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?

Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask

One thing I love about skincare products is a good face mask...who doesn't am I right?! I was very excited this month to be given a chance to test out the Aura Manuka Honey Mask from Antipodes. It is suitable for most skin types, but especially great for blemish prone skin, so perfect for my skin type...in theory. The Antipodes Aura Manuka Honey Mask * is £26.99 and comes in a 75ml foil tube inside a cardboard box (which can both be recycled!) As a little goes a long way, I can see this mask lasting a good amount of time. Containing a blend of Manuka Honey, Avocado oil, Carrot oil, Grape Seed extract, Pohutukawa flower extract and vitamin E alongside essential oils of vanilla and mandarin, this face mask is sure to leave skin soothed and deeply hydrated. Pohutukawa (known as the New Zealand Christmas tree because it flowers gloriously in December) contains antioxidants which help neutralize free radicals, while Manuka Honey contains anti bacterial properties to hel

The March Love Lula Beauty Box* contains 6 products from brands including Balm Balm, Ayumi, Madara and Soul Tree, with the contents having a total value of £52 which is fantastic value for this box. Love Lula are making some changes to their monthly subscription which will be coming to an end in May. I will miss the surprise treat every month but don't panic! Love Lula will be making the boxes available to purchase on the store individually as opposed to being subscription-based. This provides the opportunity for future Beauty Boxes to be curated with a more defined theme or purpose, which sounds exciting to me and I can't wait to see what the coming months will bring. Anyway....back to the box in hand.... Balm Balm Super Light Coconut Cleanser (£15, 100ml) This gentle cleanser is made from blended coconut oils which have been mechanically extracted from virgin coconut butter making it a super light oil. It can be used on sensitive skin including the eye area making it perfect
