I've said before that when it comes to skincare, natural products are what keeps my skin at its best, when it comes to haircare however it can be quite the opposite story. I've never had much luck when it comes to using natural ingredients on my hair with them either making my hair oilier or matting it all up. With oily roots and naturally dry ends (given how long my hair is!) it can be quite hard to find a hair care regime that works, period. However since finding out that the products I've been using for years have been tested on animals it was time to go on a new shampoo and conditioner hunt.
I Love Juicy has an absolutely gorgeous fruity smell to it, which was part of my reasoning for choosing it over Big Sea Salt shampoo (which I might still try in the future!). After washing my hair it certainly did remove grease however I did need quite a bit of shampoo in my hand to feel really refreshed. And I did find grease built up again easily - not heavily, nothing noticeable to another person but I had to be strict to always wash my hair daily as if I left it more than 36 hours I'd look greasy (do bear in mind my natural hair type is oily - you might be different!).
All in all I Love Juicy will do for now as a cruelty-free shampoo and will probably enter my re-purchased products category however I anticipate that I will also be trying out other cruelty-free or natural products to see if one of them are better suited for my hair type.
Lots of love
