I haven’t bought my own shampoo in about three years.
I’ve still got more shampoo left that I received for trial and review to finish up, but when I ordered it online originally, I goofed and ordered “low suds” shampoo. I’m a mega suds shampoo person, so even though I love the scent of the shampoo and how my hair looks, I love suds. So I decided to use a 40% off coupon at CVS and buy myself a new shampoo that I’d never tried before. I bought Carol’s Daughter Sacred Tiare Anti-Breakage Anti-Frizz Sulfate-free Shampoo.
For my coarse, color-treated hair, I’m always looking for color-safe and anti-frizz. This version of Carol’s Daughter fit the bill. Oh, and I only bought the shampoo. I am odd in that I don’t care about matching the shampoo and conditioner. I like to use different conditioners depending on how my hair feels that day. JOICO KPak Lustre Lock Hair Treatment is my HG conditioner though it’s too intense to use all the time.
Back to Carol’s Daughter Sacred Tiare Shampoo. Kind of a strange name “Sacred Tiare”. Sacred Tiare Shampoo is formulated with strengthening Coprah Coconut Oil. Sometimes it pays not to do too much research, lol. I was wondering why they call it “sacred”, and frankly, I’m not sure why. What I learned is the “copra” is the dried meat of the coconut from which coconut oil is extracted. It sounds like a dirty, unpleasant business. Perhaps Carol’s Daughter calls it sacred because it is a commodity that helps those who raise or harvest coconut palms earn a living!? At any rate, this protein-rich ingredient is blended with the Tiare Gardenia Flower, frizz-stopping Shea Butter and Moringa Seed Oil. The resulting shampoo not only cleans and detangles, but makes hair stronger for smooth, no-frizz hair.
In spite of copra’s shady background, the resulting shampoo is very nice. The key ingredients are:
- Coconut Oil
- Tiare Gardenia
- Shea Butter
- Moringa Seed Oil
- Hibiscus Extract
- Sage
- Vegetable Protein
- Silk
The shampoo itself is an ivory pearl liquid. It has a pleasant, light coconut scent. It makes a ton, and I mean a TON of suds. For me, that’s a good thing. The shampoo rinses clean, and it does give my hair a squeaky feeling. The first time I used the shampoo, I hadn’t shampooed my hair since I had it colored 5 days before, so I decided to do a second lather that was probably unnecessary. Frankly, the second lather was too much. When I rinsed out the shampoo the second time, my hair was definitely “squeaky clean”, in fact too squeaky clean. I do not recommend a second lather with this shampoo because it felt almost like I had stripped my hair. Since then, I’ve stuck to one lather and it’s been great.
My hair using Carol’s Daughter Sacred Tiare Shampoo in conjunction with JOICO KPak Lustre Lock has been unbelievably smooth and sleek. A great combo for me.
I bought Carol’s Daughter Sacred Tiare Shampoo at CVS, but it’s available also at Walgreens and Target. The MSRP on the Carol’s Daughter website is $10.

Have you used Carol’s Daughter Haircare? If so, which have you tried?
I haven’t tried anything from the brand in a long time, but the products that I did try long ago were perfect for curly hair. I tend to keep away from shampoos that leave my hair squeaky clean because that usually means stripping and drying my dry-leaning hair.
This shampoo was my first experience with Carol’s Daughter, a brand I had wanted to try for a while. Doing the double wash with this particular shampoo was definitely a mistake, and I used the rich JOICO Lustre Lock to put back moisture into my hair. Fortunately, a single wash that is really all I need anyway works out fine and doesn’t strip my hair. But it is interesting that you can’t do a double wash with this shampoo.
Sounds like a brilliant shampoo, Allison! I used to buy shampoo and conditioners from different brands and range but these days I stick to similar ones because I get sent PR stuff a lot. Frankly I don’t see myself buying haircare any time soon because I have a lot to go through. LOL!
Shireen, that’s why this is the first shampoo I’ve bought in 3 years. I still have more PR haircare to use up, but I needed a change, lol!
I don’t put much in my hair so I rarely do a second shampoo. I did do one today since I’d gone through some medical procedures and I didn’t feel clean. Luckily it didn’t strip my hair. I’m like you and the poo and dish don’t have to match but when I get PR I almost always use them together.
Same with me, Marcia. I still have some PR haircare products to finish up, but I was in the mood to buy something new!
I’ve never tried Carol’s Daughter because they tend to specialize in hair with the opposite problems mine has. I know people love it and the scents sound amazing!
This shampoo has a light coconut scent. I figured that my thick, coarse hair would work with Carol’s Daughter, and so far, so good
I recently picked up the new love beauty and planet shampoo and conditioner, and really enjoy it. Lots of suds! The color treated one smells like roses.
Wow, thanks for telling me, Julie! CVS had a very small selection of Carol’s Daughter, but I will remember Love Beauty and Planet because I’d love to try shampoo that smells like roses!
My hair stylist always tells me to wait 5 days after coloring my hair before washing it, but it gets so gross since I have oily roots! What do you do when you wait to wash? Dry shampoo? A ballerina bun?
My colorist said the same thing so I’ve started to wash my hair every 4-5 days all the time except in the summer if I sweat a lot after jogging or swimming. My hair doesn’t get oily, so I’m OK with waiting.
This sounds like a great shampoo! I am a big fan of suds as well.
