'Yes to Carrots' Shampoo & Conditioner [Review]


I picked this shampoo and conditioner up at Target last week and I have been using it all week long.  I am in love with it!  It just might be my new favorite shampoo and conditioner ever!

Yes to Carrots describes this set:
The shampoo cleanses, nourishes and moisturizes your hair and scalp with Dead Sea Minerals, revitalizing and protecting it and leaving you with luminous, luscious locks. The Pampering Hair Mud Conditioner nourishes, conditions, softens, smoothes and tames even the wildest of tresses.

The scent of both the shampoo and conditioner is amazing!  It is a light, airy and fresh scent.  Kind of like carrots but not, at the same time.  I feel like these products have left my hair (which is notoriously weird) feeling healthier and cleaner than other shampoo/conditioner's that I have been using recently.  I also feel like my scalp feels more refreshed than usual.  I feel good when I use this shampoo and conditioner.  I know that I am supporting a good cause (by choosing to use something cruelty-free) and I like that I am surrounding myself with less chemicals.

Pros - cruelty free, paraben free, natural, organic products.  Cleanses well and rinses clean without leaving behind a residue.  Left my hair smooth, soft and moisturized.

Cons - could be difficult to find for some people.

Have you tried anything from this product line?  What did you think?  Any other suggestions for me to try from this line?

Redken Real Control Intense Renewal Hair Mask/Conditioner

I bought 'Redken Real Control Intense Renewal' hair mask awhile ago and I have to say, that I really like it.  I find that it really helps to moisturize, condition and repair my hair from the coloring that I do to it and also the general dryness that it tends to get over time.

Pros - Moisturizing, smells wonderful (it has that salon product smell, light and clean), creamy, covers and conditions hair well, product lasts a long time even if with regular use, attractive packaging.

Even though this product is somewhat expensive (depending on where you get it from), I think it's an investment.  You aren't going to use it everytime you wash your hair and a 8.5 oz. tub with last you a long time. 

Cons - Not available everywhere, might be too heavy and moisturizing for very fine hair.  I think this hair mask would be best for thick, damaged or frizzy hair.  If you do have very fine hair and want to use this hair mask, I would only use a little bit and I would really concentrate it on the ends.

Do you have a favorite hair mask that you like to use?  What is it and why?  I would love some recommendations!

'Victoria's Secret Berry Kiss Flexible Hold Hair Spray' Review

I saw this new hair spray at Victoria's Secret recently and I just had to pick it up.  I love hair products that leave your hair subtly scented so that you can notice it throughout the day.

Victoria's Secret describes Secret Garden Collection Berry Kiss Flexible Hold Hair Spray as follows:
Give hair flexible hold without build-up. Lightweight, non-sticky formula, with nourishing ingredients from a Secret Garden like fortifying Provitamin B5, leaves hair soft, shiny, and luxuriously scented with a delicate blend of Wild Raspberry, Rose and Praline.
Pros - lovely/light scent, choice of 4 different scents (common ones from the Secret Garden collection), medium hold, normal size bottle, nice package design (glowy gold bottle), subtle scent lasts for quite awhile.

Cons - aerosol can (not everyone likes these, always remember to recycle!), very light sheen left by the product (not as shiny as the description gives).

Has anyone else tried this hair spray?  What do you think?
