Part III: Style it!

Deep conditioning and repair for great summer hair? Check. Maintaining it with delicious coconutty goodness? Check. It’s time to style those lovely tresses!

You’ll need Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Weightless Mousse and/or Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Styling Cream for this final step.

Have short hair? Fly-aways? Going for a piecey or spiked look? Look no farther than the Styling Cream. It’s light and airy and almost has its own bounce in the jar. It won’t weigh your hair down or make it look goopy. It’s not even sticky! You’ll want to scoop a bit out, rub it between your palms to warm it up, then run it through your hair to style. Apply it to either towel dried or dry hair, whatever suits you. Use your fingertips for a more piecey look or smooth your palms over your whole head for fly-away control. It’s weightless and it smells delish – you’ll love it!

Have longer hair? You’ll want the Nourishing Coconut Milk Weightless Mousse. It’s a non-aerosol mousse (very atmosphere friendly!) that comes in a generous eight-ounce bottle. This mousse will hold style, add a touch volume, and tame fly-aways all day long. Pump into your hand once or twice, depending on length, then apply it to damp hair. Go from root to tip with an even application.

From there, you can either let it air dry or blow dry as usual. If you let it dry naturally, get this – it won’t be crunchy! Nobody likes that gross, crunchy, product-y hair that some mousses create. This will leave your hair looking fabulous, feeling light and soft – no crunchies to be had.

You can also blow-dry and style as you usually would. The mousse will give your style some staying power and enhance the look of your hair. It will also protect your hair from the drying and styling, which is a great bonus! Your hair will look as good at happy hour as it did when you styled it in the morning, without feeling heavy or like you need to rush home and get the product out of it. This mousse is a great addition to anyone’s normal styling routine, it’s so light and delicious!

Part II: Maintain It!

Have you done your homework? Hit up Part I of this series and find out how to get your hair in ship-shape for summer. Once you’ve done that, you’re ready to maintain those luscious locks – here’s how:

You’ll need the Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum, Self-Heating Coconut Oil, and the Split Ends Mender to keep your hair looking and feeling fabulous.

Of course, you’ll want to keep using the Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo & Conditioner on a daily basis. Grab a bottle of the Self-Heating Coconut Oil and stash it in your shower. In just three to five minutes, you can do a hot oil treatment! No fuss, no muss, no messing about with sinks full of hot water – it just self-heats in your hands. Brilliant!

The bonus here? You can use it two different ways! Pump a bit into your hands, rub them together to activate the heat, and apply it to dry hair. Voila, in five minutes, you’ve done a hot oil treatment. Just wash and condition as usual when you’re done. Or, you can hop in the shower, get your hair shampooed, then apply the hot oil to your tresses. Give it a rinse and finish up with the Nourishing Coconut Milk Conditioner. In the time it takes to shave your legs, your hair will be nourished, strengthened, balanced, and moisturized.

Go ahead and towel-dry your hair to prep it for the Split Ends Mender. Pump it into your hand once or twice and apply it evenly through your hair, all the way through the tips to protect it and mend any split ends. Blow dry it until it’s about 80% dry (look for an upcoming post on how to blow your hair out at home!). Then, pump just a tiny bit of the Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum. About a dime-sized drop will do shoulder-length hair, so a tiny drop or two really goes a long way. Rub it around in your hands, then run your hands through your hair and finish drying. Not only will it protect from breakage, it also tames those pesky fly-aways!

It’s as easy as one-two-three to maintain your fabulous hair, and you get to bask in all the coconutty yumminess, too. How great is that?!

Summer is practically here – is your hair ready?!

Spending time outside is a must in the summer: the beach, barbeques, vacations, parks. While most of us remember to slather on the sunscreen, we often forget that the sun can be just as damaging to our hair as it is to our skin.

What’s a girl (or guy!) to do?

Head it off at the pass! Taking a few quick steps now can have your hair in primo shape for the summer. It will look great, feel great, and be ready to stand up to the outdoor weather.

Usher in summer with the yummy scent of coconut milk – it’s like the beach comes right to your shower!

Here’s what you’ll need to pave the way for great summer hair:

· Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Instant Repair Treatment
· Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo & Conditioner
· Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Leave-In Nourishing Milk
· Shower cap
And here’s how to do it in three easy steps:

Block off about an hour to pamper yourself – you’ll be glad you did! Put on some music, grab a good magazine or book, and get ready to relax.

First, apply the Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Instant Repair Treatment evenly over DRY hair with a wide-toothed comb. The trade-secret on this product is that you can leave it on for up to an hour and use it as a deep conditioning mask. Once you’ve got the mask on, put a shower cap on, and then wrap a hot, wet towel around the shower cap. The heat will help the mask penetrate the hair even deeper, ensuring maximum conditioning.

Hop in the tub for a soak and read or relax for an hour while the mask goes to work. When it’s time to rinse, do so with lukewarm or cool water. Hot water opens up the hair follicles, so rinsing with cool water keeps all the coconut goodness from washing away. That’s actually a tip you can use with your regular conditioners, too – shampoo after hot water opens up the hair, condition, and rinse it with cool water for maximum results.

Once you’ve rinsed, go ahead and shampoo and condition with Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk shampoo and conditioner. This will cleanse your hair and wash away any residual Instant Repair Treatment that’s leftover. The conditioner will add a layer of protection to the work the Instant Repair Treatment just did. By now, you should be basking in the delicious coconutty steam, relaxing and de-stressing.

Once you’re out of the shower, finish up with Organix Coconut Milk Leave-in Nourishing Milk. The Nourishing Milk will give your hair a final extra burst of conditioners, leaving your hair soft, supple, and oh-so-nourished! It’s made to balance your hair, too, so you won’t find any greasy, gross residue with it. Spray it in to towel-dried hair, and voila! You’re ready for summer!

Calling All Moms!

We all know (ok, we all should know!) that Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Do you know what you’re doing for your mom? It might be a little tougher this year. Extravagant gifts are nice, but with the current economy, we may not be able to shower Mom with lavish gifts. So instead of showering her with gifts, we can give her gifts…for the shower!

Every mom covets “me time” – those precious few minutes each day when she’s alone, not being beckoned by kids or husband, just getting a little time to herself. And for a lot of moms, that “me time” might only come when she’s barricaded herself in the bathroom to squeeze in her ten minute shower in privacy. Realistically, that might be the only time she gets to be by herself, so help her make the most of it!

Because all the Organix products can be used on any hair type, you don’t have to worry about picking the wrong one – they’ll all work just great! Head out to the store (visit http://www.organixhair.com/ to see where to find Organix), sniff around, and pick a scent that mom would like. (And as a bonus, the Organix “Try Me Free” offer is still going on, so your Mother’s Day gift could end up costing a lot less!). Get her the shampoo, the conditioner, and a styling product or two. Find a nice basket, some tissue paper, and maybe also get her a new bathrobe. Put the Organix products in the basket (hey, no wrapping, good deal!), add the robe if you got her one, and leave it in the bathroom. Voila, Happy Mother’s Day!

For bonus points, if mom constantly has kids banging on the door when she showers, leave a note that lets her know that she can expect a stress-free, uninterrupted shower for at least 30 mintues. She’ll get time to herself, which she’ll love. And she’ll have those great new Organix products to enjoy – the delicious scents will relax her and allow her to unwind (the Lavender Soymilk is perfect for de-stressing!). She’ll get out of the shower refreshed, and with great hair – now what mom doesn’t want that?

There you have it, zero to Mother’s Day in just a few easy steps. The best part is that mom will get to enjoy her new Organix products for long time after Mother’s Day. It’s an easy, perfect gift for all the moms in your life!
