Beauty Must-Have: Dr. Hauschka’s Neem Hair Oil

People sometimes ask me how I can continually get blond highlights on the regular yet still manage to maintain soft hair that’s not damaged into oblivion. My answer? Dr. Hauschka’s Neem Hair Oil. Yes, most tend to shudder when I couple the words “hair” and “oil” together, but the answer is a resounding NO! it doesn’t make your hair slimy and YES! it washes out super easy, leaving locks smooth but grease-free.

I use this product about once a week—I like to look at it as a regular at-home “spa treatment,” if you will. I would recommend it to anyone who wants stronger, healthier hair, but especially to those who subject their hair to thermal heat on a daily basis. Neem oil (derived from neem leaf) will not only protect it pre-styling, it will simultaneously infuse it with repairing essential oils.

I simply put a quarter-size dollop in my hands and then I gently work it into my hair, especially the ends. If I want to go extra-long in between blowouts, I’ll refrain from putting it on the top half of my head and concentrate on the tips. The 3.4 oz bottle will only cost you about $30.00 and trust me: it lasts… forever. I think most girls know that a little oil (of any kind!) goes a long way. I can’t even remember when I bought my last bottle it has lasted so long! Of course, this all depends on how much you use, how damaged your hair is, and how long it is, but just know that this is definitely a smart chica buy.

Oh, and might I add that celebrity fans of  Dr. Hauschka include Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and Chloë Sevigny? Mmmhhhm. I think we’d all agree that if it’s good enough for Brad Pitt… it’s good enough for us, ladies. Am I right?
