Smells like wet dog
Love how soft and hydrated it makes my hair, but the shampoo smells like wet dog and the price is steep for this standard size. The price and smell deters me from buying again..esp bc other brands smell incredible,are much more affordable and are just as hydrating and high quality.

Did not like Texture
Did not love the texture. Very thick. I didn’t really like how it left my curls feeling. Too heavy for me.

Disappointed
I used this product for the first time today; the shampoo made my hair tangled and clumpy. The conditioner was a little bit better.

Not for Fine Curls
The scent is amazing, unfortunately for my fine curls, I was left with greasy, weighed down ringlets.

Shines and moisturizes without stripping my hair!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Moisture & Shine Sulfate Free Shampoo is perfect for anyone with dry or textured hair! I love that it’s sulfate-free, so it cleanses without stripping my hair of its natural oils. My hair feels soft, hydrated, and much more manageable after each wash. The vanilla scent is great! It’s warm and sweet but not overpowering. With ingredients like aloe and sweet clover, this shampoo leaves my hair feeling very moisturized and looking shinier than ever!

Scalp clean
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scent of the shampoo smells awesome. The ingredients of the shampoo have been so reliable for my scalp that it gave the shampoo to activate the much needed areas for my hair not to be so dry. This shampoo is so affordable and reasonable. I would wash my hair again with this along with my daughter as well.

It works well with hair textures that are a 2 or 3.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scent of the product is great and ignites your senses. The packaging is clean and easy to read plus it’s recyclable. The value of this product is great and it gets a great lather. It works best on hair textures of 2 or 3. Since I have 4c hair I did not get the results I was hoping for.

Hello there. We appreciate you reaching out about Black Vanilla Moisture & Shine Sulfate Free Shampoo. We are sorry to hear this was not the shampoo for your hair type. We recommend trying Goddess Strength Fortifying Shampoo With Castor Oil. This formula for dry hair cleanses while it moisturizes, for strands that are instantly stronger, less prone to breakage and healthy-looking.

Cleansing but gentle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smell of the shampoo is very refreshing as it is a light, non overbearing scent. I use these products in my daughter’s shampoo routine and have been purchasing this brand since it was sent to me!

Didn't love it
It smells ok. The shampoo is very thick and hard to lather. Almost reminds me of honey. I don't notice any difference for the better in my hair. I wouldn't buy again.

All The Products Work For Me
All of these products are like magic to my hair. This is the first product I use that lets my natural curls shine give me a look of thickness and does not dry my hair. We have to go through many products until we find what works for us. Its called trial and error. For any one that this does not work for just keep searching till you find your hair happiness. There are many good products out there this just happen to be the one that gave my hair life. My hair is very fine/thin, naturally curly, growing up getting perms of course changes the hair but these products do not weigh heavy on my hair.

Fave curly hair
My daughter really likes this shampoo. Helps with her curly hair, less frizz and easy to detangle using the conditioner.

Hydrating wash!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The foundation of a great hairstyle starts with a good wash and this shampoo delivers. Sulfate free of course. Very good cleansing without fully stripping hair of natural oils so it’s not drying out your hair.

Smells amazing darling 🌺
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Again! The scent is just so so good. You will get so many compliments. It’s not over powering. It’s simply a beautiful fragrance. This shampoo is so creamy I almost thought it was conditioner 😂 the pump on the shampoo & conditioner is great as well.

Moisture Punch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fragrance of this product was incredible but it paled in comparison to the amount of moisture it left in my curls. They went from sad and dry to bouncing with juice!

MISTAKE
I ordered this by mistake over a year ago. Quit asking me if I want to order it again!!! I gave it away and didn't use it as it would be way too greasy for my hair.
