Pumpkin Seed Moisturizing conditioner [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Use as a cream rinse or rinse-out conditioner to give your curls a wonderful boost of moisture and softness. (the bottle says to leave it on for 15-20 mins)

WHAT'S IN IT?
Distilled Water, BTMS (a mild conditioning emulsifier), Pumpkin Seed Oil, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Japanese Camellia Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Botanical Oil Complex, Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Panthenol, Ximenia Oil (Wild Plum) and fragrance.

HOW DO I USE IT?
*Use it as a cream rinse to naturally condition dry curls, locs & waves.
*Use as rinse-out conditioner to add moisture.
*Use to promote healthy hair growth

My thoughts: This conditioner is awesome! As soon as I put it on my hair, it just melted. Love it, love it, love it! The smell is very faint. I was expecting a loud Yankee Candle pumpkin scent, but it's very, very subtle. I got this in a swap, but once it's gone I will be repurchasing.

*Use to add much needed moisture to parched curls.
*Use to condition locs, twists & braids.

My thoughts: This is a nice leave-in conditioner. It has a nice sweet, but not overpowering smell. It doesn't "wow" me like the conditioner, but it is very moisturizing. It helps my hair to airdry soft whereas other products leave it kind of crunchy. May/may not repurchase.

*Many of our customers also use it as a body butter!!! Works great as a multi-purpose hair & body butter:)

My thoughts: I really like this product. I thought it would be more like a pudding, but it's actually a very smooth cream. It's not at all like the butters I've gotten from other companies. There's no separation of the oil and butters, just a nice smooth cream. It absorbs well into the hair without being greasy. It's also 100% natural and 100% vegan. Definite repurchase!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I love her products!

Her products did not work for me. I'm glad that I got the samples.

I decided to place an order, however, the gift pack sample is out of stock. So, I might wait until the sample is back in stock or order the Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme and Coconut Lemongrass Transitioning Styling Creme...idk.

I am going back to this...the only thing that really moisturizes my hair without feeling greasy



This is my best puff using Madagascar Vanilla Styling Cream

NyLa, your puff looks great...beautiful curls!

Thank you Pink Pearls!!

I too wanted to get the sample pack. I'm so sad that it's out of stock.

I had to order through her etsy site because a few products I wanted were
out-of-stock on the .com site. However, the sample pack was not available on either site.

I usually order samples whenever possible for this very reason. Sorry they didn't work out for you.

I was actually looking at that too. I wanted to get the curly coils sample pack. I've heard good stuff about the curling jelly.

Pinkpearls, do you have the link to her etsy site?

FYI ladies, you can also get her products from honeyfig.com and goodhairmart.com.

@ LaToya28: I found this link http://www.etsy.com/shop/darcysbotanicals

Thanks for the review, I think I'm going to try the sample pack when it comes in.

Ok...I'll let you all know. I ordered the following: NEW Pumpkin Seed Moisturizing Conditioner, Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme and Coconut Lemongrass Transitioning Creme.

Sorry I'm a little late...Thanks BAMcurls!

Thank you LaToya! I also used the curling gelly! The owner of Darcy's has the best customer service. I got her stuff really quick plus she sent a sample of the curling gelly. I used it and it worked really well.

I need to learn to use what my hair likes and stop jumping on the PJ wagon!

I'm still new to transitioning and trying to find products my hair likes. However, once I find what works, I'm done!

I tried the Curling Jelly for a WNG. On it's own, it made my hair very stiff, and frizzy. Maybe I used too much, cause i Shingled it in. Although i loved the fragrance, I was not a happy camper. However, the next morning, i co washed with Aussie Moist, used a dab of the Curling Jelly and a lil bit of African pride moisturizing gel activator and VOILA i had curls and coils that lasted 3 days! Give it a try. It may work for you.

Just received my Darcy's order, and the products smell heavenly. Last night, I tried the Pumpkin Seed Moisturizing Conditioner, Coconut Lemongrass Transition creme and Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme. The products were great and made my hair so soft and moisturized . Although the pumpkin smell is faint, the fragrance gave me a headache. However, I will continue to use and repurchase it. I'm hoping, after continued use, my allergies will become resistant to the pumpkin fragrance.

I received my order of Darcy's on 4.22.10 and i was soo anxious. As I waited for my son to finish his TAe Kwon Do practice I couldnt resist smelling and putting the products in my hair. I am a new DARCY customer!!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I loved the smell for starters. And from there I fell in love with how moisturizing her products are. My hair is loving it. I will repurchase again. I love that I am a pj btw. If i wasnt how else would my hair have fell in love with this product.

I bought: The hair pomade(C&C butter), Avocado and Honey twisting cream, and the leave in conditioner in sweet cream

I am really loving her products. At night, I spritz my hair with rosewater, then apply the Coconut Lemongrass Transitioning Creme and the Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme to my hair, and make 6 braids. In the morning, my hair is soft, moisturized and frizz-free. I just ordered the leave-in because I plan to use the transitioning creme for moisturizing in the am and pm.
