So if you keep up with the blog you've read my review of the Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Mask, and can fully understand that it broke my hesart because I wanted so much to love it. It took a lot of nerve calming, planning, and waiting until wash day to fit the next Shea Moisture product into my regimen- Coconut and Hibiscus Curling Souffle. I courted this product for a whole week before wash day. Putting a little here, a little there, some on my twist, the edges, the ends of my hair.
So after I washed and completed my condition routine, I put a quarter sized amount of the souffle onto my hands and applied it to the right side of my head. I then repeated this on the left side of my head. I could see that the curl pattern of my hair was more defined. I liked the way it looked, however I didn't like the way it felt. The initial feel of it way oily, and slick. Having read the ingredient list,I know that the product contains oils, but it felt different in a gel. It didn't however take long for me to get over the feel, and appreciate the oil. Because I am not the wearer of wash and gos, gel isn't my area of expertise but if I used gel often to style I would use this one.
After the application of the souffle, I applied a leave-in conditioner (Cream of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary)for dehydrated hair, which I will review later, and twisted and sealed with whipped shea butter(nothing added). My twists dried fast, and didn't feel abnormally oily, or greasy. The shea butter didn't leave them with a shine or sheen but it did seal them properly.
Overall I can see this product being a part of my regimen from time to time and even on a regular basis depending on the styles that I wear. I am looking forward to using this product alone on hair and seeing the results. I am also looking forward to comparing it to regular home made flax gel, and my loved EcoStyler Gel with Olive Oil.
