I switched to Sulfate-free shampoos more than a year ago and that has helped a lot in improving the overall look and feel of my thick, coarse hair. So, I am always up for checking out sulfate-free hair products that have gentle, naturally-sourced ingredients to keep my hair nourished and healthy. Recently I tried Bassu Hydrating Moisture shampoo and conditioner from Surface hair care which is an eco-friendly line of hair products formulated with certified organic ingredients.
Product Details
Gentle and Thorough Cleansing Bassu Hydrating Shampoo provides luxurious moisture for dry hair. Natural palm and coconut oils gently cleanse while babassu seed oil penetrates and softens.
Moisturize, Shine and Soften Bassu Hydrating Conditioner has Babassu, Aloe and Flax Seed Oil that combine for the ultimate in penetrating moisture, shine and condition. The Babassu tree known as “The Tree of Life”, is a superior emollient for dry or oily hair and skin. Aloe soothes and heals. Flax seed is antioxidant rich and is nature’s richest cource of omega-3.
Color Retention All Surface products are infused with “Color Lock Vita Complex”. This complex combines Ceramide 3 and Vitamin A,C, E antioxidants which provides internal color retention and an external UV shield by reducing free radicals and preventing oxidative damage.
I have been using Bassu Hydrating shampoo and conditioner for almost two weeks now. These two products are meant for dry/damaged hair that need extra nourishment.
Bassu Hydrating Shampoo – This gentle (SLS free) hydrating shampoo has a creamy formula that does not lather up a whole lot. I work it through my hair by massaging gently and it rinses out easily leaving my hair thoroughly clean and not feeling coarse to touch. It does not strip my color treated hair and makes it look healthier. Although it is an oil-based shampoo, my hair does not feel heavy or weighed down. And it smells so good too!
Bassu Hydrating Conditioner – I have tried a lot of conditioners, both drugstore and high-end, for my very dry, frizzy hair to keep them moisturized and soft to touch. Bassu hydrating conditioner is definitely one of the best and does a great job of moisturizing, softening and adding shine to my dry tresses. I just leave it in my hair for a minute or two as I finish up my shower and it leaves my hair so smooth and soft without the grease factor. Just like the shampoo, it smells amazing (just wish the scent lasted longer).
Overall, I am very pleased with Bassu Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner as the combo keeps my hair replenished with luxurious moisture – just what my dry hair needs! The natural properties of this duo, certified organic extracts, no sulfates, parabens, phthalates, DEA, TEA and the fact that Surface products are not tested on animals all make them a winner in my book. The retail price of Bassu Moisture Hydrating shampoo (10oz) and conditioner (6oz) is $23.95 and $18.95 respectively.
Surface hair products are available for sale exclusively in professional salons throughout the US and Canada. You can use the salon locator on surfacehair.com to find a salon closest to you.

Vintage Makeup says
Ooh it sounds fabulous! You do have lovely hair 🙂
Fabuless Beauty says
I started using sulfate free shampoos and at first I liked it, but over time, it weighed down my fine hair. But since you have coarser hair, it works for you!
Harshleen says
Fabuless Beauty – You are right, those with oily or fine hair won’t like it much as it helps to keep the volume down.
Harshleen says
Vintage Makeup – That’s sweet of you…..thanks 🙂
Nivedita says
This looks good. Hair woes are so annoying. I had been having a bad hair phase which luckily kind of sorted out
Harshleen says
Nivedita – Good to hear from you after a long time! I am glad you hair issues are sorted out 🙂
Katrina says
I have read some article that SLS is harmful chemical. I do not about the reasons behind this but I want to make an inquiry if it is okay to use products with SLS.
Harshleen says
Katrina – It’s best to avoid hair products with SLS if you can especially if you have dry hair since they tend to strip the natural oils from your hair and make them even drier.
spiral staircase says
We frequently locate ourselves seeking to make
particular alterations to our properties, and one of the factors that
could be enjoyable to modernize is the design of
the banister on our decks. Most properties that were constructed over fifteen several years ago have been developed
with decks created with wooden banisters, and a single way to
give them a modern search is to substitute them with aluminum ones.
There are a number of resources that you will require
for a productive deck rework, specifically epoxy glue, a pair of
pliers, a saw, and stair balusters with sneakers.

Very good site you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article?
I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get suggestions from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

I like this, allow me to put my two cents in…If you are in the market for
a piece of jewelry you can realize significant savings by waiting
for the right time of year to buy. Christmas and Valentine’s day are especially busy times of the year for jewelers, and they may be less likely to negotiate during these times of year.
