Back in the day, before I even decided to go back to natural hair, I did a lot of research on new products that I could use. I was a member of a number of natural hair discussion boards, as there were not that many blogs available at that time. This is how I discovered that I could cleanse my hair without sulphates and they (the sulphates) were probably the cause of the intense itching and dryness that I felt while shampooing. One of the most widely mentioned brands for cleansers was from Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve Company. Chagrin Valley makes a variety of handmade soaps for hair and body as well as body balms made with shea butter and herbal rinses. I definitely wanted to explore the world of sulphate-free, natural shampoos, so I filed this name in my memory bank.
Fast forward to earlier this year and I wanted to try some new products. I have been loving my SheaMoisture but, you know, the product junkie in me. Browsing the site, there are a lot to choose from, depending on what you are looking for, the ingredients that you like, scents etc. They sell their full sized bars as well as sample sizes, which is great! I ended up choosing 2 full sized bars; the Babassu Marsh Mallow Shampoo Bar and the Butter Bar Conditioner Shampoo Bar. I’ve always wanted to try hair teas to make detangling easier so I picked up the trial size of the Hair Tea Detangler Blend.
I ordered my items on a Monday night and I had a box waiting for me on Thursday! And this was the cheapest shipping option! Here’s my haul.
