I should preface this review by saying that usually I am reluctant to review shampoos because I don’t find they have a significant effect on my hair either way – I never seem to notice a huge improvement or a drastic adverse effect. This shampoo on the other hand…

I saw this shampoo at Wal-Mart and thought I would give it a try. I love the idea of using all organic products, and love love LOVE the scent of coconut. The icing on the cake? There was a sticky on the bottle that said I could get the shampoo for free through a mail in rebate (that comes in AMERICAN dollars I might add!!) I was sold.

I took the shampoo home looking forward to the lustrous shiny locks that the bottle promised – after all, coconut oil is supposed to do wonders for making your hair shiny and soft. All I can say is OH WHAT LIES!!! I have no idea how they managed to turn something organic into something so horrible. This shampoo did the complete opposite of what it was supposed to – it made my hard dry and brittle, and worst of all FRIZZY! I do not have dry brittle hair to begin with. Granted my curly hair can be slightly unruly at times, and does get a little frizzy, this shampoo made it 100 times worse. And the biggest disappointment of all was that the delicious coconut scent did not stick around! Not even until I was out of the shower. I’m pretty sure it washed away with all the little bubbles. Perhaps the scent would have stuck around if I had also used the conditioner, but given the disaster that took place after using the shampoo, I would not even consider trying the conditioner!

What a colossal disappointment this shampoo was! I am SO glad I get the mail in rebate. This way I can get my money back and forget this whole ordeal ever happened. If only my poor frizzy locks could do the same!
