Review: Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave in Conditioner

Right now I'm in the process of transitioning my relaxed hair to it's natural state, and my head now currently holds two majorly different textures of hair. The majority of my hair is stick straight while the roots are wavy, curly, and kinky. My relaxed hair is dry because of the chemicals I've used on it, and my roots are dry because my hair is so tightly wound. So both textures need extra moisture to reduce breakage and make the transition to natural hair easier for me.

A few weeks ago I decided to purchase a product that would help to nurture and moisturize both textures at the same times. I figured I would give Carol's Daughter a shot since the line, which gets great reviews, uses natural ingredients and the owner and creator of the Carol's Daughter line, Lisa Price, wears her hair natural and swears by her hair products.

I chose the Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-In Conditioner even though there were several versions of leave-in conditioners that Carol's Daughter offered. I would like to say that I chose the Black Vanilla kind because it's made specifically for dry hair but I would be lying, I actually chose it because of the awesome vanilla and almond scent, which had me at hello.

Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-In Conditioner comes in an 8 oz. plastic bottle for $13. It features the usual beige brown Carol's Daughter label and a brown pump, the packaging is earthy and straight-forward. Inside the leave-in conditioner is a cognac brown shade and it contains lavender, rosemary, nettles, rose, calendula, and sage-leaf extract, as well as vodka and a couple of chemical ingredients that I can't pronounce.

I have to say that when I first bought this leave-in conditioner, I thought that I was going to regret not leaving it on the shelf at Sephora, because it looked so watered down. When I first used it a couple of days later on my wet hair I totally regretted buying it like I thought I would.
