Product Review: Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque


Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque

Cost: $9.99 (Target/Walgreens)
Size: 12 oz
Scent: Strong
Consistency: Rich Creamy

What They Say:
Our all-natural intense treatment masque deeply penetrates to moisturize and repair over-processed, dry, brittle or damaged hair. Sea kelp trace minerals detoxify hair follicles of impurities and residue. Argan oil restores shine and rebuilds hair elasticity. Shea butter deeply moisturizes and repairs damage to hair and scalp.

What I Say:
This is a oldie but goodie and I am finally getting around to doing a review!  This was one of the first products I used when I started BG "S" healthy hair journey.  When I first began using this product, I used it as a styling product to do two-strand twists on slightly damp hair.  As a styling cream, this stuff is A-mazing, it absorbs nicely into the hair, it is unbelievably moisturizing and it makes the hair super soft.  The scent is strong, so if you are sensitive to smells this product probably won't work for you.  It wasn't until recently that I used this product as a deep conditioner.  As a deep conditioner, I wasn't exactly blown away.  I didn't notice much if any difference in the hair other than a nice sheen added to the hair after rinsing the product out.  This product is great if used as a styling creme but not so great if used as a deep conditioning treatment. I will not be using this product as a deep conditioner but as a styler.  A little goes a long way so the product last a long time!

Product Review: Shea Moisture Organic Yucca & Baobab Anti-Breakage Masque


Shea Moisture Organic Yucca & Baobab Anti-Breakage Masque
Cost: $9.99 (Target/Walgreens)
Size: 12 oz
Scent: Light Floral
Consistency: Rich Creamy

What They Say:
This all natural intense treatment masque with biotin & bamboo extract is for thin, fine hair. It penetrates to moisturize and repair over-processed, dry, brittle or damaged hair. It thickens, volumizes & softens.
Baobab oil-Contains vitamins A,C,D,E and F to fortify and strengthen hair
Yucca-Thickens hair and helps to prevent hair loss
Biotin-A powerful B vitamin that strengthens the hair follicle

What I Say: 
I enjoy this masque as a deep conditioner.  It has a nice creamy, thick texture.  I have used it on dry and wet hair and liked the results of both. It leaves the hair soft, manageable and feeling healthy & strong.  It does not provide much slip for detangling which I don't mind because I detangle prior to using.  BG "S" does not have thin or fine hair (she has thick, coarse hair) but I like this masque for her hair especially since it has both biotin and vegetable protein in it. (I typically stay away from products with protein for BG "S" but to my surprise this product doesn't make her hair hard.)  Oh and I absolutely love the smell!

Ingredients:

Deionized Water , Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) , Cocos Nucifera Oil (Coconut) , Mangifera Indica Seed Butter (Mango) , Persea Gratissima Oil (Avocado) , Olea Europaea Oil (Olive) , Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract , Ammonium Salt (Conditioner) , Yucca Filamentosa Extract , Vegetable Protein , Adansonia Digitata Extract (Baobab) , Biotin , Panthenol (Vitamin B-5) , Rosemary Extract , Bamboo Extract , Sorbitol Esters , Caprylyl Glycol , Essential Oil Blend , Lonicera Caprifolium Flower and Lonicera Japonica Flower Extract (Honeysuckle and Japanese Honeysuckle) , Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
