Original Sprout Island Bliss Hair Care Products Review & Giveaway US 12/16


Original Sprout was founded by Inga Tritt in 2003. The name Sprout was inspired by the birth of her daughter Maya in 2002. Inga was born in Germany and grew up in Montecito, California. She has a love of nature, art and architecture which has led her to a successful career as a Master Stylist. Inga wanted to be a full time mom so she sold her salons and spas and moving to the country where she lives and creates her safe professional products for families worldwide.

Island Bliss Collection
The Island Bliss Collection ($64.99ARV) is good for use with all hair types, but also helps protects hair that is color treated from fading. The collection includes Island Bliss Shampoo, Island Bliss Conditioner & Tahitian Hair Oil. Like Original Sprout's other shampoos and conditioners this collection also naturally moisturizes your hair with safe and gentle ingredients. They use a Worry-Free formula which is free of sulfats, parabens and other damaging ingredients. To help strengthen and soothe hair they use vegetable proteins and organic extracts. Original Sprout's shampoos are also easy rinsing, including their Original Little Sprouts Hair & Body Wash.

I GREATLY enjoy using these products! In fact, Ezio had been playing around in the bathroom and my shampoo was MIA, I HAD to find it! I colored my hair earlier this year and although I was using a color treated hair protection shampoo from a salon, my hair BLED like crazy! I was so upset as my beautiful red and hair turned to a nasty orange within just days!! It was so bad that I had to continue to wipe my forehead while showering and if I felt any water run down from my head even after getting out of the shower because I was loosing so much of the color that it was dying my skin! I had more hair dye stains on my skin just from showering then I did when I originally had it dyed. It was horrible. However, after receiving this hair care collection I have not seen a single tinge of hair color in the water while showering!! I'm so excited about this! I do not have the beautiful deep red that I so deeply loved, but the color has finally stopped bleeding out with using this line of products meaning my hair has not been stripped down to the ugly bleached hair color. Yes, I had to dye my hair because my hair is nearly black! Okay, most people think my hair is black, but it is just a really really dark brown.

I also love using this shampoo on the whole family after we've gone swimming. Usually mine and my daughter's hair become rough and super dry like hay after swimming in a treated pool. My hair even becomes gross from swimming in natural water ways, such as a pond or river. This shampoo and conditioner bring all of our hair back to life and soft and smooth again within two hair washings, depending on how long we were in the pool. Dan even used it after swimming and loved it, didn't care that it was a "mom" shampoo, he was just happy that his hair wasn't hay.

While this shampoo is very moisturizing, obviously if it can turn hay feeling hair into beautiful soft and smooth hair in one to two washes, then it must be full of tons of moisturizer right? So wouldn't that cause oily or greasy hair? NOPE! I have naturally very greasy hair and if anything this shampoo and it's naturally moisturizing abilities have helped neutralize my overly greasy hair! I'm always hesitant to use shampoos in which say that they are moisturizing shampoos and conditions are just a flat out no-no for my hair. But, with this collection from Original Sprout, I have had fantastic results with the shampoo, am able to use the conditioner with no issues and I can even use the Tahitian Hair Oil!! I never in my life thought I'd ever be able to use hair oils, but I can definitely use this one and I do!

We've tried both the Original Sprouts Baby products and now these products for moms and this is one of the few hair product companies in which what they advertise and say about their products is actually the truth!! I've seen other companies try to advertise their products as being good for all hair types and they just absolutely ruin my hair! I am in love with Original Sprout and every single mommy group on Facebook that I am in, I definitely recommend Original Sprout before any other brand! Especially for their Baby Scrumptious Body Lotion, it is amazing for Cade and Ezio's sensitive skin and eczema. You can read our review about their baby products here.

Original Sprout Baby Care Products Review & Giveaway! US 7/4

Cade's 3rd Birthday Bash!

About Original Sprout
The Original Sprout was founded by Inga Tritt in 2003. The name Sprout was inspired by the birth of her daughter Maya in 2002. Inga was born in Germany, but grew up in Montecito, California. She has a love for nature, art and architecture, which led her to her successful career as a Master Stylist. She wanted to be a full time so she sold her salons and spas and moved to the country, where she lives creating safe professional products for families worldwide. 

Inga created a first of it's kind, ultra moisturizing natural baby bath and styling products for her newborn daughter's thick hair. She wanted to use the safest bath products, so she tried natural baby shampoos, however to her surprise all of the shampoos wreaked havoc on her daughter's hair and sensitive skin. Inga benefited from being a master stylist with professional experience and as a mother with real life experience bringing her adventure in finding the right shampoo for her daughter into Original Sprout, which is a globally trusted natural family brand. 


Hair & Body Baby wash
The Hair & Body Babywash is an extra moisturizing cleanser that gently washes away dryness, cradle cap, eczema, psoriasis, baby acne, heat rash, diaper rash and skin irritations.

I've used this on both of my boys when they have had diaper rashes, usually after just one bath using this awesome Hair & Body Babywash and a little air drying afterwards their rash clears up by the next diaper change. We use cloth diapers so I try to avoid using diaper creams as much as possible so I don't have to worry about the cream soaking through a liner or wondering if I should strip my diapers just in case, etc. 
Both of the boys also have sensitive skin and eczema, no matter how rough their skin is when they get into the bath tub, they always come out feeling as soft as a "baby's bottom"! Just for good measure, before drying them off I apply the Scrumptious Baby Cream to try and help extend the protection and softness of their skin til their next bathes.

Scrumptious Baby Cream
Scrumptious Baby Cream is a soothing protective barrier that helps keep skin sift and smooth. This cream has multiple benefits and is infused with Natural Zinc for Environmental Protection. Scrumptious Baby Cream has rosemary in it, which insects do not like, it also helps calm and soothe sensitive skin. A non-greasy and extra hydrating for any and all skin types, it also leaves skin soft, moist and as smooth as velvet. You can use this cream on babies, children and adults. 

With other lotions and creams I have tried on my two boys' skin they often seem a bit itchy after I've applied it. However, after apply this Scrumptious Baby Cream they do not seem to be bothered by, like they don't even feel it on their skin! I also love how the scent is like a fresh baby scent, not too strong, but enough that they still smell nice and clean even after a long day of playing or even a few days after the have had a bath. 
My skin is super moist and with out using any special moisturizing products I have always been told that my skin feels as soft as baby skin. Most lotions and creams that I have tried just sit on top of my skin and really bother me! With this Scrumptious Baby Cream I don't even feel it on my skin and I love that!

Deep Conditioner
Did you know that hard water, sun, wind and pollution can dehydrate your hair, which can make your hair prone to tangles, frizzies and flyaways? This specialized family formula Deep Conditioner cares for every hair type, transforming frizies into ringlets and flyaways into smooth, silky hair. This is a safe and effective natural choice for your whole family! This deep conditioner can be used for babies, children and adults with all hair types and textures. It is rich in moisture and protein.
 Jedilynn, my 7 year old daughter, has super thick hair and it is wavy, was very curly when before we gave her, her first hair cut at about 5 years old. Her hair becomes pretty frizzy during humid summer months as well as winter months as it becomes dry in our old house. Using the Deep Conditioner in her hair has really helped to tame her hair. 

Miracle Detangler
Miracle Detangler is a professional quick release formula that makes tough tangles history. Tangles release immediately making combing effortless! This non-greasy detangler leave hair silky, soft and naturally fresh. Combing is fast, painless and safe as the comb or brush glides through hair with organic and natural ingredients. You can also use the Miracle Detangler anytime for a fresh feeling or event o calm frizzies! Great for all types of hair styles and thicknesses, helps prevent breakage as well!
 Jedilynn's hair becomes so tangled so quickly! I can literally comb through her hair and if she walks, runs, twirls her hair is tangled like it wasn't even brushed! She also gets really bad tangles and brushing/combing her hair really hurts her head. The Miracle Detangler is just as the name says, Miracle! It truly has helped to make mornings a lot smoother! No more tears, no more fights and a lot less pain!! She still says ouch every now and then, but she is a 7 year old girl, a bit dramatic! You could toss a piece of popcorn at her and she would probably say ouch. But that is how girls are. 
 I also have hair that tangles super easy and I used to just deal with the pain and all the breakage from brushing my hair with out detangler because they are usually greasy and my hair is way more then oily enough by it's self. I really like using this Miracle Detangler though on my own hair as well! I don't notice added oiliness in my hair from it and it really does help release or loosen up those tangles. My hair is just above my waist, pretty long! So lots and lots of brushing, makes my arm pretty tired, especially with lots of tangles, but the Miracle Detangler helps a ton! Speeds up the process and lessens the soreness in my arm. 

 Even more benefits of using Original Sprout?!
 What could be better then a baby cream made with Organic Rosemary, which lice and insects do not like?
