EO – Gentle & Effective Haircare

I’ve talked about EO products before. I’ve tried bath and shower gels, moisturizer, hand cream, and anti-bacterial hand spray. The products are made with good-for-you ingredients and are scented with essential oils. I’ve loved everything that I’ve tried and I use a number of the products daily. EO products are made without Parabens, Polysorbate, Disodium EDTA, or Sudium Laureth/Luaryl Sulfate. 

EO has a line of hair products and they sent me some things to try. I used to be a hairdresser, so haircare is something that I take seriously. I have color-treated hair, so they sent me the shampoo and conditioner for that type. In addition, they sent normal hair products, a detangler spray, deep conditioner, and a pre-shampoo conditioner.

I found that the Normal shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling better – softer, less frizzy, fewer tangles – than the Colored formula. I loved the way the shampoos smelled, but neither conditioner was heavy enough for my hair. The detangler worked fine, but use as little as possible to get by, because it’s a little bit sticky. It made combing my youngest daughter’s hair out much easier. The pre-shampoo conditioner was nice – it smelled so good, it’s  for occasional use. The deep conditioner was my favorite. I loved that stuff. It was very conditioning and my hair felt healed when I was done.

The products contain ingredients like quinoa protein, jojoba oil, glycerin, gotu kola, rosemary oil, cedarwood oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and mushroom complex. I liked everything that I tried, the deep conditioner with wild lime and ginger was one of the best deep conditioners that I’ve tried anywhere, including in the salon.

For the month of October, EO is partnered with the Breast Cancer Fund. They are donating 15%of the money that they make on the sale of their Rose and Chamomile products – Bubble Bath, Body Lotion, Shower Gel, and the Shampoo and Conditioner that I reviewed.
