We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

I couldn't believe it when I tried it. It's wonderful, it smells great (my boyfriend loved it), it got my hair really clean and left it soft and with some body, not limp and greasy feeling. I will only use Made from Earth products from now on, they really are the best for your health. Its cheaper to buy on the madefromearth.com website though, than actually going into sephora…I guess sephora raises their prices….

I usually use Neutrogena Anti-Resudue because then my hair doesn't look overwashed. Most of the clarifying shampoos are too harsh for fine hair. They even bother my scalp and make my hair fall out. I prefer to avoid shampoos with silicone in them. I would not use a clarifying shampoo more than once a week or once every 2 weeks because my hair is thin and fine.

If you do these things, you can drop down your trimming frequency as well. Once every six months will be fine. When I was trying to grow my hair and got it trimmed every six weeks, I saw no growth at all for years and was told with much sympathy that "some women can't grow it like that, honey." It's down to the middle of my thighs, now. And it's dry, coarse, and can be fragile. Handling is everything when it comes to growing hair. Even the conditioner you use should be geared to maknig your hair as "friction-free" as possible, easy to comb and not tangly.
