      I too tried their curl line. Just as you described it, it feels kinda gummy and icky. Too heavy for my fine-ish 2a-3a hairs! I do, however, really love their Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Hair Masque (which also has protein!), and their Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque (for moisture). I use my Hot Head for 20-30 mins and switch up as needed. Thank you for all of your videos- you've taught me more than I ever could've imagined, all in one place! 😁

      I also like to take the thick cream products (either the smoothie or curl milk) and mix it with hot water in a spray bottle and spray it into my fine hairs instead.

      curl enhancing smoothie)))) creams (for my 2b-3a they are working wonders) and I have their primer, wich has protein and it works too)
      I love their leave-ins...they are light if you not using too much))
      I tryed only one gel and I just can`t make it work now the way it did a year ago, when I first started cgm((
      I love their conditioners, deep conditioners (not every, but most) and shampoos))
      so as you can see, I try so much of that brand...and I have more in my closet...xD

      I also recently tried the SM raw shea butter restorative conditioner with sea kelp & argan oil with the coconut & hibiscus curl enhancing smoothie with silk protein and neem oil and was surprised that it felt drying but the latter did give my hair some shine but overall it felt dry and stiff. I like the thick coconut oil rehydration treatment mask as a pre wash and mixed with another conditioner on the lower portion of my coarse thick hair. I am still experimenting to find what works best for my wavy hair that holds a curl really well.

  • @chelleec23

    I had an issue with a leave-in of theirs so I emailed and asked for recommendations. Not only did they take the time to give me product recommendations for my hair type but they sent me a refund check for the one that wasn't working for me.

  • @myah4680
    @myah4680 4 ปีที่แล้ว +190

    The line that you’re using is for type three and four hair. The reason why it isn’t working on your hair is because the product is not made to work on your texture. Some lines like the Manuka honey and yoghurt line are for your hair. Try those next time and you’ll see better results. Love your videos!

      I know this is old but if something is made specifically for type 3 and 4 hair doesn’t mean it won’t work on type 2 since hair texture and porosity matter more than curl type

    I have been so mesmerized since finding your channel a few days ago--we have the same hair!--and I've lost count how many of your videos I have watched in trying to educate and inspire myself to finally treat my hair with the maintenance curly hair deserves. I have unfortunately been using Shea Moisture for over a year and I honestly thought my actual hair was simply changing and losing the curls it used to display. It wasn't until yesterday that I started exploring Curly Girl Facebook groups and they all said the same as you have in this video! Now having this review of yours, I am floored in being so convinced perhaps it wasn't me, it's the product! I'm actually excited now. I just ordered JessiCurl for the first time and hope to restore the curly waves I used to be so proud of. Thank you for your continued honesty and informative, educational tutorials--not to mention entertaining. You're simply wonderful and adorable. Thank you, thank you!

    I am a low porosity 3A with some 3B and 3C. I love the curl enhancing smoothie, but seriously less is more with this. Personally, I tried the shampoo and conditioner and experienced moisture overload. The residue just sat on top of my hair from the shampoo and conditioner alone. Since I heard most people didn’t like the soufflé, I never tried it. The curl enhancing smoothie is a 1 and done styler. Try using a dime of it to a nickel size for your entire head, by itself; it does pair well with the bounce curl light moisture clarifying shampoo and conditioner.

    Hi Courtney, Thanks for reviewing this brand. It was my first brand when I transitioned to CGM and I'm relieved to hear your experience because it was mine too...although I had no other CGM washdays to compare it to. So I kept using these products without knowing anything about STC, wet styling (rather than damp), or flash drying (which I learnt mostly from you!). I also still find the smoothie is heavy even with better technique. I didnt find the Styling Milk any better. I also found the gel clumpy, even gritty and also caused flash drying (although I didn't know that and thought it was my hair "transitioning"). Maybe mine was a bad batch too, I DID buy it from Walmart. I think that's always a risk when you buy products from non-hair care places. Anyhoo, I also wanted to connect this comment with your previous video about MyManeBio. After your review of MyManeBio, I went straight to their website because I decided the ~$90 was worth it to not have to guess-n-test with multiple bad products ever again. Thanks for sharing all your know-how!

    I'm just amazed by how you can finger brush/detangle. If I were to attempt that, my fingers wouldn't even make it through the middle of my hair.

    I know exactly what feeling you’re talking about. I use the same line and got that from the soufflé. I like the gel but because I found how to work with it, but lately I’ve liked using the mousse from the line even though you have to very very generous with the mouse. (Ik it sounds like a hard line to work with, but it’s what has worked for me hair and leaves it soft and shiny) :)

    Hi Courtney! I'm curious, will you be doing an updated hair product/routine video after getting your hair analysis? And also, is your sister going to be getting an analysis? I'd love to see a comparison between both of your results, and then maybe see how you've altered your products/routine based on what you learned. I think it's so interesting using science to curate your hair care process. Thanks for the video! I really like the Shea Moisture hair masks. That's basically all I've used from the brand, except for the Coconut detangling spray, which I think breaks me out on my face and neck if the spray gets on my skin, so I've only used it a few times. But I love the hair masks. ❤😊

    I like the shampoo, conditioner, and sometimes I like the smoothie out of this line, but I've noticed that I can't use them all at the same time. I'm using the mask and color shampoo from their purple line, and the manuka honey mask, and I like those three products way more. I hate to be that person, but try the manuka line please!
    Also during this mandatory time at home, I've been trying out different application methods instead of products. I'm just curious- have you tried going through all the "techniques" without all the products once you've washed? What do your curls look like without products?

    I have more wavy than curly hair, pretty similar to yours actually. I just started using the Manuka Honey and Yogurt line from Shea Moisture. I LOVE it. The balance of protein and moisturizing ingredients is really great for my hair type. I still love using the Coconut Hibiscus Curl Smoothie as a styling cream after washing my hair though. It was actually the first Shea Moister product I ever bought and made me fall in love with them.

  • @tanyaweaver5498
    @tanyaweaver5498 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    when you applied the gel and noticed busted curl clumps along with some decent clumps and some friz, i was like “this is what my hair looks like every time i style!!!” (except i get a LOT of wet friz that i smooth down with a brush while conditioner is in my hair, but it all comes back when i scrunch for curl definition). i also notice that my hair loses more water than i think is normal as soon as i put ANY stylers in. by this i mean that i begin my styler application process with soaking wet hair, and after just one good glaze/rope/scrunch, my hair needs more water in it before the next product. very confused by that. any tips/thoughts? i’ve been doing the cgm for about 7 months

  • @caraziegel7652
    @caraziegel7652 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This gel was my holy grail last year but they changed the recipe. If you microwave it with water it works better . . . but its not what it used to be. And yes, for whatever reason, I kinda like that producty feel lol! i also love the way this refreshes

  • @AlaraHoop
    @AlaraHoop 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have similar hair to yours and I really enjoy the smoothie but I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews about the soufflé-folks saying they’ve reformulated it in the last year or so and it’s all hard and chunky now instead of the custardy type texture of other products.

  • @QuickSilverHair
    @QuickSilverHair 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The gel is not normally that texture, it’s usually sort of gelatinous, but not formed, if that makes sense. I think it may have been drying out and maybe old product. That said the only thing I like in the hibiscus line is the Smoothie. I love it in the dry NM winter for added moisture at that time.

  • @warriorwolfette
    @warriorwolfette 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've got wavier hair and I absolutely love this line- idk maybe I kinda like the pieces it gives me. I don't have much volume like I used to and it depresses my hairs into a lot more. Maybe I'm weird idk lol.

  • @andreasmith8213
    @andreasmith8213 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had the same problem with the gel. I have found that this brand of conditioner and gel really weigh down my hair after multiple uses and sometimes after just 1. I do really like the shea moisture yukka & plantain anti-breakage strengthening shampoo (although I can't find it in walmart anymore) and I use the maui moisture shea butter conditioner.

  • @emilylerman9028
    @emilylerman9028 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    can you do a full video using the "curls" products? the brand that makes that protein leave-in conditioner with blueberry extract? I'm curious what you think about it as a whole. I'm also curious what you think about their restorative mask. It seems like a stronger version of the leave-in maybe? since your hair loves the leave-in I'm curious if it will love the mask as well.
    btw I really like you ALWAYS show your application. it's usually the same, so it isn't new information, but the repetitiveness helps me remember it.

    I haven’t tried most of the Shea moisture products because I am broke and need to use up the products I already have before trying others but I love their Jamaican black castor oil hair mask and and their raw Shea butter hair mask. The first is more protein heavy and the other is more moisture heavy ingredient wise. The Jamaican black castor oil helped repair over a year of dyeing my hair with box hair dye and that was only using it once a week for about two months, now I need to be careful because the last time I used it I experienced protein overload for the first time. But it works.
    I might eventually try some of Shea moistures other products but I really need to use the hair products that I already have before hand.
    I’ve been looking forward to this video for a while every since I started paying attention to brands and I am glad that you got to it. Thanks for your honest review on all of your one brand wash days.

    @denisemortley6113 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes! I had the same experience with the garnier fructis gel souffle and curl smoothie. It's a weird waxy, thick feeling. And by later in the day it felt worse and worse. By next day i had to wash again

  • @rachellep2581
    @rachellep2581 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Exactly it Looks so great!. However your hair didnt need all that moisture.
    I love shea moisture soooo much. My hair runs on the dry and fine side, but it does work so well with these in mind and on my tighter curl pattern.

  • @leslieargil2652
    @leslieargil2652 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    These were the first products I bought to try out CGM (minus the gel! I bought the mousse in the same line). It was ok, enough to get me excited about my curls, but I just felt that gummy feeling you were talking about. I still use the mousse for now as a finisher before I diffuse, but i ended up throwing away the curl smoothie, shaving my legs with the conditioner, and am still using the last of the shampoo for my boys lol. I really liked the Shea Moisture manuka honey and mafura oil intense hydration masque but only as a regular conditioner - if i leave it too long it feels heavy again. i do use the manuka honey and yogurt protein treatment if my hair gets too over hydrated briefly (3 min or so) after shampooing. But I started using Jessicurl and had MUCH better results, hold, curl definition, and all the things. But now it is becoming very hydrating, so now I’m trying to find that moisture/protein balance :/ But probably not going back to the Shea Moisture shampoo. I do like their marshmallow root leave in :)

  • @flaviopons142

    I'm curious but I assume it won't work...Honestly I wanted to like Shea moisture, but the two styling products I have don't even work on my coarse 3a! Meanwhile, I needed a protein and glycerin free gel and thanks to your enthusiastic reviews, I bought the Giovanni LA hold, can't wait to try it!

  • @annab3624
    @annab3624 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Courtney! Thanks so much for all of your videos - I have learned so much from you! Just a suggestion: when you do one brand washdays, it would be helpful if you pointed out some of the main ingredients in the products, so we can have a sense of why they may be working or not working for you. For example, types of protein, humectants, heavy butters, etc, etc. Thanks again for all you do!

  • @San-42
    @San-42 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That has happened to me as well. But try to mix the gel with a spoon in the jar before you use it again and don’t use too much. This gel isn’t meant for fine hair but it’s for thick hair maybe you can gift it to your sister.

    3a curly hair here, i noticed with the gel shuffle that it gets better on the 2nd -3rd day hair but only if you scrunch often throughout the day.
    But i have better results when i apply it on wet hair and scrunch only , not rake it.

    I can’t use the Curl Enhancing Smoothie..if I do, as soon as I add my gel (Biosilk Rock Hard Gelee), I get flash drying. I have hair similar to yours, but surprisingly, I get better results with the Raw Shea Butter line than with the Coconut & Hibiscus line. FWIW, your hair looks curlier and really amazing! I know you didn’t like it, but, it really does look great!

  • @brieannamadelynn5963

  • @gabrielaa0006
    @gabrielaa0006 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am just starting my curly hair journey and I bought shea moisture gel which is my first gel and it made my hair quite sticky the first time and I couldn’t break the cast but I also figured that I put a little too much.
    The next time I put a lot less and it looked nice and soft as I managed to break the cast. I have medium thickness hair( or rather loads of it) and it’s wavy/curly. I’d say it’s all about the amount and the hair thickness as my hair is not fine at all.
