I purchased the Organix Acai Berry Avacado Shampoo as well as the Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner as a buy one get one free promotion. The smells of both products lured me in as well as the interesting packaging. I was tremendously excited to use these products as I imagined my hair smelling lovely, looking healthy, and feeling smoothed as somewhat described.
I've never used sulphur free nor any organic product in my hair before as I usually use TRESemme's Moisture Rich Shampoo and TRESemme's Smooth and Silky Conditioner (which I love and leaves me hair healthy, soft, and luscious). I read many reviews on the Organix products prior to my shower and I was shocked at how bad the reviews were from various websites. I read this product made hair dry, brittle, frizzy, and tangled. But on the positive side I also read that it left hair smooth as can be and smelling phenomenal.
I usually shampoo twice since my hair is very thick, long, and wavy. Organix lathered up nicely. But I noticed that my hair felt a little different after rinsing. I then conditioned and my hair felt ultra soft while doing so. I was quite excited that the odds were in my favor so far according to the reviews. After the shower I air dried my hair and noticed that it became very tangled even after brushing and my hair felt hard if that makes any sense. It also became very frizzy and I was not able to leave the house without flat ironing it. The softness went away after my hair dried, but the two smells complimented each other nicely.
Overall I would say this is an okay product and would consider using them again just for the fragrance it left on my hair. Definitely worth the 6.99 and bogo free!
I tried the Passionfruit one (dusty pink bottle) I found the shampoo to be alright, it was a little drying but it did lather a bit. The major disappointment was the conditioner, didn't add moisture to my hair at all, after I got out of the shower my hair was very tangly. Maybe I'm just a silicon person.
If you are going to try this, I found at my shoppers the larger 577ml bottles to be $10 while the smaller bottles were like $12 so definitely look at end-caps if you do like this shampoo.
Admittedly these smell great but that's about it.
Last week I was doing what I love to do...reading magazines and I saw an ad for organix. Never heard of it, but it caught my interest for the following reasons:
It uses organic active ingredients
It's sulfate and paraben free
The bottle's cute. Kinda chub. I like chub.
So many varieties in so many colours (see here):
brazilian keratin therapy
coconut milk
moroccan argan oil
cherry blossom ginseng
pomegranate green tea
vanilla silk
shea butter
acai berry avocado
teatree mint
cocoa butter
passionfruit guava
mandarin olive oil
grapefruit mango butter
cucumber yogurt
lavender soymilk
mocha espresso
Phew. That's a lot. I want to try them all, some more than others. The ones that least interested me are the only ones that seem to be in Canada. Why, why, why must we Canadians be punished? Woe is me.
Until the rest of them migrate to Toronto soils, I settled on brazilian keratin therapy shampoo ($8.99) and coconut milk conditioner ($7.99), only because I'm not on the moroccan oil bandwagon.
They smell like heaven in a bottle. Sexy. I kind of want to bathe in it. Oh wait, you sorta do.
How well does it do what it says it will do? The brazilian shampoo left my hair smooth and silky, the coconut didn't do anymore than any other conditioner.
Based on the cuteness of the bottle and the superfabulous smells, I'd buy organix again. And since you can buy it at Shoppers, you know it will go on sale. As drugstore hair products goes, it's pretty fabulous; compared to my favourite salon brands? Just okay.
