I love my Miessence hair care system!  At the age of 43 I have finally come to terms with my curly locks.  I have given up trying to change the look, the straightening irons are gone and the curly, often dry with a tendency to frizziness, brown (with more than a hint of grey now!) mop is here to stay.  I have actually grown to really love my hair and have let it grow as a result of this.  It is longer than it has ever been and I am loving that experience too.  Definitely reflective of a more accepting attitude to self.  One of the blessings of moving into middle age – and there are many, I’m discovering =)

The beautiful, chemical free shampoos and conditioner that Miessence produce keep my hair clean and healthy.  It was interesting – when I first went chemical free and started using these shampoos it took a little while for me to get used to the fact that there is less lather than with SLS packed off the shelf shampoos.  My scalp also had an adjustment period.  I suppose it had been used to the heavy duty chemicals in “normal” shampoos and needed time to adjust to a kinder environment.  It is amazing what we subject our bodies to without even knowing we’re doing it.  If you are looking for a chemical free shampoo/conditioner or gel/hair repair product – look carefully at the labels, unscrupulous producers often slip in some real nasties and still label it “organic”.  If you want to check any of the ingredients of your shampoo – take a look at the toxic chemical list at http://karendlowe.mionegroup.com/en/toxic and see what they do to us.

As well as the desert flower shampoo (which is the one I use and love) and the lemon myrtle shampoo, the Miessence conditioner is fabulous.  (http://karendlowe.mionegroup.com/en/category/2)  Really thick and creamy and yummy.  Because my hair is curly and prone to dryness I also use the Hair Repair B5 spray, just spraying it on whenver it feels it needs it.  The real star of the show for me is the “Hair styling gel”.  I adore this product.  I pop it on after washing my hair and scrunch it all up to accentuate the curls.  Then I just leave it to dry…which can be a little chilly right now in this Melbourne winter – I must find a diffuser so I have the drying option as well!  It holds it’s shape as it dries and then I scrunch it again to break it up a bit and Voila – beautiful curly, conditioned and fabulous locks =)
