Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Shampoo Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil for Dry, Damaged Hair Sulfate-Free 13 oz

I love this product - Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Shampoo Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil for Dry, Damaged Hair Sulfate-Free 13 oz. For context, I normally have highly porous hair - my hair does not retain moisture well. My hair dries frizzy if I do not take care of it in a specific way. I have a wavy hair type. This product has been an excellent addition to my haircare routine. I first apply a pre-wash conditioner, leave it in for up to five minutes and detangle my hair with a detangling brush, and then I apply this shampoo to my hair. I have medium length hair, and I use about two squeezes of shampoo - one for the top of my head and the other for near the back of my head. I then lather the product with my hands and brush it through using my detangling brush. I do not rinse it out until the product has reached the ends of my hair. This product lathers very well. I would estimate that my bottle is a little less than halfway full - I purchased June 10th and it is July 7th as I type this. Anyways, after rinsing this product out, I apply a thin layer of conditioner to my hair as a final step. However, I have noticed that this shampoo has hydrated my hair even without applying any conditioner post-shampooing. Usually I do try to condition my hair at least a little bit, whether that is by conditioning post-shampoo, or applying leave-in conditioner after showering. I believe that it would be misleading for me to make claims about the effectiveness of any one product in isolation. However, if you are dealing with frizz, a sufficient haircare routine will contribute not only to softer hair, but also with shine. I am no professional, so I recommend doing your own research before deciding on a routine or set of products. However, this shampoo is a great start, in my opinion. The shampoo has been effective in terms of making my hair feel softer. The scent is also very decent - it is difficult for me to describe, but I definitely can smell notes of honey and perhaps shea butter. The product is a silvery/white kind of shade. My hair is color treated, and this product seems to be safe for my hair. The shampoo is not heavy when applying, and rinses out easily. I would highly recommend this product!

Love this shampoo and conditioner. My hair was getting dry and dull and this brought some life back to my hair. It smells soo good too. I have low porosity hair and was using product that contained too much protein so I had to stop and find something else to revive my hair and this is slowly helping.

Feels really good for my hair. Doesn’t leave it too dry and not too heavy either, which is essential for my straight hair. It definitely gives it some shine and the color is pretty cool. The bottle size is also pretty good for the price.

Update 2, November : giving it another star. I'm still using it. The fragrance still bothers me, though it continues to do so less. But the results are so good with this I just can't in good conscience give it a non-positive review. If I use it too many days in a row it does get harder to rinse thoroughly, but that's maybe just me (I always flip to a different shampoo every several days to avoid that tendency). It is excellent shampoo, and I will be buying it again, for sure. Update: After using it for a few weeks...well, the fragrance still kind of makes my chest tighten up, but I'm a little more....conditioned to it, so it doesn't hit like a ton of bricks. So, it's bearable. And as I mentioned below, it does leave my hair silky and manageable, so I'm good with adding a couple of stars back. ====== It's suffocating. It would smell okay if it were 'turned down' about thirty-five notches. As it is, it pervades the shower, and takes quite a while to dissipate from my hair. It's a shame, in all other respects it's good - left my hair soft and manageable. But I can only barely tolerate that odor.

Smells so good, cleaned, shines and helps with the dryness of the thickness of my 4c hair. Glad my friend recommended this to me. Got the set of the shampoo and conditioner.

Only shampoo I use now! It’s very hydrating, especially when used in conjunction with the conditioner my natural hair (3b/3c) is soft and very manageable plus my curls pop!

so oily i didnt like a texture but the smell is so good

This is a great shampoo. My hair is dry and needed moisture. Works well and doesn't leave your hair stripped. Leaves moisture. I use the conditioner also.
