Posted on October 13th, 2009 by Premium Grade Hair  |  Comments Off

naturals_hairListen up vegans… and anyone else who wants healthy hair…

Peter Lamas’ Naturals Collection may just have your recipe to solve all your hair woes. Avocado, rice, soy, and pumpkin are just some of the nourishing ingredients found in his products. Here’s a look inside his new line, which by the way is paraben-free and sulphate-free.

Soy Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner ($18.00 each): Restore and strengthen chemically treated, dry, weak or damaged hair from root to end with this set. This nourishing, ultra-hydrating formula, enriched with Amino Acids, Panthenol, Aloe and Dynsonyl detangles and prevents split ends and fly-aways. Hair will appear more lustrous and healthy after a single treatment!

Rice Protein Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner ($18.00 each): Naturally thicken and volumize hair by strengthening and expanding the diameter of the hair shaft with peptides, proteins and amino acids. Thin, weak, lifeless hair becomes noticeably more luxurious—bringing back volume, lift and bounce.

Wheatgrass Purifying Shampoo ($18.00): Detoxify and cleanse your hair without stripping hair of necessary moistures. The unique combination of Wheatgrass, Chlorella Vulgarus Extract and Phytic Acid removes excess oil, chlorine and mineral deposits from hair and scalp while Moringa Seed Extract shields your gorgeous tresses from environmental stress.

Peter Lamas Naturals’ Collection is available at Planet Blue, Studio BeautyMix at Fred Segal, Pharmaca, select Whole Foods locations or by visiting www.peterlamas.com

Shop for a Cause – Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Posted on October 6th, 2009 by Premium Grade Hair  |  Comments Off

As I’m sure you know by now, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s rare to find someone these days who hasn’t been affected by breast cancer in some way or another. Chances are you know someone who has been diagnosed with the disease. And still we have no cure! It’s so sad.

We ask that all our PGH readers does their part this month to help fight for a cure. Whether it’s participating in a walk (I’m doing one this weekend) or making a donation, we must help bring awareness to this very important cause.

Since PGH is a hair blog, we thought it would be fitting to put a list of products together in which a portion of the proceeds goes to breast cancer research/awareness.  There’s tons of them out there, but here are a few of our picks. Happy Shopping (for a cause)!!
