I’m sorry I just don’t think it’s worth the money! i spent $60.00 on that stuff and was not at all impressed, I was actually very upset. I went back to macy’s and she gave me all of my money back. I bhought it because my friend screamed about it for so long since and it does so much for her hair. I tried it and was like “womp womp” Some of the products even made my hair dry! I think it works great for certain hair textures, but not mine!

I’ve been using only all natural products for some time now, and when I found my way to CD I thought I’d finally found something specifically for my hair that was also 100% natural. The website didn’t list ingredients (big no-no for me) but I figured they were getting around to it and decided to email them and inquire about the ingredients of two particular products I was considering. The response was that this lady didn’t have the products at her desk and so she couldn’t answer my question and that I should go to a Sephora store to check the ingredients. Damage done, potential customer lost!! I replied that this was not half-a$$, but quarter-a$$ customer service and how dare they tell anyone to go to the store and see for themselves, perhaps I was asking them because there isn’t a Sephora store close to me and I’m not driving all over creation wasting my oh so precious gas just to see what’s in something! Sorry I can’t give a product review but I wanted to let them know that the ingredients for everything need to be clearly visible on the site, and when someone asks a question please give a better response than ‘you’re on your own’!

I talked to a bus driver and she told me that she try your product and I like to try some of your sample of your product on my client.

I’m surprised no one else mentioned the Gelee de Soleil browning oil. Its my summer staple and give me the ultimate bronzed look. As I am not a fan of CD’s fragrances, I love the scent of this oil. My skin looks sunkissed and moisturized after a day on the beach. And my tan lasts forever, to the envy of all of my girlfriends! It’s definitely worth a try.

Howdy juicyjellee…

Comb when wet AND with conditioner on it. I know this may sound so old school, but definitely give coconut oil a chance (or avocado, or both). I recently had good success with a mix some call “moeshealoe”: shea butter whipped with coconut oil and a little aloe. Whip a little together and use a little bit on wet hair. As long as you’re not heavy-handed the hair won’t feel “greasy”. Also look online for tips on washing/detangling in sections instead of all at once. Giovanni also has a GREAT leave-in conditioner. HTH…

I wish I would have found this site BEFORE I spent over $50 on CD’s website last night. I definitely would have given it more thought. I purchased Lisa’s Elixir, the Hair Milk, the Healthy Hair Butter, and the Black Vanilla Leave In Conditioner. I feel so apprehensive about their results now! I have relaxed hair but my ten y/o has natural hair. I’ve always kept her at the salon with fierce natural braids, but she wants to have a more freeing style. Her hair is long, thick, coarse, dry, and EXTREMELY kinky when wet or in the humidity. I choose not to relax her hair, so if these products don’t work, I’m gonna be back at square one. ***************ANY SUGGESTIONS?*****************

I really do not care for the hair milk from CD- I bought it for my son, and although it works, the smell is terrible. I don’t want to throw it away since it wasn’t cheap, but I don’t want my baby’s head smelling weird, so in the bathroom cabinet it sits…

However, I do LOVE CD’s candy paint lip glosses- those are fabulous.

I’m a little shocked that so many women are still in love with CD products, and a part of me feels that it is mostly hype. I have an issue with Carol’s Daughter being played up as “all natural” when chemical preservatives ARE included in the hair products. DMDM hydantoin is included in most hair products, from Motions to the mess found in drug stores, I’m sorry ya’ll but if I’m paying $20 for a product that is supposed to be ALL natural, I don’t want to get anything less. I want a NATURAL product, not a product that is half way natural.I’d rather go to the grocery store and buy aloe vera gel and coconut oil to detangle my hair, than by a Carol’s Daughter product that is far too expensive and not even 100% natural. I respect Lisa for what she is doing, but it’s a shame that these products are looked at for what they STAND for instead of what they consist of. I purchased everything from the Hair Milk, Mimosa Hair Honey, Healthy Hair Butter, and the Khoret Amen Smoothie and none of the products did anything for my hair but give me a greasy feeling. I’ve started using Mineral Indulgence hair care product as their products are actually 100% natural. I’m also able to purchase samples, get products “unscented”, and get MUCH better customer service. I’m glad that so many women have been able to find “natural” alternatives for their hair (even if CD isn’t 100% natural), but ole’ girl ain’t gettin’ a dime from me until her products go back to the way they were before….before she went “Hollywood”.

I have very dry natural hair and found that the the Black Vanilla did nada for me but smell so good that I got compliments. They should re-brand it as hair parfum!
The Hair Milk everyone raves about just made my hair greasy.I love the bath products and the face wash and moisturizer is amazing! My boyfriend hasn’t had pimples for so long!I would not buy the hair products again from my experience.

I would like to see:

1. A closer attention to formulas that follow our general natural hair type i.e. “recommended for 3’s and 4’s” rather than simply dry, normal, oily.CD is about getting to care for our hair so women should use the terms that suit it best. We are more diverse then that and a lot of the customers are NATURAL.

2. Less greasy definitions of moisture. We can do better then what’s on the market. I know because I’ve seen it!

Personally, I’d like to see how the unbeWeaveables ( who aren’t rich and famous)handle all that grease in their hair when they can’t wash it themselves!
