Shea Moisture Keeps Surprising Me

 At first I didn't like it, then I thought it was OK, then I started to dislike it when It dried my hair out....now, we're friends again. 

I mean look at the definition in these curls. This, by the way, was done on hair that hasn't been washed or de-tangled in days! 

 Product used: Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie

 I clipped the front of it up and let a few curls hand loose. 

The other 'Shea Moisture' product that I have is the African Black Soap Deep Cleansing Shampoo.

I don't really like this shampoo, but I found out that a lot of other curlies love it.
My little sister's hair seems to like it too. I will use this Shampoo the next time I wash my hair, so we'll see if things change.

Candy-Scented Hair!

My hair styled with SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie

My hair smells so delicious!!! And what has it smelling so yummy? My SheaMoisture products.

When I got home from taking my last final on Wednesday the 22nd, I thoroughly washed my hair (for the first time in weeks!) with the Deep Cleansing Shampoo[sulfate-free] for dry, itchy hair (because I have scalp issues...yea, it sucks). I'll do a separate review on the shampoo if anyone's interested.

I didn't however have time to deep condition (as usual), but I shampooed, conditioned and de-tangled with suave naturals conditioner and I styled with SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie.


SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie Versus the Suave Professionals Conditioner??

I was soo excited to try these products (they were not gifts from the company or anything) when I got them!
BUT, I was disappointed!

I was shocked that a product that has such moisturizing ingredients, left my hair feeling so mediocre!
I actually compared the curl smoothie to my other product, Suave Professionals Almond and Shea Butter conditioner...And I liked the Suave better!

The Suave Professionals left my hair softer and with less frizz than the SheaMoisture. I'm not sure if that was because of the olive oil that I added, but even with that, I was still upset that a $3 product worked so much better than a $10 product.
I had pictures for the Suave twist-out, but they didn't upload. I'll do a separate post on this as well though.
Pictures of SheaMoisture results:

Pros:
1. My hair was a bit shiny and bouncy (although I got about the same shine and bounce with Suave)

2. It smells great!

Cons:

1. Not moisturizing enough/ a bit drying to my hair

2. Not enough frizz control (I got more frizz control with suave)

Although I love this product for it's smell, I will not re-purchase because it doesn't moisturize enough.
