Shea Moisture Organic Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie Review



De-ionized water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea butter)*, Macadamia Ternifolia seed oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) seed butter*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) oil, Vegetable Glyerine, Panthenol Vitamin B-5, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) oil*, Aloe Barbadensis leaf extract, silk protein, Melia Azadirachta (Neem) seed oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (carrot) seed oil, Caprylyl glycol, Sorbitol Esters, essential oil blend, Lonicera Caprifolium (honeysuckle) flower and Lonicera Japonica (Japanese honeysuckle) flower extract and Tocopherol (Vitamin E).


The Cons of this Product:

It does not have Directions on how to use the product. Ok how am I supposed to use a product if it doesnt have directions am i supposed to grope around in the dark.

It doesnt say use on wet hair, it doesnt say use on dry hair, it doesnt say small amount or large amount.

It does not say anywhere on the Ingredient Listing that it contains Hibiscus in any form, its not even on the side with the coconut, the silk protein or the neem oil, very interesting to me i find.


Pros:

I do like the fact that this product is Fair Traded and Sustainable, I have to give the company kudos for that.

Usage:

I tried this on my dry hair thinking ok its going to add moisture oh boy was i wrong, this thing made my hair so hard i actually heard my hair when i touched it, first FAIL. The second time i used it i had to layer on so many products under it, because it hold like Brown Gel from back in the days hard, hard and More HARD, I had to layer products under it and suprisingly it came out well and my hair was moisturized and the style held up for some days.

I dont really see the point using a product if you have to add so many thing just to make it usable, that doesnt really make any kind of sense at all.

Consistency:

It reminds me of mashed potatoes that havent been mashed well, meaning chunks of potatoes were still left in it to give it some texture, and its really thick it reminds me of Shea Butter before oils and other stuff has been added to it.

Smell:

lolololol it reminds me of weeds lol, like we say in my country old bush lol.


Conclusion:

I give this a B in my ratings, a B because i can still use it in the place of Gel and get the same hold.
Will i buy this product again probably not, I really dont see the point of it, when i can get the same results from my own shea butter mix.

I hope you guys enjoy my blog post more post to come very soonnnnn ttylllll.

  2. HAHA! I love how you write how you feel, as opposed to trying to appease the masses!!

    I've never used this product. It's never been on my list of things to try either.

    Great review! :)
