The Secret to Perfect Hair from the Amazon River

cocoonhair.com

After bad highlights followed by corrective coloring my hair was fried — until I met Fabian Lliguin, a 20-year veteran of the hair industry and an ecoagent who helps save the Amazon rainforest and its native tribes. After frequent trips to the Amazon regions, he noticed the native women’s beautiful healthy and shiny hair. Their secret? Oils from the rainforest floor, which Fabian smartly bottled up and created Rahua. After just one use, all the color damage on my head was eased, and my old healthy hair was back. As for the “Hair Shaman,” as Fabian is referred to, he travels back and forth from the Amazon, where he creates the leave-in conditioning treatment by hand, bringing it back to his NYC salon. Though Fabian’s Rahua elixar is $125 (get a trial size for only $20), little is needed to see results and 100% of the profits are given directly back to the rainforest — good hair, good cause!

oh. it sounds too good to be true–so i have my doubts. i’ve tried a lot of “miracle products” like this one (less expensive of course) and all they do is weigh my thin hair down and make it look dirty and oily. maybe this one is different–too bad it’s over 100 dollars.
