Georgia Peach Shampoo & Manzanilla Coconut Conditioner

I set up a little rule for myself: I'm going to try different products for my hair and I'm going to use them up instead of (which is mostly the case) throwing them away and buy the old one again.
Even though the product might not be the best!

So this time the product review's gonna be about two products from Curls Of The World:

The "Georgia Peach Shampoo" and...

...the "Manzanilla Coconut Conditioner"

The cirterias were the same as with the Urtekram Rhassoul Shampoo in the post below:

1. price
2. smell
3. cleansing
4. ingredients
5. texture
6. cruelty free? (not animal tested)
7. promises of the product
8. How my hair felt afterwards

1. On the official website from Curls Of The World both products are sold for $10.99.
     I bought the products at a shop called "Cynthia's bliss 4 curls" where both products are 12.90€.

2. The Georgia Peach Shampoo claims to smell like fresh peaches in Georgia. I personally think the smell is 
     kinda unnatural (in my opinion it smells like the dextrose from our local pharmacy...). But if you like
     peaches you'll love this one. ;)
     Here is what it says on the Manzanilla Coconut Conditioner:

     

Manzanilla Coconut is inspired by the serene beauty of the lovely coconut trees that line Manzanilla Beach,         located on the east side of the island of Trinidad. So relax and let the waves of fragrant coconut surround, and   moisturize your curls.

    Yeah it really smells like coconut, afterwards the smell got a bit annoying.

3. At first I thought there'd be no cleansing effect at all! My hair felt creamy and a bit greasy, but as I said
    I followed my rule to use each shampoo up! So I continued using the products. This was only
    "possible", because we curly girls are lucky: Our hair never looks greasy even when it is!!
    So it might felt strange, but nobody would notice 'cause you wouldn't see it!
    But after a while I thought I might be doing something wrong...
    I wrote an e-mail to the shop-owner of "Cynthia's bliss 4 curls" for advice explaining the situation and my
    "hair-care-routine". She advised me to leave on the conditioner for about 20 minutes (previously I rinsed  
    it out after five minutes). I did what she told me and guess what it worked!! My hair felt clean, but not
    strawy clean. I've been following this routine for the rest "of the shampoo" and I've been deeply satisfied
    with it! :)

4. Georgia Peach Shampoo:

 Saponified oils of Avocado, Borage, Castor, Coconut, Evening Primrose, Palm, Sesame, Safflower, Sweet Almond Oil, Aloe Vera Oil, Saponfied butters of Cocoa and Shea.

Vegetable Glycerin, Lavendar Essential Oil, Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Silver Citrate, Natural Fresh Peach Fragance.

    Manzanilla Coconut Conditioner:
  
Aloe Vera Whole Leaf Juice (Organic), Avocado Oil, Citric Acid, DL Panthenol,

Emulsifying wax, Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Oat Protein, Palm Steari Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Safflower Oil, Rosemary Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, Silk Protein, Silver Citrate, Vitamin E, Water, Wheat Germ Oil and Natural Coconut fragrance oil.

 5. The texture of both productes is fluidly, but still a bit creamy and the colour is white.

6. Yep, both productes are cruelty free!

 

7.  Both products promise you freshness and moisture.

8.  As I said my hair at first felt greasy and creamy, but in the end (with 20 minutes conditioner treatment)
     it felt clean and moisturized!You need to get used to the smell, but that's piece of cake (if it's not too
     strong it doesn't matter if you've found the "perfect shampoo" for you ;P).
     So for my 3a/3b curls this was just what they needed! But I have to say that I've been using
     the "Gypsy Magic Hair Growth Oil", the "Tahitian Bay Leave-In Conditioner" and the "Just The Flax"
     flaxseed-gel after washing (all of these are also from COTW). (but if the shampoo damages your hair   
     even styling products can't hide it!)
