Q&A: All about Organic Shampoo

Many of you may not know, but surprisingly one of the top read post here is on haircare. I guess everybody is looking to have great hair...like mine. Hehe. 
So along with reviewing some organic hair shampoo, I will be doing a Q&A to answer all the hair questions you have been asking and asking!!! Yea, this is really something different but I hope it is still enjoyable. :D
  1. You tried different types of organic shampoos. This time you are trying out Chorus Supernatural. So what's the difference between them all?
I go for the smell of the shampoo. I like walking out of the bathroom smelling like a blooming flower. And when I flick my hair, I want the waft of my scent to linger in the room. I tried the Chorus Volumize Rosemary Mint and the Chorus Volumize Mandarin Ginger.
Chorus Supernatural by far is one of the best smelling organic shampoo. Between the 2, I prefer Rosemary Mint because I like my scalp to feel fresh if you know what I mean. :P
2. Is there anything that you didn't really like about Chorus Supernatural?
It just didn't foam. And that made me a little insecure. I kept adding water and pouring more shampoo. But yea, it is not a foaming shampoo. Personally I love mine with lots of bubbles. I just feel that without any lather, the head doesn't feel clean. Maybe that's why I like the Rosemary Mint better. 
But on the other hand, I really like the traveling pack sachets. It came with a zipper! Yes!!! How cool is that. No leakage and you don't have to use it all at once!
3. I would like to try using organic shampoo. Anything I should take note of?
Well, organic shampoo looks pretty much like normal shampoo. One thing you really need to note is that it strips off the silky effect cos it has no paraben. So, your hair may end up looking frizzy or dry. But that is really the true condition of your hair. (i.e. skin without make-up)
And because of this reason, many people stop using organic shampoo thinking that it is actually harming the hair. But you will soon realise that the use of organic shampoo prevents hair loss and maintains the overall state of your hair.
4. Help! Every single time I use an organic shampoo, regardless of the brand, my hair goes really dry like you warned. Why does yours look fine?
This is the number one question every one asks me and I think I have answered it many times through the various posts. And I honestly declare that I never use fully organic products at any one time. By that I mean, I mix the products. Organic Shampoo + Non-Organic Conditioner or Non-Organic Shampoo + Organic Conditioner. 
One thing to note you use organic shampoo, you cannot be lazy and avoid conditioning because your hair will grow frizzy. Mine did! And many people commented about it. Not everyday is a good hair day for me too. :(
5. Your curls are lasting annoyingly long. What are you doing to them?
Nothing. I just try to feed them hair oil. And condition them. Curls feed on oil. You already know the products I use and what I did to them. Here's how they look after 9 months! Maybe I am just lucky? 
We have come to the end of the Q&A and I hope you find this refreshing and informative. Feel free to ask me more questions if you have any on my hair and I will answer them if I know the answers :D I will do a skincare one next!

Review: Avalon Organics Shampoo and Conditioner

Great Hair
Do you wanna have ghostly healthy hair like me? Lol. Before Chinese New Year, still can use slightly inauspicious words like "ghost" etc.
Now that my hair is healthy and straight, I intend to keep it that way :P I am still not that "on" about organic haircare, but my Mum is crazy about it, intending to keep the family "crown" free from parabens. Sigh, but parabens are what keep the hair silky smooth, you know. But definitely, I would prefer cancer-free over a luscious mane anytime.
Avalon Organics
I got to give organic haircare a go. And the brand I tested was Avalon Organics. In terms of packaging, Avalon Organics has this sleek, stylish look (environmentally friendly too) which will make you so proud showcasing it in your bathroom.For me, most organic shampoo usually leave my hair pretty dry so I would need to spam a whole lot of conditioner after.
One of the best sellers is Avalon Organics Lavender Nourishing Series which I gamely tried out. Personally, I feel that that this shampoo doesn't foam much, and that causes some problem because I would be spamming a lot of shampoo on my head. Plus, the liquid is rather watery, so a huge amount of the shampoo flow out quickly from the bottle in a single light press. :( But I can totally understand why this is a best-seller. The lavender scent is very relaxing and lingers mildly on your head after a wash. Very good for the insomniac. 
Avalon Organics
And tada, presenting the best organic shampoo ever - the Avalon Organics Biotin B-Complex Therapy Thickening Series. This series really does curb hair loss. Usually, when I am even shampooing my hair, a handful of strains have already conveniently met their demise. But when I was using this shampoo, my hair happily stuck on my head.
Depending on individual's preferences, I personally enjoy a more woody scent. So this is now my favourite series! Yeah! For those who are interested in other organic beauty products, you may visit Smoochiezz. Another product I really like from them is the Konjac Sponge. Happened to buy one during their road show and it is awesome!!! P.S. it survives longer when you freeze it (yea i freeze everything!) :P
Do comment or share if you know of any other organic brands that will put my new favourite to the test. :)
