I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before but I don't often condition my hair. Conditioning every day leaves it really greasy so I just do it every now and then and try and give my hair some kind of weekly treatment to keep it in good condition.
I usually use a Toni & Guy treatment once a week but I was recently contacted and asked if I'd like to try something from Old Wives Tail, which is an organic hair treatment brand. The products are chemical free, natural and environmentally friendly as well as being completely animal cruelty free. 10% of the company's profits are also donated to animal protection charities.
I've never used an au natural hair treatment before but I chose the Jojoba & Clove Oil treatment as it claims to treat dull, brittle hair and make it strengthened, volumised and textured. I am absolutely always looking for more volume and texture and anything that helps split ends and my very fine, brittle hair is a bonus.
The product comes in a cute little pot and you simply massage it into your scalp, which is lovely as you can give yourself a little head massage at the same time. I wouldn't recommend popping this treatment on if you're in a rush to get ready as you need to leave it on your damp hair for around an hour before rinsing and shampooing as normal.
The treatment contains antibacterial and stimulating properties, which naturally sooths and and stimulates your roots to encourage healthy hair growth.
As I mentioned you simply massage this into your scalp and leave for an hour. I prefer to use this on a Sunday morning, which is usually my 'lazy day'. I tend to spend the morning sitting on the laptop and watching TV so this is the perfect time to have the treatment on and let it work its magic.
After an hour I rinse the product off and dry and style as normal. Because the treatment is quite thick and oily I thought it might leave residue behind but it really doesn't. After use my roots are definitely more volumised and it feels like the treatment has already worked wonders into the hair follicles as it feels lovely and soft afterwards. The treatment itself smells amazing as well and will last absolutely ages as you get quite a good amount for the £13.99.
I am really keen to make this a regular treatment as it can only do good things to my hair and I am already seeing benefits. I can't stop touching my hair!
Have you tried anything like this before? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Old Wives Tail is such a cute brand, I have one of their oils :) not sure if you've tried it but I only condition from the middle of my hair downwards, which stops it getting greasy so could be worth trying? :)

I should definitely try that, thanks for the tip!
DeleteI tried this! I used wayyy too much and all over my head (cus i'm an idiot) and my hair was SO greasy :'( I need to retry but finding an hour is hard for me.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I did wonder how much to use but just stuck to a small-ish amount. I agree ref finding a spare hour to do it though!
DeleteI normally use coconut oil after getting my hair bleached as it needs something thick to rehydrate it. This sounds really lovely & my hair could definitely do with a treatment like this. I like the fact that it helps to stimulate growth as well as moisturising your locks. I'll have to check out their products xx
ReplyDeleteYes definitely give it a try!
DeleteI was waiting for this review Cherry! I always like to buy natural products for my hair, my scalp is very sensitive and can get irritated very easily. This treatment sounds lovely, I really need to give this a go! xx
ReplyDeleteI saw a few reviews on this and really need to try it myself, I got sent an argan oil sample but hair treatment and masks are defo my thing as my hair is so bleached xx
