Hair Product Review: Yes To Carrots! Shampoo & Conditioner & Lotion

Today I'm going to make this a quick Blog on another hair product I recently tried.  "Yes To Carrots" Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner for Normal to Dry Hair are the two products I want to give a quick review on.  I have tried both the shampoo and conditioner together, and have even tried them separately with other products.  I figured that their hair care line had to be pretty good being that their Body Lotion is really good (and I mean good lol soft skin instantly that smells like fresh baby powder).  Well depending on your hair type, you may or may not like the Yes To Carrots Shampoo and Conditioner for Normal to Dry Hair.  I'm not sure if they will ever have a shampoo and conditioner for very dry hair, however I am definitely going to look into it, as I feel it may be a better choice for certain hair types like mine (curly/wavy/frizzy hair).  If you have straight or loose wavy/curly hair without any frizz, than Yes To Carrots normal to dry hair shampoo and conditioner would work well for you. 

For me it left my hair feeling a little stripped, as my hair requires a lot of moisture and deep conditioning. Most curly/kinky/frizzy hair requires a lot of moisturizing, whereas straight to light wavy/curly hair without frizziness does not require the same very deep moisturizing.  I will say though that the Yes To Carrots Nourishing Shampoo and the conditioner for normal to dry hair did help my scalp to be less dry and itchy ( a dry scalp tends to be itchy, and even though oiling the scalp can help, a good shampoo and conditioner can help soothe and moisturize a scalp as well), and I did notice a healthy difference in my hair though.  There are a lot of good ingredients in their shampoo and conditioner.  I had to add Kinky Curl's Knot Today Leave-In conditioner or Curls Leave In Conditioner to moisturize my hair so it won't be dry and super frizzy after using Yes To Carrots.  Yes To Carrots did enhance my curl and wave patterns in my hair a little more, it just left my hair feeling a little stripped.  I sometimes would use a different shampoo with the Yes To Carrots Conditioner, as the Yes To Carrots Shampoo is the main culprit in leaving my hair feeling stripped of it's natural moisture. 

So overall Yes To Carrots Shampoo and Conditioner for normal to dry hair is a pretty okay product line to use, just make sure to use a good leave in moisturizing conditioner afterward if you have curly/wavy/kinky/frizzy combination type of hair like I do.  Yes to Carrots does have a Leave-In Conditioner and Moisturizing Cream/Balm for hair which may give better moisturizing results if used after their shampoo and conditioner.  I haven't tried it.  So maybe that would've made the difference. 

Perhaps their hair care line produces it's best results when all products in their lines are used together completely.  However, beware that their entire hair care line is a little expensive.  Though there are a lot of good ingredients in their Yes To Carrots Hair and Skin care line: carrot juice, dead sea water, dead sea minerals, chamomile flower oil, sweet almond oil, pumpkin fruit extract, calendula see oil, melon fruit extract, honey extract, orange fruit extract, pomegranate extract, olive oil, sweet potato extract,  jojoba oil, wheat germ, and other ingredients.   So it seems to be worth the price. I paid $8-9 for the shampoo and conditioner each.  I of course bought their Yes To Carrots moisturizing body lotion as it instantly makes your skin feel so soft and smells great (it too was -$8-9) so that pushed my tab up to about $30.00 after tax for all 3 products.  The Yes To Carrots Leave In Conditioner and Hair Cream/Balm is also on average $8-9.  You can find Yes To Carrots Products at Target, Walmart, Krogers, and other retailers. They also have a Yes to Cucumbers line as well, that I have yet to try yet, but probably will in the future and will definitely let you all know. www.yestocarrots.com is the product web site.
