Product Review: Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie


Everyone raves about how moisturizing the product is and how much they love it. My experience was totally different. The first time I used it, I applied it to towel dried hair and let it sit....... big mistake. The curls in the front of her hair were defined. In the middle and back there was very little definition. It was very difficult to smooth out sections. The product felt a little sticky in her hair. I was not pleased at all and thought maybe I used too much.

On the second attempt, I realized I just don't like it. I blowdried her hair and used a small amount on each section. Granted it does provide moisture but not as much as my softee coconut oil. In order to give give the best review possible, I used this product alone without any other product in my daughter's hair. After letting the product set overnight in twists, I have to admit that her hair was not soft. Her twists weren't defined and by the end of the day her hair looked more like a blowout than a twist out. If your curl pattern is more defined, you will probably like this product. If your hair is dry, you will need and additional moisturizer. I haven't completely given up on this product. Since my curl pattern is more defined I will be trying it on my hair.

Walgreen for Natural Products

Did you know Walgreens sells Shea Moisture Products? They also sell JASON Natural and ABBA. I live in a.......... "white" area and their stores don't generally carry a large variety of products made for kinky/curly hair. I was so excited when I saw the Shea Moisture line tucked away in the small ethnic hair section most stores have. I have heard good things about the Shea Moisture products and I will be doing a review soon.


I mentioned JASON Naturals shampoo in my favorite products post before realizing how hard to find this product is. I stumbled upon this shampoo looking through my mother's multitude of products. I only used it because it was the only natural shampoo in the house. I'm glad that Walgreens carries it and I will be purchasing a brand new bottle to review. I also mentioned ABBA in the fav products post. They have raised their prices now that they have new packaging. Since ebay is cheaper, I will continue to purchase on ebay until they run out.


They also have a few products from the Dr. Bronner's Magic soap line. My favorite soap, the peppermint soap is available at Walgreens in either a huge bottle or a small bar soap. If you want to be squeaky clean, this is your soap. I have used the liquid version and it is a little intense on sensitive areas but it is a great deep cleaning body soap. I do not use this soap on my hair although I am not opposed to adding it to my shampoo. I might try that some day.
