More Te Tao Vicar

Advantages: does what it says, smells lovely
Disadvantages: slightly expensive.

...For as long as I can remember I have been using Head and Shoulders shampoo as I suffer with a dry flaky scalp. This works well, but recently my hairdresser advised me not to use it as often as I do as it was to harsh for me. So over the last week or so I have been searching for a shampoo that wouldn't be has harsh but still gave me the effect of my usual shampoo. I spent ages looking on the shelves and spotted a shampoo that I had seen a while back but never bothered with as I didn't know much about it. WHAT IS IT CALLED? TE TAO (chinese herbal therapy) TEA FOR HAIR This shampoo gently cleanses your hair and regulates dry scalp, so it seemed ideal for what I needed from a shampoo. It contains mild chrysanthemum, lycium berries and eclipta. It cost me £2.99 for a 250ml/8.4floz bottle. This was from Tesco. I started...

Te Tao BODY WASH

Advantages: Unique Smell, leaves you cool and refreshed
Disadvantages: Not moisturising enough. Quite Pricey.Bottle wont last long.

...On a recent shopping trip, I purchases a trial size (125ml) bottle of Te Tao body wash for £1.25. Anyway, before I go into the pro?s and con?s, one simple question: Would I by this product again? Answer: Yes The body wash contains many natural ingredients. The two main ingredients are Chinese angelica, and green tea. The green tea is added to smooth and soften, and to leave a layer on the skin to protect from pollutants. The angelica is an ancient remedy for sluggish circulation flow, so it has a refreshing and revitalising properties. Other ingredients include ginger, cinnamon and sunflower oil. So as you can see, the emphasis is on natural ingredients. This isn?t a surprise, as the Te Tao range are made by Kaun. Kaun was created in 1998 by four women who were inspired by holistic and herbal medicine The product comes in clear...

Review of Te Tao Wild Rice and Oatmeal Body Polish

For All Te Totallers...

Advantages: Good colour and texture, smells lovely, enhances colour
Disadvantages: Expensive for what it does

...Seeing as my hair is now at the stage where it needs a complete rest from dyeing, I have been on the lookout for alternative ways of keeping my red colour a little bit longer. Therefore, when I saw The Big W had a sale on recently, I was happy to snap up this product for half price. (Expect to pay between £3 and £4 for a 250ml bottle normally.) Te Tao has been a well-known range for quite a while now, but it wasn’t one I had ever tried, feeling the products were rather over-priced. They do a range of shampoos for various hair types (see www.tetao.com for further details) but this one caught my eye because it is a deep, dark orange-red colour and had the word ‘henna’ in it. As you probably know, henna has been used for centuries to dye hair in a more natural way than using bleaches and chemicals. The full name...

Review of Te Tao Warm Henna Red Shampoo

The Tao of the Tao of Steve

Advantages: realistic likeable characters
Disadvantages: predictable plot, and the box design

...I saw this film pretty much as soon as it came out on dvd (it had a different cover then) and it's such a hidden treasure that when I saw no-one had reviewed it I decided I had to. ********The story This film is essentially about a thirty-something ambitionless nursery teacher (Dex) who coasts through life and has created his fusion philosophy of Buddhism lite, pop-philosophy and trying to be like all the cool 'Steves' in movies (Steve McQueen being the ultimate role model) which seems to bring him luck with the ladies despite his somewhat average looks: 'The Tao of Steve'. He spends many an afternoon playing frisbie golf and passing on his words of wisdom to his mates. I didn't quite keep his exact words in mind while watching, so I call upon the official film website for his essential philosophical statement drawn from Heidegger...

Review of The Tao Of Steve (DVD)

Extract of Laotses TAO TE KING

Advantages: wisedom
Disadvantages: ??

...Hi, this is my first Opinion in english (I'm from Germany), so I've chosen something, that isn't too difficult to write ... ;o). It's a quotation from the TAO TE KING. The TAO TE KING hasn't anything to do with a king, it is a anthology of wise sayings, wrote by Laotse, a chinese philosopher. The translation of TAO TE KING is: "the book of the sense and the kind of life" I like reading this book, because it's full of wisedom... Here is one of my favourites, it's about the duality of everything (I've just the german version, so I do my best to translate it into english) : When the people on earth recognize beauty as beauty, ugliness is born. When the people on earth recognize good as good, the evil is born. See: Being and Not-Being show each other, Light...

Review of Poetry

Feng Shui for hair ??

Advantages: Clean fresh smell, cleans well
Disadvantages: none

...condition....................to no avail. So when I discovered Te Tao on my ASDA shelf I thought I'd give a tea tree product a chance to do what all else had failed to do. At first I did not think that there was much difference at all but after a few washes my head is less irritating than it has been so I will continue to use this product in the belief it will eventually get rid of all the irritation. Now I can hear certain murmurs out there indicating that the problem is not the irritation of on the outside of the head that is the problem it is the constant crap that is coming from the inside that is slightly more worrying. Well the docs have that under control too so I believe. Tea tree oil has a smell similar to eucalyptus, kind of mentholly, when this is mixed with a cleanser the smell becomes more of a clinically clean smell, but nice...

Review of Te Tao Tea Tree Shampoo

WASH YOUR HAIR WITH TEA

Advantages: Cleans the hair, leaving it soft and shiny, not too pricey, although it looks it.
Disadvantages: Lather can be difficult to get rid off, takes quite a while to rinse.

...I have tried many shampoos over the years before finally settling with a tea tree and mint shampoo from Boots. All has been well with this shampoo, until I was directed to the Te Tao site which offers free samples! (www.tetao.com), well it was my favourite price - free! Having received this 10ml bottle shaped sample I set about trying it out. Now usually I have to use a coal tar shampoo prior to washing with any other shampoo as I have psoriasis on my scalp - I use another shampoo afterwards as the smell of coal tar is pretty off putting! Well for the purposes of trying out this wee sample, I decided against my usual regime. I followed the directions, apply shampoo to wet hair (no really!) and massage gently allowing tea infusions to penetrate. Rinse and repeat. Now I have very long, thick, hair and thought that the 10 ml would not...

Tea Tao is fairly kind against delicates scalp and doesent damge any...

Review of Te Tao Tea Tree Shampoo

Elixir of Life

Advantages: Smells nice. Powerful mu-ju!
Disadvantages: Cost.

...Chinese Herbal Medicine is increasingly popular. Although the "Asian Fever" which still runs rampant in the United States has not caught so badly in the British Isles there is still the believe that all this ancient stuff is pretty cool. So, when a humble bottle of shampoo announces its presence to you from the shelves of dozens and dozens of other bottles with a cunning display of arcane Chinese symbols and the tag line "Tea for Hair" you might very well pick it up. Don't worry. You haven't been ripped off. Yes, although the back of the bottle does offer a little blurb about ways the Taoist philosophers of old have searched for the elusive Elixir of Life and that careful combinations of plants and minerals taken in tea form can have remarkable healing powers you still haven't been tricked. Even though Te Tao is made in England...

Advantages: Clear softer skin
Disadvantages: A very gritty bath
