Carol's Daughter - Lisa's Hair Elixir Restoring Hair Oil - pics, swatches, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I have yet another Carol's Daughter hair product to share with you in this post! This time, it's a product for healthy scalp and hair: the Carol's Daughter Lisa's Hair Elixir Restoring Hair Oil. This works best as a hot oil treatment or pre-shampoo deeper conditioner. I like it for scalp health. Read my full review before, including all the product info, after the pics!

Restoring Hair Oil

  



Carol's Daughter Lisa's Hair Elixir Restoring Hair Oil Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $20.00 (4.25 fl oz full size). Available on the Carol's Daughter website, at Sephora, at Ulta, and everywhere else Carol's Daughter products are sold.
My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Kisses

A conditioning scalp and hair oil that moisturizes, soothes and rejuvenates both the follicle and scalp.

Basil Oil increase circulation in the scalp. Peppermint Oil moisturizes both scalp and hair. Clary Sage soothes your scalp if it's tight, itchy or irritated.

The only way to get healthy, beautiful hair is to nourish your hair through all three phases of growth - from deep inside the follicle, along the scalp, and all over the hair strand. This fan favorite hair oil from Carol's Daughter takes care of the last two phases as it rebalances and soothes the scalp. Plus, no parabens, no petroleum, no mineral oil, and no artificial colors.

When you get this you'll need to cut off the tip before use. You can use this by applying a small amount into your hands, rub together and then massage the oil into your scalp and hair.

You can use this as a hot oil treatment by putting it in a cup of hot water for 3 minutes, then apply to dry hair, concentrating on damaged areas. Rinse with warm water when you're done.

You can also use this as a deeper conditioner. Apply the oil all over and then cover your head with a towel and leave on for 5 minutes (a warm towel works best). Then rinse thoroughly with warm water and shampoo as usual.

This worked okay for me; I used it as a hot oil treatment mainly and would rinse it out and then shampoo. I do think it has made my scalp healthier and has helped to nourish my hair, but I don't see as many results as I do with say her Tui Hair Oil. I think this would be more effective on someone who has thicker, coarser hair or someone who is dealing with a lot of breakage. Also, if you want something healthy for your scalp then I would absolutely recommend this!

Macadamia Heat Setting Foam


 







Carol's Daughter Macadamia Heat Setting Foam Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $18.00 (6 fl oz full size is what I have) - although I think it now only comes in a 7.5 fl oz size, which is what the price is based on. Available on the Carol's Daughter website, at Ulta, at Sephora (only in a kit), at HSN, and everywhere else Carol's Daughter is sold.
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses!

Made with heat-protecting, super-ingredient Macadamia Oil and honey extract, this lightweight, creamy foam helps wet style your hair without any flaky, crunchy or sticky residue. Perfect for roller-setting, molding, or wrapping your hair. Now you can get and keep that soft, enviable body that's always so hard to achieve. Plus, no parabens, no petroleum, no mineral oil, and no artificial colors.

Winner of Allure's Best of Beauty Award 2012 - Best Styling Product!

Honey extract helps to heal and seal split ends. Henna extract helps seal down your cuticle layers to protect against damage and enhance shine. Macadamia Oil creates a protective barrier against high temperatures from styling tools.

This is a great product to use if you like to use velcro rollers to get volume in your hair; it really helps to hold that style and give your hair even better results. That's what I mostly use this product for. Also nice if you like to braid your hair while wet and wait till it dries to take the braids out and get that perfect beachy wave look. 

Would recommend to anyone who wet styles their hair. It smells soooo good too!

Macadamia Heat Protection Serum

 




Carol's Daughter Macadamia Heat Protection Serum Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $18.00 (1.5 fl oz full size is what I have) - although I do believe this only comes in a 2 oz size, which is what the pricing is for. Available on the Carol's Daughter website, at Ulta, at Sephora (only in a kit), at HSN, and everywhere else Carol's Daughter is sold.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

Frizz-fighting, smoothing gloss with thermal protection. Controls unmanageable frizz and protects against heat damage while styling your hair. The blend of Macadamia Oil and Hydrolyzed Silk smoothes your hair's texture for better shine and strengthens against daily wear and tear. Concentrated, so a little goes a long way, but never leaves your hair feeling greasy or heavy. Plus, no parabens, no petroleum, no mineral oil, and no artificial colors.

Macadamia Oil creates a protective barrier against high temperatures from styling tools. Hydrolyzed Silk helps fortify your hair against future damage. Biotin binds to your hair to help undo damage from heat styling.

I love this serum! It smells great and makes my hair soft and shiny. Perfect to use on your hair before flat ironing. Helps control frizz too and just makes everything looks sleek and smooth. Would recommend!

Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter & Hair Milk - pics, swatches, reviews

Hello, Beautiful!

I have two more Carol's Daughter hair products to share with you in this post. Normally I love almost everything from Carol's Daughter, but the two products in this post were just slightly too heavy for my fine, thin, hair. They are nice products though, so if you have thicker, coarser hair - or any other hair but fine and thin - you may really love these. Check out my full reviews on each product, including all the product info, after each set of pics.
Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter







Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $17.00 (8 oz full size). or available in a smaller, 4 oz size for $11.00. Available on the Carol's Daughter website, at Sephora, at Ulta, and everywhere else Carol's Daughter products are sold.
My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses

Use this nourishing hairdress to protect hair from damage, deeply moisturize and ease manageability. Plus, this best-seller shields hair from everyday wear and tear and boosts hair's natural shine. No parabens. No petroleum. No mineral oil. No artificial colors.

You can use this as a styling cream for natural hairstyles. You can use this as a leave-in moisturizer on wet hair after washing. You can use this as a hair and scalp moisturizer. You can use this as daily maintenance on children's hair. It also smooths edges and flyaways.

I like to apply this in my damp hair, just a little goes a long way, and then style as normal. It does add moisture and shine to my hair. If you use too much your hair can get that greasy look and it can weigh hair down - especially if you have long, fine, thin hair like I do.

This one jar will last forever, as you use very little. It's a nice product, but because my hair is so fine and thin I do find it can be a bit heavy, so I don't use this very often but I will use it every now and then. I would recommend this to people with dry, thick, or coarse hair - great for ethnic hair! 


Carol's Daughter Hair Milk
 

 




Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $9.00 to $20.00 depending on which size you get. Available on the Carol's Daughter website, at Sephora, at Ulta, and everywhere else Carol's Daughter is sold.
My Rating: 3 out of 5 Kisses

A rich moisturizing cream that quickly and easily absorbs into your curls, coils, kinks and waves to leave them defined, glossy and frizz-free.

Cocoa & shea butters intensely rehydrate your hair. Soybean oil leaves hair softer and stronger than before. Agave Nectar keeps moisture locked in for better definition and frizz control. No parabens. No petroleum. No mineral oil. No artificial colors.

I only have the travel-size, and I'm kind of glad about that because I don't think this did a whole lot for my hair. There are better Carol's Daughter hair products to choose from, especially ones that work better in my long, fine, thin hair.

I do think it works to define your hair and does a decent job with frizz control. I did see there is a light version of this, which I think may work better for my hair type. I think I'd recommend this if you have thicker, coarser hair.

Carol's Daughter Tui Hair Oil - pics, swatches, review

Hello, Beautiful!

If you like using hair oils then you may like the Carol's Daughter Tui Hair Oil. This yummy smelling oil moisturizes hair, leaving it soft and more manageable. I like using this because I feel its a lighter-weight oil and it moisturizes my long, fine, thin hair without weighing it down or making it look or feel greasy. My hair is always soft, moisturized and shiny when I use this. Check out my full review, including all the product info, after the pics!

Carol's Daughter Tui Hair Oil

 



Carol's Daughter Tui Hair Oil Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $10.00 (2 fl oz full size). Available on the Carol's Daughter website, at Sephora, some Ulta stores carry it (not online at this moment), and at other retailers that carry Carol's Daughter.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

A richly moisturizing hair and scalp oil that adds shine and softness.

Corn oil deeply moisturizes areas of your hair and scalp that are extra dry. Calendula extract helps add natural movement and softness back into your hair. Safflower oil protects your hair and scalp from the environment which can cause dryness. Contains a sweet and invigorating tropical scent for an uplifting fragrance experiences.

Adds a layer of extra moisture to replenish and maintain your hairs natural balance. The blend of Calendula Extract and Safflower Oil works to make hair softer and more flexible so its easier to style with a high-shine finish. Perfect as a pre-shampoo or hot oil treatment in the shower.

No parabens. No petroleum. No mineral oil. No artificial colors.

Performs double duty as a daily shine solution and a weekly hot oil treatment. Excellent for all hair types.

This oil smells great! I really like the scent; but I can't describe it - all I know is I'm sensitive to smells and I liked this one! I use maybe a dime size in my hair (from mid-shaft to ends, concentrating on the ends) and it's all I need. Even though this does richly moisturize your hair, I felt it is pretty light-weight - unless you use too much, of course (but that's true with any hair oil).

I have used this as a pre-shampoo treatment, but I mostly use it after I'm out of the shower. I apply it on my damp hair, concentrating on the ends, and it just helps my dry ends look healthy, shiny and moisturized!

Even though this is a smaller bottle, at 2 ounces, you only need to use a very little amount each time so this one bottle will last me a long time. I really liked this hair oil and would recommend!

Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer - pics, swatches, review

Hello, Beautiful!

Don't you just love it when you get a sample of something and then love it so much you need the full size? That's how it was with the Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer. Love this stuff for my ends - works like magic to make them look healthy once again. Check out my full review below, including all the product info, after the pics!

Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer

  






Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $25.00 (1.7 oz full size). Available on the Carol's Daughter website, at Sephora, at Ulta, at HSN, and everywhere else Carol's Daughter products are sold.
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses!

93.3% fewer split ends, instantly!

Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer is a repairing lotion that binds the separated and frayed ends of your hair together so you can skip the trim and keep your length.

Everyone wants stronger, longer hair that looks flawless from root to tip without the hassle of getting regular trims. The secret is, the less trims you need, the longer your hair can grow, and faster! So, stop cutting and start growing by binding the frayed and separated ends of your hair back together, making them look freshly cut, instantly! No parabens, no petroleum, no alcohol, no mineral oil and no artificial colors.

To use: Pump out a pea-sized amount and apply to wet or dry hair. Make sure to smooth completely through to the ends. Style as usual.

I originally got this as a sample a long time ago, I believe from Sephora, and I really liked it. It does what it says, and for me, that's important. This is an easy step to add into my hair care routine. I usually apply to wet hair, but I honestly think it works a bit better on dry hair - but it can weigh them down a bit if you're not careful --- then again, keep in mind I have very fine, thin hair.

Overall, I think this is a great product that I'd recommend to anyone who wants their ends to look healthy, smooth and freshly cut!
