Kim is a natural lover of hair and for all of her life has enjoyed making others happy through the magic of her hands. She plats, braids, twist, and twirls the hair into amazing creations. She has won numerous awards for her designs and now spends her time on lecturing on how to grow healthy hair.
The Magic Ingredients
Carol’s Daughter’s website actually does not list the magic ingredients. I found this quite disturbing since the company had long been touted as all natural. Once finding the ingredient listing on Sephora, I felt more comfortable about purchasing. Call me obsessive compulsive, but I wanted to guard against any allergic reactions before spending $24.00 for a 16 oz supply of shampoo. To my surprise, however, Carol’s Daughter’s products are not all natural, but do contain many all natural, hair healthy ingredients—at least much more than your traditional beauty supply or drugstore shampoo.
Is it for you?
It really depends. I think this shampoo is excellent, although I am not certain whether it is the most moisturizing or detangling shampoo on the market. I also was disappointed that the product was not all natural, yet it was far superior to most hair care products on the market for ethnic hair, especially the so-called reputable lines. Overall, it was wonderful. It had a nice minty smell and wasn’t too harsh. Yet, I also feel I get the same, if not better results from using Beauty 4 Ashes Godhead Silky Smooth Shampoo for Ethnic Hair. This product is completely all natural and contains many of the same ingredients as the Rosemary Mint and Herbal Shampoo. It also has a few more natural oils for dry, tangled hair, such as shea, jojoba, avocado, and wheatgerm. But, this product is a bit pricier since it is all natural and includes extra ingredients. You can learn more about it at wwwdiscoverb4acom.
The Final Word
There is a scarcity of quality ethnic hair care products. Carol’s Daughter is truly a breakthrough. Of course, you should do your research and determine what works best for you. I did. I looked at every ingredient included in the product, especially for my own safety. Would I use this product again? Most likely. But since I can achieve the same results without being exposed to chemicals, I will probably purchase GodHead Silky Smooth over the Rosemary Mint Herbal Shampoo.
