1st Thoughts: Dark and Lovely Au Naturale "Hydrating Soak Shampoo"

Well, let me start by saying I was quite pleased to see that Dark and Lovely created this line and was very excited to give it try and see if it really did what it said it could.

Their formula is supposed to elongate, soften and define curls. So, hello! this is what I need. :)
I actually used the shampoo on my daughter's hair, which is more of a 3b/3c texture. Her curls/coils are very, very tight and her hair is very, VERY thick. I really wanted to try it on her hair because her hair is so long, but with those tight curls, after washing and letting it air-dry, there is quite a it of shrinkage. Still cute, mind you, but not all that it could be.

So, I washed her hair with it and boy, was I pleased. It really made her curls looser. I could tell right away while washing it that there was a difference. The curls were still very much defined, light and bouncy, but not as tight as they'd usually be after washing her hair. Not to mention how good it smells. That coconut milk and honey is a delightful combination.

So, I really think it's a great product. I'm just anxious to give it a go on my mane! If you try it, let me know what YOU think by using the "comment" section of this post.
