Last night at the GODIVA store in midtown Manhattan, Carol’s Daughter hosted a small group of bloggers & editors to celebrate the launch of their new line of products called Chocolat. A Smoothing Collection of products that claim to rebuild hair structure and smooth each hair strand from within, Carol’s Daughter founder Lisa Price believes it’s one of their most innovative and effective product lines to date. In fact, she even had her bouncy curls straightened for the event!
The genius behind the Chocolat Smoothing Collection is that for those who want to blow-dry or straighten their naturally curly hair (or any hairtype for that matter!), the three-step collection of Smoothing Shampoo, Conditioner & Blow Dry Cream tackles frizzy and unmanageable hair by way of natural ingredients like Keravis; a hyperactive plant protein that helps fill in lifted hair cuticles, and Cacao plant extract, which helps smooth the hair cuticle.

Their spokeslady, Latina Magazine-ranked #1 hairstylist Bibby Garcia (pictured above), was on hand to show the transformation of her hair. She went from a huge curly head of hair to sleek, smooth strands with only a blow-dryer, no flat iron, using the Chocolat Smoothing collection.

While there I ran into quite a few of my blogger buddies. Eileen of MissWhoeverYouAre (far left) actually used the Chocolat products to get her silky straight hair, and she only had to blow-dry, no flat iron!
Also ran into the lovely Angel of Concrete Loop! Any aspiring bloggers that haven’t checked out her book Angel’s Laws of Blogging, you absolutely should. It’s a must-read.

Overall I had a blast at the event. Carol’s Daughter Chocolat Smoothing Collection is on sale now and I’ll be giving them a try very shortly and posting about them. It’s coming up on my one year natural hair anniversary, and I’ll be straightening my strands in celebration so look out for a post on that soon!
I would really like to but I haven’t heard any reviews from any naturals yet.
