good beauty products in the UK

[hopeg80]

Okay I am from the US living in the UK,many of the products that I would use are not available here. But I am constanly seeing women with beautiful natural hair walking around.

So,my question is....

Uk girls what products are you using on your hair? What are your haircare methods?

The question is open to anyone. (relaxed and natural)

Thanks in advance for responses.

Hi

I have just started using only natural products and try to keep it quite simple:

Pre shampoo treatment: Aubrey Organics GPB mixed with Virgin Coconut Oil & Honey. I absolutely love this.

Shampoo: J/A/S/O/N Sea Kelp Moisturing Shampoo

Conditioner: J/A/S/O/N Sea Kelp Moisturing Conditioner

Daily Spritz: Mixture of Water/Glycerine/Giovanni Direct Leave in conditioner with essential oils of Lavender/Rosemary/Ylang Ylang

Once I spritz, I was using a blend of shea butter/virgin coconut oil to seal the moisture but I have just ordered some whipped butters from https://anitagrant.com/ which works much better for my hair

Which products do you usually use?

 

[RainbowCurls]

I usually use Nexxus Botanoil and Humectress, but also frequenty use the following UK products:
Superdrug pure coconut oil (99p! - bargain!)
Superdrug coconut oil shampoo and conditioner
Superdrug henna intensive conditioner
Trevor Sorbie clarifying shampoo (not the proper name, it's in a green bottle)
Henara intensive conditioner
Dark & Lovely ultra cholesterol
Fantasia frizz buster serum
Crazy Color
Directions
^ above 2 are cheap 'temporary' dyes (rinses) in a wide range of colours

I see the J/A/S/O/N products in the stores here and wondered if they are any good. I might have to give them a try. I need something really good and moisturizing.

I have been meaning to order the whipped butter from anitagrant. She is so good at mixing up some good hair products. I guess I will have to wrestle the CC from the DH and get to ordering.

I have been using:

Keracare shampoos
ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo
Organics hair mayo
Daily Defense Water Lily
ORS Softening Shea Butter Lotion
Organics Olive oil Treatment
I use a rose water/olive oil/water spritz.
And various other products that I can't remember.

You know I saw this in superdrug but didn't think that it would be good for "our" hair. I guess I need to stop discriminating and try some stuff. erplexed

I really like the Sea Kelp shampoo, that works really well for me. The conditioner is okay. I want to try the Aubrey Organics shampoos and conditioners. Anita is planning to launch shampoo bars soon so would like to give them a try as welll as I have never used shampoo bars before.

Both of the butters from Anita are really good and smell gorgeous. I have also purchased the Rhassoul condish but have not used it yet as my hair is in cornrows but I may take them out next week so will use the Rhassoul then.

I used the ORS Hair Mayo for a couple of years and it was good. The only reason I stopped using it was to change to natural products but the Aubrey Organics GPB works 10 times better. I normally have to leave conditioner on my hair for about an hour before I can get a comb through it but with the GBP I can literally comb my hair straight away. It is fantastic. I gave a sample to a colleague to try and she said that I am now her best friend

I will start using rosewater again in my spritzes and will buy some next week when I am in town.

Me too. I put the conditioner on my hair and keep it on for hours. It is a whole day job to wash and detangle my hair.

Can you also purchase the Aubrey Organics products from health food stores?
