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! Read more

Very good for most of all the hair types to very hydrating been using for a week now scent is good too loved it. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

After postpartum I’m using this shampoo. In my dry hair, it makes feel so soft. Highly recommended I would purchase again. Read more

Well i have thin grayish,white hair...I'm trying to give it some life again. It cleans and moisturizes well ! Plus I love the SHEA BUTTER SMELL😌 Read more

So I've been using this for a while and my fine, wavy hair loved it. However when my new bottle came in, it no longer had that floral smell. It smelled like Windex and the consistency was thinner. I'm really hoping this was just from a bad batch and the production quality hasn't gone down the hill. Regardless, I'm kinda scared to risk it so I will unfortunately be switching to a different brand. Read more

As someone who has struggled with severe dry scalp for years, this shampoo is the truth! I’ve tried several different brands that claim to moisturize my hair and scalp, but nothing seems to work. I was almost even close enough to scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist. But decided to try this one last brand before committing to seeing a specialist ($$$$). After one use my hair is completely moisturized, and my scalp feels light and breathable. 98% of my dry skin/flakes we’re gone, I know if I stay consistent with it. My hair will be on the right journey to being healthy again. Bonus: The cost super affordable! will be ordering again!! Read more
