As a person that struggles with dry 4C hair The Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Moisture-Replenishing Shampoo has been amazing for my hair. My hair stays moisturized even after drying my hair. I am absolutely in love with the product.

I STARTED USING THIS PRODUCT ON MY 4C NATURAL HAIR ABOUT A YEAR AGO .. THIS PRODUCT HAS HELPED ME MAINTAIN A CLEAN DANDRUFF FREE SCALP EVER SINCE I BEGUN USING IT. IT CLEANSES THE HAIR , AND WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DETANGLING CONDITIONER AND THE CURL PUDDING IT LEAVES THE HAIR COILS HEALTHY AND HYDRATED ..AND I MUST ADD THAT THE MANGO OIL SCENT MAKES THE PRODUCT EVEN MORE PLEASANT TO USE EVERY 2 WEEKS .. LOVE LOVE LOVE

I was quite skeptical about the product’s hydrating claim as I have used many shampoos that have promised moisture and none of them have ever delivered. However, I was quite surprised at how soft my hair felt after I washed it! It’s the first shampoo that’s ever left my hair actually feeling moisturised despite it containing the dreaded sulphate and my scalp felt clean as well after use. It’s also quite inexpensive and a little goes a long way, which is a huge bonus!

The best part about this product is that is mineral & paraben free which is the first thing I always look for in a product. The worst part has to be the mango smell as I don't like the fruit.

However the results I got from using this product are enough to make me overlook the smell.

The lather was really good which came as a surprise considering the ingredients list. I only did two washes which was good enough to cleanse my hair thoroughly.

I would definitely recommend this product. If you already liked it. I recommend that you try out the 3 in 1 cleansing conditioner which is even better.

I absolutely love this shampoo. During the wash the lather seemed to be a little too good to be true and I was afraid my hair would dry even more than before once the hair dried. None of that with this shampoo. Well done dark and Lovely on this one. Au Naturale fan club right here. Smells great too.

One thing I hate about shampos is that they tend to strip my hair of everything, including my natural oils and I end up with dry hair that needs a serious deep conditioning.

This product, on the other hand, does the exact opposite. I wet my hair with warm water before applying the product and rinsing it out. The end result were soft curls that weren't dry and brittle.

The product smells amazing, and very little is needed for a thick lather meaning it will last longer! It doesn't contain any sulphates, parabens, mineral oils and petroleum, which cause damage to curly haired beauties.

Definitely recommend this!

I used this shampoo and conditioner for the first time and I could feel the difference in my hair,love the smell and the magic was instant.
My hair heather,stronger and more manageable.
I have even opted to take a break from plating and just enjoy the 3 step routine every second day.

I really enjoyed this shampoo. I love the consistency of it (it’s not too thick but at the same time not too runny) and it smells amazing! This product claims to cleanse and bring moisture to the scalp- which is not far from the truth. This shampoo did an excellent job at cleansing and bringing moisture to my hair (which was a huge plus as most shampoos tend to dry my hair). This shampoo left my hair feeling super soft and smelling amazing! I would definitely recommend and repurchase this product.

This is my second time using the shampoo. I do not know what went wrong the last time, but I had more foam this time. Anyway I used a wide tooth comb to detangle my hair while I still had the shampoo in my hair. My hair did not break at all as I detangled ( Surprising).
I love the fruity scent of the shampoo. I would really recommend this product.

It smells so fruity and lathers really well. I found the shampoo to be very softening (while using) and I could actually de-tangle with it. I have mixed feeling about the sulfate ingredient that this shampoo has because it also contributes to making our hair dry but at the same time it's necessary to cleanse & clarify.


To counter act the drying effect I would recommend the use of an oil before shampooing (also known as pre-poo) or mixing the shampoo with the conditioner when washing.


Over all the Shampoo gets a 7/10

The Knot out conditioner is one of my favorite products in this range! It smells divine, is an amazing detangler so I don't feel like I'm losing chunks of hair while I'm washing it because hair is not knotted. So I don't end up with chunks of hair on the floor. I comb it through and the comb glides through. It's amazing! My hair came out smelling amazing and so soft and not knotted like it used to be. Definitely worth buying!

I love this shampoo from its tropical scent to how it leaves hair so clean and soft! Initially I wasn't impressed about its foaming abilities but on my second wash I realized that I needed to get my hair really wet first and then let it work it's magic. I would definitely recommend it to all my friends and family members.

This shampoo has an amazing tropical scent that last just over a week on my hair. It does have a sulfate in it but is a great clarifying shampoo to remove product build up.

My hair felt really clean after I used the shampoo. It was soft and looked incredibly moisturized. Defos a thumbs up from me. I will be using this shampoo during the summer months :).

Definitely love at first use! I love the fruity smell and I love most things about this product. It foamed a nice lather, it was not too thick so I had to add in a little more. My hair felt great, smelled heavenly and was soft to the touch after shampooing it. My scalp didn't feel itchy after shampooing my hair which is a bonus for me. I love this product, I wish it was thicker in terms of lather but this is not a deal breaker, I still love the product and will recommend it.

Day1- The shampoo smell is great, inviting and fruity, ha ha perfect for the season we are in at the moment 'Spring'. The texture of the shampoo is nice and slippery in your hands, glides easily onto the hair. I had no bad reaction.
