Faith In Nature Natural Coconut Conditioner, Hydrating

Coconut is a protein mimic so this will not suit everyone’s hair. However, for those of us whose hair likes protein, it’s fab. Good slip, very nourishing and ideal when diluted as a cowash or leave in per the Curly Girl Method. Used as a straight conditioner, left in for 5 minutes before rinsing, it works very well and is nourishing. Add some olive or almond oil occasionally for a simple deep conditioning treatment. Do watch the price fluctuations on amazon and time your purchase if you can to get the most economical deal. The absence of common irritants such as SLS, or SLES in this range makes it well worth considering for sensitive skin. (Do a 24-hour patch test with any new product if prone to eczema etc, is only common sense). The smell is divine, you can really tell pure coconut has been used, not some sickly artificial fragrance. Suitable scent for men or women. I decant mine into a wide-necked mason jar with a pump rather than faffing about with funnels etc, or attaching a FIN pump to the 5l container, which let us face it , is a bit too big for a domestic bathroom shelf.

Closed-loop plastic processing is easy. Just send the clean empty container back to Faith in Nature as per their website, where it will be reused. This is a FREEPOST service, so costs you nothing except an occasional stroll to the Post Office at your convenience. This is a major brownie point in environmental sustainability other manufacturers have yet to match imho. Other green ticks include no petrochemicals, or palm oil in the ingredients, it’s made in the UK, and it’s vegan so is cruelty-free.

There should be a FIN variety for everyone’s hair type. They do sell smaller bottles so you can test to see which variety suits you best before taking the plunge with 5 full litres of your favourite variety. The full range includes a fragrance-free version and I am really looking forward to seeing the Shea Butter and Argan oil variety produced for sale in the 5l, zero plastic waste containers sometime soon.

It’s an ideal product for hotels, B&Bs, & AirBNB’s too since those teeny tiny plastic sample size bottles generate so much unnecessary product and plastic waste and consumers are increasingly looking at the green credentials of hospitality proprietors when booking. The brand is established and very well respected.
