Rants & Raves: Michel Mercier Detangling Brush

I think its best to start this review telling you all about my hair type because I do think it will make a difference on how the product works for you. I have what is considered long hair. It normal thickness but at times can get a bit coarse. It is on the straighter side of wavy. I chemically treat it so it is a dry and damaged. And finally I do get some tangles but no a crazy amount that I cant control. So with that said today I will be reviewing the Michel Mercier Detangling Brush.

Product: Michel Mercier "Professionnel" Hair Brush

Product Claim: Smooth detangling with no resistance, less breakage, and reduced hair loss.

Price: $15-$20

Availability: Available at most drugstores

Pros: There are only a few pros that I found when using this product. The first is that it is readily available at several locations. Second, it comes in a variety of options to suit different hair types. I particularly like that feature because each hair type has its own needs. And lastly it did reduce how much of my hair breaks of when brushing.

Cons: It's on the higher end of pricing for a brush made of plastic. I know I saw it several times and thought about buying it until I saw the price, luckily I was able to get one for free. I am definitely not a fan of the way the product is built. I feel the plastic makes it less durable, the colors make them look tacky as opposed to higher end, and the ergonomics of the handle aren't as natural feeling and comfortable as I would prefer. And lastly, I don't think it made a huge significance in reducing tangles in my hair. 

Overall Opinion: If you can get this brush for $10 or less go for it. I think it would work best for people who have a lot of hair. For healthy hair the difference wouldn't be enough to justify the purchase. I think I would also recommend this for curly hair. I guess I don't hate this brush but also wouldn't pay too much for it. So should you buy this?... ummmmm idk flip a coin. Sorry.

Saving the World one Face at a time

With so much hairspray and perfume in the atmoshpere i think its time we give mother nature a helping hand. Organic and natural products use to be good for the Earth but awful on your skin and hair. Well im here to share not just my top NATURAL products but these are also some of my all time favorite products. Here they are in no specific order ♥



 1. Lavera Kajal Eyeliner: Lavera is a German company producing all natural cosmetics. I just recently picked up this eyeliner in black. It goes on effortlessly and last a long time. I wouldnt say all day but long enough. Available at Target $10



2. Eco-Tools. They produce beauty tools like cosmetic brushes, scissors, mirrors, sponges, and more recently body products. I have just about every cosmetic brush they make and love them all. Best of all theyre made of bamboo, recycled aluminum, and super soft cruelty-free bristles. Available at most drug stores $5-$15


3. Carol's Daughter Hair Milk: Although this product is designed for curly hair i use it in my wavy hair. I use to put mouse and hairspray in my hair to maintain my waves frizz free but i hated how it made my hair hard. Now my hair is frizz free and managable. The hair milk is more of a cream than milk you put in your hair while its still damp. It is one of my pricier hair items but it last a really long time. If you use it about 3 times a week the 10oz bottle will last about 6 months. I always keep it in stock. Available at Macy's, http://www.hsn.com/, & http://www.carolsdaughter.com/ $20



4. Lush Dark Angels Face Cleansing Bar: All of the Lush products are all natural. The amazing thing about this cleansing bar is that it removes oil from your face. Ironiclly enough it looks like coal but i promise it wont dirty up your face just clean it. Available at Lush stores & http://www.lush.com/ $10.95



5. Burt's Bees Lip Balm: This is just a reasonable priced chapstick with great results. It has pomegranate oil which is great for smooth moisturized lip. Available at most drug stores $3
