Give Yourself Some Head

Some Head Organics hair products, that is (gotcha, didn’t I?)

A Best of Beauty award winner in 2008 and 2009, the California-based Head Organics opened their doors in 1969 — yeah, I didn’t know that either — and true to their founding spirit, they have since set the standard for sustainable, organic hair products that both work beautifully and smell fantastic.

Head Organics’ sustainability mantra extends far beyond product formulas. Bottles are either recyclable or made using recycled material, labels are printed with non-GMO (genetically modified organism) soy ink and all formulas are biodegradable. And if that wasn’t enough, Head’s manufacturing processes are offset with wind power, and they pay six cents more per bottle to have all them produced and shipped from a factory within 10 minutes of the laboratory in order to reduce the company’s carbon footprint. Wow. Now that’s a good corporate citizen. And a beautiful one to boot.

Not only are Head Organics’ products thoughtfully made, they’re also thoughtfully marketed, in particular in this economy.

For example, Clearly Head Shampoo, the simplest of shampoos is formulated with certified organic ingredients to gently cleanse hair and scalp. The clear formula speaks to its clean, residue-free purity. Best part? 16.9 oz. suggested retail is only $13.50. Nice!

Better yet, I’ve got a bargain-hunting tip for all you tree-hugging economical gals and guys: You can get Head Organics products at iHerb.com at a phenomenal discount. What’s phenomenal, you ask? Try this on. Full size Clearly Head Shampoo for $6.88. HELLO!

At these prices (thank you, iHerb!), you might just have to try my other favorites from Head:

Leave-In Conditioning Spray, 8.62 oz. for $7.02, leaves your hair soft, smooth, shiny and never weighed down
Hair Serum Anti-Frizz Shine Serum, 2 oz. for $8.56, one pump for shiny, manageable hair. No fly-aways!
Extra Hold Hair Gel, 8.45 oz. for $7.80, nickel-sized squirt for when you want you hair to stay! What I really love is absolutely no crunchies. Can you imagine? Firm hold gel with no stiffness. I thought it was a myth. It ain’t.
