Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie Review

I picked up Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie last year on a trip to New York but didn’t get round to trying it until a few weeks ago.

Shea Moisture is a very popular line for curly-haired women.

The company was founded by Richelieu Dennis twenty-five years ago inspired by the recipes created by his grandmother.

Shea Moisture products are all-natural and don’t contain parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, DEA, petrolatum, formaldehyde, or propylene.

The company also manufactures argan oil & raw shea butter, Jamaican black castor oil, manuka honey, and mafura oil, red palm and cocoa butter, manuka honey and yogurt as well as sacha inchi oil collection.

Some of the ingredients I loved in the Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie include:-

Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie was formulated to define curls, reduce frizz, restore moisture, and make hair soft and silky. Does it do that?

How to Use Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie

There are several different ways ladies use this product but below are the two methods I tried, which I liked:-

Wash and Go with Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie

After shampooing and deep conditioning, I worked Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie through my hair in sections.
I finished off with my homemade hibiscus hair gel and sealed it with my hair oil mix.
I wore it as a wash and go for the day and in a high bun for several days afterward.

On application, my hair absorbed the product but I was concerned it would leave behind white spots.

Those concerns were eliminated as my hair dried. The outcome was soft and bouncy hair with reasonably defined curls.

Culformers Set with Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie

After shampooing and conditioning, I applied a water-based leave-in conditioner followed by Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie.
I let the set air dry then sealed lightly with grapeseed oil after taking out the Curlformers. I then finger-combed it.

My hair was shiny and soft and remained so for a few days before my next wash. I liked both of the methods used above and will alternate between the two.

Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie will also work best on wet hair. I tried it on a patch of dry hair initially and it just sat there doing nothing.
