Hairy Kids - GIVEAWAY!!

Jonathan has reached the age where he likes to wear hair gel! All these older kids with spiky "porcupine" hair have inspired him, I guess! He's been using Richard's "manly gel" until just recently, which worked well of course for getting his hair sticking straight up, but was hard to wash out of his kid hair, and made his hair smell very strong and, well, manly! :) Not really appropriate for a 4-year old! Plus, with so many allergies and scent-sensitivities in our extended family, he couldn't use it all the time, much to his disappointment. So, I started looking for something different, a gel that would keep his hair stiff, but be made from natural, non-irritating ingredients. I really lucked out when I found Hairy Kids!

Hairy Kids makes shampoo, conditioner, body wash/bubble bath and hair gel, in 3 different scents, as well as an unscented product line anyone can use. All their products are made using certified highest quality ingredients and all natural preservatives. As well, the products are all:

• dye free 
• fragrance free 
• paraben free 
• gmo free
• sodium lauryl sulfate free 
• essential oil scented 
• biodegradable 
• packaged in recyclable bottles 
• ph balanced 
• fair trade 
• not tested on animals 
• made in Canada

Hairy Kids sent Jonathan a bottle of hair gel in "lemonade" scent. He is so pleased to have his own gel at last, and I'm pleased with how it works on his hair. His "porcupine" prickles stick up nicely for as long as he (and I) want, but not forever, as it relaxes over time. It leaves no white sticky residue in his hair, and washes out very easily. The lemon smell is obvious but not overpowering and disappears quickly, which is helpful in our scent-sitive family.

As well, Jonathan and Daniel have been trying out a sample bottle of all (yes ALL!) of the other products in ALL of the scent variations! Everything we've tried has worked really well. Something I've noticed with natural hygiene products, especially bubble bath, is that there aren't as many bubbles as "synthetic" bubble bath. This bubble bath makes enough bubbles to keep the kids happy, but still leaves the water clear enough for washing hair and bodies at the end of the bath.

You can buy Hairy Kids products online directly from them, at a few online retailers, or at some retailers throughout Canada. Check the store finder for a retailer near you.
