Lucia Iraci
August 2nd, 2006
No, this is not a perfume review. I just felt like making an exception to the rule and talk about hair care. After all, March and Patty talk about eye make-up and foundation, so I figured I’d be excused, too. Today I want to rave about Lucia Iraci line. I received some of the hair care samples in my Beautyhabit order (who are always super generous with samples!) and after just one try, I had to order the full sizes. According to Beautyhabit, Lucia Iraci has over 20 years of hairstyling experience and “her range of hair care is based upon her profound knowledge of traditiional Mediterranean plants and their uses along with her passion for treating the hair and scalp in its entirety.” Good quality hair products are essential for me. I have very fine (despicably so!) hair that also tends to get oily at the roots. On top of everything, I also shed quite a bit of it - how I haven’t gotten bald yet is a mystery. So, here’s what I’ve tried and adored from the Lucia Iraci line:
Ocean Dream Shampoo for Fine Hair - besides doing everything a shampoo should do, it smells amazing! Cardamom oil and myrtle extract - how can it not smell amazing?
Silk Detangling Baume with Lemon Pip Essential Oil - awesome texture and a Mediterranean-lemony scent. It detangles everything there is to detangle and leaves my hair super soft.
Cleansing Masque with Mediterranean Garden Lavender Essential Oil - I don’t usually do masks/deep conditioners on my hair but this one is specifically designed for oily hair, and I had a sample, so what the heck, I tried it. Mamma mia! I feel like I got a whole new head of hair! Well, the head is the same, the hair is clearly not my own.
So, I highly recommend this line, especially if you’re on the lookout for the next best shampoo/conditioner (which I always am). Even if you’re not and are happily satisfied with your Head & Shoulders, you should still try it, for the scents alone. If I haven’t convinced you yet, the products are available exclusively at Beautyhabit (in the U.S.), and their packages are out of this world - that is a good enough reason in itself.

Hmmm….same head, but different hair after that masque? I’m sold. I have super fine hair as well and have wanted new hair since I was approximately four and a half years old. Went to check out that Ocean Dream shampoo as well…Atlantic sea salt. Interesting. It’s the cardamom that really gets me on that one, though. Can’t resist cardamom. Glad to see you branched out and reviewed these!

Elle, I can’t resist cardamom either. Yes, do check out this line.

I will definitely try Ocean Dream Shampoo after my Ojon runs out. thank you very much for the heads up!

Marina, how do you like Ojon?

It’s OK. No miracles happened, I haven’t suddenly acquired a huge mane or anything…not that I really expected that to happen.

LOL! Good to know.

Sounds great! I also really like Leonor Greyl. The banana shampoo is amazing, although it is far too expensive.

Victoria, I’ve tried Leonor Greyl but can’t remember which one, and it didn’t work as well on my hair. Must try the Banana shampoo.

God, shampoo is right up there with lips and perfume…
We must truly believe in miracles!
Maybe those nice people will send samples.
One needs to wait until ALL the other shampoos we’ve tried are used up…
I enjoyed your reviewing them. Thank you, Ina

Chaya, I’m sure they’ll send you samples if you request.
I never wait to use up my shampoos. I keep trying the next best thing.
