When I started HairBoutique back in 1996-1997 I promised myself I would continue to try all the products that HairBoutique.com sells in their Marketplace.  With that promise in mind I recently did some user testing of Leonor Greyl’s fabulous Huile De Palme.

HairBoutique.com has been carrying the complete Leonor Greyl line for some years now but I tend to get lazy and not want to swap out from my regulars that I have been rotating through for many years which are cherry picked from Phyto, Rene Furterer, JF Lazartique, Paul Mitchell and L’Oreal.

Yes, there is a recession right now and I am watching my pennies like almost everyone else but because my own hair is naturally wavy/curly and naturally dry, I have been diluting or Conditioning Only (CO) washing my hair for many years now.

I also do regular oil treatments but when one of my faves was discontinued I decided to create my own - HairTopia oil - which I used on a daily basis alternating the oil with the mist.  I love jojoba oil for my hair but it is not for all hair types and textures.

Which brings me to the Leonor Greyl Huile De Palme.  I love all the Leonor Greyl packaging because it is clean and pristine.  Even before Gwen Stefani the No Doubt group made Leonor Greyl product line their hair care of choice for their 2009-2010 concert tour, I loved the company, their customer care and the results the product delivers.

Implements - Bridging The Gap Between A Problem & A Solution

As a result of leading technology, implements help bridge the gap between a problem and a solution. While hair products are extremely important when caring for hair, it is the implements that transform clean or dirty hair to shiny masterpieces.

Moving beyond garden variety skincare products, skincare brands are merging the tried-and-true methods of other beauty categories to enhance the end product for consumers.

Finally, implements are simple responses to supply and demand.

René Furterer Karite For Dry And Damaged Hair

Do you know anyone who doesn’t complain of split ends or dry ends? We don’t.

Whether someone has a low-maintenance short hairstyle and is trying to grow it out, or is a starlet with cascading hair that is styled day-to-day, special attention must be paid to the oldest part of the hair - the ends.

Most of one’s hair is protected and naturally conditioned by oils from the scalp, but the ends are not always so lucky.

Karité or Shea butter and oils have naturally intense nourishing and moisturizing properties, often used for treating very dry skin or hair.

Scientifically Tested Anti-Dehydrating Hair Styling Products

Until now, frequent hair styling could be damaging to the tresses.

After observing the damage associated with bleaching, color treatments, and perms, Rene Furterer undertook research and was the first to create products that treated both the hair and the scalp, which was most often the root of the problem.

The products and treatments, made with essential oils and plant extracts, were an extension of his organic approach to haircare-and proved to give visible, immediate results.
