My
spirals and I don’t always see eye-to-eye but Shea Moisture helps tame them
into submission and reduce poof.
I’ve been using Shea Moisture for years and I used to
stock-up every time I crossed the border. Although the products have been
available at select beauty supply stores, the brand officially celebrated their
Canadian launch in March 2018. The collection is free of sulphates and crafted
with a blend of handpicked natural ingredients including:
Certified Organic Shea Butter – Helps reverse damage caused
by over-styling, chemicals and environmental assaults.
Neam Oil – Nourishes strands
and provides brilliant shine and definition to dull, lifeless curls.
Silk Protein – Strengthens and creates a frizz-free, supple
finish.
Hibiscus Extract – Supports healthy hair growth and
stimulates circulation.
Along with not containing any harmful chemicals, the Curl &
Shine Shampoo ($11.96) is color-safe and formulated with fast absorbing,
nutrient-rich Coconut Oil, Aloe and flower extract to leave curls vibrant and
bouncy. The lightweight lather eliminates product build-up, dirt, sweat and oil
without stripping or causing dryness. My hair feels clean, fresh and soft
with no brittleness or scalp irritation – perfect for maintaining thick curls.
The fast-absorbing Curl & Shine Conditioner ($11.96)
focuses on softening, detangling and reducing frizz. It glides through hair
effortlessly and coats each strand so you can comb through pesky knots
without breakage or damage. I love the tropical fragrance and how thoroughly the
lush cream quenches parched ends to enhance curl definition and silkiness
without weight. My long, thick hair seems to soak up the nutrients and it makes a great daily co-wash.
All curly girls know that you can’t style your coils without
applying product and the nourishing Milk ($13.96) helps protect and infuse moisture. This awesome leave-in smooths messy
curls and wild waves for neatness and manageability with less frizz and
flyaways. The finish is non-greasy so your spirals move and bounce with no crunchy stiffness and it seems to prevent and improve the look of split-ends and fraying cuticles.
I’ve been using the Curl Enhancing Smoothie ($13.96) off and
on since I was a teenager so it is one my favorite products in the line. This rich leave-in conditioner is more suitable for thick, luscious curls that
crave moisture and aren’t easily weighed down. I use it to twist and
twirl my curls into perfectly formed ringlets and the treatment
shields my tresses from harsh weather including wind, sun, humidity and cold. A
little goes a long way so use it sparingly to repair and fortify weak strands.
Shea Moisture is available at Walmart locations nationwide
