Luxe Hair Conditioning: Allurials Fragrance-Free Conditioner

May 14, 2017 · Leave a Comment

There are many luxe hair conditioners that make hair soft, shiny and strong but are naturally or artificially fragrant. Unfortunately, there are few unscented conditioners that are also effective, especially for colored hair. If you need fragrance-free hair care, options are limited. We love Allurials Fragrance Free Conditioner, an unscented conditioner containing the quality of natural ingredients found in high-end conditioners including Jojoba, Coconut Oil, Avocado, Argan Oil, Aloe Vera and other natural hair nourishing goodness.

Allurials Fragrance-Free Hair Conditioner contains a rich cocktail of organic, natural superfood ingredients for hair and scalp

WHY THE NEED FOR UNSCENTED HAIR CARE

The scent of your conditioner lingers on hair, even subtly, after use. This is wonderful if you like the scent, but for those with allergies, or a preference for only using their own perfumed scent, or for whatever reason you or a partner needs your hair to remain fragrance-free, hair care options become limited. Many of the luxe hair conditioners that are highly effective have moderate to heavy scent due to added fragrance or they contain ingredients that have a strong natural aroma. And, some men just want quality hair conditioners without a perfumed scent.

UNSCENTED OPTIONS

It becomes difficult to find quality unscented hair care. While there are some no or low scent hair care products lines amongst drug store brands, many find the only real feature of these products is that they are unscented, they generally are not very hydrating. And a lower price point, they rarely have a meaningful quantity of quality moisturizing ingredients. Even at a higher price point, including amongst brands that are known to be allergy friendly, there are limited options within their fragrance-free haircare.

ALLURIALS FRAGRANCE-FREE HAIR CONDITIONER

Allurials is indeed unscented. Not just devoid of added fragrance, but my fussy nose finds no detectable scent. Suitable for men and women, it is hydrating to hair and scalp with some amazing ingredients

INGREDIENTS

Several Superfoods can be seen in the list of organic and natural ingredients in Allurials Fragrance-Free Hair Conditioner, providing benefit to both scalp and the hair.

Full of organic and natural ingredients like Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera to feed the hair and scalp

Silk Peptides and Pea Peptides aid the structure of the hair. Pea Peptides minimize UV damage to the scalp. Pea Peptides contain Lysine, important for hair growth promotion at the follicular level and sebum production regulation, which decreases with age. Pea Peptides absorb easily.
Argan oil when massaged into the scalp aids in stimulating the hair follicles for stimulated hair growth.
Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats so it can penetrate the hair follicle. It fills in the cracks and damage to bare spots on the hair shaft, especially on chemically-treated or color-treated hair. Jojoba has a very similar structure to sebum, replacing the natural oils the scalp needs to stay healthy. Jojoba gives elasticity and softness to hair. Jojoba is also a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients.
Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves texture
Coconut oil is extremely popular in hair care, and for good reason. It helps hair retain protein and moisture. Protein loss is what makes hair look damaged. Coconut Oil within a conditioner is easier to wash out than straight Coconut Oil application.
Flaxseed Oil is high in Omega-3s, Flaxseed is a superfood for hair. It helps reduce hair loss.
Kernel Oil is a deep hair conditioner that is also beneficial for the scalp and is packed with nourishing vitamins for hair.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice feeds hair with essential nutrients, it also makes hair smooth, soft and shiny. Aloe Vera has a type of enzyme that repairs dead skin cells on the scalp. A healthy scalp means optimal hair growth.
Linseed Oil is helpful for hair damaged by environmental factors and styling tools. High in Omega 3s, Linseed helps hair when massaged into the roots of the hair.

Contains natural ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil and Avocado

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

This is a very thick, creamy conditioner, almost a concentrated consistency like a thick moisturizer but not as thick as a buttercream.

I was excited to see many of the ingredients contained within this conditioner, as they have been successful on my hair when used in DIY hair mask tutorials, such as Coconut Oil. But when used directly on the hair, many of these ingredients are often difficult to rinse out because they are so emollient and oily. However, within this conditioner, I found them to rinse cleanly.

Allurials Fragrance-Free Hair Conditioner contains rich organic ingredients like Coconut Oil, Aloe and Avocado but it still rinses away clean with no residue

APPLICATION AND USE

It required less Allurials conditioner to coat my hair than I tend to use with some other brands. And it soaked in quickly.

A dollop of Allurials is all that is needed

TIP: Rub it between wet palms to fully emulsify it, like you would for a good, thick facial moisturizer like Creme de la Mer.

Rub the creamy conditioner between your fingers before applying to hair

Then I coated my hair and even my scalp and massaged it into my hair so it could absorb. It made for a good scalp massage. It did not feel as slippery or gooey as conditioners typically feel while in the hair, it felt more like a hair styling cream. It also seemed to sink into my hair instead of staying on the surface.

There really is no scent. Even lots of hypoallergenic brands have a scent, albeit light and non-irritating. I smelled nothing.

Since it was not a slippery coating sitting on the surface of my hair, it was difficult to assess when I considered the conditioner washed out of my hair when rinsing. Because of this, I took a bit longer to rinse out than some conditioners, but it was still much less time to rinse out than when I use any of these natural items directly on my hair, such as washing out Coconut Oil or an Avocado hair mask. It did wash out completely and cleanly however without leaving a residue.

VERDICT:

My hair felt strong and hydrated, even my dry ends felt smoother. My scalp felt good and my hair looked shiny and was soft after use.

Because it is not scented, I can even use Allurials Fragrance-Free Conditioner in my hair overnight and wash it out in the morning without getting signs of fragrance irritation such as puffy eyes or a sniffly nose. It does not stain my pillowcase. This makes it also useful as a pre-poo hair treatment and it is creamy enough to stay put as a deep conditioning hair mask if it is combed into hair while exercising or watching a movie.

Suitable for both men and women who want a luxe moisturizing conditioner with no fragrance or scent, Allurials Fragrance-Free Conditioner provides superfood benefits to the hair and scalp for healthier hair.

PRETTY IN A CUP: RejuvaBlend K-Cups with Biotin For Strong Hair & Nails

April 8, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Women under stress often notice their hair and nails often become lackluster and brittle. Biotin remedies this problem, kicking hair & nail growth into high gear and even skin glows again. But not just any Biotin pill gets results: the key to lush hair, eyelash, eyebrow, and nail growth is finding a high-absorption, bioavailable form of Biotin and then to take it daily. RejuvaBlend developed a way to sneak a daily dose of a high-absorption Biotin into…wait for it…a rich, smooth coffee. RejuvaBlend coffee is like pretty in a K-Cup.

Starting my morning with Rejuvablend Nature Cups K-Cup Coffee with bioavailable Biotin

The only thing better than a quick beauty fix? A quick beauty fix included in your coffee. Like a magic beauty potion, RejuvaBlend coffee remedies a big beauty complaint of many busy women: stress taking a toll on their appearance. Burning the proverbial candle at both ends often leads to the depletion of the body’s reserves, leading to lackluster hair and nail growth.

WHAT IS BIOTIN?

Biotin is a water-soluble B Vitamin (B7) which is associated with glowing skin, thicker, fuller, and longer hair and the growth of longer and stronger nails. Biotin also supports the health of the nerves, digestive tract, metabolism, and cells. Because it is water soluble, it should be taken daily.

WHAT DOES BIOTIN DO FOR HAIR GROWTH?

According to Dr. Richard K. Scher, Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College has spoken extensively about Biotin. Hair that is brittle, damaged, not growing or even experiencing hair loss can have many causes, and Biotin seems to have the ability to halt various types hair loss and encourage regrowth in most women, regardless of the reason behind the loss. Whether hair loss is due to postpartum, stress or poor diet, a bioavailable Biotin can help. Want to regrow overly thinned out eyebrows? Biotin can help with that too.

How Biotin works is unclear. Dr. Scher believes Biotin supports the building of the keratin structure of hair and nails. I thought that sounded promising since my hair looks so much better after a Keratin conditioning treatment.

WHO CAN USE MORE BIOTIN?

Almost everyone. Unlike some B-Vitamins, Biotin is considered safe even in larger doses. But a multi-vitamin and even many B-Complex supplements often do not contain even the minimum daily requirement of Biotin, much less the amount that enhances hair and nail growth.

HOW MUCH BIOTIN IS NECESSARY FOR HAIR GROWTH?

The daily recommended dosage of Biotin required to grow hair is at least 2.5 mg (or 2,500 mcg). Rejuvablend contains 2928mcg.

I was surprised to see that my highly reputable brand and rather expensive daily multi-vitamin pill only contains 33% of the daily requirement of Biotin! After some research, I see my daily multivitamin is not the only one that does not supply as much Biotin as might benefit me. Even a well-known hair-growth vitamin contains only about 60% of the daily recommended dose of Biotin.

ABOUT BIOTIN DEFICIENCY

Few people have a severe Biotin deficiency, but it can occur if you take antioxidant supplements such as Lipoic acid (AKA Alpha Lipoic Acid). If you consume lots of antioxidants in the form of white tea, green tea or as a supplement, these can all increase your need for biotin. Â Lipoic Acid, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory supplement that is an anti-aging insider beauty secret, made famous by Yale celebrity dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone within his beauty/health and anti-aging diet. Since Alpha Lipoic Acid is such as wonderful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory supplement, it makes sense to supplement with more Biotin than to cut back on beauty supplements like ALA.

Certain medications and medical conditions can impair or block the absorption of Biotin within your system. If you have such medical problems, a bioavailable Biotin such as found in Rejuvablend can be an excellent daily Biotin source.

WHY BIOTIN IN YOUR COFFEE?

While reputable brand Biotin vitamins are available, there are several advantages to getting Biotin from RejuvaBlend coffee:

EASY AND CONSISTENT: You likely drink coffee every day, so it not only makes it easier to get your Biotin, you will likely not miss a daily dose of Biotin. Consistency is key with Biotin: if you’re serious about growing your hair out, don’t skip doses.
BETTER ABSORPTION: As a B Vitamin, Biotin has better absorption as a liquid that a pill or capsule. Liquid consumption of B Vitamins has twice the absorption rate of pill or capsule form vitamins. Rejuvablend has a proprietary delivery system that maximizes the absorption of Biotin into the body, making the most out of this beauty-making B.
EASY TO SWALLOW: Many Biotin vitamin pills or hair growth vitamins are big, chalky and hard to swallow.
COST: Rejuvablend K-Cups are a comparable price or less expensive than standard K-Cups but with the bonus of a high-grade, proven effective, bioavailable Biotin.
TASTE: Rejuvablend is Tasty! Made with 100% Arabica coffee. It is a medium-dark roast that is not bitter and has a caramel note.

Rejuvablend K-Cups

HOW MUCH BIOTIN IS TOO MUCH BIOTIN?

While it’s hard to have too much Biotin, it is possible. The recommended usage is one to two cups of RejuvaBlend coffee which is enough Biotin to amp up both hair and nail growth, more than that is not necessary.

Drink one to two cups of RejuvaBlend Coffee a day for optimal Biotin levels

ABOUT REJUVABLEND K-CUPS

RejuvaBlend Nature Cups K-Cups are 100% recyclable and work with any Keurig Brewer machine, old or new. They come 16 K-Cups to a box.

HOW DOES REJUVABLEND COFFEE TASTE?

I like it! A smooth, dark, rich taste with no afterbite. There is a note of caramel but it is not too sweet.

RejuvaBlend coffee with Biotin has a rich, smooth taste with a hint of caramel

CONCLUSION

I found RejuvaBlend coffee to be tasty, smooth and delicious without an aftertaste; there is nothing medicinal tasting about this coffee! Hair, skin, and nails all respond well to Biotin, especially when taken with a balanced meal containing other B Vitamin rich foods like eggs, whole grain, cheese, and soy. Having my Biotin in my morning coffee with breakfast ensures that I get this water-soluble vitamin daily. Longer hair, fuller eyebrows, batworthy lashes, and healthy nails, here I come!

Find RejuvaBlend K-Cups wherever K-Cups are sold.

RejuvaBlend is like a pretty potion in your morning cuppa!
