Aubrey Organics – Ginkgo Leaf & Ginseng Root Hair Moisturizing Jelly

This product is all natural and is designed to keep frizz at bay without being sticky, stiff or gooey.  Although it’s described as a jelly it’s more like a gel than anything else.

While the product is often recommended for people with naturally curly hair which falls in the 3C, 4A or 4B categories it does not work for all people all of the time.

Product Description
Mandarin Magic Ginkgo Leaf & Ginseng Root Hair Moisturizing Jelly.

Eight hair-nourishing Chinese herbals, plus hair-thickening vitamin B-5 and herbal gums add up to one superb styling product that moisturizes as it holds. Adds body and shine without weighing down the hair.

Product Reviews

This product is attractive, especially to people with naturally curly hair who wish to go completely natural.  The beauty of Aubrey Organics Ginko Leaf & Ginseng Root Hair Moisturizing Jelly is that it is all natural.  It does not contain any plastics, parabens or silicones.

Some users have found that while the product is useful for creating a light curl definition and shine, it is not as moisturizing as competitive products.  If moisture is your concern you will need to look at other similar products.

One common complaint about this product is that it does tend to flake after it dries.  This is a common problem for gels and jelly products.  The aroma is fresh with a clean orange-like scent.  It does contain good hair slip.  This gel-like product is very light and hair tends to dry smooth not sticky.  It also tends to create a wet look on hair so if you want a fluffier look this product may not work for you.

One initial challenge is learning to use just a small amount.  A little bit goes a very long way.  Depending on the type, texture, length and condition of your hair a little bit goes a very long way.

I’ve been making homemade hair care products since I was in grade school.

My very first homemade hair care recipe was a fresh lemon juice spritz applied to my hair before I sat in the sun.

Did my lemon blonding recipe work?  Nope.  Not only did it not lighten my tresses, it actually dried them to a crisp.

Although many people recommend lemon for lightening hair, it doesn’t work.

In some cases such as hair lightening there may not be a homemade hair care recipe.  Homemade recipes are not necessarily the end all and the be all of hair care.  It wish I could say it was, but it isn’t. (more…)

The summer weekends are equated with relaxation; fun in the sun and warm weather getaways. But, getting there is half the battle…

Inconvenient long lines, pushy patrons, travel delays, and the overall discomforts go hand in hand with summer travel. Fortunately, there is an easy way to bring comfort to long-haul trips.

As a baby I suffered from croup which at first appearance freaked my parents completely out.  Croup continued to haunt me every Spring and Fall for years.  Some years it thankfully passed me by.

When I was a senior in high school it returned with a vengeance although the medical doctors deemed it a viral lung infection rather than croup. It felt like croup, it sounded like croup and a cool vaporizer helped me breathe like it did when I had croup as a child.  But it was not called croup by the doctors.

Regardless, I had the barking cough and the symptoms worsening at night along with difficulty breathing.  As a result I came very close to missing my senior Prom because my doctor advised my parents to not let me go out into the night air until I was completely fever and cough free.  Luckily I managed to recover with only 2 days to spare.

From that point forward I never really got a head cold.  I always caught a chest cold which closely resembled croup although my doctors told me you can’t really get croup after you’re a baby or a child.  Is that really true?

Actually it’s not.  Croup is just one type of viral infection. (more…)
