Hi there, I'm Ashe.
Ashe de la June


After many years in IT tech support and web dev, I unexpectedly ventured onto a new path. Now I'm in my thirties and have a double degree in Earth Sciences! I am raising fowl, a goat, a horse, four cats and a husband. I spend my free time in the garden and with my animals. Currently, my long-suffering husband and I sleep with one of our cats in the bedroom with a young pullet in a cat cage on a shelf who refuses to sleep with the other chickens! It strangely works out. My husband is an aspiring author writer and often blogs a story about our lives on the farm etc.

I am passionate about chickens, cats, web design, blogging, Pinterest, sprouting seeds, taking cuttings and other gardening, trialling make-up and hair products, baking, writing stories, spinal disabilities, making things and offering all kinds of advice to people.

Being one who loves to read, TaintedBlood.org is an old URL I purchased in 2002, inspired by the Margaret Weis science fiction fantasy Star of Guardians series of novels. Jazhiaran and Ashe are the names of rpg characters I created in the 90s inspired by the Raymond E. Feist fantasy novels following Pug the magician.

Fine, thin, tangle prone hair treatment for those that can't use coconut oil nor almond oil




This is my honest, unpaid review of Ultra Organics Intense Chamomile Conditioner with organic plant extracts.


Not all of us can use coconut oil nor almond oil. No matter how many times I've tried it only ever causes my hair greater issues. I can't brush it, it tangles more, it is super sticky and crunchy, and more strands fall out or are broken off than usual.
 To be crude, it just looks and feels like shit. I cannot wash it out - not even after washing my hair 6 times with different shampoos. I've even tried using dish washing soap.

 Anyway, if you have hair like this {in pic I had dark hair}, then this post is for you.

Tangled, knotty, horrible fine hair

 So, we all know I love using L'Oreal Elvive Fibralogy thickening conditioner. But even that doesn't always help my hair. Sometimes the shampoo, conditioner and treatment get built up so much in my hair that it looks as if I've used coconut oil.

 When this happens there is one product I turn to Ultra Organics Intense Chamomile Conditioner with organic plant extracts. I have previously espoused just how good the Ultra Organics Clear Henna Wax Treatment is - it fixed my misery-causing hair problem making me sometimes need 5 hours to comb my hair, with zero exaggeration. Alas, I have not talked about this particular product.

Using the conditioner

Ultra Organics Intense Chamomile Conditioner with organic plant extracts costs under $6 at either Priceline or Chemist Warehouse in Australia for 500grams, why wouldn't you try it?
It sports mostly natural ingredients such as Chamomile, Rosemary, Sage, Linden, Nettle, Birch, Horsetail, Yarrow and organic glycerin. Its initial ingredients are water, cetearyl alcohol, cetrimonium chloride. Its final ingredients are citric acid, fragrance and DMDM Hydantoin. Everything in between consists of the natural extracts and actual flowers which you can see bits of in the creamy, gorgeously scented white cream.

Ultra Organics Intense Chamomile Conditioner ingredients

After making my hair damp - which today consisted of standing in the long-awaited rain, I will spread the Ultra Organics Intense Chamomile Conditioner from scalp to tip of my hair, then after wrapping my hair onto my scalp and using aluminium foil to keep it in position and warmed, I leave it on my hair for several hours or until I have a shower.
 Any leftover conditioner on my hands is rubbed into my hands, knees and elbows. My hands look utterly fantastic after I do this! And it does not leave my hands even slightly greasy.



Using the conditioner

I've even used Ultra Organics Intense Chamomile Conditioner as a shampoo before, just like when using Wen.
 I scoop a palm full out of the jar and massage it into my wet scalp and hair, then smooth it along my wet ends and leave on for several minutes in the shower. 
It works fantastically for me in that respect. As does the Ultra Organics Clear Henna Treatment, although you need to massage your scalp as you rinse it out as it may leave your hair greasy-looking if you do not.

 I use that Target branded Girlz Only Dry Shampoo if I have any spots of leftover Henna.
