Me either....it's okay....but nothing that I just loved to the point I kept it stocked up in my cabinet

I love love love the mimosa hair honey for me and my daughters hair. For me it aids in my lovely twist outs, for her it helps to smooth her hair when doing pony tails and also aids in lovely twistouts

hate to be another naysayer for carol's duaghter, but one of my natural friends use to use those products and she says that since they've began being manufactured the quality of the ingredients, functions, and executions of the products has greatly declined. i.e. the products are watered down and dont work as well as they used to when they first came out. she doesn't use them anymore. i wanted to start using them as well and she only suggested the hair balm, i think. she said they others weren't really too different from anything else on the market. hope i didnt burst ur bubble

Welcome to LHCF!

I tried CD products a long time ago and wasn't impressed. There are plenty of other natural brands with better prices and products that are far superior to hers (www.qhemetbiologics.com, www.shescentit.com, www.myashas.com, www.myspace.com/naturalhairsecrets, www.myhoneychild.com to name a few)

For a regimen,try to keep simple. Being a newbie, it's really easy to get sucked into trying everything that everyone's doing, and all that is is a MAJOR waste of money (speaking from experience here ) Start out by washing and deep conditioning your hair once or twice a week. Moisturize daily, wear protective styles, don't use direct heat more than once a month, and start stretching your relaxers. HTH!

You'll love it here, be prepared to be stuck to the computer for HOURS at a time!

Hi...welcome to the hair boards... I tried Carol's Daughter's products and love them all.

I bought them during the Christmas Holiday 2007 when they were giving away free product with purchase.

Prepoo: I use any Hot Oil as a pre-poo ( I am currently using Ayurvedic oils). but I use CD Hair Elixir on my daughter's hair or the CD Tui Oil with a warm towel for 15 minutes, I very rarely do a pre-poo treamtment...too lazy.

Shampoo: CD Rosemary Mint herbal shampoo with sea moss (for dry hair) is my favorite...it detangles very well.

Condtioner: Not sure if she makes one... I conditioner wash our hair with Daily defense tender apple which has been discontinued.

Deep conditioner: I only use ORS Replenishing pak not Carol's Daughter.

Protein treatment: My hair hates protein..so I don't use one.

Leave in conditioner: CD Vanilla Leave-in is great on my daughter's hair.. very light.

Moisturizer: CD Healthy Hair butter or CD Hair milk or CD Marguerites magic,

Oil: CD Tui oil is my favorite.. smells great, she has another oil that also smells great.

other stuff... my favorite products are the CD Mimosa Hair honey and the CD Hair Balm. The Hair honey keeps the frizzes at bay and he hair balm makes my hair soooo soft.

HTH

I like the CD's hair butter. They used to have a 16oz jar, but since the management has changed, they now sell the 8oz at a slightly higher price. I find that is the best product for my hair.

When my hair is wet, I put the butter on and let it air dry. My hair is shiny and soft when it dries. That is the only butter that I've used so far that has done that with my hair. And it's like that for about 2-3 days.

CD Rosemary Mint herbal shampoo with sea moss (for dry hair) is my favorite...it detangles very well.

I used to LOVE this but have found that Walgreen's BioInfusion Rosemary Mint Shampoo & Conditioner equally impressive and much cheaper

Leave in conditioner: CD Vanilla Leave-in is great on my daughter's hair.. very light.

I just simply fell in love with the smell of this... and though someone here once suggested a recipe to get the same effect, I havent found it to be true... I didnt find any super conditioning properties to this but the smell is DIVINE

Cosigning. I used to go get those products when Lisa Price was making them in her Brooklyn brownstone. I stopped using them waaaay before they went big. They are played out IMO.
