Thank you to Momtrends and Fairy Tales for sponsoring this post. 

Every summer we have the same problems. Too much time in the sun, to many mosquitos, to many long days, fights for baths and endless splashing around. As a protective mom, I try to keep what I put on my kids as natural as possible. I get excited to review products that are safe for kids, enter Fairy Tales Hair Care.

I was sent a box with the shampoo, conditioner, and the after-sun spray, bug spray and a lice repellent spray. Why did I get excited when I saw the products? For starters the packaging is  cute. Second the shampoo and conditioner and after swim spray were from the Sun & Swim collection. How perfect!? There are no parabens or sulfates, this made me even more excited to try them. We protect our skin and our eyes so hair should also be taken care off. Especially after days at the pool and those chemicals, the salty beach water, or just playing outside.

So on Memorial Day, I decided to try the shampoo since we had been out all day at the park. I was very surprised. It didn’t create a ton of lather. It smelled so good and I felt the difference in my kid’s hair. The conditioner also smelled amazing and so did the spray. I didn’t looove the After-Sun Spray, it felt a little dry, almost like a texturizing spray. We’re going to try it again this weekend, and see how it goes.

Moving on to the bug spray, Bug Bandit. I have to say it was pretty effective considering it’s deet free. The scent is amazing, smells like eucalyptus, which is one of my favorite oils EVER. I sprayed it all over and felt safe putting it on their face. I also liked that it didn’t feel sticky.

The last product is the lice spray. Ok, so a lot of people don’t know that last summer we had lice. What I like about the spray is that you can just spray it on their clothes and their hair and its extra protection. My kids don’t go to summer camp, but this is definitely a must for campers (think about sharing pillows and sweatshirts!). We have a bottle with water and tea tree oil that I spray on my son every morning before school, but the truth is that it smells gross, so he hates it. With this, he doesn’t mind the scent and it makes me more comfortable sending him to school.

I enjoyed these products and will probably be regulars in our home. Just the smells make me happy and the effectiveness really impressed me. Price wise, they are pretty comparable to the other chemical, toxin free products in the market with prices ranging from $10.95 for the shampoo to $12.95 for the lice repellent. Oh and also if you are dealing with lice, they have an awesome kit to get rid of them, with a comb that has the best grip of any lice comb out there. You can check out their whole line of products on their website. If you want a list of all the things that are essential for summers with kids, check out post, of course Bug Bandit is on the list!
