I came across a video by a lady on You tube who posted a video review on the Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil line with Olive Oil whose video was truly touching.
(You can view it below) She revealed how her hair was falling out in hand-fulls after washes, and how terrifying it was for her to go through. My heart went out to her, because I too experienced something similar.
I made some silly mistakes in the past bleaching and coloring my hair, that my hair finally gave up and started falling out.
I found during this time when I had washed or brushed my hair, it would fall out in large amounts. It is a traumatizing experience to loose your hair, because you fear that you soon will become bald in a few washes.
She found that the Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise was the only product that built her hair back up, without having more hair loss occur. Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise combines essential oils and organic amino acids, a blend of botanical extracts and herbs with whole egg protein and olive oil which is meant for REALLY dry damaged hair. It does moisturize over processed hair with essential oils, organic amino acids and Vitamin B5 for moisture and strength.
The Hair Mayo was designed as a deep conditioner for fragile hair which is prone to breakage. This product line has received exceptional reviews especially with ethnic women.
It DOES contain great organic ingredients, it really falls short when it comes to the preservatives. I list below some ingredients that are highly questionable in this product. At the same time, this product shows the rejuvenating nature of protein that is contained in eggs, and olive oil for restorative qualities that we should be considering in a deep conditioner.
Organic Root Stimulator Line, while not marked for ethnic hair, has had excellent reviews from ethnic women. Many women claim that this conditioner is the best for deep conditioning, it can be recommended for all women for deep conditioning. Many ethnic women who have reviewed this product claim their hair grows after using this product. Although this product is not marketed for ethnic women in general, some women have reviewed this product to be too rich in oil making their hair seem greasy, leaving them draw the conclusion that it might be meant for ethnic hair. This product is very inexpensive, so do give it a try to see if it works for your hair.
When my hair began falling out, I found the only thing that worked in my hair was a cholesterol deep conditioner, by Queen Helene called Cholesterol. Having over processed chemically striped blonde hair, I needed a series of treatments for several months to restore my hair from a series of bad decisions. I found this treatment softened my hair, gave it some bounce and less hair fell out when I used the product.
Queen Helene Cholesterol Hair Conditioning Cream-DIRECTIONS: Shampoo hair and towel dry. Apply to hair and scalp. Make sure dry or damaged hair is well covered. Add a few drops of warm water and work into a creamy lather. Cover hair with a plastic cap, then cover with a heating cap or a hot towel. Keep on for 15 to 30 minutes. Remove cap and rinse thoroughly until all cream is removed. Do not shampoo.
A protein conditioner like Organic Root Stimulator Line is anything that adds protein to hair. The ORS line adds egg protein and olive oil into their product to restore moisture. Words like "keratin" "mayonnaise" "egg" "collagen" "amino acids" are all ingredients that add protein into the hair.
A cholesterol conditioneron the other hand is also great for hair that is damaged from over processing. Cholesterol replenishes the moisture into dehydrated, damaged and brittle hair. Cholesterol contains lipoproteins which has a combination of fats and proteins. Hair lipids are made up of fatty acids which provide shine to the hair. Over Processing from chemicals, hair styling will make the hair lipids dull, dry and brittle. Cholesterol contain lipids that the hair needs if it is damaged.
One simple test is to take a piece of wet hair which has naturally fallen out, and pull on it steadily. What you can do is wrap both ends of the hair around your fingers and test to see if the hair stretches with a slight pull in both directions. If the hair stretches, but shrinks back when you let go, then most likely the hair has enough protein. If the hair stretches a lot, but then does not shrink back, it lacks protein. If the hair strand seems to stretch and break, (or simply breaks) then try both protein and cholesterol treatments.
Another simple test for damaged hair is to place a strand of hair in a cup of water for 2 minutes. If the hair is floating, then the hair is strong and a cholesterol conditioner can be used for good maintenance. If the hair sinks, it might be quite damaged and a protein treatment could be the first thing to start to recover the hair.
Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo provides hair with maximum moisturizers leaving it soft and more manageable.
The ORS (Organic Root Stimulator Line ) are labeled Organic, it also doesn't mean it doesn't contain some questionable ingredients. Some of these ingredients such as alcohol, parabens, sulfates, cones, linalool, petrolatum, prophylene glycol, cyclopentasiloxane are NOT GOOD for your hair. I am not a chemist, so I have a limited education with ingredients. Here is a list of the ingredients from the Organic Root Stimulator Line that were found to be very questionable:

By Karla SeeleyOrganic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo I had decided to try the olive oil perm kit 2 weeks ago for the first time and when I discovered this wonderful olive oil shampoo that comes in the kit, oh my god never knew this stuff was that good it is so moisturizing has a real nice slip from any other shampoo I have tried.
By S. Rose Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo -I now swear by the Organic Root Stimulator Line. My relaxed hair has improved tremendously because of it. I especially love this shampoo because it has a rich, creamy lather and leaves my hair great-smelling and healthy. I highly recommend it.
Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner
The Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner is a good, thick consistency. It adheres very well to the hair without dripping onto your neck and shoulders.
Directions
After shampooing with the ORGANIC Root Stimulator? Olive Oil Creamy Aloe Shampoo, apply a generous amount to hair and comb through for thorough distribution. Place a plastic cap over the hair and sit under a warm dryer for 10-15 minutes or leave on the hair for 45 minutes to 1 hour without heat. Rinse thoroughly.
TiyeR -I have relaxed hair and I deep conditioned my hair with this the day before I went to the hair salon so I wouldn't have to pay for a deep conditioning there. This did a wonderful job. I left it in my hair for about an hour and my hair was extremely soft and so easy to comb through once I rinsed it out. I didn't dry my hair; just twisted it and undid the twists the next morning. Super-soft. So when I got my hair done at the salon, the end result was really moisturized, soft and healthy hair. This is great for African American hair, natural or relaxed.
Some Reviews:
By JJM4Life Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner(Misc.)I'm always looking for good conditioners for my dry hair. I used this conditioner for the first time, and I can honestly say it's great. I washed my hair and applied this product and sat under my hooded dryer for 30 minutes. When I rinsed it out of my hair, my hair felt like silk.After blow drying and flat ironing my hair feels so soft. So this will now be one of my staple products. Now on the other hand, my best friend used this product and says it left her hair feeling very thick and coated. Her hair is already thick so that's the last thing she needs. Me on the other hand, I have thin hair, and strive for thickness. So obviously it works for some and not for others. But as long as they make it I'm going to continue to use it.
By K. Holmes- Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner -I have been battling dry hair off and on for a while now due to going to school in areas with very hard water, but when I moved to go to an out-of-state school (harder water, still, in Miami), my hair seemed irreparable.It was so dry that I had to completely give up blow drying, my hair was falling like crazy when I combed it because it was so brittle and no amount of oil (natural or store purchased)or moisturizing sheen seemed to help. My scalp was flaking like crazy due to all of the dryness and I couldn't find relief. I had done everything I could. I got a shower filter in hopes that that would help, but it was only a minimal difference. I used the best conditioners, like Matrix Biolage conditioning balm and even resorted to homemade treatments like avocado and banana pre shampoo masks, but nothing moisturized enough. Many things would make my hair soft for a day or two, but it was still bone dry!
This is the ONLY product that actually gave me my hair back!! I can see a difference after one use and I have slip again! I combed my hair out with no tangles for once! I was able to actually do a good job on my roller wrap because my hair wasn't drying out before I could even section it off before beginning. This stuff is AMAZING! My hair was soft, smooth, and even SHINY! That's such a rarity for my dull hair color and the dryness did not help at all. Check the ingredients, it's all about the natural oils.After conditioning, your hair looks and feels like you've sprayed it with a light sheen because it's so soft and smooth. Black women, this is the difference...this is why we need products made for us and by us because many people try and just don't understand black hair needs. I'm so glad this is now sold in a full size bottle!! I was seriously considering spending $40 on Alter Ego (which IS very good - shea and coconut worked wonders for me at my local salon), but now I don't need to!!
If you have fine, oily, or mix textured hair (as in you are biracial), you may want to try the pack first. This conditioner is heavily based from natural oils that will likely be too much for oilier hair types.
Con: the orange-y smell from the orange oil is a bit much (smells like orange Ozium air freshener), but somewhat refreshing at the same time, if that makes any sense at all
By kimsamram Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner -
I can only say that this product is excellent. This is the first review that I have ever written on Amazon and it is fitting that it should go to this product. My hair is natural and gray. It was shedding everywhere. I used this product and my hair is actually soft and manageable. Let me tell you I have unruly, very dry hair. This conditioner allows me to pull a comb through my hair. Thanks a million.
Jessica's Hair From Sally Beauty Supply Site- Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise"I once used this product when I was 18, I'm 26 now, it made my hair grown about an inch the next day. but It could have been something else I don't know, but this is what I used the day before it grew an inch.."
By Krissy M - Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner The whole olive organic olive oil line is great but especially the conditioner. I have very thick dry frizzy but fragile hair and this conditioner has made all the difference. It truly restores moisture to your hair and especially good if u have damaged hair. I now can straighten my hair and it looks wonderful. I was considering investing in expensive flatirons and i do not have to because the process of straightening my hair is that much easier. I have never used a product that has had such good results with my hair. I have seen a dramatic improvement in my hair and so has everyone else!
By Blissfully Black Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner -This product has definitely been a God-send for my relaxed hair. It's a protein/moisturizingmix that smells like oranges (so if you hate oranges, you might want to stay away. I will say the smell doesn't linger though.) I put some on, deep condition with a shower cap under my bonnet dryer for 15 minutes and rinse out. My hair feels amazing AND it detangle so easily.
By Abby Blair Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner I've been using this for a couple of years. I've been bouncing between relaxers, weaves, short straight cuts, and everything in between. This has become my go to conditioner. It leaves my hair soft enough to feel good, but not so limp that I can't do anything with it. It works on all textures in my family. My mother has very coarse hair and uses it, my grandmother and aunt have very fine hair, and they like it as well. I don't recommend leaving this conditioner, or any conditioner, in your hair for a very long time because it will dry your hair out. I like to sit under the dryer with a shower cap for about 15-30 minutes, and rinse. It's helped with tangles in weave and in my real hair, and I've used it to soften up my hair while removing braids. Definitely a 5-star product.
By Eliysheva F.Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner Occasionally, I would apply coconut oil to moisturize my brittle hair but someone once told me to incorporate olive oil treatmentsto my hair regimen and my hair will improve. I suffer from Atopic Dermatitis and sometimes my scalp can get so dry that my hair suffers the consequences. I decided to give this product a try along with the Mane N Tail Shampoo/Conditioner/Detangler (for my method see my review on those products) which I purchased the same day. These products compliment and work together really well. My hair is now softer, EVEN shinier like when I was a kid - before I started messing with hair products. Since I am trying to grow my hair longer, at least five inches more as noted in my other reviews, I am taking Biotin which I upgraded to 5000mcg a day. Started Biotin this spring 2010,RD and my hair has grown considerably. Cheers.
