Garnier is the new L’Oreal

I have about two feet of hair.  Some people say it looks beautiful and maybe it does but truth be told, I’m lazy and I just don’t like to spend time styling my hair, so long hair is easiest for me.  I’ve been called a fashionista but I describe myself as “slobby-chic.” Anyway, to tame my monster mane I used to use L’Oreal Elvive Total Repair Conditioner and L’Oreal Evercreme Deep Nourish Conditioner.  The Total Repair comes in a plastic tub that can be recycled and the Deep Nourish comes in a flexible plastic tube that cannot be recycled. When I got to the end of my glorious hair butter, I looked for a better option with the planet in mind.  There isn’t much for options in planet-friendly hair care. At the very least, you should buy something that can be recycled. I decided to try Garnier because they have teamed up with TerraCycle and have a free recycling program for the majority of their products.  When you send your empty Garnier containers back to TerraCycle, you earn points and later you can use your points to help protect the rainforest. Everyone loves the rainforest, right? Well, not the people who cut it down but they don’t count anyway. I now use Garnier Fructis Smoothing Treat One Minute Hair Mask.  At first, I didn’t like it. My hair didn’t seem as smooth and it just wasn’t the same. I continued to use it and now I love it. I think my hair went through a mourning period and together (my hair and I) we are stronger and better than before. You can sign up for free recycling programs through Terracycle. There is no cost and they cover the shipping label when you mail in your containers. Check out the free recycling program through TerraCycle, you’ve got nothing to lose and rainforest to gain!
