Review: Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Leave In Conditioner

I've recently used the Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Leave In Conditioner. I used it after washing my hair and deep conditioning it. According to directions it should be applied after washing to soaking wet hair, any excess water should then be absorbed into a towel or cotton t-shirt, style hair as usual.

The Hair Milk Leave In is a thin, runny , white lotion like product. It has the same scent as the other products in the line. It contains a high content of oil that you can easily feel on your hands and hair.

Ingredients- Water, Soybean oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Fragrance, Agave extract. Ascorbyl palmitate, ascorbic acid, beeswax, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, polysorbate 80, Apricot Kernel oil, Jojoba Seed oil, Tocopherol, Wheat germ oil, Xantham gum, Methylisothiazolinone, phenoxyethanol.

Cost & Availability: This product is available for purchase at www.CarolsDaughter.com, Target, and www.Target.com. Due to recent repackaging the product is now marketed as Hair Milk Original Leave In Moisturiser. The listed price on both websites is $12.00 for 8oz. Carol's Daughter discount club members can purchase the product at a 10% discount with free shipping.

Product Promise & Useability: Dry hair = frizzy curls! So, protect your hair from unwanted situations – breakage, thirst and unmanageability – with this fan-favorite leave-in moisturizer. It has all the goodies you know and love, like Shea Butter to intensely hydrate curls, coils, kinks, and waves, plus Soybean Oil to soften and strengthen it too. We’ve also added Agave Nectar to ensure that your hair keeps moisture locked in and is extra healthy. This rich cream quickly and easily absorbs into your hair, leaving it glossy, nourished, and frizz-free. Hydrate your curls, coils, kinks, and waves to make frizzy, unmanageable hair a thing of the past!

Directions: After co-washing , apply a quarter-sized amount into soaking-wet hair, working it in evenly with your fingers. Use your hands to gently squeeze out excess water or use a cotton T- shirt for best results. Add more as necessary and style as desired.
The thiness of this product makes it easy to over apply and leave you with greasy hair.

Effectiveness & Results: This product is an effective leave in conditioner, because it is oil rich which helps to seal in moisture.  It is not effective for me to use in detangling because it provided no slip. It left my hair soft, but it is very light, and my hair texture and porosity it best cared for with a thicker, heavier leave in. With that being said I'm not sure if I'd buy this again. There is another version of the product available since I purchased this and it appears to be thicker, I may try it at a future date. I am considering using this in conjunction with a detangler, that is less moisturizing and can be improved by the water & oil content of this leave in. For now I'm putting it on the shelf for later use.
