Modern Organic Products Reviews

by Wendy Polisi

I am always on the lookout for great new hair products.  The problem is that finding good hair products that are also organic can be very challenging.  It doesn’t help that my hair is fine and tends to get frizzy when it is humid.  Oh, and I’m going gray which is making my hair drier than ever. (Yet somehow my scalp can still get oily.)

That is why when I ran across Modern Organic Products, I knew I had to give them a try.

Modern Organic Products are a line of beauty products owned my American Crew, Inc.  They may organic shampoo, conditioner, detangler’s and styling products.  MOP hair even has products for toddlers.  (Ok, I don’t exactly need that because no matter how hard I try my four year old has officially left his toddler years.)

According to their website they are striving to maintain a high standard and provide salon quality products that still respect the earth.  The idea behind MOP hair products is that you should feed your hair in the same way that you feed your body.   They don’t do animal testing and they promote recycling.

I decided to try the MOP C System, and here is my experience.

MOP – C System Hydrating Shampoo

The Modern Organic Products hydrating shampoo is sulfate free, color safe and PH balanced.  It offers antioxidants and a rich blend of vitamins.  I am a sucker for things that smell good and the smell is simply divine!  It is a citrus scent comes from essential oils and is not at all overpowering.  (Don’t you just hate shampoos that smell like heavy cheap perfume???)  I color my hair and I found that my hair color stayed great when I used this product.  If your hair is like mine – fine, frizzy, dry at the ends, oily at the scalp – this is the right product for you.   Most hydrating products leave my hair limp, but that is not the case with Modern Organic Products MOP C System.  My hair was very manageable and the glycerin in this shampoo left my hair shiny.

Since it is sulfate free, it doesn’t lather like all shampoos.  To me, this is a small sacrifice for my health. (In fact, if an organic shampoo does have a perfect lather that would be a warning sign to me that is wasn’t REALLY organic!)  It also means that if your hair is dry this shampoo will not strip your scalp like many others.

MOP C System Hydrating Conditioner 33 oz.

This is Modern Organic Products best selling conditioner.  Because I have such a weird combination of an oily scalp and dry frizzy ends, I have a really hard time finding a conditioner that I like.  This one was great!  Oh- and it smells great too!

If your hair is really damaged, I would say that you would want to alternate with the leave in conditioner and consider investing in a deep conditioning treatment that you use once a week.  You can also use this conditioner as a ‘leave in’ – 10 minutes will do the trick! Trust me – use this shampoo as your main stay and over time, you will start getting complements on how healthy your hair looks! It has even tamed my frizzy ends without weighting the rest of my hair down. I highly recommend this product.

I just LOVE this hair spray.

My husband actually stole this hair spray from me.  (That is just so wrong!!!) I had to buy another one because I got tired of searching for MY hair spray every time I needed it.  (It was usually hidden somewhere!)

He even used in on our preschool boys, who didn’t even complain about the smell like they usually do.   Not only does it smell great, the hold is fabulous.

Now, I have to admit, I am not looking for a hard core hold.  I like my hair to look natural, and not have “helmet head’. (Remember the 80′s?  Ah, the big hair!  What were we thinking?)

This is my favorite MOP hair product.

Modern Organic Products Leave In Conditioner

Because I blow dry my hair every time I wash, I like to alternative using a regular conditioner one day and a leave in conditioner next.  This conditioner has Certified organic carrot puree (which surprised me) as well as Echinacea and Dandelion.  Surprisingly, it left me frizz free and my hair was not weighted down.

I actually like it better than the Aveda leave in conditioner that I have been using.
