Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo

Craving something scented like coconut, I gave Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo a try, thinking it would deliver a pleasant beachy scent and nothing more. Like many people, I was skeptical and thought “natural” shampoo meant it might be weak or ineffective. But I was so, so wrong! (hangs head in shame)

Dessert Essence Coconut Shampoo touts itself as moisturizing, and it really, truly works. My hair was pretty unhappy when I started using it. My ends were fried from a bad dye job and my scalp was itchy due to lack of humidity in the air. Not only did this coconut shampoo smell heavenly, but it truly did what it promised: it delivered real moisture to my ends, added shine, and healed my dry, itchy scalp.

Now I am a believer in the power of coconut oil. No more skepticism, I promise. I will also be more open-minded about today’s natural and organic bath and body products, which have come a long way in recent years in terms of power and effectiveness.
