I'll be perfectly honest and say that my hair is probably the least cared for when it comes to my beauty grooming and treatments. Luckily, I have been blessed with fairly healthy, straight and silky hair and it doesn't need much if any attention at all. I do feel a little guilty sometimes though and let it soak overnight with some Argan Oil or Almond Oil once in a blue moon, but all I really do on a regular basis is wash it every three days, let it air dry and keep it in a bun until I have to wash it again. I also trim and dye my hair 3-4 times a year and use a at home box dye. The only issues I can claim to have is greasy roots and some hair loss which is probably hormonal and stress related other than that Alhumdulillah my hair is pretty healthy and hassle free.
Around 2 months ago when it was time for me to colour my hair again, instead of using my usual hair dye; (the Soft Sheen Carson Dark & Lovely in either Brown Sugar or Brown Cinnamon), I decided to change it up a little and tried a different brand of hair dye and used the Schwarzkopf LIVE Intense Colour + Lift in Vibrant Espresso. The colour was a lovely change and the tones made my hair look extra vibrant and shiny but it left my hair feeling awfully dry and brittle which I've never had to deal with with my Dark & Lovely hair dyes. It was very worrisome as I thought I had badly damaged my hair since I've never experienced such dryness or weakness in my hair before (it was probably my own doing as I left the dye a lot longer than what was specified -rebel me!).
It was only a week after that when I was approached by Reem of Rematural Organic Beauty to try out some of her organic hair care products in exchange for my honest review. This was a proper coincidence as that was the most perfect time if any for me to try out hair pampering products as my hair was definitely in dire need of some tlc.

My experiences and review
I was sent three products to try, the Hair Treatment Oil for Strength and Growth, the Hair Elixir Nourishing Dry Oil and the Hair Butter for Ultimate Moisture. Before I commence my review can I just mention how absolutely STUNNING the packaging is for all of the products, they have most certainly brightened up my vanity and I'm always mesmerised when I see them.
Inspired by exotic oils used in ancient beauty rituals, a luxurious hair treatment oil that will revive your hair to its virgin divine state.
This potent botanical blend of 13 superior oils have been carefully formulated using the purest and finest ingredients, combining a variety of nourishing and strengthening organic and pure oils to address hair issues, from root to tip.
The hair treatment oil is a nutritive and effective formula purely devoted to making your hair softer and revived with a ravishing shine, whilst working on follicles at a cellular level to increase hair cell activity, reconstruct, protect and hydrate for an ultimate hair growth.
This charming blend, potent in anti-oxidants, vitamins and Omegas 3,6,7,9 beholds Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil and Camellia Oil to rejuvenate and strengthen, whilst enriched Meadowfoam Oil and Moringa Oil release their nourishing vitamins and Oleic acid to penetrate deep into the hair shaft for a luscious gleam.
Leaving unique Neem oil and wealthy Indian Gooseberry Oil to target scalp and follicle health, along with Rosemary, Henna and Cedarwood for a growth boost.
Not to forget moisturising Extra Virgin Coconut oil, powerful Castor Oil and regenerating Jojoba oil.
Housed in a glass black bottle with a gorgeous contrast of colourful flowers, the Hair Treatment Oil is a thick, rich amber coloured liquid and is dispensed via a pipette. When opening you'll first notice the distinctive earthy, herbally smell which I think is the mixture of Neem Oil and some others, I'm not really keen on the smell to be honest but since it's a treatment oil meant to be used before washing the hair I'm happy to use it and it's the benefits we're after so it's all good. You have the option of leaving it in the hair for 2-3 hours or overnight, I've been using this twice a week and prefer to leave it in overnight for optimum absorbency and efficacy.
The first time I used this I made sure to apply it to my whole scalp as well as coat every strand of hair, but I think this was way too much for me (I have a lot of hair) as even after washing with shampoo twice I couldn't get rid of the distinctive smell, the smell was also on my pillowcase even though I used a towel over it. What I do now is apply it to my scalp only and massage it in with my fingers and then lightly go through the length of my hair with whatever's left on my fingers. After using it only the once, it significantly reduced the dryness my hair was experiencing because of the Schwarpzkopf hair dye. Now after almost 2 months of regular use my hair has practically gone back to it's usual healthy, silky condition.
Also just last week I was brushing my hair and realised that my hair could do with a trim which really surprised me as I had only trimmed my hair in mid-May when I coloured my hair (I usually trim my hair before colouring). My sister had also noticed how quickly my roots had grown since I coloured it, which is crazy because my hair grows pretty fast on it's own anyway (around 1/2 an inch a month). I'm pretty sure it's grown 2 inches since my last trim and it's only been a month and a half. I think this'll be brilliant for anyone wanting to replenish their hairs' health and improve sluggish hair growth.
A lavish Hair Elixir that brings together four of the rarest and richest wonders from around the world.
This mystical blend of four breeze-light, exceptionally rich and pure formula will be absorbed instantly into the hair shaft to hydrate and soften the cuticles without leaving any greasy residue, delivering vibrant, hydrated, protected and incredibly soft healthy hair.
Combining Organic Argan Oil, Kalahari Oil, Moringa Oil and Virgin Marula Oil, this Elixir will work to restore damaged hair and promote a healthy scalp.
Heavenly scented with warm tones of Jasmine and Lavender.
Probably my favourite and most used product from the set, the Hair Elixir comes in a bright yellow glass bottle with the same beautiful floral pattern and a pipette dispenser. Including a blend of Organic Argan, Virgin Marula, Kalahari and Moringa Oil and some essential oils it smells a lot nicer than the Hair Treatment Oil, which is to be expected as this is a leave on treatment not meant for washing out, it has a pleasant fresh, citrusy zingy scent. It's also a lot lighter in texture and consistency than the Treatment Oil which I find most agreeable with my hair.
I mainly use this after washing my hair when it's 80% dry to ease combing and to add some extra conditioning and softness to my lengths. Even though this is a dry oil I apply only 1 drop as my hair strands are quite fine and become saturated with oil easily, I put a drop in my palm and rub both hands together to spread the oil on my hands and then run it through the lengths of my hair. I've used 2 drops before and it's a bit much for my hair. I also use this for detangling my hair and use as much as needed to loosen the knots. I also really enjoy using this on my cuticles and hands when they are feeling dry, the oil relieves the dryness instantly and absorbs wonderfully.
Considering how often I use this I've got tons and tons of product left still, a little bit goes such a long way so this product is going to last ages! Alongside the Treatment Oil I feel like both products have helped with restoring my hair to its usual health, the Hair Treatment Oil has helped with growth and the Hair Elixir has softened my hair and made it stronger.
A lush and smooth intensively moisturising hair butter for soft, smooth and glossy hair. Enriched with a supreme botanical blend to nourish and strengthen the hair shaft whilst promoting growth and retention. This moisturising hair butter formula will penetrate deep into the hair shafts for absolute nourishment and invigoration to the hair strands.
Formulated with supreme Avocado and Brazilian Butters, known for their magnificent moisturisation and nutritional properties, blended swiftly with supercilious Monoi De Tahiti Tiare, Wheatgerm and Jojoba oils.
Delightfully scented with the sensual flowers of the Tahitian Gardenia, Lavender and Geranium.
I was really excited to try this one as the name Hair Butter just sounds intensely rich and moisturising and the product is exactly that consisting of Avocado Butter, Brazilian Butter, Virgin Coconut, Mafura Butter and a myriad of other ingredients! It comes in a lovely black plastic jar with a helpful separate internal cover to prevent leakages. The texture and colour is that of ghee (clarified butter), it's a pale yellow, solid buttery emulsion which melts with body temperature. When I received the products my tub was solid but because of the heatwave we had here in the last few weeks it has melted into an oil (just like ghee). This has a sweet lemon sherbet fragrance and is really refreshing and pleasant to use.
I've used this a few times and find it a little too rich for my hair, I find I need to use this very very sparingly or else it weighs down my hair or I just use it as an overnight treatment. In fact my other half has nabbed this off me, he has wavy hair that is prone to frizziness and enjoys using hair butters and creams to help tame his unruly hair. So technically this is his review haha, he's been using the Hair Butter for the past few weeks now and said that it definitely controls the frizz and leaves his hair feeling very soft, he also uses it on his beard hair and it helps to soften it somewhat and keep it in place. This tub was filled to the brim so you can see how much he's used!
What I've noticed from both of our experiences is that his hair being a little more drier seems to handle oils and creams better, he is able to use a lot more product than I can and it absorbs a lot better than mine and doesn't get weighed down as quickly, whereas my hair gets greasy and saturated with product really quickly and turns into a clump of oily hair. From this comparison the Hair Butter is definitely suited for those with dry and frizzy hair, if you have thick, coarse and dry hair I think you will love this, it's intensely moisturising!
These products have been an absolute treat for my hair and have thankfully nursed my hair back into it's normal state, it's most certainly made me want to pamper my hair a lot more now. Thank you to Reem for sending these gems my way, I definitely recommend them if you're looking for some quality products to treat your tresses and I think these would also make fabulous gifts with the beautiful packaging.
