ARTec purehair collection

I read that ARTec has come out with a new organic line of products called purehair. Has anybody (Karen or Dave D?)tried these? Any feedback would be much appreciated, especially ingredients.

Thanks! :)

Hi Karen,

I'm so sorry to hear you are ill. Hope you feel much better soon!

I have some questions about the products. You said they contain no artificial colors, but if you highlight your hair, what is the importance of using no dyes (I assume the dyes in shampoos would be rinsed off)?

I'd also like to know, since shampoo is rinsed off of the hair, why do you think it's important to use organic ingredients? Which do you think is most important in a shampoo -- the cleansing agent or the botanicals used?

>>Patchouli essential oils balance dry or oily hair & scalp back to normal.

How does oil (any type) help oily hair?

I hope you understand that trying to learn all about hair and hair care products that I can, and I'd love to find out more about why and how certain ingredients work!

Thanks,

Jennifer
