Best clean natural hair products that make your hair beautifully shiny and soft
I was struggling with my hair damaged by hard water. It makes my hair super dry. I’ve been looking for organic hair products that make my hair better for so long and I finally found one from Neal’s yard. I recommended some of my friends and got positive reviews so I thought I would share it with you here.

Yes, it is. Rose & Cedarwood Hair treatment is made with 100% organic ingredients! It also smells amazing.
Who needs this organic Rosemary & Cedarwood Hair Treatment?
It’s perfect for any hair type. But the best benefits will be seen on hair which is affected by colouring, chlorine, harsh weather or age.
What are the benefits of using Rosemary & Cedarwood Hair Treatment?
The main benefits are that it works as an intensive conditioner, helps restore body and shine. It works to stimulate the scalp and revitalise lack-lustre hair.
How did it work with my hair?
My hair type is quite thick and strong and my concern was damage and dryness by hard water and weather. I occasionally use a curling tong so it’s also one of the causes of damage and breakage. However, as it can be seen from before / after photos, my hair condition is so much better after using Rosemary & Cedarwood Hair Treatment. Every time I use it my hair has been left feeling amazingly soft and nourished. I just love how my hair feels. I usually leave it on for 30 min (Never tried overnight. I will try next time!) once a week.
How much does it cost?
Price: £8.00 Size: 50g
It is actually not that big. However, you don’t need a big amount for use. As you can see my hair is quite long and I use it once a week for 2 months now. It is definitely worth the money!
Is it able to refill?
Unfortunately no, it’s not able to refill. That’s the downside of this. Although, the blue jar is recyclable. I hope they will change that in the future.
If you are looking for a clean healthy organic hair treatment which makes your hair hydrated and shiny, this is the one! I really recommend it.

The conditioner replenishes dry, damaged or coloured hair, to leave it looking and feeling shiny and healthy.
How did it work with my hair?
As I mentioned above, I wanted to fix the dryness and damage I got from hard water, weather and curling tong. I was looking forward to using Nurturing Rose Shampoo as I had a very positive feeling about Rosemary & Cedarwood Hair Treatment.
I have to be honest, I was quite disappointed by the product. Instruction in the bottle recommends to apply shampoo sparingly and work into a low lather. I tried using a small amount of shampoo at first and lathering it up, but my hair wasn’t properly cleaned at all. I thought it’s because I have long volume hair. So I added more shampoo. I got a slight lather (yes, the lack of lather is intentional) and my hair got cleaner but at the same time, my hair got drier somehow. It just doesn’t moisturise my hair enough, unfortunately. The positive side of this shampoo is the scent. It smells amazing.
On the other hand, Nurturing Rose Conditioner worked very well with my hair. It makes my hair softer and shiny plus smells amazing as well. Absolutely pleased with this product! The only downside is I have to squeeze the bottle really hard with both hands every time because it’s creamy and a little bit of thick texture which I like. However, it is so difficult to get out of a bottle.
Price: £11.50 Size: 200ml
I have long volume hair and used it everyday and it lasted a month.
Price: £11.50 Size: 200ml
This one lasted longer than a month.
Is it able to refill?
Unfortunately, the answer is NO. The blue bottles are recyclable though.
Conclusion:
If you have a concern for dryness and are looking for a non-chemical organic product, I definitely recommend you to try Rosemary & Cedarwood Hair Treatment! as it is one of the best organic and natural hair treatment I have ever used. Unfortunately, Nurturing Rose Shampoo did not work for me, it’s because my hair condition was pretty bad… But Nurturing Rose Conditioner also worked well for damaged dry hair. It’s even better if you use it after treatment.
