New Launches from Neil George Hair Care

The Neil George salon in Beverly Hills was founded in April 2005 by hairstylists Amanda George and Neil Weisberg. Their line of hair care products were created to keep hair healthy and shiny, by using natural ingredients. I recently tried a couple of their new products:

Refresh Dry Shampoo ($21.00 3.2 oz) – Have you tried a dry shampoo yet? They are great if you are unable to wash your hair or if you love your style (or blow-out today) and do want to wash it away.  Refresh Dry Shampoo has a unique blend of plants and fruits to absorb oil and sebum from the scalp, restoring health and refreshing hair without having to wash it.  The website states, “A powerful complex of Jaborandi, Cherimoya and Gotu Kola combine to stimulate circulation, optimize hair health and provide a dose of niacin and thiamin, improving the strength of the hair root itself. Paraben Free.”

I spray this at the roots of my hair and wait 30 seconds, then rub it in. It has a nice fresh smell and doesn’t leave my hair stiff or dry. My hair remains soft and manageable with this spray and is noticabley less oily at the roots. This is a good product to have around for bad hair days!

Perfect Hold Hairspray ($22.00 8.5 oz) – This flexible hold hairspray  includes complex blend of exclusive oils  such as Shikekai oil, Eclipta Oil and Indian Gooseberry Oil  that claims to create an enriching base while Panthenol and UV protectors fortify and strengthen the hair.  Both the scalp and hair are conditioned without buildup and protected from over styling through the spray’s long-lasting moisturization.

I don’t usually use hairspray on my long, blunt cut hair. I do use it if I straighten or curl my hair. But I have been using this ever day, and I really like that it smooths my hair and doesn’t leave it stiff or sticky. The style lasts all day, too! I think this will be great for the Spring and Summer when I am outside more often because of the UV protectors and that the oils will help protect from the frizzies.

Neil George Hair Care

The Neil George salon in Beverly Hills was founded in April 2005  by hairstylists Amanda George and Neil Weisberg. Their line of hair care products were created to keep hair healthy and shiny, by using natural ingredients.

I was lucky to try three of these great products:

Intense Illuminating Shampoo ($22.00) — This shampoo is designed to hydrate dry, dehydrated and chemically treated hair. It contains Indian Gooseberry, a plant extract that has an antioxidant capacity higher than most fruits, which is touted to strengthen and repair the hair shaft from root to ends. The shampoo (and conditioner) are paraben free. I really enjoy the grapefruit sage scent and the fact that the shampoo is very moisturizing and does not strip my hair.  

Intense Illuminating Conditioner ($24.00) — This conditioner claims to restore the brilliance to color treated and under-nourished hair. Indian Gooseberry helps to strengthen and repair the hair shaft and deeply moisturize the hair leaving it smooth, luxurious, and tangle free.  I comb the conditioner through my hair and leave it in for a few minutes. The result is silky, shiny hair.

Indian G0oseberry Treatment Oil ($42.00) This treatment is touted to calm frizz and ease styling, leaving hair smooth and healthy. I comb this through damp hair and style as usual. I love the shine this gives and how healthy my hair looks after using all three of the products. I’m pretty much sold on the Indian Gooseberry as a hair care ingredient. This system is one of the best I’ve tried all summer that really keeps the frizzies at bay!
