Product Review: Darcy’s Botanicals Pumpkin Seed Curl Moisturizing Conditioner
PRODUCT REVIEW: Darcy’s Botanicals Pumpkin Seed Curl Moisturizing Conditioner (8 oz.) $12
Product: Light, divine, pumpkin and nutmeg smell; white, creamy texture
Control: CO-washing out a protective style
Hair State: 6 day old flat twists unraveled
Timing: 2 minutes for one co-wash, wore for rest of day
My Hair: 3c, Normal Porosity, Medium Density, Transitioning Hair, 4.5” of natural hair, remaining texturized hair hangs 2” below shoulder
Grade: B+ … my hair had slip, felted moisturized, detangled effortlessly!
PROCESS: **Product calls for 15-20 mins
1. Took down my 6-day old flat twists and got in the shower
2. Rinse hair for 1 minute, massaging scalp
3. Used a squeeze to Co-wash scalp for 2 minutes and rinsed
4. Put on 2 more squeezes, saturated ends, then scalp, showered
5. Kept in hair during errands, approx 4 hours.
REVIEW:
I purchased this product after a few ladies raved about it in a “BEST Moisturizing Conditioner” thread on a hair forum. Based on the conviction of the users I felt comfortable enough to order two bottles. This would also help toward Curlmart’s FREE shipping at $50 promo. The shipping and turnaround time from was timely and I really appreciated them taking time to tape the press button top closed for shipping. It comes in an almost homemade product-like packaging and the price point for amount per usage, it states use a generous amount, which is roughly a little less than a golf ball to me, is good.
I got in the shower and rinsed my hair thoroughly because I wasn’t using any shampoo. The product came out of the bottle-opening well and by God …. it smelled WONDERFUL!!! I didn’t smell it right away, but when I did I said how pleasant! I could feel the conditioner melt into my hair as I stroked down my strands and worked the product in. I smiled the entire time I massaged my hair, taking in the fragrance and enjoying the texture of my hair. This made me quite anxious to see how much slip I’d have when I rinsed it out later that evening.
>>>>4 Hours Later<<<
I rinsed my hair in the sink and dried my hair with a tee shirt. My hair was INDEED thoroughly moisturized!! I was able to blow dry with nothing else added because it’s one my methods to tell how well a product moisturizes my hair. It got a B+! I then put in a little grape seed oil and about 10 spirally, pin curls so I can wear a MASSIVE, textured, faux set.
This will stay in rotation and is definitely a winner!
