Old Wives Tail- Argan & Rosemary Organ Oil Treatment

Oh, isn't the never ending battle to achieve luscious, healthy, shiny locks tiresome girls? Not all of us have a personal hair stylist, maintaining and taming our manes every day- well, unless you're Kim Kardashian, with enviable shiny locks and not a split end in sight). But for us… natural girls on a budget, finding a pocket friendly solution can be quite the challenge!…






I hold my hands up, I'm guilty of using too much heat on my hair and sometimes (accidentally) missing that regular trip to the hair salon, and in consequence; my hair has suffered. So, to compensate I never turn down a product that promises to bring my limp, dull hair back to life!

Old Wives Tail is a small hair care company that make handmade, organic products aimed at targeting your hair care needs with a unique blend of oils. With a goal to eradicate animal testing from the beauty industry, there has never been a better time to purchase an Old Wives Tail product as 10% of their profit go to anti-animal testing charities… and you get to treat your hair in the process!

The natural ingredients, full of goodness and vitality, all work together to leave perfectly conditioned hair, protecting and perfecting along the way. Enriched with Vitamin E, shea butter, and pure argan oil,   these nourishing ingredients work together to smooth and strengthen your hair- an effect that I could see straight away! Oh, and to those who want to lengthen their locks, organic rosemary oil encourages and stimulates growth (although I'm not too bothered about my hair growing at the moment- it's all about the Kylie Jenner mid-length do!).


After first use, my hair felt and looked thicker, with an extra glamorous shine and silky smooth finish! Considering my hair is the definition of 'frizzy' and 'unruly'- and believe it or not, the 'before' photo was taken after I'd applied heat to my hair; by letting it dry naturally, without ANY heat, my hair magically had a blow dried finish… no frizz, no dryness, just a salon quality finish!

Old Wives Tail's beautiful organic treatment has a very thick consistency so a little goes a long way, and it's perfect for applying on ends/ split ends and the scalp as this is where we're prone to dryness and breakages. The heavy oil-based consistency also makes it a little tricky to wash out, so I like to shampoo twice to really wash out the oily residue.. and then abracadabra, hello sexy locks that shine brighter than the Chrysler building!

At first I thought it was a five minute leave-in-conditioner but after reading the directions, I was shocked to see it was a whole HOUR- now that's a pamper session and a half girls! Once a week, simply massage it on parts of your hair that need a little more life and extra TLC, leave for an hour and wash out with fresh water, shampoo- and I like to apply a bit of argan oil on the ends of my hair for an extra kick of shine!

The extra thickness 'va va vooom' that the treatment gave my hair- aided with a little ruffle through with fingertips, kind of reminded me of the beautiful Pixie Lott's straight but choppy and untamed style which I just love love love!

I was really pleasantly surprised with the results and I have to admit, a little excited that I'd discovered a secret to celeb standard hair that worked for me! Discovering small businesses and companies like Old Wives Tail really makes being a Beauty Blogger worth while because I get to help spread the word and find pocket friendly alternatives to high end brands for all you ladies on a budget… or poor students like myself!

Look after your hair, knowing you are contributing to a worthy cause, and pushing the beauty industry into a brighter more ethical future. Help Old Wives Tail to eradicate what has to be considered the darker side of beauty- say NO to animal testing and purchase a little treat for your hair today.

(Looks like we can give Kim Kardashian a run for her money now 'ay ladies!)
