I was introduced to this brand earlier this year & I have really been enjoying trying out their haircare. Incase you’re not familiar with SheaMoisture their story started back in 1912 in Sierra Leone,
Sofi Tucker started selling Shea Nuts at the village market in Bonthe, Sierra Leone in 1912. By age 19, the widowed mother of four was selling Shea Butter, African Black Soap and her homemade hair and skin preparations all over the countryside. Sofi Tucker was the Grandmother and SheaMoisture is her legacy. With this purchase you help empower disadvantaged women to realize a brighter, healthier future.
Their ranges have won quite a few awards over the years, including an Allure Readers Choice Award 2015 and its now available in Boots stores.
I have tried the Superfruit Complex range and thought it was wonderful at taming frizz and adding shine to my locks. So how did I get on with the Raw Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner?
Both products are organic and are free of sulphates, parabens, paraffin, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, phthalates, propylene glycol, synthetic colour.
SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo*
This shampoo wasn’t the best at giving my hair a glossy finish (I found the superfruit range was better for shine) but that said it was incredible at making my hair feel soft and deeply moisturised. As with most sulphate free shampoos it doesn’t lather up too much but it does feel lightweight and is easy to rinse out. This shampoo contains some great natural ingredients,
- Sea Kelp – Mineral rich nutrition seals and smoothes hair cuticles
- Argan Oil – Restores shine while helping promote hair elasticity
- Shea Butter – Deeply moisturises while conditioning hair and scalp
Its unusual to see shea butter in haircare but I guess its so hydrating and great for repairing skin, so why not use it on our hair for the same results. If you use heat on your hair or have naturally corse, dry hair you will see and feel a big difference in how soft and healthy your hair feels after using this range. I liked that the product adds a little volume and bounce to my hair without it feeling weighed down or greasy.
SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner
This is a leave in or rinse out conditioner and I have not been brave enough to leave it in because my hair goes greasy so quickly I daren’t do it. So I always wash this out and it works very well like that for me, if you’re pushed for time leave this in for up to 3 minutes but if you are able leave it in for 15 minutes for a really deep treatment.
- Sea Kelp – Mineral rich nutrition seals and smoothes hair cuticles
- Argan Oil – Restores shine while helping promote hair elasticity
- Shea Butter – Deeply moisturises while conditioning hair and scalp
This is quite lightweight and I like to massage it in to my scalp and then comb it through wet hair from root to tip. This conditioner revives dry, damaged, frizzy hair. It gives a boost of hydration and leaves it feeling smooth, soft and detangled. I have to say I am impressed with this brand and its nice to see organic, natural haircare thats affordable and effective.
I highly recommend checking out SheaMoisture they have quite a wide selection of haircare products now available in larger Boots store & online at www.boots.com
