It's been a minute since the last entry and I apologize for that. So to make up for it, I've got a gang of hatin, oops I mean critiquing to do.
So back in July when my hair was getting its arse kicked by the humidity I decided to embrace my kinkiness. In doing so I accepted product suggestions and Carols Daughter seemed to arise various times so I did my research and then made a business decision, which essentially became an expensive endeavor.
See, I'm cheap. I like to think its because I consider myself impoverished but the fact of the matter is I'm just bogus. So best believe when I found myself out the cash register droppin 21$ on 8oz of hair product, I was thinkin this product pull some Jesus miracles and fall just short of turnin water into wine.At least let it give my mane a little bit of luster. Man did Carol fail me miserably.
First I attempted to utilize the hair butter and after having mixed results from the Kizzy pommade, I put the CD on the shelf. But, thanks to my mentor Dr. Natural I got to complete my experiment with this heavily praised product when she lent me her Hair Milk and leave in conditioner. I just knew I was about to get my Jada Pinkett-Smith on!
After washing, buttering, and milking, the moment of the truth arrived. SADLY,
the only aesthetic difference was the noticeable fragrance of my hair, and that got old quickly.
Overall, ladies it could be my hair type but the Carol's Daughter I used thus far was less than mediocre.
Using the No-Lye Product Rating scale I'd like to give the Caroll's Daughter Hair Milk, Hair Butter, and Leave in Conditioner the following:
2 Wide Toof Combs = I'd only cop it if it was free. CD isn't the worse, but considering its price and praise, its far from the best.
Price: Hair Milk 4oz $12 Healthy Hair Butter 4oz 10.50 Kizzi Stay Put Pomade 9.50
Location: Sephora/ Online
If your opinions differ, let me know, cuz my soul and my 5/3rd card are still disappointed thanks to Carol's fam.
On to the next one!

Thanks for the review. I'm a newly natural and of course trying all kinds of things to see what works for me and after hearing so much of products that carries heavy prices, I too would figure the products would do wonders. I try not to believe the hype, so I check out for your website to see what thoughts you have in mind...Thanks:)
ReplyDeleteI have used the whole CD line of hair products and I am not a fan. The only product that I have kept in rotation is the Black Vanilla Smoothie Deep Conditioner. All of the products make my hair feel dry. They do not have enough "slip" to them. I have found that I can use the hair milk if I am on 3rd day hair. A little water and hair milk go a long way, but by no means is it an experience!

CJ congrats and welcome to the family! As you grow into your new found naturality I encourage you to write your reviews and send em to us! We love diverse perspectives.
ReplyDeleteDr. N, do you think Jada really uses CD?
I have never had any luck with Carol's Daughter hair care line. I too thought it was just my hair type (thick and porous). I'd be interested to see which hair types the line works for...
