I recently discovered my porosity (I'm Lo po) and went on a hunt for this line of products, because I read great reviews on the Shea Moisture website. I prepared to wash my hair about 3 hours ago and watched this video before and became terrified. Lol.. Judging from the videos on this channel, my hair texture is almost identical to your hair (😍), so I immediately figured these products wouldn't work on my hair and was prepared to be disappointed. However, I was pleasantly surprised. My hair LOVES these products. The shampoo gave me a good cleanse and my hair felt a bit dry afterwards, but as soon as I added the conditioner it became soft and so defined. I followed up with the Shea Moisture deep treatment masque to deep condition. I then rinsed that out with warm water and applied the leave-in to damp hair. My hair is so soft, and also has a good bit of shine after styling. If you have Lo po hair try these products for yourself guys. You may be surprised! 😊
You are the perfect example of why you can't rely on someone else's opinion about a product. My hair texture is also like hers. And the low porosity conditioner worked great for my hair. Soft n defined. I walk liked the detangler/leave in.
I'm so glad you wrote this review because I just used the low po conditioner and my hair so was soft and defined when I rinsed it out. This is my new staple
Which Shea Moisture deep treatment masque did you use? I'm ogoing to be trying the Low Porosity Line soon and would like to have a DC on hand in case I think I need it.
I don't care for Shea Moisture's products. I only own two of their products to date. Great and honest review! I love your realness. It's hard to find UA-camrs who don't lie for a sponsorship nowadays!
yeah i never understood the hype around shea moisture.. none of their products really work for my hair and a lot of people i know. my friends with looser curl patterns eat that crap up tho. i figured since their ingredients are pretty solid the products would work well but ultimately i've had far better luck with other brands. i'm still going to give this low porosity shampoo and conditioner a try cuz i recently chopped off all my hair and none of my old products wok except my knot today.
I know this comment thread is old but just wanted to chime in. I never liked Shea Moisture. Glad I'm not the only one. And after their recent ad scandal, I am glad I don't buy their products.
The Shea Moisture Low Porosity Leave-in is my holy grail! I'm surprised it didn't work for you. My hair is so easy to detangle when i used the leave-in and it is fully absorbed into my hair. I LOVE this leave-in. I rave about it to every natural that I meet.
I'm disappointed that it didn't work for you, but I definitely have lo-po hair, and this line has SAVED my hair. No more breaking. It's not dry anymore. I'm transitioning and I'm no longer threatening to perm my hair because I can finally manage it.
Same for me. Maybe it doesn’t work for everyone but it does wonders for me. I stopped straightening my hair after using this product line because it worked perfectly for me.
First of all I have to say that my hair is low porosity so maybe that's why this line works so well for me. The shampoo cleaned my hair really well and did not leave it feeling dry at all. The conditioner instructions say to apply to clean "wet" hair so that's what I did. I did not touch it with a towel or t-shirt prior to application. It felt like it completely soaked into my hair and I left it on while I finished my shower which was more like 8 minutes than the three minutes the instructions say. Prior to rinsing the conditioner off I finger detangled my hair. Rinsing was easy it didn't linger in my hair like some conditioners. After completely rinsing the conditioner I applied the detangler to my wet hair. The detangler directions say to apply to damp hair. I didn't towel it but just squeezed out some if the water so it wasn't sopping wet. The detangler was a nice texture, not sticky and actually seemed more like a leave in conditioner than a detangler especially since I detangled with the conditioner and didn't feel like I needed a detangler. I palmed the detangler down the sections of my hair like I would a gel and then put more in my hands, flipped my hair forward and scrunched my curls. I air dried my hair and when it was completely dry it had a very light cast so I reached in and lightly massaged my hair at the scalp to give my curls some volume and also lightly scrunched my curls all over. My hair was vibrant and very shiny. My curls were super defined and extremely soft. I have used these products several times and each time the results have been the same. And as a bonus I have gotten four days from each wash routine which is amazing because with my other products I'm lucky to get two....maybe three days. A young gal stopped me in the grocery store the other day (I was on day three hair!) and she asked me how I get such gorgeous curls. Gotta just say that made my month!!! I don't think anyone has ever asked me that in my life. I believe I have found my go-to hair products. Love these Shea Moisture products for low porosity hair.
Thank you for your detailed description of how you use it. I have found it really makes a difference adhering to the directions on products. I try to stick to them the first couple times I try a product before veering off on my own. Devacurl was the firstr product I found that you better stick to the instructions or you may not like your results. When I got that learning curve, I realized that's what I should do with any product I use before deciding it doesn't work for me.
btw...I have since used the Low Porosity line and I LOVE IT. I have mixed porosities on my head (parts are low, others normal). It took care of my low porosity sections like nothing else ever has. So now I alternate between this line, the Red Palm Line, and others, using Deva Curl or Design Essentials No Poo or Cowash in between wash days. Because the Deva Curl and DE are kind of protein heavy products (or act like that on my hair), alternating among all these products helps keep my hair in a moisture and protein balance without overloading on either (which would cause my hair to break from mushiness or brittleness, respectively).
My experience was hella different from hers. I love this line and this is literally the best product for me by Shea moisture. I recommend it if you have low porosity hair
Yeah my guess is that a lot of people who think their hair is LoPo don't really have LoPo hair. This line is like the ONLY line that works on my extremely low porosity hair
I was told for low porosity you should encourage your hair to receive the products by using warm water first then apply products immediately....the warm water helps open your hair to accept......
I appreciate your honest review. I have tried that entire line and it's now my holy grail. My hair loves it! I've used the entire line through 4 washes now and I don't need any oils or even a gel. The leave in absorbs right into my strands, makes my hair super soft and gives me the cutest coily fro.

I don't know why, but I'm obsessed with how your spray bottle sounds!
Sorry this didn't work for you. But this worked great for my hair. My hair was feeling so dry and brittle every time I washed it, but after I used this line I noticed a huge difference.
Yes this is my favorite of all the junk I have under my sink. I love the leave-in especially. I use it and the line with the Apple cider vinegar can’t remember the name. I do appreciate her honesty tho 😂
I was thinking about trying this line...Now I'm reconsidering. Lol. I agree, that Shea Moisture and a lot of other natural hair lines are just throwing new products out there to make money, especially the big names.
Hi, I found that the conditioner was great to prep my hair for a DC, just to really attract the humuctants in whatever DC I'm using. I currently use the TGIN Honey Miracle DC, and I use the SM Low porosity leave in, as it worked well in the winter and I use it as a base hairdress and moisturizer sometimes after spritzing my hair with water.
I tried this line and I absolutely love it! I've had such trouble with getting my hair moisturized and to maintain it. This worked for me thank God! Thanks for the review.
I absolutely love this line!!! My hair has no been so soft and moisturized and it now shines (which it never has before). What I do, that the reviewer did not do, is apply the products to WET hair (preferrably in the shower), not sprayed/misted hair. Don't discount the line because someone says they don't like it as everyone's hair is different. Ex: We're both low po and she likes benzonite clay and it makes my hair tangled and brick-hard. Try the line and see for yourself as there are other reviewers on YT that like it as I do.
So far I've only tried the conditioner from the Low Porosity line and I LOVE IT. I swear the conditioner had the most slip in any product I've ever used. I shampooed with the Raw Shea Butter shampoo which I think works well for low po hair since it doesn't strip it to the point of drying it out.
i have low porosity hair and these products work amazing, especially the conditioner (used it as a rinse out and deep conditioner) and leave in I get the best wash and go when I use them with my eco styler
Rinse out the shampoo with very warm water then apply the conditioner on damp hair. Try keeping the conditioner in your hair for 15 minutes under a plastic cap(you can add heat for deeper penetration). I don't like the constituency of the detangler, but then I put it on wet hair. It worked to detangle my hair leaving it AMAZINGLY soft, hope that helps.
Agreed! I love the rinse out conditioner and deep conditioner. I use Kinky Curly come clean then follow up with the rinse out conditioner from the Low Porosity line, then I use TGIN Honey + Miracle Deep Conditioner followed with the SM low porosity leave in. Works great for about 6 months now.
I'm sorry it didn't work for you I hate wasting an entire wash day on disappointing products or feeling like I have to wash again the next day! smh I would def take them back! I like the minty smell but I don't think I'll try this line. I wanted to try the Sacha Inchi line but I DO NOT like the smell of that line AT ALL! So that's like 2 strikes on the new Shea Moisture stuff for me. Thanks for being honest.
Lol yup, I took one sniff and yanked my head back, eyes started watering, throat closed up (jk it wasn't that bad) but I did almost throw it down in the store and run away! haha My mom said she liked the smell, like that fresh linen, clean cotton detergent smell, but I couldn't imagine what it would be like in the shower! Whew! Just way too strong and potent for me...
Kamili Newsome haha. Try the super fruit gel. The slip is CRAZY. I love it. Just make sure you use a good leave in underneath, because the glycerin in it will cause shrinkage if you don't.
Some of holy grail products are from Shea moisture's original line but the quality of the newer products makes me feel differently about the company. I feel like they sold out.
+ZeeReeGee . No I disagree. It's all about money. It's not about race. From the jump their product would have worked on any race's hair. It's just that selling to blacks was easier; and a vital part of their successful financial platform, why would they change that? yeah, what you see now is them just greedier. I've seen this with many products that have gone big. We sell them originals, JBCO, and Manuka Honey line since they have the best reviews. Sometimes I swear they throw in a new oil, and create a new line.
My hair actually loved this product especially the leave in. I have had natural hair for 6 years. What I have learned is that you have to try it yourself. Nobody has the exact type of hair so it’s best to try it for yourself. Don’t get me wrong all the natural hair you tubers give great advice, but each one of have different hair. That was my big lesson on this hair journey.
How are yall going by what she said didn't work for HER hair?? just cause it didn't work for her, doesn't mean it won't work for yall. everyone's hair is different. And if your hair type is the same as hers, that still doesn't mean it won't work.
My hair is low porosity and I use the shea moisture moisture retention! These products work best for my hair than any other product! My hair doesn't get dry at allll...& I have dryyyyyy hair
I just stick to my old faithfuls from shea moisture: the JBCO line, Raw Shea butter and the Manuka honey lines. I need to definitely stock up before they change up the formulas. I am sorry that line sucked :C .
I know this video is old but I just came across it and I notice a lot of people are saying they aren’t gonna try this because it didn’t work out so great for her. What works for one may not work for all and vice versa. Y’all...I couldn’t figure out why my hair was feeling like straw and wouldn’t get mosturized for nothing. I realized I was low porosity but I also understood that because I am, I have a ton of build up. I like t find the low porosity shampoo but thank goodness I couldn’t because it forced me to get the sacha inchi oil rescue & repair shampoo. It strips the hair but restores moisture back in. My hair was SQUEAKY clean to the point the squeak sounds scared me. I used the low porosity conditioner afterwards but I used a plastic cap and sat under a dryer for 15 minutes. Washed it out with hot water and my hair was soft. I followed up with the low porosity leave-in and put organic cold pressed coconut oil on top. When I tell you the next morning I almost cried. I couldn’t keep my hands out my hair. It was like I had someone else’s hair on my head. It was so silky soft and I’m 4C by the way. Every other day for the first week I spritzed warm water & applied the leave in and coconut oil though I could have gone without. The second week I skipped moisturizing days & still soft & moisturized. Maybe you all who didn’t like it need to mix it up. You don’t have to use the whole line together just because it’s a coheisive line. You have to find the combo that works for what your hair needs. Remember low porosity needs warmth to open the cuticles. Warm water, heated conditioning sessions, strip the build up but make sure what you’re stripping with also restores moisture at the same time. Heavy creams & oils are t necessarily a great thing for low porosity hair. Think about it; the heavier it is the harder/longer it’ll take so sink i to the hair shaft. Your cuticle may be closed up faster than it takes the product to really get it and then you just have product sitting on instead of in the hair. Find your magic methods ladies!
As im looking at your hair sis, it doesn't look thin it looks beautiful and thick. This line is really for thin type low porosity hair. I knew from 2 minutes of this video this was not going to work for you. Your extremely beautiful and im going to keep watching you sis, hope you find your holy grail.
+Elizabeth Lizzy i agree!! they are doing wayy to much. i stick with what I know works for me from them. i don't have money to waste on 80 new product lines!!
I loved this line! It worked very well with clarifying my hair and keeping it moisturized all week long! I initially tried the Manuka Honey & Mafura line, but it was just a little too weighed down on my hair for me but the low porosity line was the perfect amount of light weight product that I needed.
I have it. I bought because I thought I was "low porosity".... but I found out I am BOTH "low porosity" & "high porosity" because I have different hair types on different areas of my head. BUT... I LOVE THE LEAVE-IN!!!! THE TRICK IS TO PUT THE LEAVE-IN IN UOUR HAIR "BEFORE" YOU TOWEL (or t-shirt) DRY YOUR HAIR!!! I PUT IT IN WHILE STILL IN THE SHOWER WHILE MY HAIR IS STILL DRIPPING WET. AND I GET REALLY GOOD SLIP AND DETANGLING!!!
4c hair and I recently have tried the leave in detangler and then the Miss jesse's coily custard and I am amazed. For the first time today I woke up with hydrated hair and didn't need to put any additional product in it.... woah. This never happens. Not only this but my hair is shiny! My hair for the 5+ years that I have been natural has lacked luster. I am very impressed. I love it. I have not yet tried the shampoo or the conditioner but as soon as I finish my shea conditioner I will be buying the rest of the low porosity line.
I actually loved the leave-in. It has quickly become my favorite leave-in lol But I'm super glad I saw your review on the shampoo and conditioner. I haven't tried them yet, so now I think I'll save my money lol
I was wondering why the low porosity only had 3 product. I have high porosity hair and I purchased the mask and I am in love!..I repurchased it and leave a little as an leave in. the high porosity is very moisturizing.
I'm wondering that also but since us low porosity ladies cannot handle a lot of product maybe the initial point is to clean, condition and moisturize. Maybe down the line we can use other products.
I have low porosity hair and was excited to try this line. It worked like a charm. I love it. I recently switched my routine up by doing my deep conditioner first and that cut down my detangling session by many hours. I'm not sure if this routine included a deep conditioner though.
I have waist length hair and I was really excited to try these products because of all the awesome reviews. I got the curling smoothie and another one and I could tell as soon as I put them into my hair that something wasn't right. My hair was so dry,knotted and my curls had shrunk all the way up to my shoulders I was so upset. My hair felt like it had a dry film over it and I took it back to sally's after trying it one more time. Thanks for the honest review, your hair is gorgeous.
Yeah, I heard a lot of low porosity people did not like the shea moisture low porosity line. However, for some reason the high porosity line works better.... Idk I feel like shea moisture should have added a deep conditioner to this line... but yeah not buying... Please do a review on the manuka honey deep conditioner by shea moisture!!! I'm low porosity and I love the dc so much, I think you'll like it too!
I like the manuka honey deep hair mask. But I hate the conditioner and shampoo from the line. Granted I never use just the plain conditioner, I always mix oils, and vegetable glycerin with mine.
I actually used the leave in detangler in the raw shea butter line and I hated it at first, my hair felt very greasy and it just sat on top of my hair and did not penetrate it at all. Then I decided to try it again and I applied it while my hair was soaking wet in the shower and I had so much slip and it penetrated my hair so much better. I heard the low porosity leave in conditioner is very similar so I would suggest to maybe try it while you are in the shower after rinsing your hair with warm water. The hair cuticle is open more from the steam in the shower. A lot of their products are a hit or miss for me. I hope this was helpful! :)
I have 3b & 3c very course thick/dense soft hair and non of "Shea Moisture"products work for me, they just sat on top of my hair, in fact the deep conditioner with the sea kelp made my scalp so itchy that I returned the entire line and had to buy something to rewash my hair to get it off my scalp. I haven't repurchased it since.
Thank you for this review! I have low porosity hair. But I felt like this product wouldn't make sense because while cleaning it would strip the moisture and not replace it. You confirmed that for me. Great review.
I'm going to stick with my Cantu natural line .. most of the products just sit on my hair it's either wwaaayyy to thick or it lacks something .. Shea moisture is NOT cheap and I don't get free money I get up and go to work everyday and to have it spent CARELESSLY... well you know what I mean.. anyway.. over a year ago the enhancing smoothie was the rave I bought that carp and my hair almost walked off my head.. no thank you no more Shea moisture purchases for me.. thank you for sharing queen.. I really wanted this to work though.. eeehhhh...
Exactly! I was saying this to myself when I got the notification. Tomorrow they will have the new shea moisture product featuring green grass, clay and acorns! Read the back of the label, the same shit!
+Alexandria Janay JBCO is a good line. The Manuka honey is awesome you should try it. And the 10 in 1 mask is great as well. I can't wait to try the high porosity mask tonight. I just think you have to switch it up once in awhile.
I just tried these products and loved them. Perhaps it was reformulated since this video was posted? My hair has never been so easily managed in the shower. Also, I didn't have to use tons of product like I usually do. after the shampoo and conditioner, i used the detangler, brushed through again (I brush in the shower while rinsing out conditioner) and put it in twists. my hair is air drying and it is so soft to the touch. I may even be able to blow it out after it's dry, which never ever worked in the past with other lines, shae moisture, or otherwise.
I tried the conditioner in this line because I needed a protein free product. I have high porosity and low porosity hair. the smell of the product was odd but it made my scalp tingle and felt wonderful when I massage the product into my scalp which I really wasn't going to do until it started to tingle. It absorbed into my hair strands beautifully but I have mostly fine high porosity hair. the section that is low porosity also like this product. I have not tried the shampoo or leave in. I may try to leave in eventually.
i love this line. I buy it regularly. I have always had severe dandruff, so I find myself using the low porosity shampoo with Jason medicated anti-dandruff shampoo. i always use the conditioner as a deep conditioner while in the shower and i find that leaving it in longer helps it to soften and loosen the hair. The leave in detangler reminds me a lot of kinky-curly's Knot today which works great for me, but I find I have to have my hair really wet for it to work because it works best when used to help seal in moisture thats already there. I dont use it entirely alone though because I agree that an oil or a good creme should be used for low porosity hair too. If you use a lot and your hair is wet, it feels like the tangles just melt away, but thats just my experience. I use a Crave naturals detangling brush because detangling solely with my fingers is always hell lol
everyones hair is different everything isnt going to work 100 percent of the time so I would have to try it myself but maybe the high porosity line might be the thing for you because akushikaGoneNatural channel hair is low porosity but the shea moisture high potosity line worked great for her maybe you should do a tutorial on the high porosity line
this is interesting. I mentioned in another comment that in lo po and when taking the test on their website they told me I was high po. maybe Shea moisture got them mixed up?
Either hey have it mixed up or everyone else does. Their test is not accurate at all! As soon as i clicked that i have dye in my hair it automatically puts me under high. I even tried using fake answers but as long as your your hair is dyed, your high, which is nonsense. My hair behaves like " porosity hair" with or without dye. it hasn't changed
Ive learned to work with shea moistures products and I actually love this line.. At first i was like wtf when it came to that leave in detangler because i felt like i was putting dam grease on my hair because its very oily. But then i realized ( like alot of naturals) I was putting on way too much product.. With alot of shea moisture lines a light touch goes along way with the moisturizers and i noticed if I used too much it dried my hair out. I think alot of us naturals use waaaay too much product on our wash n gos then we are mad when our hair comes out looking and feeling crazy because we think the more product we slather on our strands the more moisture but sometimes too much can have a reverse affect.. I see alot of youtubers doing reviews and they put half a bottle of leave in for one wash n go then they be feeling like its the product but its sometimes there methods too much oil and products is a no no for my hair.. I dont appreciate the whole shea moisture commercial bullshit but one thing i can say is they use really good ingredients and it works for my hair.. Alot of these natural hair companies have good products that work for alot of peoples hair and they call it organic and natural then you read the ingredients and find stuff if their you cant even pronounce.. For example Mielle Organics she makes really good products but i aint feelin some of those ingredients in her stuff because my scalp is sensitive to unatural preservatives but thats just me too eaches own if you have a product that works for you wether its all natural or not then stick with it.. Shea moisture gets my coin because I feel safe using there products and they work for my hair.. But everyones hair and techniques are different so what works for someone else might not work for you.. And just because she might have not liked the product doesnt mean you cant try it and bring it back if you dont like it.. Alot of people need to learn to try different things instead of following behinde someone else just because it didnt work for them because you miss out on alot being a follower. Its good to get opinions on different products but you gotta try it for yourself before you knock it.. You cant just look at someones hair and think because it looks identical to yours that you guys have the same hair.. We all have different genetics and everyones hair is unique like a fingerprint no two people have the same hair I dont care how identical it looks on the outside.. Unless your twins or something.
You said you like to apply your products damp, but when I applied the Conditioner with my hair wet (right after rinsing it out), it made my hair soft and detangled and I felt the tingle. I noticed a similar result when using the leave in detangler with my hair wet....I didn't need as much as you did because my hair was wet. I think the key to this product line is that your hair is wet, with the cuticles open so it can penetrate the hair. I am no expert, just sharing my experience and I didn't use the shampoo, I use Shea Moisture's African Black shampoo. Maybe try again but with wet hair and not damp hair?
Wow! I am so happy you went ahead and shared this video. Yours is the first review I've seen on this line, and I'm not exactly shocked by your experience, or that you mention others were not impressed with the results of using this line either.
I just tried the ORS curls unleashed shampoo and my hair felt so soft, smooth and moisturised afterwards. Maybe one to try ladies. It also smells delicious!
THANK U I was sooo about to buy this line bc I am a huge Shea Moisture product junkie and FINALLY SOMEONE on youtube w/ the same hair texture/type/ porosity .New Subscriber here
I use the leave in detangler in this line and I love it! It is a god-send for detangling my super thick tightly coiled high shrink 4C hair after braids and twists. I've used it to take down 3 month old braids without tears or breakage. I do think it was too thick.
Shea moisture has saved my hair! I was thinking of trying the low porosity hair line because I did the test and my hair didn't sink to the bottom of the cup of water. Now a little skeptical, thanks for the review!
Nothing by Shea moisture has worked for my hair... I have 4b/4c hair ... My hair always feels matted and dry ... As far as them putting out many lines for money? YES!!! They need to focus more on improving their formulas versus producing new lines that clearly don't work. 😑
I just tried it for the first time yesterday. All three you used in this video. Personally I like what the shampoo and conditioner does for cleansing my hair especially being low porosity. As far as the leave in detangler, I would not buy it again. My hair felt dry as well. I had to keep putting conditioner in. When I put it in my hair my curls weren't as defined as they usually are when I use the AS I AM products 😩🙌🏽 my favorite line so far! I don't like my hair to look too full, the Shea Moisture Low Porosity line made my hair really soft but too big for my liking. I ended up putting my hair in a pineapple to go to work the next day. Not my best wash and go product
I think Shea Moisture didn't consider porosity along with the density of the hair. My hair is on the thinner side and it's low porosity; I loved every single product from the low porosity line. I use the clarifying shampoo every 2 weeks and I co-wash with the conditioner every week. I apply the leave-in to my hair directly after rinsing and comb through with fingers or a wide tooth comb and then I wrap in a microfiber towel or a t-shirt to dry. When it air dries, I don't need anything else in my hair. I refresh my wash and go with Carol's Daughter Sacred Tiare spray and I deep condition weekly with Shea Moisture strength grow and restore mask.
your hair will be waist length in no time! waiting for my hair to even drop. -_- haha but i'll get there soon. good luck girl. subscribing i wanna journey with you!!
Interesting... I bought the high porosity line by mistake. My hair is low porosity. I kept using the line anyway and to my surprise, my hair actually likes it. I was worried about damaging my hair but so far my curls are soft and popping! My hair also loves the coconut and hibiscus line.
JourneyTo WaistLength I wonder that for you too🤔 and I really wanna know because it seems we have the same texture! but I can't figure out my porosity level for the life of me! I thought it might be high porosity because my hair will be so shiny and moisturized but if I don't seal properly it'll look dry and dull the next day even with my silk scarf. Then I thought low porosity b/c some products will not penetrate and bend my hair to will(like edge control) and my hair won't flat iron silky, weighted straight; it looks more like a fluffy one pass with the iron( I've only flat ironed 3 times in the past year)
I took the rest on their website just for fun. you answer some questions about your hair and it's supposed to tell you if you're low or high porosity. I am definitely low porosity but the test came out high po. I was like "huh?"
Thanks for the review. I was excited to try this because it's low protein, but now I'm not so sure. Shea Moisture is so hit or miss. Did you find it on the ground in Toronto or did you order online?
We have similar hair. I'm only familiar with the detangler in this range, but I find it works wonders on soaking wet hair. I detangle at this stage and re-wet in shower if needed. I get great results. I also apply a small amount once I finish detangling then squeeze out excess water and product. Sometimes I add a gel (Eco styler olive oil, sometimes I don't). Once dried my hair is left super soft and moisturised.
Could you do a video using the new diagnostic thing from Shea Moisture on amillionwaystoshea.com? Maybe buy the products the app recommends and then use them in a video.
TRY the HIGH POROSITY line. I thought that the mask sucked until it sat on my hair for 10 to 20 minutes. #satisfied 😌 I have high porosity however I believe the opposite would work for everyone.
Omg Shea Moisture hair and skin products, hands down, are the best products on the market!! My hair was falling out and extremely dull using drug store products but after using Shea Moisture my hair stopped falling out and regained it's shine and my hair looks so much more healthier!
JourneyTo WaistLength yes that's true but I'm a little skeptical about buying anymore of SheaMoisture products I'm dealing with protein overload so now I'm searching for protein free products.
Thanks for your review Shanique.. I've notice that ppl with thinner hair strands like this line more than those if use with thicker hair... I appreciate your honest opinion
I just tried it. My 3c/3b hair LOVES it. I loved the tingle. It's STILL tingling. I'll be sticking with this full line along with a different brand cowash and styler since these weren't included.
Great Review! I I actually had a great experience from this line. Even with having low porosity hair our still is different. I definitely agree they should’ve gave us more than 3 products from this line. I also love the smell lol like I’m obsessed with it.
I actually love the rinse out conditioner of this line; it softens my hair. The scent and tingly sensation is wonderful too! It's a bummer you didn't like this line. I haven't tried the shampoo or leave in detangler though.
I use that leave in on my daughter but I use it as a styler. It works great. her hair is very similar to yours. It really helps define her curls and prevents frizz
I used both products and it made a big impact on my low porosity hair. That conditioner is actually a deep conditioner and when used correctly (applying heat with the conditioner) enters the hair shaft and leaving hair very soft and manageable.
I've experienced the same thing with SM conditioner. For some reason they lack enough slip to properly detangle, but after you rinse it out and reapply a small amount as a leave in, it works wonderfully.
I agree, here are a few products from there lines you can try 10 n 1 renewal system mask , marufa honey line , purification mask, coconut and hibiscus line, and omega 3,6,9 mask there low porosity friendly. 😊😊😊
It could also be because you weren’t in a hot shower where the heat could open your follicle more for the product to absorb 🤷🏻♀️ just a thought. I know heat makes a big difference for product absorption with my lopo hair.
I love this line and is the best I've ever used. I knew I had low porosity hair but I actually think my hair is protein sensitive. My hair loves these products and will stay nice and soft for the whole week with no breakage.
I have low porosity, 4a hair and I was just so excited to see this new leave in. When I try it, my hair was very sticky and had no definition, also it shrunk a lot. It was very expensive for the size.
I use the Jamaican Black Oil Shampoo, Conditioner,Leave In Conditioner,Restore Treatment Masque ,Styling Lotion and Edge Gel, for styling purposes I use the Coconut and Hibiscus line the for curls Hold and Shine Mist, Soufflé, and Gel depending on what type of curls I want. Just got the Frizz Free Curl Mousse haven't used it yet. All of these products are from the Shea Moisture Line and have did me well for moisturizering and styling my hair. Haven't try those products you have tried because these have worked for me but for Jojoba oil with Shea Butter I use Dr. Miracles Hot Gro Treatment with those oils.
As with any product line, Shea Moisture offers different products for different textutrss and hair needs. I cosign the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil line. I began using it about 3 mos, because my hair was a dry, tangled mess on was day. I tried a lot of products that some you tubers swore by. They just weren't right for me. With SM Jamaican Black Castor Oil, my hair has grown tremendously thickened. It's not nearly as dry. I also use the shampoo, conditioning mask and leave in conditioner. I also tried other SM lines that weren't bad for my hair, but not nearly as good as the castor oil. So..it's not that they are false marketing. We need to research and ensure that the products are for our hair types. All black people don't have the same type or texture of hair, and SM doesn't just make products for hair types of the African diaspora either.
Exactly. I'm glad someone also ejoyed the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil the is a great line and they have products in this particular line for treating your hair. And I also use the Coconut and Hibiscus for styling.
I tried the intensive moisture line because it was on sale at my local grocery store for about $8 each product. Using Cream of Nature's ACV clarifier, then the shampoo and mask of that line, and finally the leave in from this line I got at target and wow. My hair has never felt so moisturized....its a game changer for me. Best leave in ever
I recently discovered my porosity (I'm Lo po) and went on a hunt for this line of products, because I read great reviews on the Shea Moisture website. I prepared to wash my hair about 3 hours ago and watched this video before and became terrified. Lol.. Judging from the videos on this channel, my hair texture is almost identical to your hair (😍), so I immediately figured these products wouldn't work on my hair and was prepared to be disappointed. However, I was pleasantly surprised. My hair LOVES these products. The shampoo gave me a good cleanse and my hair felt a bit dry afterwards, but as soon as I added the conditioner it became soft and so defined. I followed up with the Shea Moisture deep treatment masque to deep condition. I then rinsed that out with warm water and applied the leave-in to damp hair. My hair is so soft, and also has a good bit of shine after styling. If you have Lo po hair try these products for yourself guys. You may be surprised! 😊
You are the perfect example of why you can't rely on someone else's opinion about a product. My hair texture is also like hers. And the low porosity conditioner worked great for my hair. Soft n defined. I walk liked the detangler/leave in.
I'm so glad you wrote this review because I just used the low po conditioner and my hair so was soft and defined when I rinsed it out. This is my new staple
Which Shea Moisture deep treatment masque did you use? I'm ogoing to be trying the Low Porosity Line soon and would like to have a DC on hand in case I think I need it.
I love Shea Moisture's
Low Porosity Line. It make my type 2B/2C
hair feel so soft😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I used the leave in and my hair was soft and moisturized as well!!
I don't care for Shea Moisture's products. I only own two of their products to date. Great and honest review! I love your realness. It's hard to find UA-camrs who don't lie for a sponsorship nowadays!
+Toni Peterson omg!
Want to ask you. Are these products for Black hair. I want a product for Black hair. Thax
mr hollands opus What..
yeah i never understood the hype around shea moisture.. none of their products really work for my hair and a lot of people i know. my friends with looser curl patterns eat that crap up tho. i figured since their ingredients are pretty solid the products would work well but ultimately i've had far better luck with other brands. i'm still going to give this low porosity shampoo and conditioner a try cuz i recently chopped off all my hair and none of my old products wok except my knot today.
I know this comment thread is old but just wanted to chime in. I never liked Shea Moisture. Glad I'm not the only one. And after their recent ad scandal, I am glad I don't buy their products.
The Shea Moisture Low Porosity Leave-in is my holy grail! I'm surprised it didn't work for you. My hair is so easy to detangle when i used the leave-in and it is fully absorbed into my hair. I LOVE this leave-in. I rave about it to every natural that I meet.
does the leave in mix well with gels?
I'm disappointed that it didn't work for you, but I definitely have lo-po hair, and this line has SAVED my hair. No more breaking. It's not dry anymore. I'm transitioning and I'm no longer threatening to perm my hair because I can finally manage it.
FocusedSpender yes same for me I'm very happy with this line
Same for me. Maybe it doesn’t work for everyone but it does wonders for me. I stopped straightening my hair after using this product line because it worked perfectly for me.
Same here I love all three products. Makes my hair feel soft and barely any frizz
Do you have fine to medium hair or is your hair thick? Did you feel a difference after your first use?
Did you use the whole line ir just one product?
First of all I have to say that my hair is low porosity so maybe that's why this line works so well for me. The shampoo cleaned my hair really well and did not leave it feeling dry at all. The conditioner instructions say to apply to clean "wet" hair so that's what I did. I did not touch it with a towel or t-shirt prior to application. It felt like it completely soaked into my hair and I left it on while I finished my shower which was more like 8 minutes than the three minutes the instructions say. Prior to rinsing the conditioner off I finger detangled my hair. Rinsing was easy it didn't linger in my hair like some conditioners. After completely rinsing the conditioner I applied the detangler to my wet hair. The detangler directions say to apply to damp hair. I didn't towel it but just squeezed out some if the water so it wasn't sopping wet. The detangler was a nice texture, not sticky and actually seemed more like a leave in conditioner than a detangler especially since I detangled with the conditioner and didn't feel like I needed a detangler. I palmed the detangler down the sections of my hair like I would a gel and then put more in my hands, flipped my hair forward and scrunched my curls. I air dried my hair and when it was completely dry it had a very light cast so I reached in and lightly massaged my hair at the scalp to give my curls some volume and also lightly scrunched my curls all over. My hair was vibrant and very shiny. My curls were super defined and extremely soft. I have used these products several times and each time the results have been the same. And as a bonus I have gotten four days from each wash routine which is amazing because with my other products I'm lucky to get two....maybe three days. A young gal stopped me in the grocery store the other day (I was on day three hair!) and she asked me how I get such gorgeous curls. Gotta just say that made my month!!! I don't think anyone has ever asked me that in my life. I believe I have found my go-to hair products. Love these Shea Moisture products for low porosity hair.
Thank you for your detailed description of how you use it. I have found it really makes a difference adhering to the directions on products. I try to stick to them the first couple times I try a product before veering off on my own. Devacurl was the firstr product I found that you better stick to the instructions or you may not like your results. When I got that learning curve, I realized that's what I should do with any product I use before deciding it doesn't work for me.
btw...I have since used the Low Porosity line and I LOVE IT. I have mixed porosities on my head (parts are low, others normal). It took care of my low porosity sections like nothing else ever has. So now I alternate between this line, the Red Palm Line, and others, using Deva Curl or Design Essentials No Poo or Cowash in between wash days. Because the Deva Curl and DE are kind of protein heavy products (or act like that on my hair), alternating among all these products helps keep my hair in a moisture and protein balance without overloading on either (which would cause my hair to break from mushiness or brittleness, respectively).
My experience was hella different from hers. I love this line and this is literally the best product for me by Shea moisture. I recommend it if you have low porosity hair
Yeah my guess is that a lot of people who think their hair is LoPo don't really have LoPo hair. This line is like the ONLY line that works on my extremely low porosity hair
Too bad for me.....I live in Jamaica and can’t get it anywhere!!!! 😭😭😭😪 soo frustrating
Bought it today and trying it, so hoping for the best
I was told for low porosity you should encourage your hair to receive the products by using warm water first then apply products immediately....the warm water helps open your hair to accept......
Exactly the whole time I was screaming wet your hair 😫 warm your hair
I appreciate your honest review. I have tried that entire line and it's now my holy grail. My hair loves it! I've used the entire line through 4 washes now and I don't need any oils or even a gel. The leave in absorbs right into my strands, makes my hair super soft and gives me the cutest coily fro.
I don't know why, but I'm obsessed with how your spray bottle sounds!
If it gives u tingles, or soothes u, watch ASMR videos, you'll love it!!
omg yes!!
Yessss!
+Courtney Élana Lol I'm the same way, spraying sounds, cutting paper, typing, different stuff like that gives me tingles
Ty Miller I really like how zippers sound, too. Gosh, I sound so weird.
I love your honesty bc some YT swear by every product they use/try
exactly
Sorry this didn't work for you. But this worked great for my hair. My hair was feeling so dry and brittle every time I washed it, but after I used this line I noticed a huge difference.
Adrianna Reid me to girl!
Yes this is my favorite of all the junk I have under my sink. I love the leave-in especially. I use it and the line with the Apple cider vinegar can’t remember the name. I do appreciate her honesty tho 😂
I loved them to. Too bad they are always out of stock. Don't know if they are discontinued!
I was thinking about trying this line...Now I'm reconsidering. Lol. I agree, that Shea Moisture and a lot of other natural hair lines are just throwing new products out there to make money, especially the big names.
+sib lmao!
Hi, I found that the conditioner was great to prep my hair for a DC, just to really attract the humuctants in whatever DC I'm using. I currently use the TGIN Honey Miracle DC, and I use the SM Low porosity leave in, as it worked well in the winter and I use it as a base hairdress and moisturizer sometimes after spritzing my hair with water.
LOL!!!! And someone will buy it too LOL!
+sib, LMAO!!! Good one.
Can you explain low porosity to me please. I am thinking it's hair that is dry and dull. I need something that softens and moisturizes.
I've tried it and I love it! Left my hair feeling like butter, literally. Soft and extremely shiny.
I tried this line and I absolutely love it! I've had such trouble with getting my hair moisturized and to maintain it. This worked for me thank God! Thanks for the review.
I absolutely love this line!!! My hair has no been so soft and moisturized and it now shines (which it never has before). What I do, that the reviewer did not do, is apply the products to WET hair (preferrably in the shower), not sprayed/misted hair. Don't discount the line because someone says they don't like it as everyone's hair is different. Ex: We're both low po and she likes benzonite clay and it makes my hair tangled and brick-hard. Try the line and see for yourself as there are other reviewers on YT that like it as I do.
I love that conditioner. It leaves my hair soft and moisturized for way longer than any other conditioner I've tried.
So far I've only tried the conditioner from the Low Porosity line and I LOVE IT. I swear the conditioner had the most slip in any product I've ever used. I shampooed with the Raw Shea Butter shampoo which I think works well for low po hair since it doesn't strip it to the point of drying it out.
That's crazy because I couldn't detangle with this conditioner at alll
i have low porosity hair and these products work amazing, especially the conditioner (used it as a rinse out and deep conditioner) and leave in I get the best wash and go when I use them with my eco styler
Jasmine W what hair type do you have
You were beautiful with your relaxed hair but my lord are you stunning with your natural hair ❤️
I love this hair line it's my top 5 favorite hair line. My favorite product is the shampoo because it's not stripping at all.
Rinse out the shampoo with very warm water then apply the conditioner on damp hair. Try keeping the conditioner in your hair for 15 minutes under a plastic cap(you can add heat for deeper penetration). I don't like the constituency of the detangler, but then I put it on wet hair. It worked to detangle my hair leaving it AMAZINGLY soft, hope that helps.
Agreed! I love the rinse out conditioner and deep conditioner. I use Kinky Curly come clean then follow up with the rinse out conditioner from the Low Porosity line, then I use TGIN Honey + Miracle Deep Conditioner followed with the SM low porosity leave in. Works great for about 6 months now.
I'm sorry it didn't work for you I hate wasting an entire wash day on disappointing products or feeling like I have to wash again the next day! smh I would def take them back! I like the minty smell but I don't think I'll try this line. I wanted to try the Sacha Inchi line but I DO NOT like the smell of that line AT ALL! So that's like 2 strikes on the new Shea Moisture stuff for me. Thanks for being honest.
Lol yup, I took one sniff and yanked my head back, eyes started watering, throat closed up (jk it wasn't that bad) but I did almost throw it down in the store and run away! haha My mom said she liked the smell, like that fresh linen, clean cotton detergent smell, but I couldn't imagine what it would be like in the shower! Whew! Just way too strong and potent for me...
+Kamili Newsome I love the sacha inchi line. the gel is one of my favorite gels. it plays well with other products, which I love.
Kamili Newsome haha. Try the super fruit gel. The slip is CRAZY. I love it. Just make sure you use a good leave in underneath, because the glycerin in it will cause shrinkage if you don't.
Kamili Newsome not a problem! =)
Toni Peterson Oh goodness! what happened?
I love the entire line ! I use the detangler with a little oil on top for my wash and go and my hair stays moisturized for at least 5 days !
Some of holy grail products are from Shea moisture's original line but the quality of the newer products makes me feel differently about the company. I feel like they sold out.
They sold out the minute they try to expand their line to *"others"* instead of catering to us and us only.
+ZeeReeGee . No I disagree. It's all about money. It's not about race. From the jump their product would have worked on any race's hair. It's just that selling to blacks was easier; and a vital part of their successful financial platform, why would they change that? yeah, what you see now is them just greedier. I've seen this with many products that have gone big. We sell them originals, JBCO, and Manuka Honey line since they have the best reviews. Sometimes I swear they throw in a new oil, and create a new line.
ZeeReeGee RIGHT!!!! I think so too.
Jessica DeAnna
They Manuka honey and JBCO line are still great for type 4 hair.
My hair actually loved this product especially the leave in. I have had natural hair for 6 years. What I have learned is that you have to try it yourself. Nobody has the exact type of hair so it’s best to try it for yourself. Don’t get me wrong all the natural hair you tubers give great advice, but each one of have different hair. That was my big lesson on this hair journey.
Wow! I'm glad you made this review. I definitely won't try this line. Thanks for sharing!
It's the best conditioner to me .
I know! Thanks for the video. Not trying it now.....your methods have been helping my hair so if it doesn't work for you...wont work for me
How are yall going by what she said didn't work for HER hair??
just cause it didn't work for her, doesn't mean it won't work for yall. everyone's hair is different. And if your hair type is the same as hers, that still doesn't mean it won't work.
+agendagurl haha maybe so......but I'm not taking that risk on "broke" funds
My hair is low porosity and I use the shea moisture moisture retention! These products work best for my hair than any other product! My hair doesn't get dry at allll...& I have dryyyyyy hair
I love how she’s honest and giving her actual review instead of lying
I just stick to my old faithfuls from shea moisture: the JBCO line, Raw Shea butter and the Manuka honey lines. I need to definitely stock up before they change up the formulas. I am sorry that line sucked :C .
What's JBCO?
+zuri DatLuv Jamaican black castor oil
+Ty Miller Jamaican black castor oil
+BeutifulBeholder ooh ok lol....thanks
+zuri DatLuv I think Jamaican black caster oil
I know this video is old but I just came across it and I notice a lot of people are saying they aren’t gonna try this because it didn’t work out so great for her. What works for one may not work for all and vice versa. Y’all...I couldn’t figure out why my hair was feeling like straw and wouldn’t get mosturized for nothing. I realized I was low porosity but I also understood that because I am, I have a ton of build up. I like t find the low porosity shampoo but thank goodness I couldn’t because it forced me to get the sacha inchi oil rescue & repair shampoo. It strips the hair but restores moisture back in. My hair was SQUEAKY clean to the point the squeak sounds scared me. I used the low porosity conditioner afterwards but I used a plastic cap and sat under a dryer for 15 minutes. Washed it out with hot water and my hair was soft. I followed up with the low porosity leave-in and put organic cold pressed coconut oil on top. When I tell you the next morning I almost cried. I couldn’t keep my hands out my hair. It was like I had someone else’s hair on my head. It was so silky soft and I’m 4C by the way. Every other day for the first week I spritzed warm water & applied the leave in and coconut oil though I could have gone without. The second week I skipped moisturizing days & still soft & moisturized. Maybe you all who didn’t like it need to mix it up. You don’t have to use the whole line together just because it’s a coheisive line. You have to find the combo that works for what your hair needs. Remember low porosity needs warmth to open the cuticles. Warm water, heated conditioning sessions, strip the build up but make sure what you’re stripping with also restores moisture at the same time. Heavy creams & oils are t necessarily a great thing for low porosity hair. Think about it; the heavier it is the harder/longer it’ll take so sink i to the hair shaft. Your cuticle may be closed up faster than it takes the product to really get it and then you just have product sitting on instead of in the hair. Find your magic methods ladies!
My favorite Products are:
Jamaican Black Castor Oil Line.
Tahitian Noni and Monoi Line.
African Black Soap Line.
Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil Line.
As im looking at your hair sis, it doesn't look thin it looks beautiful and thick. This line is really for thin type low porosity hair. I knew from 2 minutes of this video this was not going to work for you. Your extremely beautiful and im going to keep watching you sis, hope you find your holy grail.
shea moisture is getting overrated
AGREED and they are producing way too many lines with not enough quality.
+Elizabeth Lizzy i agree!! they are doing wayy to much. i stick with what I know works for me from them. i don't have money to waste on 80 new product lines!!
Agreed. i tried their hair mask once and i never went back. it done absolutely nothing for my hair
Exactly ! Too many lines, very overwhelming, most of their stuff is hyped up. Camille rose is the new wave y'all! Lololololol
+flo ain't gone be my wave with those prices
I loved this line! It worked very well with clarifying my hair and keeping it moisturized all week long! I initially tried the Manuka Honey & Mafura line, but it was just a little too weighed down on my hair for me but the low porosity line was the perfect amount of light weight product that I needed.
I have it. I bought because I thought I was "low porosity".... but I found out I am BOTH "low porosity" & "high porosity" because I have different hair types on different areas of my head. BUT... I LOVE THE LEAVE-IN!!!! THE TRICK IS TO PUT THE LEAVE-IN IN UOUR HAIR "BEFORE" YOU TOWEL (or t-shirt) DRY YOUR HAIR!!! I PUT IT IN WHILE STILL IN THE SHOWER WHILE MY HAIR IS STILL DRIPPING WET. AND I GET REALLY GOOD SLIP AND DETANGLING!!!
Thats good to hear. Glad you liked it
4c hair and I recently have tried the leave in detangler and then the Miss jesse's coily custard and I am amazed. For the first time today I woke up with hydrated hair and didn't need to put any additional product in it.... woah. This never happens. Not only this but my hair is shiny! My hair for the 5+ years that I have been natural has lacked luster. I am very impressed. I love it. I have not yet tried the shampoo or the conditioner but as soon as I finish my shea conditioner I will be buying the rest of the low porosity line.
I actually loved the leave-in. It has quickly become my favorite leave-in lol But I'm super glad I saw your review on the shampoo and conditioner. I haven't tried them yet, so now I think I'll save my money lol
I tried the leave in and fell in LOVE!!! My hair is very soft and deeply moisturized. It makes me want to try the conditioner.
I was wondering why the low porosity only had 3 product. I have high porosity hair and I purchased the mask and I am in love!..I repurchased it and leave a little as an leave in. the high porosity is very moisturizing.
i heard that line is works well
I'm wondering that also but since us low porosity ladies cannot handle a lot of product maybe the initial point is to clean, condition and moisturize. Maybe down the line we can use other products.
I have low porosity hair and was excited to try this line. It worked like a charm. I love it. I recently switched my routine up by doing my deep conditioner first and that cut down my detangling session by many hours. I'm not sure if this routine included a deep conditioner though.
Can you do more reviews and demos like this? So informative and it saved me from buying this line.
I have waist length hair and I was really excited to try these products because of all the awesome reviews. I got the curling smoothie and another one and I could tell as soon as I put them into my hair that something wasn't right. My hair was so dry,knotted and my curls had shrunk all the way up to my shoulders I was so upset. My hair felt like it had a dry film over it and I took it back to sally's after trying it one more time. Thanks for the honest review, your hair is gorgeous.
Yeah, I heard a lot of low porosity people did not like the shea moisture low porosity line.
However, for some reason the high porosity line works better.... Idk I feel like shea moisture should have added a deep conditioner to this line... but yeah not buying...
Please do a review on the manuka honey deep conditioner by shea moisture!!! I'm low porosity and I love the dc so much, I think you'll like it too!
Girl same! The manuka honey is the business!
I like the manuka honey deep hair mask. But I hate the conditioner and shampoo from the line. Granted I never use just the plain conditioner, I always mix oils, and vegetable glycerin with mine.
I love it.
I actually used the leave in detangler in the raw shea butter line and I hated it at first, my hair felt very greasy and it just sat on top of my hair and did not penetrate it at all. Then I decided to try it again and I applied it while my hair was soaking wet in the shower and I had so much slip and it penetrated my hair so much better. I heard the low porosity leave in conditioner is very similar so I would suggest to maybe try it while you are in the shower after rinsing your hair with warm water. The hair cuticle is open more from the steam in the shower. A lot of their products are a hit or miss for me. I hope this was helpful! :)
I have 3b & 3c very course thick/dense soft hair and non of "Shea Moisture"products work for me, they just sat on top of my hair, in fact the deep conditioner with the sea kelp made my scalp so itchy that I returned the entire line and had to buy something to rewash my hair to get it off my scalp. I haven't repurchased it since.
Thank you for this review! I have low porosity hair. But I felt like this product wouldn't make sense because while cleaning it would strip the moisture and not replace it. You confirmed that for me. Great review.
I'm going to stick with my Cantu natural line .. most of the products just sit on my hair it's either wwaaayyy to thick or it lacks something .. Shea moisture is NOT cheap and I don't get free money I get up and go to work everyday and to have it spent CARELESSLY... well you know what I mean.. anyway.. over a year ago the enhancing smoothie was the rave I bought that carp and my hair almost walked off my head.. no thank you no more Shea moisture purchases for me.. thank you for sharing queen.. I really wanted this to work though.. eeehhhh...
Just bought it last week. I struggle with a flaky scalp and all of my flakes disappeared. I love it.
Oh my gosh my sister & I said the same thing about Shea Moisture pushing out all these lines! Like they literally kept dropping them back to back 🙃
Exactly! I was saying this to myself when I got the notification. Tomorrow they will have the new shea moisture product featuring green grass, clay and acorns! Read the back of the label, the same shit!
+Alexandria Janay JBCO is a good line. The Manuka honey is awesome you should try it. And the 10 in 1 mask is great as well. I can't wait to try the high porosity mask tonight. I just think you have to switch it up once in awhile.
+GlamNP LOL
I just tried these products and loved them. Perhaps it was reformulated since this video was posted? My hair has never been so easily managed in the shower. Also, I didn't have to use tons of product like I usually do. after the shampoo and conditioner, i used the detangler, brushed through again (I brush in the shower while rinsing out conditioner) and put it in twists. my hair is air drying and it is so soft to the touch. I may even be able to blow it out after it's dry, which never ever worked in the past with other lines, shae moisture, or otherwise.
I tried the conditioner in this line because I needed a protein free product. I have high porosity and low porosity hair. the smell of the product was odd but it made my scalp tingle and felt wonderful when I massage the product into my scalp which I really wasn't going to do until it started to tingle. It absorbed into my hair strands beautifully but I have mostly fine high porosity hair. the section that is low porosity also like this product. I have not tried the shampoo or leave in. I may try to leave in eventually.
i love this line. I buy it regularly. I have always had severe dandruff, so I find myself using the low porosity shampoo with Jason medicated anti-dandruff shampoo. i always use the conditioner as a deep conditioner while in the shower and i find that leaving it in longer helps it to soften and loosen the hair. The leave in detangler reminds me a lot of kinky-curly's Knot today which works great for me, but I find I have to have my hair really wet for it to work because it works best when used to help seal in moisture thats already there. I dont use it entirely alone though because I agree that an oil or a good creme should be used for low porosity hair too. If you use a lot and your hair is wet, it feels like the tangles just melt away, but thats just my experience. I use a Crave naturals detangling brush because detangling solely with my fingers is always hell lol
everyones hair is different everything isnt going to work 100 percent of the time so I would have to try it myself but maybe the high porosity line might be the thing for you because akushikaGoneNatural channel hair is low porosity but the shea moisture high potosity line worked great for her maybe you should do a tutorial on the high porosity line
Yea i saw her video.. i may try out the mask
this is interesting. I mentioned in another comment that in lo po and when taking the test on their website they told me I was high po. maybe Shea moisture got them mixed up?
Yeah, so did Naturalchica!
+clariola Same thing here!
Either hey have it mixed up or everyone else does. Their test is not accurate at all! As soon as i clicked that i have dye in my hair it automatically puts me under high. I even tried using fake answers but as long as your your hair is dyed, your high, which is nonsense. My hair behaves like " porosity hair" with or without dye. it hasn't changed
Ive learned to work with shea moistures products and I actually love this line.. At first i was like wtf when it came to that leave in detangler because i felt like i was putting dam grease on my hair because its very oily. But then i realized ( like alot of naturals) I was putting on way too much product.. With alot of shea moisture lines a light touch goes along way with the moisturizers and i noticed if I used too much it dried my hair out. I think alot of us naturals use waaaay too much product on our wash n gos then we are mad when our hair comes out looking and feeling crazy because we think the more product we slather on our strands the more moisture but sometimes too much can have a reverse affect.. I see alot of youtubers doing reviews and they put half a bottle of leave in for one wash n go then they be feeling like its the product but its sometimes there methods too much oil and products is a no no for my hair.. I dont appreciate the whole shea moisture commercial bullshit but one thing i can say is they use really good ingredients and it works for my hair.. Alot of these natural hair companies have good products that work for alot of peoples hair and they call it organic and natural then you read the ingredients and find stuff if their you cant even pronounce.. For example Mielle Organics she makes really good products but i aint feelin some of those ingredients in her stuff because my scalp is sensitive to unatural preservatives but thats just me too eaches own if you have a product that works for you wether its all natural or not then stick with it.. Shea moisture gets my coin because I feel safe using there products and they work for my hair.. But everyones hair and techniques are different so what works for someone else might not work for you.. And just because she might have not liked the product doesnt mean you cant try it and bring it back if you dont like it.. Alot of people need to learn to try different things instead of following behinde someone else just because it didnt work for them because you miss out on alot being a follower. Its good to get opinions on different products but you gotta try it for yourself before you knock it.. You cant just look at someones hair and think because it looks identical to yours that you guys have the same hair.. We all have different genetics and everyones hair is unique like a fingerprint no two people have the same hair I dont care how identical it looks on the outside.. Unless your twins or something.
You saved me some money I'm glad u made this review.
You said you like to apply your products damp, but when I applied the Conditioner with my hair wet (right after rinsing it out), it made my hair soft and detangled and I felt the tingle. I noticed a similar result when using the leave in detangler with my hair wet....I didn't need as much as you did because my hair was wet. I think the key to this product line is that your hair is wet, with the cuticles open so it can penetrate the hair. I am no expert, just sharing my experience and I didn't use the shampoo, I use Shea Moisture's African Black shampoo. Maybe try again but with wet hair and not damp hair?
Thabks for the suggestions
Did you use heat for your conditioner I hear that's a must for low porosity hair?
That's what keeps lo pro hair to thrive. Keep doing that
Thank you for taking one for the team! I kept looking for it and couldn't find it and now...I"m good!
I love their line. Its actually really good. Its the only product that works well with my hair :)
Wow! I am so happy you went ahead and shared this video. Yours is the first review I've seen on this line, and I'm not exactly shocked by your experience, or that you mention others were not impressed with the results of using this line either.
This my experience with ALL the shea moisture products
same here
Me too. NONE of their products work for me. Waste of money.
I just tried the ORS curls unleashed shampoo and my hair felt so soft, smooth and moisturised afterwards. Maybe one to try ladies. It also smells delicious!
+munchkette I might try that ORS shampoo cuz every shea moisture product makes my hair feel bad lol.
THANK U I was sooo about to buy this line bc I am a huge Shea Moisture product junkie and FINALLY SOMEONE on youtube w/ the same hair texture/type/ porosity .New Subscriber here
Yea I can't with Shea Moisture. Their products are overrated for me. Just my thoughts.
I know right
I had to stop using them last year.
I use the leave in detangler in this line and I love it! It is a god-send for detangling my super thick tightly coiled high shrink 4C hair after braids and twists. I've used it to take down 3 month old braids without tears or breakage. I do think it was too thick.
I love your hair in this 😍💜
Shea moisture has saved my hair! I was thinking of trying the low porosity hair line because I did the test and my hair didn't sink to the bottom of the cup of water. Now a little skeptical, thanks for the review!
Nothing by Shea moisture has worked for my hair... I have 4b/4c hair ... My hair always feels matted and dry ... As far as them putting out many lines for money? YES!!! They need to focus more on improving their formulas versus producing new lines that clearly don't work. 😑
I just tried it for the first time yesterday. All three you used in this video. Personally I like what the shampoo and conditioner does for cleansing my hair especially being low porosity. As far as the leave in detangler, I would not buy it again. My hair felt dry as well. I had to keep putting conditioner in. When I put it in my hair my curls weren't as defined as they usually are when I use the AS I AM products 😩🙌🏽 my favorite line so far! I don't like my hair to look too full, the Shea Moisture Low Porosity line made my hair really soft but too big for my liking. I ended up putting my hair in a pineapple to go to work the next day. Not my best wash and go product
Your hair seem so thick I think you were being nice about how much you put on ? I could be wrong just saying what it looks like
* didn't mean to put "so" thick
+Paja Lester or maybe your hair would need high porosity ?
Awesome detailed review. Shea Moisture does the same in my hair. It just sits on top and leaves a white cast. Thanks for the review. 😊
leaves my hair soft and manageable. don't care for the smell
I think Shea Moisture didn't consider porosity along with the density of the hair. My hair is on the thinner side and it's low porosity; I loved every single product from the low porosity line. I use the clarifying shampoo every 2 weeks and I co-wash with the conditioner every week. I apply the leave-in to my hair directly after rinsing and comb through with fingers or a wide tooth comb and then I wrap in a microfiber towel or a t-shirt to dry. When it air dries, I don't need anything else in my hair. I refresh my wash and go with Carol's Daughter Sacred Tiare spray and I deep condition weekly with Shea Moisture strength grow and restore mask.
your hair will be waist length in no time! waiting for my hair to even drop. -_- haha but i'll get there soon. good luck girl. subscribing i wanna journey with you!!
I think she's already waist length or close to it. Her hair stretched is pretty long.
About 6 inches away
This is the best review I've ever seen. ! So honest. I love it.
And honestly I was cracking up watching you destroy this line
I heard that the lines work in reverse as if it was mislabeled.
yes i heard that too
Interesting... I bought the high porosity line by mistake. My hair is low porosity. I kept using the line anyway and to my surprise, my hair actually likes it. I was worried about damaging my hair but so far my curls are soft and popping! My hair also loves the coconut and hibiscus line.
8chocolatecandy Interesting🤔 could it just be that you have a different porosity than you thought?
JourneyTo WaistLength I wonder that for you too🤔 and I really wanna know because it seems we have the same texture! but I can't figure out my porosity level for the life of me! I thought it might be high porosity because my hair will be so shiny and moisturized but if I don't seal properly it'll look dry and dull the next day even with my silk scarf. Then I thought low porosity b/c some products will not penetrate and bend my hair to will(like edge control) and my hair won't flat iron silky, weighted straight; it looks more like a fluffy one pass with the iron( I've only flat ironed 3 times in the past year)
JourneyTo WaistLength However my hair loved the coconut and hibiscus line
so happy u made a review on this line... ur my hair twin,😊 and I've been debating for months whether to buy it or not.... THANK YOU LOTS🤗🤗🤗
The company obviously don't know much about low porosity hair.
Yeah I was thinking that too... doesn't seem like enough research was done.
My thoughts exactly.. but then again every lo po girl is different
I took the rest on their website just for fun. you answer some questions about your hair and it's supposed to tell you if you're low or high porosity. I am definitely low porosity but the test came out high po. I was like "huh?"
I beg to differ. This line turned by desert dry fro around.
Thanks for the review. I was excited to try this because it's low protein, but now I'm not so sure. Shea Moisture is so hit or miss. Did you find it on the ground in Toronto or did you order online?
I love Hair Rules...Shea moisture is wayyyyy overrated
Keep moisturising, mam it a !
Agreed!!! It did not moisturize my hair what so ever...
Omg where do you find it in store???
We have similar hair. I'm only familiar with the detangler in this range, but I find it works wonders on soaking wet hair. I detangle at this stage and re-wet in shower if needed. I get great results. I also apply a small amount once I finish detangling then squeeze out excess water and product. Sometimes I add a gel (Eco styler olive oil, sometimes I don't). Once dried my hair is left super soft and moisturised.
Could you do a video using the new diagnostic thing from Shea Moisture on amillionwaystoshea.com? Maybe buy the products the app recommends and then use them in a video.
That's a good one!
TRY the HIGH POROSITY line. I thought that the mask sucked until it sat on my hair for 10 to 20 minutes. #satisfied 😌 I have high porosity however I believe the opposite would work for everyone.
This line reminds me of the raw sheabutter line. blegh. don't like it at all.
OMG OMG you’re the only person I’ve found that has my hair type 😭😭 thank you!! I’m so damn happy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have not seen a positive review on this line.
I loooovvvveeee it!!!! The entire low porosity line are staples for me now.
Omg Shea Moisture hair and skin products, hands down, are the best products on the market!! My hair was falling out and extremely dull using drug store products but after using Shea Moisture my hair stopped falling out and regained it's shine and my hair looks so much more healthier!
I'm so glad i didn't buy this product thanks for sharing!!!
No problem! you never know, it may work for you
JourneyTo WaistLength yes that's true but I'm a little skeptical about buying anymore of SheaMoisture products I'm dealing with protein overload so now I'm searching for protein free products.
Jackie Williams oh ok i hear you!
Thanks for your review Shanique.. I've notice that ppl with thinner hair strands like this line more than those if use with thicker hair... I appreciate your honest opinion
I just tried it. My 3c/3b hair LOVES it. I loved the tingle. It's STILL tingling. I'll be sticking with this full line along with a different brand cowash and styler since these weren't included.
Great Review! I I actually had a great experience from this line. Even with having low porosity hair our still is different. I definitely agree they should’ve gave us more than 3 products from this line. I also love the smell lol like I’m obsessed with it.
Termia Calhoun me too!
I actually love the rinse out conditioner of this line; it softens my hair. The scent and tingly sensation is wonderful too! It's a bummer you didn't like this line. I haven't tried the shampoo or leave in detangler though.
I've never like Shea Moisture products personally. Really appreciate your honesty.
I use that leave in on my daughter but I use it as a styler. It works great. her hair is very similar to yours. It really helps define her curls and prevents frizz
+Shari Williams glad you like it
I used both products and it made a big impact on my low porosity hair. That conditioner is actually a deep conditioner and when used correctly (applying heat with the conditioner) enters the hair shaft and leaving hair very soft and manageable.
I've experienced the same thing with SM conditioner. For some reason they lack enough slip to properly detangle, but after you rinse it out and reapply a small amount as a leave in, it works wonderfully.
Thank you for the honest review.. These are so rare on UA-cam nowadays. ❤️
I agree, here are a few products from there lines you can try 10 n 1 renewal system mask , marufa honey line , purification mask, coconut and hibiscus line, and omega 3,6,9 mask there low porosity friendly. 😊😊😊
dope
I like the coconut and hibiscus line
+JourneyTo WaistLength please tell me how you style your hair because I see it's been growing back good and fast
It could also be because you weren’t in a hot shower where the heat could open your follicle more for the product to absorb 🤷🏻♀️ just a thought. I know heat makes a big difference for product absorption with my lopo hair.
I love this line and is the best I've ever used. I knew I had low porosity hair but I actually think my hair is protein sensitive. My hair loves these products and will stay nice and soft for the whole week with no breakage.
Thanks for sharing!!
I have low porosity, 4a hair and I was just so excited to see this new leave in. When I try it, my hair was very sticky and had no definition, also it shrunk a lot. It was very expensive for the size.
I use the Jamaican Black Oil Shampoo, Conditioner,Leave In Conditioner,Restore Treatment Masque ,Styling Lotion and Edge Gel, for styling purposes I use the Coconut and Hibiscus line the for curls Hold and Shine Mist, Soufflé, and Gel depending on what type of curls I want. Just got the Frizz Free Curl Mousse haven't used it yet. All of these products are from the Shea Moisture Line and have did me well for moisturizering and styling my hair. Haven't try those products you have tried because these have worked for me but for Jojoba oil with Shea Butter I use Dr. Miracles Hot Gro Treatment with those oils.
i like the coconut and hibiscus line as well
Girl Yass.
As with any product line, Shea Moisture offers different products for different textutrss and hair needs. I cosign the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil line. I began using it about 3 mos, because my hair was a dry, tangled mess on was day. I tried a lot of products that some you tubers swore by. They just weren't right for me. With SM Jamaican Black Castor Oil, my hair has grown tremendously thickened. It's not nearly as dry. I also use the shampoo, conditioning mask and leave in conditioner. I also tried other SM lines that weren't bad for my hair, but not nearly as good as the castor oil. So..it's not that they are false marketing. We need to research and ensure that the products are for our hair types. All black people don't have the same type or texture of hair, and SM doesn't just make products for hair types of the African diaspora either.
Exactly. I'm glad someone also ejoyed the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil the is a great line and they have products in this particular line for treating your hair. And I also use the Coconut and Hibiscus for styling.
I'll have to try that one. TY
I tried the intensive moisture line because it was on sale at my local grocery store for about $8 each product. Using Cream of Nature's ACV clarifier, then the shampoo and mask of that line, and finally the leave in from this line I got at target and wow. My hair has never felt so moisturized....its a game changer for me. Best leave in ever
