Nature's Organics Normal Balance Shampoo & Conditioner

This is my everyday shampoo and has been for several years. I only use natural products on my hair and this is perfect!

It's pros:

- A decent lather; leaves your hair soft and clean; smells great (coconut amongst other things);reasonably priced and easily available (sold at supermarkets)

I absolutely love this shampoo and conditioner. I've used this brand for a few years now without fail. It provides a thorough clean and leaves my hair feeling really soft and shiny, without any grease or serumy feel. My hairdresser is always commenting on the health of my hair and she can't believe it is in such good quality because I straighten and blow dry it every day. I tell her its its because of organic care!I would however say that it is different for every person. My sister, mother and I have all had success with this product but my hairdresser bought some after I raved about it and she didn't like it! So, definitely one of those products you have to try out for yourself to see if you like it.

Had to do a grab and dash while travelling out in the sticks down south as I forgot my normal shampoo and conditioner on our recent camping trip. So I grabbed these as they had none suitable for dry or coloured hair. Washed in the shampoo and as normal my hair was all dry and brittle, with straw like texture, which normally improves after leaving the conditioner on for 10 minutes before rinsing this however didn't I actually used half the bottle of conditioner just to get to the stage of being able to get my fingers through it. Now I know that this is mainly due to my hair being frizzy, thick and dry but it does state on the bottle suitable for all hair types. Sadly it did more damage taking about a week worth of conditioning to get back to my near manageable mane. So no again not suitable for all hair types

I tried this out for a bit last year as it was cheap and the ingredients sounded okay. Unfortunately my hair really did not like it, it looked lifeless, flat and greasy. I stuck with it for a few weeks before giving up. I don't believe the ingredients are all that "organic" as any brand can call their products organic in NZ without being certified.

I've been using this since I arrived in New Zealand as it's cheap, easy to find and free of a lot of nasty stuff, you get a 400 ml bottle for under ten dollars. However it's not the best shampoo and conditioner I've used as there's usually more hair in the shower after I use it. I use it to wash out excess oil on days I put oil in my hair as that uses a lot of shampoo. But when I have more money I'm probably not going to buy this one again. It's probably a good natural budget shampoo for older children and teen boys and guys and people with short hair.
