Tabitha James Kraan Organic Hair Cleanser & Clean Conditioner Review

-
For one of my Love Lula picks this month I chose to trial the Organic Hair Cleanser* from Tabitha James Kraan. I received the Clean Conditioner in Septembers The Natural Beauty Box, and wanted to branch out to other products. The brand screams luxury to me and many people rave about the multi-award winning hair care range.

As I already had the Clean Conditioner in 'Golden Citrus' I decided to stick with this same scent for the cleanser. It is such a refreshing scent and lingers slightly on the hair after rinsing.


Tabitha James Kraan Organic Hair Cleanser 'Golden Citrus' (60ml £9.50, 165ml £25) - This cleanser is said to balance, moisturise, nourish and deeply cleanse hair to restore hair and scalp health, without stripping natural oils from the hair. It also protects the colour of natural or coloured hair and reduces frizzy or fly away strands. To use apply 5-15 pumps evenly over the root area of hair and scalp, then rinse thoroughly.

I found I needed slightly more than the recommended amount as I have very thick and long hair, and this cleanser doesn't foam so it was hard to spread evening on my hair. Unfortunately I didn't fall in love with this product and found my hair was left greasy and far from cleansed. I did try using less product (less is more sometimes) but that didn't have any difference. I understand this is not a shampoo, but more a product to help rid hair of product buildup. It is possible I will try the Shampoo in the future as I really want to give this brand another go, but I would be on the look out for a sample size as I would hate to waste a full sized product if my hair didn't agree with the shampoo.


Tabitha James Kraan Clean Conditioner 'Golden Citrus' (200ml £32) - Deeply moisturising conditioner that will keep hair smooth and glossy. To use apply to mid-length and ends after washing, leaving on for a few minutes before rinsing. Although I've used it many times unfortunately it's not a conditioner I grab for whenever I'm washing my hair. Just like the Cleanser I feel it leaves my hair too greasy, even when only a little bit is applied. However my hair was tangle free after using so it's not all bad.


Its such a shame as I really wanted to love these products but unfortunately my hair just didn't agree with them. Have you tried any Tabitha James Kraan products? If so how did you find them?

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. This ba

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen. Alteya's Whole

Sukin Blemish Control Kit

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big difference withi
