I know I have been totally neglecting you all lately! : / Well, I'm trying to work on that soon but for now...
Here's the review I told you I would be doing!
Shea Moisture Organic Coconut and Hibiscus Curl and Style Conditioning Milk
Price $9.99 at Walgreens
Consistency:
Creamy, light
Scent:
Tropical- exactly the same as the Curl Enhancing Smoothie
Product Description:
Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk has coconut oil, silk protein and neem oil that adds moisture, body and shine to your curls. Keeps curly hair frizz-free, shiny and healthy.
I purchased this a few weeks ago and have already gone through an entire bottle.
This product is supposed to detangle, which I would have to say it does a fairly good job at doing. However... I had to use a lot of product for it to do anything for C's hair, even when it wasn't super tangled.
This did not help define C's curls at all. By the time her hair dried and soaked the milk up, she was a big ball of frizzy tangles!
I've found that sometimes C's hair retains moisture and stays defined better if I use lots of extra product (whatever I might be using at the time) and I put her hair up in some sort of style. So what I did was I used both the Styling Milk and the Curl Enhancing Smoothie, and I put C's hair into big box braids with some fall colored beads.
I admit, most styles do not last longer than 2 or 3 days in C's hair because it is so dry and I have to do everything extra loose because of her sensitive scalp. I was only able to leave the style in for a day this time! The Shea Moisture products did nothing for moisture, and also the braid out was a nightmare. No curl definition at all, and because her hair was so dry, it was also extremely tangled and hard to un-braid.
I would consider using this product just for detangling but I still need something else for definition and moisture... NOTHING seems to work on C's hair! :*(
Have you tried this? If so, what did you think?
