Takara Belmont, West 56th Street, NYC
What a spot-on spot for a hair products launch...we thought-the nanosecond we walked into the elegant limestone building housing the salon equipment of leading design/manufacturer Takara Belmont..for a media preview of USDA certified organic- Intelligent Nutrients PureLuxe Shampoo and Conditioner...styling products (all new to us)--- and a terrific-made from recycled materials- Original Paddle Brush (we know fab when our wet tresses gets brushed and there's a lack of ripped out hair strands).
And on that aromatic note, we certainly thought that the lightly scented Purelux Harmonic Shampoo and Conditioner were just right.
What's as important from a user's perspective---when haircare is used...is that what's packaged on the inside- (in an eco-friendly recyclable manner) ---actually delivers on delivering shiny, soft, manageable locks...
Our hour of indulgence began with a scalp accu-pressure massage using the Focus essential oil blend with its delicate floral blend---(appropriately enough...used on our head, after all)...
...followed by two washes with the new PureLuxe Shampoo (non-toxic, color-safe)...that washed out all the dirt and gunk, easily...without the use of harsh, chemically conjured up stuff...followed by the silicone-free PureLuxe Conditioner-similarly scented...that got the knots out, and was indulgently moisturizing without weighing down our hair. (Also can be a Copoo---too---the PureLuxe Conditioner by itself-can cleanse, soothe and condition---a method we employ at least 3x a week).
A blowout was preceded with quarter sized applications (roots-tips) of the Certified Organic Hair Pomade ($29)---that prevents frizz in humid conditions without the glunky feeling---mixed with a dab of the PureLuxe conditioner ---yes, our hair is really dry...!!!
And the final touch-the Certified Organic Hair Shine ($29)---a light spray that finished the 'do---taming flyways...and as billed, adding shine. Our silky tresses were now worthy of running our fingers through without hitting a snarl...

| love-the Anti-Oxidant Lip Glosses $24---and so does our BF who prefers not kissing a chemically laden bunch of lips. |
ADDED PLUS:---all the products are the best smelling out there, we think---a natural blend that appeals to men and women, imo....and yet, def. not overwhelming...something we figure, took a lot of work to get just right.
The result-was healthy looking, fab shiny hair---that probably under a microscope----would actually be healthier too...
