Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen/Grow and Restore Leave-In Conditioner 16 oz

I LOVE this leave-in conditioner. It leaves my hair feeling soft and moisturised. It is full of beneficial oils which promote healthy hair growth. A little of this product goes a long way; so do not use too much or you will be left with greasy hair. The product initially smells like a mixture of Play-Doh and vanilla - a bit odd, but not offensive. The Play-Doh smell fades leaving behind a sweet vanilla scent. The scent does linger in the hair; but I like it so I don't mind. I've found that this leave-in mixes well with my other styling products. It does contain protein so is great for hair that needs a little TLC. The consistency is loose; and the product should probably be packaged in a squeeze bottle rather than a tub. However, this is not a dealbreaker for me. I've purchased this product on multiple occasions and will continue to use it.

M product arrived super fast. First application was a game changer for me my daughters hair feels soft and moist which is the exact reason l bought this product for. I'm 100% satisfied.

I have very curly/frizzy hair, Type 3B. I found this product didn't really help my frizz at all, it just kept the ringlets I have in a very rigid ringlet shape. I also feel that it left my hair feeling quite heavy and greasy, so not really what I look for in a leave in conditioner - it felt more like a styling cream than a leave in conditioner. The product does smell lovely, and while it did not work on my hair, it worked really well for my boyfriend who has 4C type hair, left it feeling very soft and it looked conditioned, as opposed to dry. Overall I would give this a 4, because it worked well for him and I love the fact that it's vegan, and has all natural ingredients - unlike some leave in conditioners which contain silicone and end up crying your hair out even more. If you're looking to make your hair healthier after a lot of treatments, dyes or heat styling I definitely recommend this one - however this is definitely a leave in conditioner for curly hair! My sister who has very straight hair tried this and it definitely wasn't for her.

i LOVE shea moisture and it revives my hair everytime! i’ve used this for a year now and it looks like i’ve hardly used any, a little goes a long way. i use after every hair wash and it’s lightweight, hydrating and my holy grail

smells amazing i use all the time

I have very curly, dry, frizzy hair and as I'm getting older, I find it is getting drier and untameable. I've spent an absolute fortune over the years on anti frizz, intensive moisturisers etc with limited effect. Tbe only products that create a defined curl leave my hair crispy and sticky. This conditioner is a godsend. It has a light fragrance and is easy to apply, not leaving white residue or a sticky finish. The results aren't perfect but wouldn't expect it! Gives me a fairly well defined curl for 2-3 days after washing and leaves my hair soft without much frizz. You only need a small amount, too much does leave your roots a bit greasy but you can be pretty liberal on the ends.Definitely recommend a try and the pot lasts ages so very good value!

First time buyer, I absolutely love this stuff. Leaves hair feeling nourished and healthy, completely frizz-free and overall looking great. I apply a small amount (dip two fingers into the tub and then rub into hair) to wet hair after a bath/shower and a small amount to dry hair in the morning - a little goes a long way and I would expect a tub to last me at least 3 to 6 months. There is no hold to this product so you'll likely still need a styling product/hair spray. My only slight criticism is the smell can sometimes be not very pleasant, especially if applying to dry hair, it smells sort of like cigarette smoke, but the smell fades off fast and is not overbearing.

I have 3c/4a natural European curls and have been trying out new leave-in conditioners as over the years I've found that my hair loves these the most. This was an ok ish product, although I won't be buying it again. It wasn't really man-enough for my curls. The smell was lovely and fruity, but bought back memories of a play-doh type smell. This leave-in was extremely runny, so made it difficult to apply. I applied to damp washed hair, and once applied it made my hair feeling very wet again as it was so runny. The curl definition wasn't great for me either. I need a thick creamy leave-in that will weigh my curls down a bit. I personally thick this would be more suited to someone with big chunkier loose curls or wavy hair. It's not strong enough for pourous, dry frizzy tight Afro type curls. When my hair dried naturally and I scrunched it to style it as normal, I need to add another product on top to get the curl definition I needed. It also left my hair a little bit crunchy when it had dried and made my hair look tighter curls than norm as there was no weight to the product. The photo shows my hair with just this leave in on it, to show the light curl definition it gives. My hair was still quite fluffy with just this product in it. I don't like the look of my hair at all in the photos below. Worth a try, but it's a 'no' from me I'm afraid. A nice product but not great for very tight wild curls used on its own I'd say. I'm using it now to touch-up fly-away ends on my dry hair during the day if needed just to use it up.
