in my current bottle– which means that you will see it in my September Empties post! A+

Haircare Holiday Gift Guide

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Whether you are looking to treat yourself, or the coiffed people on your holiday list, to new haircare tools and products– I have rounded up a few products that are well-worth having.
AQUIS Lisse Luxe Hair Towel ($35.00 from AQUIS, UltaAQUIS Official Amazon Store and Sephora): I have favored using hair towels and turbans, over regular bath towels, for many years, but AQUIS is definitely my very favorite brand for both. Their Lisse Luxe Hair Towel is extra large (19"x50"), ultra-luxurious, very plush, unbelievably soft, and it is very absorbent.

According to AQUIS,

Lisse Luxe may sound like the name of an ‘exotic’ artiste. But she’s the perfect towel for normal hair. Lisse Luxe also excels at curly hair, fine hair, damaged hair and any hair that needs gentle treatment. New generation Aquitex improves absorbency and comfort. Wraps and tucks easily leaving hands free while hair dries. Dries fast with less friction, to minimize frizz and damage.

AQUIS Lisse Luxe Hair Turban ($30.00 at AQUIS, UltaAQUIS Official Amazon Store and Sephora): With all of the attributes of the Lisse Luxe Hair Towel, their hair turban has the added luxury of a button that securely fastens it in place.

According to AQUIS,

The all around gentleness of Lisse Luxe. With the convenience of an easy to fasten turban. Great for curly and delicate hair needing the gentlest treatment. New generation Aquitex improves absorbency and comfort. Wraps and fastens easily leaving hands free while hair dries. Dries fast with less friction, to minimize frizz and damage.
Posh Hot Head Thermal Deep Conditioning Heat Cap ($29.95 from Hot Head and Etsy): This super easy to use heat cap enables you to deep condition your hair effortlessly, and without any cords to limit your mobility.  

According to Hot Head,

Hot Head microwavable deep conditioning heat cap. This lively black and white zebra print contrasts nicely against the solid pink terrycloth to make this perfectly posh pink zebra Hot Head! Wear your favorite side facing out or alternate them depending on your mood.

Hot Head dramatically improves the results of your favorite deep conditioner, hair masque, oil, or other hair treatment. Without heat, your treatment can only do so much to improve the quality of your hair. Typically, the cuticle is closed, so the treatment is only able to work on the surface of the hair shaft. The results are minimal and superficial when compared to heat enhanced deep conditioning treatments. Hot Head enables the hair cuticle to open for an extended period, allowing the treatment to penetrate the hair shaft, nourishing it from the inside out.
Features: 
- Eco Friendly – Handmade with all natural materials 
- Reversible and Reusable 
- Available in multiple colors
- Easy to use - Salon quality treatments in your home
- For all hair types and textures
- Produces enough heat for a 20-45 minute treatment
- No cords, No fuss - Freedom to move about while deep conditioning your hair

N.B.: Shower caps are essential when using Hot Head! Save yourself a trip to the beauty supply store and add on a 10-pack of disposable shower caps.

With a commitment to provide the very best products while being ethical and environmentally responsible, Raincry ensures that their materials are collected through ethical and environmentally renewable sources.

Hair Warrior Fitness Formula Hair Treatment

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

If you are a fitness enthusiast, and you want to protect and hydrate your hair while working out, then you will be thrilled to learn about Hair Warrior Fitness Formula Hair Treatment. This leave-in treatment couldn't be easier to use- you simply apply it to dry hair before you workout, and comb or brush it through your tresses to evenly distribute it– then go exercise. While you are working out this delectably refreshing hydrator, which is infused with essential oils, hydrates and protects hair and strengthens your hair. Hair Warrior is activated by body heat, therefore once you start working out and your body temperature raises, Hair Warrior gets to work as well. It hydrates and conditions hair, and it is very effective for dry and damaged hair. Furthermore, Hair Warrior protects hair from the salt produced by the body while one works out and sweats– which can dry out the hair. Once you finish working out, simply shampoo and condition hair as you normally would, and you will note that your hair is more hydrated, soft and shiny.

According to Hair Warrior,

Hair Warrior is a revolutionary hair care product that adds both hydration and protection during physical activity and fitness. Applied prior to activity, Hair Warrior works with your body heat to smooth, protect and condition each strand – preventing damage and strengthening your hair.

Formulated with the highest quality botanical and essential oils, Hair Warrior is a carefully composed scientific formula that acts as an electrolyte for the hair follicles. The patented water locking feature adds volume to the hair, hydrates each individual strand and preserves both hair’s color and natural texture.

About Hair Warrior,

Hair Warrior was created by lifelong friends and yoginis, Abby Curtis and Alex Stark. Both women sought to fill a need in the marketplace – a hair product designed to target athletes, sports enthusiasts and fellow yoga practitioners like themselves. Both Abby and Alex share a passion for fitness and yoga, but have struggled with their hair’s health after pursuing activity every day. With a team of chemists and hair stylists behind them, Abby and Alex created Hair Warrior.

Select Ingredients:

Quinoa is a botanical that adds body to your hair naturally. Quinoa’s unique amino acid chain helps to repair damage to the hair shaft, strengthening and protecting each strand.

Bamboo and Pro-Vitamin B5 help to re-hydrate damaged and processed hair – reducing split ends, smoothing strands and sealing in moisture.

Organic Argan Oil, Abyssinian Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil are used to moisturize hair and add natural shine, while also preventing color oxidation.

Green Tea and Rosemary Extract act as antioxidants while also protecting hair from environmental stresses.

Eucalyptus rejuvenates the hair – invigorating the scalp and providing natural antibacterial and antiseptic protection.

Hair Warrior is free from parabans, glutens and formaldehyde and is a vegan friendly product.
Overall Assessment: If you workout and want to offer your hair greater protection, then Hair Warrior is a wonderfully innovative product from which your hair will benefit.

RAHUA BY AMAZON BEAUTY FOR GORGEOUS TRESSES

 Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

If you seek ridiculously glossy, soft and healthy hair– then you really must try Rahua's beautiful range of products. I recently received travel sizes of some of their most amazing products, and I have been positively delighted in using them while traveling recently. Their haircare and body products are gentle, hydrating and such a pleasure to use.

About Rahua,

Fabian, Anna and our whole team are constantly devising new ways to use the rainforest’s most powerful ingredients to create the very best in hair and body care. As committed as we are to crafting beauty products that perform and transform, we remain wholeheartedly dedicated to protecting the beauty, wisdom, and health of the Amazon rainforest and its people.

Symbiotic® is Rahua®’s signature standard. In order for an ingredient to be classified as Symbiotic®, it must be rainforest grown (wild) in undisturbed virgin forest, harvested and prepared using indigenous knowledge by people indigenous to the virgin forest environment, and it must be purchased at a price that helps to grow and sustain these traditions, build economies, and empower the indigenous people.
Rahua Body Shower Gel Travel Size ($8.50 for 2 oz. from Rahua): This is a very hydrating body wash, and therefore it neither strips, nor dries out the skin, but instead it leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated. Its aroma, which is earthy and rich, soothes the senses and lingers in the shower in the most lovely way.

According to Rahua,

A simple way to make your daily ritual a luxury, Rahua Shower Gel nurtures the skin and awakens the senses with a rich, gentle lather filled with calming lavender, uplifting eucalyptus, sweet vanilla, and woodsy Palo Santo. Rainforest-grown Sacha Inchi and Rahua oils, rich in antioxidants and omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids, plus organic vanilla—filled with anti-aging polyphenols—leaves skin clean, moisturized, supple, and glowing.

Key Benefits:
• Cleanses naturally
• Vegan polyphenols help slow down skin aging
• Rainforest-grown antioxidants and omegas help reduce free radical damage
• Nourishes and restores skin’s moisture balance
Rahua Classic Shampoo and Conditioner Travel Duo ($16.50 for two 2oz. bottles from Rahua):  This mighty duo gently and effectively cleanses and conditions the hair, without ever stripping it, and it moisturizes the hair and scalp without leaving a greasy residue. Furthermore, it leaves hair with a gorgeous glossy shine. Their signature Palo Santo aroma, which is warm and nutty, is intoxicatingly beautiful, but not in the least bit overpowering. The conditioner can also be used as a leave-in detangler that effectively fights frizz, and it doesn't weigh down the hair or leave it greasy.

According to Rahua,

Experience the restorative qualities of our fortifying travel-size Classic Shampoo & Conditioner. Cleanse and condition hair gently and maintain scalp health with pure plant derived ingredients from the Amazon Rainforest.

Whether at home or away our travel-size Classic duo, infused with our signature Palo Santo scent, delivers healthier, stronger, lustrous hair!
Rahua Founder's Blend Hair & Scalp Treatment ($18.00 value for 22ml from Rahua): Wow, just wow!! This is a miraculous product that has done more for my naturally dry and curly hair than any other haircare product in recent memory, seriously! The Founder's Blend can either be used as a deep treatment mask or as a leave-in treatment to deeply nourish and hydrate hair, but it is also ultra-effective in its ability to tame frizz and flyaways, and leave hair soft, supple, shiny and manageable. These attributes are so hard to come by for dry, curly, color-processed hair. The warm and nutty aroma is utterly delectable.

According to Rahua,

In celebration of our ten-year anniversary, we introduce Founder’s Blend, a hair and scalp treatment made with organic, pure plant derived ingredients to strengthen and protect hair from heat and frizz as well as nourish the scalp.

The multi-tasking treatment can be applied on wet or dry hair and scalp, as needed. The 22ml sized gift has an $18.00 value. You all can receive a complimentary Founder’s Blend with a $32 purchase on our website, while supplies last!

Directions:

BioSilk Silk Therapy with Organic Coconut Oil Leave-In Treatment for Hair & Skin is a lightweight leave-in silicone and coconut oil based treatment for the hair that leaves it remarkably soft, smooth, manageable, shiny, and it effectively fights frizz and fly-aways. It also has a warm and creamy toasted coconut aroma that is very pleasant, but it does not linger in the hair for very long. I have not tested it on my skin, but I use it on my hair all of the time.

According to BioSilk,

In is lightweight and quick absorbing, improving the overall condition of the hair and skin by adding luster, shine, and softness. It is comprised of certified organic, virgin coconut oil.

For the hair, it conditions each strand from within, protecting it from heat and environmental damage. It also helps to control frizz and fly-a-ways while preventing split ends for smooth results with incredible shine.

Overall Assessment: I really like both of these products a lot– they do an effective job moisturizing and taming my dry and curly hair,  and they leave it soft, smooth and shiny.
