Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Herbal Shampoo: Product Review

Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Herbal Shampoo (for dry, damaged hair) smells divine like real vanilla. It has a great lather and the scent lingers for about a week. However, my hair never feels moisturized after I use it. My hair is very dry and doesn’t retain moisture well, which is probably the reason. I've been using this product on and off for a year year and a half. I'm trying to use it up so it doesn't go to waste.

But I would  definitely recommend this product for people whose hair does not have a moisture retention problem. I love this product’s scent and would only use it to scent my hair. 

Features:

8 oz clear bottle
Shampoo is a brown liquid the consistency of maple syrup
Paraben free, no petroleum, mineral oil or artificial color

Product description on bottle: "A thick, rich recipe of gentle cleansers infused with intense moisturizers, nettle, lavender, red clover and comforting notes of warmed vanilla." This sounds so irresistibly luscious and hard to pass up.  

First five ingredients: rosa centifolia flower extract, calendula officinalis flower extract, rosemary extract, nettle extract and lavender extract. The ingredients are interesting to me because no where on the label was there water or glycerin. I don't know how I feel about that.


Grade: I give it a C+ because of the great scent, lather, my hair felt clean but the only short coming was that my hair just didn't feel moisturized after using it, which is key for me. 

Note: I received this Black Vanilla Hair Smoothie as a gift from my parents for Christmas 2009 and it cost $25 from AAFES (Army Air Force Exchange Services). This product came in a set called "Recipe for Smooth and Shiny Hair." The other products included were Black Vanilla Herbal Shampoo, Healthy Hair Butter and a plastic tortoise shell style comb.
