Go Organic!

MODERN's going "green" for April 2010 - and what better way to start off my "green" coverage than with a product prequel…

Throughout the month of March and April, on top of writing about the newest/trendiest beauty products, I will also be focusing on the "greener" side. So it will be a mix and match.

Head Organics Set

For this week's "green" product review I decided to try out Head Organics! This product is free of harsh detergents and polluting chemicals. Through research and development, access to global ingredients and "green chemistry," this 100% vegan and gluten-free hair care line offers performance in both grooming and personal responsibility to the environment. Each product is blended with naturally derived, certified organic active ingredients, botanical extracts, essential fatty acids, glycerin, vegetable oils, natural proteins and coconut.

I tried out each of these products:

	Extra Hold Mousse - It's comprised of a gentle and non-irritating formula. It gave my hair a bit of a lift using natural ingredients. In the bottle the liquid resembles water; once you pump some into your hand it turns into foam!

2 – in – one Shampoo & Conditioner - This product is safe on chemically treated hair/and all hair types. It contains pomegranate, ginger, aloe vera extracts - and it smells really good! Like coconut! The shampoo/conditioner has a syrupy consistency so when I was washing my hair I could instantly feel my hair being moisturized and cleaned simultaneously. The shampoo/conditioner in one bottle makes it a convenient product.

	Hair Serum – Great for frizzy hair and fly-aways! I used about two to three pumps of this product on my long hair (it's past my shoulders) and I loved it. It made my hair look a lot shiner and healthier. It is an ultra-light formula so it didn't weigh down my hair - it left it soft and sleek. This is a valuable product because you can use it anytime of the day on dry hair.

Leave-in Conditioning Spray – Wow; another product that did wonders for my hair! Adding this product to my hair after using the hair serum made it feel really soft. You can see results whether you apply this product to wet or dry hair. I misted about four sprays and found that it calms static, fly-aways and it won't leave your hair all greasy (unless you spray a large amount of this product in your hair). I recommend keeping it to three or four sprays depending upon hair length.

	Extra Hold Hair Gel - I put a quarter amount of this product in my hair, and let it air dry. Afterwards my hair had soft waves and it wasn't stiff (this result is based upon straight hair). This product also helps protect hair from heat damage. So even if gel isn't your thing, you may want to try it out just for that reason.

	Natural Styling Wax – This wax is for anyone who wants a defined, spiky look. It's ideal for short hair types and hair with layers. Just apply a small amount with your fingertips or palms and work into dry or damp hair - and remember, a little bit goes a long way. It adds texture and control to any style.
