Default Darcys Botanicals....soooo amazing.

ok i hate to tell you guys about this line, not because im trying to help the product junkies, but because after yall hear about something you overload the owner then i dont get my products for weeks.

Coconut Lemongrass Transitioning Creme: I used this when after i rinsed out my conditioner and it made combing quite easy. I havent used it alone yet but from what ive seen so far its really moisturizing

Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme: Smells edible. I wanted to eat it. Its the consistency of buttercream frosting and was super moisturizing and this was also good and untangling my hair.

Organic Coconut & Aloe Moisture Pudding: This is the consistency of pudding and a light moisturizer. Ive been using it in the mornings in between wash days. This plus the other products have been keeping my hair so soft and moisturized, more so than KBB.

Coconut Passionfruit Natural Hair Pomade: Smells just like passionfruit. Ive been using it to seal my ends and keep my braids together when braiding.

So i like everything and im most likely going to order everything again. The only thing better than her products is her customer service. I made my order and recvd it in 2 days. My pudding was the consistency of water so i emailed her about it, she replied to my email that same day and mailed me another pudding the the next day on monday. When did i recv my pudding? On tuesday. Its so nice to not have to wait weeks for hair products. My products came in beautiful packaging with dried flowers at the bottom of the box. She also sent me free samples in addition to my order.

I know im probably going to regret telling yall this. Youre going to flood her with orders then shes going to start ignoring my emails and send out my orders late because she'll be busy with yall. I would keep her to myself but that would be wrong.

Great review, I was interested in trying the pudding next. Does it have any hold?

I had emailed her earlier this year about anything with hold; she said there wasn't anything for that at the time but she would be coming out with products with hold THIS SUMMER!

I must agree with the OP about Darcy's Botanicals being such a great line. I bought the following:

1) Coconut Lemongrass Transitioning Creme
2) Peach Kernel (Natural Curls) Hydrating Milk
3) Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme
4) Coconut Passion Fruit Seed Natural Hair Conditioning Pomade
5) Coconut Acai Berry Natural Hair Conditioning Pomade

I even got a bar of her Chocolate Ucuuba Butter Hair & Body Cleansing Bar as a free gift since I kept asking her about it as I wanted to place it in my order. That day was also my birthday and she included it. The bar is HUGE! WOW! Her customer service is stellar and she has gorgeous packaging.

I have been eyeing their products for sometime!
I am waiting untl I settle down and I have a good feeling that I would stick with their proucts for a long time when I get them based on the ingredients.


Oooo a Choocolate what bar?!?! Have you tried it on your skin? What were the results?

I didnt see the peach kernal hydrating milk but I saw the oil for skin and I will use it after my showers now as a lotion.

Also what are the preservatives...are the formaldyhyde free?

So ive been using these products for the past week. I washed my hair today and it was so soft. It didnt take me nearly as long to comb it in the shower as it normally does. I cant wait to buy more of it
