Sheamoisture - My honest thoughts + Recommendations

[@briannajimenez7]

I’ve experienced the same thing with their products being too heavy for my hair. One product of theirs that I’ve really liked is the low porosity protein-free leave-in detangler.

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

Oh if I find that I’m going to try it

Thank you for sharing the link to donate for farmers in Punjab! My father is from Punjab and I just sent my donation, such an important cause. Your link made it especially easy to do

This makes a lot of sense. I think I started taking better care of my hair in 2019 and I started with SheaMoisture, but now moving to more lighter products. This is super helpful!

[@kkristinn8011]

What products did you move on to if you don’t mind me asking? Help please 🙃🥰😬

[@rebeccaromine5208]

I use the marshmallow root leave in as well. It works well for my wavy/curly hair. I agree, that most of their products are unfortunately too heavy for my curl type as well. I prefer their deep conditioners more than anything in their line, but other than that I have to pass. By the way...love your makeup in this video and others. Have you ever done a makeup tutorial?

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

I have really old videos where I do my makeup but I don’t really do tutorials on this channel since they always flop

[@rebeccaromine5208]

@@SuhannaDeSilva well I love your channel and content so thank you for the uploads! ☺️

[@marisadaniela6]

I needed this! Shea moisture is WIDELY available here. However, I have had so many fails with their products, which is too bad, because the ingredient lists sound so perfect on paper. But it's almost always too heavy for me. Love their deep conditioning masque, though.

[@sipsjuice6583]

Me too, but it smells kinda bad. Does it smell like it after you apply product for you too?

[@Ignozi]

I've started using the 10 in 1 Superfruit Complex line and so far it's one of the better products I've used. The shampoo is kinda weird in that it gives off an unusual smell and it doesn't feel like it's doing much cleaning but my hair doesn't feel weighed down after so it must be working. The conditioner is by far the better of the two and leaves the hair feeling very soft and moisturized.

[@timeforme1708]

I love Shea Moisture. I have thin wavy hair and it responds to the products.

[@raghadmuslim9913]

Thank you, that was so informative. Actually I was so hesitant on purchasing sheamoisture products, I had a feeling in my gut that is going to be so heavy for my hair type. That was quite helpful. 🌹

[@perckymerckyy]

I love SM masks and the coconut shampoo and the purple rice shampoo. Don’t have as much luck with their stylers but for me their masks are king 🙌🏻 I don’t have many issues with my hair being weighed down, despite it being only a 2b wave tho.

[@MetalMouth6963]

I used shea moisture before I cut off all of my damage but now it is way too heavy 😅 My hair likes shampoo and conditioners with milk or honey

[@racheltham]

So happy you posted this video, I’ve heard so many good things about the products you talked about in this vid. I am nervous to try them out because I’ve found She Moisture products super heavy for my hair and it takes twice as long for my hair to air dry!

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

I would try the daily hydration coconut oil conditioner first since it’s the lightest weight out of all of them

[@racheltham]

@@SuhannaDeSilva Ou okay! I'll try that one out, thanks for the tip!

[@ishratjahan9305]

Is manuka honey and yogurt protein treatment good for fine and low porosity hair?

[@nicoledambacher4660]

I don't like the SM Stylers but I like the shampoos conditioners and masks :)

[@julieannalbuzbeba253]

Hello! I'm not sure if some one else already mentioned this....but I just wanted to let you know what the ingredients in my state/country say about the wax ingredients! First....I'm in Massachusetts/U.S.! On my packaging it DOES have some waxes in the ingredients. These are what it says is in the product: Cera Alba(Beeswax) and Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) wax. There may be some other kinds also but those are the ones that specifically say 'wax'. Just thought you might be interested in knowing! Thanks for the video!!

[@lilashem1986]

Also wanted to add, if it's not said enough. Love that you include causes that need help.

[@lysandrias]

I found a lot of shea moisture has protein and I've found out that my low porosity hair doesn't like it that much

[@hajorakotomalala9780]

do you have any product recommendationsonlymoisture but it starts to not work on me anymore...

[@lizzhm7684]

Beautiful, thank you so much for this video and your opinions, you have prevented me from losing a lot of hair! I used to use Shea moisture products because they left my hair soft, but I always noticed a lot of product on my scalp. Now I understand that they are not products for all hair types, other factors must be reviewed. Thanks a lot!!! (I used google translate, I speak Spanish 🌷)

[@SnowStig26]

Have you tried their Miracle Multi-benefit line (sugarcane and meadowfoam)? I use the entire line (shampoo, conditioner, leave-in treatment, and masque) and I LOVE it. I've tried several other brands and I always come back to this one. It's formulated for wavy hair and I've found it's not heavy at all. I think it's because they have stearyl and cetyl alcohol before the Shea butter in the ingredients so it cuts the heaviness of it a bit. The shampoo, conditioner, and mask also have a bit of protein in them, so they're been great to maintain my protein/moisture balance. The conditioner and leave-in have great slip, and they all smell amazing. I've never found them to make my hair greasy and I only wash twice a week, clarify and masque twice a month. For reference, I have 2a/b and a few c, fine, medium porosity, medium density waves. I know a lot of their products do tend to be too heavy for wavies, but not this line (at least for me, but I know everyone is different)!

[@museonrepeat]

i've always been curious about the SM 'fruit fusion coconut water' line w/ the red label since it's supposed to be more lightweight but it must've been discontinued or somn because I can't find it a n y w h e r e

[@fathiabalgahoom3785]

If you live in the US, you can find that line at tjmaxx and Marshall’s. SM is discontinuing the line but I’ve found some bottles at those places so maybe you will as well!

[@museonrepeat]

@@fathiabalgahoom3785 Awesome, thanks!

[@ingridrodriguez3273]

I tried the conditioner from the fruit fusion coconut water line and yes it’s good for fine or medium hair. My ends are very dry but my hair is thin so it’s hard to find a conditioner that moisturizes without weighing it down. This was perfect! Rich conditioner but not as heavy as the other Shea Moisture products

[@bethany-anne]

I didn’t wanna admit it since I’ve spent some money and just started my journey but yeah my hair seems so much heavier since using it all !

[@auroracharming5531]

I took an allergic reaction to the castor oil shampoo and conditioner, I try to stick to non fragrance products now

[@msmuffin411]

Shea Moisture was designed for black hair which is dry and needs the moisture.

[@avocado184nhs82]

i have both the manuka honey and yogurt shampoo & conditioner. the shampoo is actually quite nice, it lathers a lot, but ive stopped using it because i think it made my folliculitis worse. the conditioner is so thick i cantttt. maybe ill use the conditioner as a deep conditioner once in a while. the line smells so good though

[@dalgomswife3830]

My hair used to be so thick, but i’ve been experiencing heavy hair fall. Now, my hair is so extremely thin and i want nothing but to get it thicker. do you have any recommendations about products i can get from shea moisture that will help thicken and hydrate my hair?

[@liajustlia2250]

Trust me, I had the same problem. Oil your hair once a week, leave it in for upto 4 hours (fable and Mane, amla oil{not dabur} etc) and wash with a shampoo and use a deep conditioning mask instead of conditioner

[@CMMxLove]

Love your videos! What are your favorite products to use that have silicone in them? Thinking of incorporating silicones back into my hair routine.

[@jessicagalyon5840]

Plz BE CAREFUL W THE POWER PROTEIN!!! I used it my first wash day w CGM & damaged my hair sooo bad. It caused the worst protein overload. I was too new to know & took me a day to figure out what I had done. Soon as I rinsed my hair was like holding hay in my hands :(

[@Noonixxx]

maybe your hair didn’t need any protein?

[@marisadaniela6]

You're hair looks "pretty moisturized"?! What?! It's perfection! Like I'm debating running out and grabbing some of that Manuka honey line rn

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

Thank you! It’s a great wavy friendly line and definitely worth a try

I have naturally straight hair and I want my hair to stay completely straight as it is naturally, is it 100% safe to use this product? Or will it end up making my straight hair wavy?? Because I don't want it to make my hair wavy, I want my hair straight itself like how it is naturally. Please help :) Also which line will be the best to keep my naturally straight hair completely straight itself?

If your hair is naturally straight it’s not going to magically change unless you’re going through puberty, menopause or you manipulate it with either heat or a heatless styling method.

Shea Moisture have great products but i’m always allergic... not very allergy friendly. I always check for the ones that state they contain nuts, avoid them etc, but even the ones that don’t list anything nutty... i’m allergic! So hard to find nut free -natural- curly/wavy hair products 😂

not sus. I’ve tried the nym line and for me, the shampoo and conditioner left my hair super dry. The gel had good hold, but after I washed it out, it was almost impossible for me to detangle. But it may work for you idk

[@angelag669]

I agree that Shea Moisture is not for everyone. Personally I love it and so does my hair BUT my hair is much curlier than yours. It is really thick and high porosity. I found through trial end error that my hair loves products a little on the heavy side. I would not recommend SM for anyone who had thinner wavy hair or anyone whose hair was on the oily side.

[@haddisr5042]

Have you noticed hair loss with their products? My hair is medium thickness but low density and i'm not sure if the shea moisure JBCO and the mafura oil & manuka mask are causing me hair loss due to the ingredients being too heavy?

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

If you’re not clarifying weekly you can definitely experience hair loss/thinning from heavy products that aren’t being removed from your scalp. When your hair follicles are clogged with products new hairs can’t grow through.

[@issymarsh6316]

I had hair loss with them too!!!

[@cherubzbaby]

Why didn't this video exist before i ordered and used my first set of sheamoisture

It could still work for your hair depending on the line you ordered and your hair profile! This was more about why I personally don’t really use SM often or recommend a lot of their products.

Ok let me be honest too your hair is wavy not curly and the shampoos that you mentioned and said that are too heavy like the shea moisture hibiscus, it was not for your type of hair and the yogurt and honey and the products which you said that you loved were for you hair type so first you should see the chart

[@Kim-ok5tn]

It's designed for afro hair and thick curly hair thats why its not for your hair
