Review:
I go back and forth on this product.
I love the smell. Love it! I have another Shea Moisture body product in this scent and it’s one of my favorites so having it in my hair was divine. The consistency is thick and creamy. Loved the look of it!
The first time I tried this was during one of my rare wash n go’s. I absolutely hated the results. My hair was dull looking and not all that moisturized. Not only that, but it also took forever and a day for it to dry. The drying time rivaled KCCC minus the curl definition and sheen.
So, no, I did not find it to enhance curls at all.
Anyhoo, tried it again on my twists done on dry hair. Fabulous results! My twists looked great, smelled great, were moderately moisturized. I also used this on a damp braid out and had wonderful results.
And then…I just used it a few days ago on some chunky twists/twistout. My hair is pretty soft but not what I experienced with the braid out: very dull looking. It also took a super long time to dry.
I was trying to think of what I did differently with the braidout as opposed to the twist out and then I remembered that I sealed with some grapeseed oil when I did the braidout. Perhaps that made the difference. My hair was also soaking wet when I put the twists in which might explain why it took so long to dry.
Overall, I’m going to give this product my love. The price is not bad for the amount of product you get. I was able to use this about 4 times before I ran out (that is great for all of the hair that I have), not including the few times I used it on my baby’s hair.
She has extremely fine hair, so it only took a smidgen to give her little head some moisture. Beware if your hair is protein sensitive as this product does contain protein.
