Normally, I am extremely wary of using shampoos on my hair. I am a co-washing type of girl.

I tried the Dark and Lovely Au Naturale moisture replenishing shampoo and from the get go I was in love with the smell of the product. I loved the fact that it was not overly "soapie" I am not a fan of products that have too much lather.

After washing, I noticed that the curl definition in my hair was not as defined as it should be, but my scalp was clean and my hair smelt A.M.A.Z.I.N,G

Unfortunately, the day after my hairline and ears broke out in a rash, so I think I had a bad reaction to the actual shampoo. The rash cleared after a few days and I haven't used the shampoo since.

I have high porosity hair (absorb moisture really quickly) but I live in Cape Town, and the wind is extremely harsh and dries out hair very quickly, so I'm particular about moisture especially in shampoos.

I was excited when I read that this was a 'Moisture-replenishing'shampoo, but disappointed after use. My hair was left dry and tangled and all the moisture had been stripped which I blame on the sulfates!!

After one uses I opted to co-wash with the conditioner which is much more effective or combine the conditioner with the shampoo (1 part shampoo:2 parts conditioner).

Overall, there are more effective shampoos on the market.
