“Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh…” That’s the sound my hair made when I first used Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner! The second the shampoo hit my hair, I knew that this was ultra moisturizing. My hair is pretty unique. The shafts of my hair are very thick and quite honestly, I have a lot of it! There is a slight curl to my hair as well, so the odds are already set against me… I have dry, frizzy hair!

Desert Essence Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner contains a moisture packing trio: Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil and Olive Oil. These three oils pack a thirst quenching “punch” for your hair. I could stand in the shower forever just running my fingers through my hair while the conditioner sets!

Now let’s talk styling products! The Coconut Hair Defrizzer and Heat Protector is great… I love knowing that my hair is protected no matter what tool and heat I run over it. If my hair is not straightened or scrunched up, it is pretty much useless, so I throw a lot of heat at it unfortunately. This product gets TWO thumbs up in my book.

Desert Essence2Coconut Shine and Refine Hair Lotion is a weightless way to add a little shine to your hair. I use this when I am straightening my hair for a few days and enjoy the fact that it does not make my hair feel greasy.

When I am not straightening my hair, I am using a diffuser to curl my hair. I gave Coconut Soft Curls Hair Cream a try. While it create VERY soft curls, I did not find that my particular curl worked well with this product. My hair is not completely curly, so I found that it did not help “add” curl for me. If you have beautiful curls without any product, you will love this! It will help tame those frizzies and give you soft, beautiful curls!

There is one overall theme to the coconut hair care products from Desert Essence… smell! I’m talking “eyes roll to the back of the head” kind of smell. Yeah, it’s that good!

  7. I would love their Tea Tree Replenishing Shampoo, i’ve tried different name brands, but this particular shampoo seems to do wonders for my hair, so far regardless of what name stands behind it 😉

  19. I think the heat protector would be best for me. I always take a straightener to my hair when I go out, and it’s important to me to protect it from damage.

  33. I have straight hair, so I think the Coconut Shine and Refine Hair Lotion would work best for me.

  35. My hair is so thin. From the descriptions, it looks like Green Apple & Ginger Shampoo would work best for my hair, but the others sound like they would smell amazing!

  37. The coconut hair defrizzer and heat protector would be great for my frizzy hair. I normally use frizz-ease by John Frieda, but I would love to try the Desert Essence brand. I also love the smell of coconut, so this would be an added bonus. Thanks so much!

  38. I could really use the Italian Red Grape Shampoo to help protect my hair when I’m outside.

  40. Italian Red Grape Shampoo Antioxidant U I think would work for me.

  46. I have a ton of split ends, so the Shea Butter Shampoo would be great for me. Thanks!

  58. I would like to try the Tea Tree Oil Facial Cleansing Pads! I already use tea tree on my nails.

  60. The Italian Red Grape shampoo sounds amazing and it probably smells amazing too!!

  62. I think the coconut shampoo would help keep my hair healthy after daily drying and heat styling.

  67. The Coconut hair defrizzer and heat protector would help my hair since I blow dry and straighten it.

  68. I would love to try the Italian Red Grape shampoo and conditioner for my color treated hair.

  81. I think the Jojoba shampoo would be best for my hair. I have really fine hair and anything made for dry hair typically makes my hair greasy. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!

  82. The Shea Butter Shampoo sounds lovely! I love the smell of Shea butter – smells very clean to me.

  89. The Green Apple and Ginger shampoo would work well for my hair.

  90. I already know that the coconut soft curl cream works with my hair, so I imagine the shampoo and conditioner would as well. I’m also interested in the Italian Red Grape Shampoo and Conditioner for my color treated hair.

  95. The Coconut Hair Defrizzer and Heat Protector! It’s so hot in Texas and this would be great for me.

    1. The conditioner would be best for me right now. It says dry hair and from a summer of swimming, my hair is super dry!

  109. The coconut shampoo or the Coconut hair defrizzer and heat protector would work best for me, I think.

    Thanks!

  118. I think the product that would be best for my hair is the Coconut Soft Curls Hair Cream! I do have curly hair, and in the Florida heat & humidity it tends to frizz!

  119. I think the COCONUT HAIR DEFRIZZER AND HEAT PROTECTOR would be great for my hair! I sure could use it for the humid Fall weather where I live!

  122. The Jojoba conditioner sounds good for me. I have longer hair, so I like that it’s lightweight and strengthens hair.

  126. I have dry and brittle hair so I think the Coconut or the Shea Butter would be good for me.

  133. I think the Jojoba might be best, but I think the Shea Butter and Coconut would also work well for me.

  136. I think the Coconut Shampoo would be best as I have dry hair and this would be great to add moisture back in. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

  145. i think the defrizzer and heat protector might be good for me because I also have to straighten my hair or where it wavy/curly

  148. I think the lemon tea tree would suit me best. My hair is super thick and super coarse…

  149. For MY hair I’d say the Green Apple and Ginger shampoo would help my hair most .. but I am hoping to win this giveaway for my 25 yr old daughter who has very thick and curly hair and her issue she says she runs into sometimes especially when it’s humid are frizzies so I would imagine the product she would most like to try is the COCONUT SHINE AND REFINE HAIR LOTION or any of the other coconut products.

  153. These sound great and I bet they smell absolutely amazing! I need that Heat Protector for sure…the curling wand is taking a toll on my locks but I just can’t part with it! :-/
