======Quality Hair Maintenance Products and Accessories
Allegra Noir Design Studio - Crochet and knit hats for all seasons by yours truly made of the finest materials with a definitive cosmopolitan flare. You will also find sleek handcrafted books and boxes made by s.e.a.
Dr. Bronners Magic Soap - An absolute classic, Dr. Bronners Magic Soap was ecologically friendly with organic properties way before it was popular. This is an excellent shampoo with no heavy chemicals or fragrances and you should find it easily at your local health food store. I suggest watering it down (2 parts shampoo, 1 part water) if you wash your hair several times a week to ease up on your hair and your pockets.
Desert Essence - I came across this brand when I was traveling and had forgotten my shampoo at home. While a bit more expensive and with more man-made additives then Dr. Bronners, it is still better then ordinary commercial shampoo and it has a lite and clean (non-perfume like) scent. You can find this at Whole Foods and other high-end health conscious shops. Again, I suggest watering it down (2 parts shampoo, 1 part water) if you wash your hair several times a week to ease up on your hair and your pockets.
