Now I freely admit, I was not using this or testing this out for color treatment! But this formula is extremely hydrating and lathers really well. The shampoo left my hair conditioned enough, that I even wondered if I should bother with conditioner! Of course I still do, and the conditioner adds a great shine to my hair.
I have one of each for one Prissy Green reader! A hydrating Shampoo and Hydrating Conditioner. To enter, go to White Sands, and tell me another product you would like to try out!

Simply Organic Review and Giveaway
Simply Organic is a family owner and run business that supplies it’s plant based hair care, skin care, bath & body and lifestyle accessories to some of the finest salons, boutiques, hotels and spas around the world! The are based and created out of Spring Park, Minnesota. (I love Minnesota!) Each product seems to have Olive Leaf Leaf Extract in it, and their label has a photo of the Olive tree, stating “The Tree of Life.”
Simply Organics Mission is to to share with their clients new ways to incorporate healthier choices into their everyday lives. They are consistently striving to research and develop the safest, highest quality products available while introducing unparalleled wellness information to the professional salon and spa community. All of their products are certifies organic.
Simply Organics main focus is hair care, and after sampling thier Everyday Hair & Scalp Wash and Everyday Hair & Scalp Rinse I know why!
It is gentle, I can use it all the way down to my ends (which for black and blue reasons is important right now). It is a remarkable shampoo for every other day use, and my hair is illustrious and shiny even on that second day! Truth be told, it is even shiny (not from oil) on the third day before I hope in the shower. I can tell it has been giving some life and strength back to my hair, plus it gives added protection even before applying conditioner. It smells delicious, like a a vanilla wafer dipped in lemon pie. Plus being certified organic isn’t too shabby either right?
So I have been following that up with a dose of their Everyday Hair & Scalp Rinse. I think it is far to often that women don’t nourish their scalps. I apply a natural oil to my scalp at least one night a week, and let it soak in over night, and when i condition, I apply a little to my roots too, close the cuticle baby! The conditioner is responsible for replacing any essential oils that might be lost in washing your hair. So important. Plus, any moisture that might be lost on your scalp, after all the scalp is skin, and you always moisturize your skin right? It also aides in protecting and strengthening. I can feel it working, love the avocado oil in it. Normally if I were to pick out my own conditioner, I always go for the heavy hitters. But this was actually spot on for my hair right now. There is so much added weight to my ends with the crappy color, that my hair is weighed down. This conditioner is effective, but yet light weight, plus it smells like oranges.

A few days ago I told you that I had stopped using body washes altogether, for a couple of reasons, one was the waste, I don’t need an extra bottle being thrown in the recycling bin, but two, I love handmade bar soap! I would take a picture of how many I am using, or rather how many I have opened right now, but it is embarrassing! After using Simply Organics Everyday Moisurizing Body Wash those bar soaps are getting a new partner in the rotation game! Great “latherablity” (nice word) and leaves my skin nice and balanced. A little pricey for my pocket book at $34 for 16.5 oz. It did win a 2009 Natural Solutions, Beauty with a Conscience Award though, so that tells you how good it is! They do have Shea Bar soap, but I haven’t gotten a chance to try it out.
The Everyday Moisturizing Body Lotion. I use a lot of oils at night to keep my dry skin hydrated, but during the day, I want something less greasy! This is deep moisture, with out the heaviness and greasiness. Made with olive oil, shea butter and safflower oil it is great that they were able to keep it that way!
I have TWO prizes to giveaway. Each will receive an Amenity Gift Set which is a great way to try all the products listed above plus the Lavender bar soap, you will receive:
Everyday Hair & Scalp Wash (2 oz)
Everyday Hair & Scalp Rinse (2 oz)
Everyday Moisturizing Body Wash (2 oz)
Everyday Moisturizing Body Lotion (2 oz)
Oatmeal Lavender Bar Soap .75oz
Simply Organic Lip Balm (0.15 oz)
To purchase all the items in this kit, it would cost $47! You can purchase this kit for only $25.75! To enter, head on over to the Simply Organic Beauty Website, and browse around, and pick out an item or more! (something not reviewed here!) and come back here and tell me what item you most like to try and why. You must do this correctly, you can’t just say I want to try one of their shampoos, that doesn’t count.

Concept Vert, by Prive!
September 7, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Info You Want to Know
For the last week I have been using this truly unique hair care line, by Prive. It is called Concept Vert. It utilizes air to mix with the shampoo and conditioner so that you need less of each product, therefore producing less waste. And I must say, it works! The lines smells like what I can only imagine a rain forest would smell like, simply clean and fresh.
These certified Environmentally Preferred Products come in reusable bottles featuring patented air powered technology that equates to twice the washing and conditioning. Concept Vert products are designed to be recycled traditionally, in addition to being refilled and reused via the manufacturer through the salon of purchase.
The high-yield of Concept Vert’s products, the sulfate free and paraben free ingredients, the pure organic extracts and the reusable packaging make Privé’s Concept Vert Rejuvenating Pure Shampoo and Rejuvenating Pure Conditioner truly unique. The color safe formula enriched with Amazon Açaí and Babassu Oil rejuvenates the hair with antioxidants and strengtheners as it gently nourishes and cleanses. Unlike many commercial hair cleansers and conditioners, these products do not contain commonly used artificial ingredients including sulfates, gluten, phalalates, DEA, TEA, mineral oil, paraffin, PABA, paraben, or artificial coloring.
Ideal for all hair types, Privè’s Concept Vert Rejuvenating Pure Shampoo and Rejuvenating Pure Conditioner leave hair feeling and looking shiny and healthy.
Privè’s Concept Vert Rejuvenating Pure Shampoo retails for $28 and the Concept Vert Rejuvenating Pure Conditioner retails for $30. Both are available at elite salons and spas nationwide. For information on purchase locations, visit http://www.priveproducts.com/ .
What I like most about the two products, besides the obvious eco friendly standards, is the lightweight weight conditioner, and how much the shampoo conditions. I almost didn’t need the conditioner. The both lather up easily, and it really only takes about a dime sized amount for my thick, long hair! This luxurious line would last a nice long time! Way to go! Affordable, and long lasting!
