Product Reviews : SheaMoisture JBCO Leave-In Conditioner and Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel Soufflé

I picked this leave-in conditioner up from my local Target store!

Here is a list of ingredients. Outstanding ingredients are :

Shea Butter-moisturizing and conditioning
Coconut Oil-locks in moisture
Hydroxyethylcellulose-Hydrating, water-based ingredient that thickens the product
Jojoba Seed Oil-contains lots of Vitamin E and is similar to human sebum
Castor Oil-thick oil with healing properties
Hydrolyzed Rice Protein- protein that gives hair volume
Hydrolyzed Keratin Protein-protein that constructs our hair strands 

This is the creamy, milky texture of the product. 

The scent is honestly that of playdough, but more sweet and candy-like :)

It is very creamy and is medium-thick. This is how it looks when you tilt the container forward slightly.

So now for the review!

This is just one of the many hair masks that Shea Moisture has in their hair care line of products. They also have skin care products and makeup products, which I hope to try soon:) 

After cleansing and deep conditioning my hair (with a plastic steam cap), I sectioned my hair into four parts and began applying the leave-in conditioner.

It detangled the hair and left a sweet smell in the hair. The hair feels soft, moisturized, and there is little to no frizz left. It definitely does what it says it does. When it dries, the hair feels soft. Its has all the good stuff-oils, butters, proteins,  hydrating properties (hydroxyethylcellulose, pathenol), a sweet smell and it definitely detangles and softens the hair. 

Final Effect on Hair (F.E.H): Hair feels soft, moisturized, and primed well for layering other styling  products on top of this one.

It's definitely a favorite for now :)

This gel was bought from my local Target store

Here are the ingredients, with outstanding ones being:

Agave Tequilana Extract-moisturizing agent

Sugar Cane Extract-sweet, moisturizing agent

Baobab Extract-contains vitamins A, D, E, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to nourish hair

Linseed/Flax Seed Extract-contains lots of omega-3 fatty acids

Hibiscus Sadariffa Extract-helps to treat the scalp and hair

The gel has a strong, brown sugary  smell

The textre is like hardened jello-see my fingerprints!

Onto the review :)

I layered the gel on top of the Shea Moisture JBCO Leave-In conditioner. The gel felt very sticky and tacky in the hands, due to it being mostly made of sugar and oils.. It clumps the hair together as you  style it with fingers or a comb.

F.E.H.: The hair is nicely defined and very shiney! However, the feel of the gel in the hair is tacky and sticky, and it doesn't do much for controlling the volume that curly hair tends to have. This gel may be better for sealing a twist or braided style, rather than anything else.

Toodles :)
