Product Review: Shea Moisture Deep Penetrating Treatment Masque

Soooo... I finally got my mits on some shea moisture deep treatment w\ raw shea butter and argan oil. Ive been hearing alot, both good and bad, about this product so i decided to try for myself. This particular day, I actually set out to buy mizani's fulfyl because i used to use it when I was transitioning and I liked the way it conditioned my hair. But along my nh journey I've learned that silicones arent good for our hair... and fulfyl is chock full of cones, but I was desperate to get that feeling back. So yes i set out for my cone fix, but they were out of stock at the Beauty Supply I go to. After disappointedly browsing the shelves for a substitute for 15 mins I refused to buy just ANYthing and remembered seeing shea moisture in a DR in the city about a week prior. So I went across the street to see if the one by me had it.

1st off I got mine at a local Duane Reade and paid 13+ for it after tax... wont do that again when I now know its sold a little cheaper at Walmart and target. Anyway... aside from being monetarily violated, lol, I must say I was very, very pleasantly surprised. I decided to use it twice before doing my review, since I know if I love something the 1st time I use it, I'm usually pissed and disappointed come the second time around.

Yes, I did use it as a DC and it worked just fine used the way its supposed to be used. I havent used it as a leave in as of yet, I know alot of you tubers prefer to use theirs as a leave in/ moisturizer... I dont know if thats because it didnt work for them as a DC or what, but every head is different.

It contains no parabens, petroleum, mineral oil, silicone, OR... alcohol (still dont know why that's a main ingredient in most conditioners anyway).Theres NOTHING bad in it... which was the selling point for me while i stood in the aisle studying the ingredients list. Its made of certified organic raw shea butter, oils, herbs, and extracts. It does everything it says it will, and has a good slip for detangling. And unlike alot of people, I actually love the scent!!! I guess every nose is different too (smile). I thought it was gonna stink from what I heard from others, its more if a shea butter smell to it. And... i didnt have to use a whole lot of it in order to saturate my hair (section by section of course), its a thick, rich consistency... so its gonna last a good while. Me likey that aloooot.

After I DC'd I flat ironed my hair straight, that was on friday... 4 days later and I havent had to touch it up yet. Its been humid, it tried to rain and get me caught out there... but my hair stayed straight, and thats saying ALOT cuz normally I could flat iron my hair tonight and wake up lookin like a fuzz ball in various parts of my head tomorrow morning, therefore having to re-flat iron a majority of it... which is why I hate wearing my hair straight. My hair is full, fine and dry so it needs the perfect amount of moisture to keep it from being either dried out or greasy looking.

********CHEESY****** INFO-MERCIAL****** ALERT!!!*********

Shea moisture is my perfect balance, and Im ecstatic that I dont have to look any further for a DC or settle for one with ingredients Im not totally comfortable with.
