Maybe I should have titled this post “Acure Organics Shampoo & Conditioner”! This line has so many great attributes: the products are clean, effective, affordable and this company has a mission and a conscience. Designer Kristy Guerra founded Acure Organics as a way to honor her grandmother, who battled breast cancer for over 10 years. Kristy wanted to help raise money for breast cancer research and awareness while also providing clean products that promote healthier living and a greener planet. The result of her extensive ingredient research is this safe, beautiful, pure, potent line of nutrient-rich organic beauty products that are affordable and accessible to all! Best of all, Acure Organics proudly donates $1.00 for each product sold to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation™. Read on!
ACURE ORGANICS LEMONGRASS & STEM CELL SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER FOR ALL HAIR TYPES
I asked my dear friend, Lauren, to sample and review this shampoo and conditioner. Her hair is pretty beautiful. It is of medium texture, not thin, not thick. It is not color-treated (a naturally gorgeous espresso color), and it can go wavy or straight. Jealous? I am! Anyway, I consider her hair “normal”, even though it is anything but! Lauren really liked the shampoo; she thought it rinsed clean and easily. Acure Organics shampoos lather really well for a “clean” brand. She also really loved the conditioner: “It didn’t weigh my hair down, like many conditioners do, and while it made my hair silky and easy to comb/brush, it did not make it greasy.” Lauren also like the scent of each. Cost: about $11 each. Purchase it here or at Whole Foods.

I asked my sister-in-law, Cate, to sample this shampoo and conditioner. She also has really pretty hair. It is thick, naturally curly and color treated (blonde). Here is what Cate had to say: “I love this shampoo and conditioner. I have super frizzy, thick, curly, coarse, and unruly hair and have trouble finding the perfect shampoo/conditioner combo to accentuate my waves. The shampoo lathered a lot, which I prefer, and my hair felt squeaky clean. The conditioner wasn’t as gummy as my normal one, and the natural fragrance was amazing! Usually, I have to apply anti-frizz and curl creme to style my hair post shower, but with this, I just towel dried my hair and was ready to go! I am hooked!” Cost: about $11 each.

I sampled this duo myself. As I told you yesterday, I have fine hair. It is color treated (blonde highlights: my one guilty pleasure I refuse to give up), and I have an oily scalp. I need my shampoo/conditioner to clean my hair well, add volume, but still protect and condition. That is a tall order. Luckily, Acure is up to the task. I loved the invigorating scent. The shampoo lathered easily and rinsed clean. The conditioner worked really well. My hair felt silky and easy to comb through. My hair was left feeling manageable and volumized. For the price, it is pretty great. Cost: about $11 each. Purchase it here or at Whole Foods.
