Carol's Daughter Tui Hair Trio
Topic: Hair Items

Two out of three ain't bad...and one of these products definately sucks.

I started using Carol's Daughter several months ago and while I love most of her products, not everything is a winner.

Tui Hair Oil ($8.500 This is a product with two glorious uses.  If you're in a pinch and need to add a bit of shine to your hair, just rub a small amount through your head and you're good to go.  The Tui Hair Oil is also a hot oil treatment that can be used to deep condition damaged hair.  This is a must have.

Tui Herbal Shampoo ($12.50) I loved this when I first got it, but perhaps only because I was using it in tandem with the other products.  When used alone, I find that this strips hair over time, leaving it frayed and dry. After going through the ingredients, I really can't figure out what in it is causing me so much trouble.  At any rate, it has been removed from my "must buy again" list.  So long! 

Tui Hair Smoothie ($19) This is the intense conditioning treament and it.is.amazing.  The Hair Smoothie is one of the best conditioners that I've used in a long time - it smells delicious, detangles and leaves hair soft and managable.  The one thing I hate about it is the container.  There's nothing fun about digging into a jar of goo when you're in a shower.  I also find that the jar doesn't last too long.  Maybe I'm over using, but I slather on conditioner like nobody's business and I only got a few uses out of it.  Still, it's a small price to pay for awesomness. 

I ordered my CD products from Sephora, but I've seen better deals for it at HSN, so you may want to check there first.  Happy Shopping!

I agreee about the Tui Herbal Shampoo.  I have chemically straightened hair, and could not figure out for the life of me why my hair was so dry after I washed as opposed to being conditioned and soft.  I stopped using the Tui Herbal Shampoo and went back to the Khoret Amen, and its helped some. I've found that I have not had any luck with the Hair smoothies either.  the Kiehl's olive oil shampoo and conditioner and hair mask are a great buy for intense moisturization.  Oh that is so not a word!

Just wanted to clear some things up so that everybody is happy. There are 4 (soon to be 5) shampoos available at Carols Daughter and the reason for this is to address the varying needs of individual hair.

Tui shampoo does NOT strip hair. If you are having this issue, then you might want to examine some of your styling products. (Comment is for poster above you).

For you, if you want softness from your shampoo (which generally doesn't happen because of the very purpose of shampoos, which is to cleanse), there is a way to achieve that. Khoret Amen is great for dry scalp, but you should switch to the Black Vanilla Herbal Shampoo. It leaves the hair feeling softer and manageable. It has a creamy lather that will even absorb into your skin.

I work at a Carol's Daughter, and have worked for a variety of companies in this industry, and have found her products to be the best for what they do. When you go into ANY store, ask an associate to make you some samples so you can try before you buy. At our store in Pentagon City, we prefer for our Guests to get what they need, not what they want, have heard about, or think will work, so we constantly sample. Sometimes it takes trial and error to figure out which regimen will be best suited for your hair type and texture.

Hope this helps.

Lynx - thanks for stopping by - its always great when someone from the company adds their input!

To address the stripping issue, nothing else changed in my routine save the Tui Shampoo and once that was removed everything returned to normal.  It sounds like you had a great experience with it, but for me it just didn't work out so well.  Ah well, as I mentioned, other CD products are Holy Grail items for me (Tui Hair Smoothie, Hair Balm and Hair Oil) so I have nothing but love for the line lol.

You've really gotten my interest with the new shampoo - do you know when it will be released and the properties of it?
