Very Volumizing Pomegranate & Soy Shampoo



97.2% Natural Ingredients

"It's time to turn up the volume on your hair. This sulfate-free shampoo features pomegranate oil and moringa seed extract blended with a plant-based cleansing complex to gently wash hair, while soy amino acids create extra lift. Leave your hair soft and full of volume with these wonderful gifts of nature."




There are so many shampoos that contain sulfates, which are so bad for you. This shampoo does not contain ANY sulfates.

What is SLS?
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) can strip color, dirt, and oil, including your scalp's natural oils. Generally, your scalp will compensate for being stripped of all its oil by producing more oil. Therefore your hair will become very greasy and you will have to wash your hair more often. You can wash your hair less frequently, or use a sulfate-free shampoo. Just remember to scrub your scalp well since the lack of later. Did you know SLS is a toxin and irritant to humans? See all side effects at Cosmetics Database.com

How is SLS beneficial to companies?
Higher Profits
SLS is super cheap, which means less cost for the company, which means higher profits. Also, since SLS makes your scalp produce more oils, you need to wash your hair more frequently, which means more purchases, which means higher revenues, which means higher profits.

Marketing
Okay, so it produces lather which helps spread the product, but lots of bubbles has NOTHING to do with the quality of the shampoo! Marketing efforts have convinced consumers that lather is a good thing, but it isn't. These companies are just trying to make more profits.






'My hair is so beautiful, the lather is so effective and my hair feels so clean!" (insert more lies here) 'and I think my hair is thinning... and my hair is really greasy all the time ...' duuuuurrrr iaaaaaam brainwashed

L.A. Colors Nail Lacquer

L.A. Colors Web Page

 Pros =
- You can buy these nail lacquer's for $1 at dollar stores across Canada. Amazing value!
- Lasts me 3 days before chipping with using top coat!
- Dry's fairly quickly
- Be creative! Nail art lacquer's have a thin brush for designs
 Cons =
- Lasts me 1 day before chipping without using top coat!
- You need to do about 2-3 coats of the nail lacquer for a very thick color, which means lots of waiting time to fully dry.

  *Note = color previews for nail lacquers are not accurate on the website*
Here are the nail lacquer's that I currently own. I am SO buying more the next time I go to the dollar store!
From left to right: Apricot (my fav!), Pink Satin (cute!), Pretty in Pink (not really pink, more brownish shimmer), Berry (sexy! very dark red, almost brown)
Bottom: Green Satin (great for a base color when doing nail design)

1-2 coats = Berry and Pretty in Pink
2-3 coats = Pink Satin, Apricot, and Green Satin
