Hair washing with yucca powder? Yes! My curly hair loves it. I love the thought of never having to purchase shampoo again.

Updated review

The estimated shipping rate and the actual rate was way off. Estimated around $14.00 actual was closer to $23.00. Bad first experience using on line ordering.

Called back on Monday and had to get a supervisor to approve cancelling the order and re input it with proper shipping charges. Then had to call back to get another code for 15% off. Both times had to request a supervisors approval when told initially the phone rep couldn't do anything to resolve this.

A funny story
December 11, 2022

Easy shopping and check out.

Fast shipping. Lousy postal service.

I live in Central Texas near Austin. The package left Iowa and made it to Dallas in a few hours. Then it traveled to Austin. From Austin it went to Orlando Florida! A couple of days later it made it back to Dallas, that night it traveled to Austin again, then came to my post office for final delivery.

So my product went to Disney
World and I didn't even get a lousy t-shirt.

Great product!

So glad I switched
December 9, 2022

I had been having issues with one of my suppliers and decided to look around to find a another. I came across MB Herb Co during a search and decided to give them a try. Best decision! I placed an order and it was at my door in days. The product was of really good quality and I'm very happy with my switch. Thanks, Herb Co, for helping my small business flourish with your reasonable prices, fast service, and quality products.

A little disappointed when I had an order over 250 dollar and added the code and then it added a bunch of shipping. Not really a discount coupon to me. But the Website is awesome! Easy to maneuver. Kepp doing the great work!
