Wild World of Hair Serum

In this world of "chemical-and-free-radicals-are-everywhere," shampoo and conditioner just aren't enough... no matter how great they are.  We girls just need something post-shower, or between washes, to keep our hair soft, conditioned, and protected from the elements.  Something to smooth it out, and help it recover from all of the processing, products, drying, and heat styling.

I don't know about you, but I've had plenty of days like this in my life!  No more!!

I will freely admit, I'm a junkie for hair products (and make up, and facial care, and so on), but it wasn't until recently that I started looking closely at what was actually in those products.  It's what's IN the products that causes build-up, which requires stronger shampoo (detergent...but that's an article for another day).

For example, Biosilk(R)  is loaded with chemicals  that no one but a trained chemist can pronounce, let alone identify with knowledgeable confidence.



I don't see a single ingredient that is natural... and this one definitely contains parabens and silicons.  YIKES!  Silicon?  Really?  The stuff they put into fake boobs and make oven/bakeware with?  Yes, yikes!  And this one is generally priced around $16 for 6 oz.  That's $2.67 per ounce....pretty pricey for something you can't truly identify, isn't it?

Now, there ARE good hair serums out there...for an even higher price.  A good example (that I've always really liked, but have a hard time coughing up the cash for, at $25 for 1.7 oz), is ALTERNA Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil Pure Treatment Oil  Holy smokes... talk about sticker shock!  And there are still a lot of synthetic ingredients in it.



Ladies (and gentlemen), please, for the love of all that is holy (okay, for the love of your HAIR), read the labels! There IS a balance between high-quality and a decent price....AND it's 100% natural!!  I've made my own, and I love it more than any other leave-in conditioner or serum I've ever used before (remember, I'm a hair product junkie?!).
  • Camellia oil (4 oz) - Blocks Harmful UV Rays, Maintains a Healthy pH, Promotes Hair Growth, Conditions Scalp
  • Avocado oil (.5 oz) - highly therapeutic oil is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B5 (Panthothenic acid), Vitamin D, E, minerals, protein, lecithin and fatty acids. Perfect hair moisturizer. Great substitute for silicones!!!!
  • Castor oil (.5 oz) - rich in fatty acids and is soothing and lubricating. Smoothes cuticles and softens coarse hair
  • essential oil (customized for your hair type/needs)

Yes, you can make this yourself, and I encourage it!  It will make all the difference for your hair, and is sooooo much better for you.  But, if you want to save the time and energy, I'll make it for you.  :)  Feel free to visit my STORE to purchase Country Daisy Miracle Hair Serum.


Now we can enjoy smooth, healthy hair, knowing exactly what's in the serum and feeling great about it!  No more frizzy, bad-hair days!
