Taliah Waajid "Total Body Black Earth Shampoo"
8oz./ $8.00
"Use Total Body Shampoo to cleanse the hair while conditioning. This shampoo has great lather and really works to soften while cleansing. It is important to completely saturate the scalp and hair before applying this shampoo. Once the shampoo is applied to the scalp, work the shampoo down through the hair strands until you achieve the desired lather. Rinse the hair, repeat shampoo and finish with Enhancing Herbal Conditioner."

I had a bad case of "buyer's impulse" when I purchased this poo.  People recommend Taliah Waajid products' to me all the time and by reading the description they seem great.  As most of you know I don'tcan't use Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium laurilsulfate and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS or NaDS) because I'm allergic to it. To make a long story short SLS is listed as an ingredient on the bottle towards the bottom in the center.  I completelymissed it...damn buyer's impulse.  I actually didn't notice that it had SLS for two days when my scalp stated itching really bad.  Besides that the shampoo was ok.  It got my hair clean without over cleaning but did not lather as well as describe.  The lather was very mild.  I went to mirror to see if there was any lather at all because I didn't feel any.  If she was able to create a SLS free formula of this poo I would consider purchasing it again.
I visited Taliah Waajid's website and noticed a couple couple things that aren't "normal" for natural hair companies.

  • She doesn't list the ingredients with the products.  Instead you go to the have to click on the "Detailed product info & directions for use" link.
  • After you click on the "Detailed product info & directions for use" you would expect to see details.  Unfortunately she only list active ingredients.  Not to be random but MAC list more ingredients than she does when requested.  Listing just the active ingredients doesn't help and tends to make me think that you're hiding something.  Most natural hair companies proudly list most if not all of their wonderful ingredients.
