Also, the things that I did buy didn't do what I wanted them to do. The loc butter was a bit too greasy for me, plus the smell of the Mimosa Hair Honey got old quickly before the end of the day. Also, their customer service was absolutely atrocious! CD once carried a product called Honey Pudding. Now, I loved that one! It was extra rich, thick, and very moisturizing. I ordered the 32 ounce jar, which they inappropriately packed by stacking two glass jars ON TOP of each other. The smaller jar broke the top of the 32-ounce glass jar thereby pushing crushed and broken glass into the butter. I tried calling and e-mailing. After MANY attempts, they replaced my 32-ounce jar with a SAMPLE jar of butter. I got attitude big time from customer service, as if I was inconveniencing them!! That butter was NOT CHEAP and that was quite a while ago. I'll never do business with them again.

I mean, I have tried everything from that line Hair Milk, Black Vanlla Leave-in, Mimosa Hair Honey, ect and I can never get the results that Ms Lisa seems to achieve. I've never understood why people put up such a fus about there being corn oil in her products though. I mean, there are other ingredients in the product right? My motto is that if it works...it works...it just so happens that CD ain't workin' for me right now...though I do love me some Pearls and Almond Cookie. I have "tex-laxed" hair, and use the Mineral Indulgence line and LOVE their customer service, I swear they responded back to me right after I sent in my inquiry and helped me out (no attitude) along the way. THAT's how you do it! I use the Dress To Impress when I straighten (silky smooth) and use the Coily Locks moisture whipped for twist outs. I just think the Mineral Indulgence products work best on my hair, and from my experience their honey almond fragrance is similar enough to almond cookie for me to be able to resist buying from CD for a while. *sigh* Is it just me, or does it look like Lisa uses other products than her own?

(I had a short 'fro that I had been nuturing). Now, I'm in search for a product to keep my hair healthy. Carol's Daughter products were mentioned,and I rushed to a local Sephora store to make a purchase. Although I had done some research about the product, I was just as confused at the store as I am now as to which product to use on my "now" processed hair. Everytime I think I have it figured out as to which products to use, I read a review about how it works on natural curly hair. I ended up purchasing the hair milk during my visit to Sephora (the associate assisting me didn't have a clue about CD products). Needless to say, when I contacted a CD rep., I was informed that the hair milk is for curly hair. I'm confused and need help with my texturized hair care.

Love the products! However,customer service is a joke. While talking to them, I couldn't beleive I placed an order with a company who's employees couldn't give a crap about you or the money you spent. I should have just went to a street corner and handed $150 to a random person. Maybe I would have gotten a thank you. I will NEVER order online again. My 6 year old neice could provide better service! Get it together people! Love what CD stands for.

However, as I am from London UK, it is ridiculous that CD do not ship to the UK. They go on about the "support" from The Smiths and Jayz yet they can't ship to London in this day and age. Instead, I have come across people selling the CD products with a 200% mark up. By contrast Miss Jessie's ships to the UK. Hi Afrobella,

I rushed to sephora and all of the scents are way to strong and just not to my liking. I would like to see unscented or softer scents. I do not have allergies or anything by the way. Karen's body Beautiful is a good example of great scents. I do not understand the objection to price. CD has great ingredients and I am happy to support black business or any business for that matter that produces a quality product. (I save money by not going to the salon all the time so the $$ is an even wash). The I really wanted to like the CD products, but I hate the scents!

I went back to macy's and she gave me all of my money back. I bhought it because my friend screamed about it for so long since and it does so much for her hair. I tried it and was like "womp womp" Some of the products even made my hair dry! I think it works great for certain hair textures, but not mine!

The website didn't list ingredients (big no-no for me) but I figured they were getting around to it and decided to email them and inquire about the ingredients of two particular products I was considering. The response was that this lady didn't have the products at her desk and so she couldn't answer my question and that I should go to a Sephora store to check the ingredients. Damage done, potential customer lost!! I replied that this was not half-a$$, but quarter-a$$ customer service and how dare they tell anyone to go to the store and see for themselves, perhaps I was asking them because there isn’t a Sephora store close to me and I’m not driving all over creation wasting my oh so precious gas just to see what’s in something! Sorry I can't give a product review but I wanted to let them know that the ingredients for everything need to be clearly visible on the site, and when someone asks a question please give a better response than ‘you’re on your own’!
