As my product reviews have become more in depth, I've grown accustomed to reviewing a single product at a time. I find it's easier to be thorough this way.

I purchased a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Lavender Coconut Hair Creme around last July, but I guess it got lost in the abyss that is my bathroom cabinet. I ended up giving it to at some point, and then it really wasn't a concern of mine. I'm not sure what reminded me of it, but here I am with a very late review.
