Shampoo – original detox

Conditioner – hydrate and conquer

Detangling spray – know knott

Since I stopped using chemicals to straighten my hair more than 2 years ago, I have been on a quest for clean hair and beauty care products. I stumbled upon Original & Mineral on Net-a-porter and did some research on the brand, which led me to order the shampoo, conditioner and detangling spray. I was also desperate since I was wearing my hair in its natural state, a state that can leave me vulnerable to many marketing ploys used by natural haircare brands. I am happy to report that Original & Mineral did not disappoint, in fact it was a delightful discovery. For someone like me with kinky curly hair that can easily get dry, these products were god-sent, holy grail status!

Here is what I got;

  • Shampoo – original detox

After a summer filled with swimming and using a multitude of hair products, I needed an ultimate cleanser for my hair. This shampoo did just that without stripping my hair. It contains peppermint oils which is always a go-to for me when cleansing my hair, I like that clean tingling feeling on my scalp.

  • Conditioner – hydrate & conquer

I felt like I had kissed hair dryness buh-bye with this conditioner rich in Tasmanian sea kelp. Even years having majored in biology at one point of my life did not help me understand why sea kelp was good for my hair. After more reading I found out the aforementioned sea kelp and more importantly the Tasmanian sea kelp contained vitamins A,B,C and E and was choke-full of amino acids,13 to be exact. I liberally applied this amazingly-scented conditioner all over my head and waited five minutes before rinsing it off, leaving my hair super hydrated and soft, oh how I now love Tasmanian sea kelp.

  • Detangling Spray – know knott

The word detangle signals somewhat of a battle I wage on my own hair in the bathroom. It usually ends with casualties, my tired arms, tender scalp and all the little shafts of hair on the floor. In addition to lots of Shea Moisture leave in conditioner (my other holy grail line) I sprayed this all over my hair, which helped a lot with my knotted strands and made the dreaded detangling process much easier.

hope you have a great weekend!
