 Trini girl natural. Hi YouTube. I wanted to come on today to talk about shea moisture So I know, you know, we've all heard about shea moisture. We probably all tried it at one point Maybe we liked it. Maybe we didn't maybe we tried it like years ago and kind of you know moved on since then there are other things that I appreciate about shea moisture one is that They're usually have good quality ingredients. I don't think I've ever seen anything like really bad from them So they have good quality ingredients reasonably priced and Some like it some don't but they have a lot of different things. So I Would say they have something for everybody or most people or at least they can keep you trying for like a year straight They have so many things when I first went natural the first natural hair product line And I try the shea moisture and I try to cook learn and I discuss so I had the shampoo Which I think I gave away I wish I had it again because at the time I was like, you know, this is drying up my hair But I was shampoos all wrong at the time. So I wish I had it again I also have the smoothie and I had the style milk and I had the conditioner. So I love the style of the conditioner even back then But you know, it does kind of get to try other things. You never get back to it I think the smoothie I liked it. I had a souffle as well and the smoothie I liked it mixed with a souffle It's been a while since I've tried it and I just wanted to get back to it I wanted I hope people who don't really like shea moisture watching too because I wanted to give you some tips You know, maybe different tweaks you can try if you're not a fan of the shea moisture I've tried other shea moisture line since then and I don't really like heavy products that tend to just sit on my hair So, you know, going water then shea butter in the ingredients like a lot of shea moisture tends to do is kind of problematic for me So I think this line for the most part goes on water and then cooking an oil So that kind of helps it penetrate. So it penetrates better for me than some of the other shea moisture stuff So let me just get into the review The first thing I have in this line, like I said, I gave away the shampoo So the first thing I still have is this coconut hibiscus cleansing co-wash so what I like about this is that it's Light, it's penetrating. It's moisturizing and cleansing. It doesn't strip your hair at all The ingredients of everything are pretty similar like water, coconut oil and shea butter, mango butter, olive oil You know it has some grapeseed oil and some nice extracts like hibiscus and milo bark and so on aloe vera juice, rosemary and you know most importantly it does have some kaolin clay in here So that's why I bought it because it has a clay. As you know I don't buy co-washers if it doesn't have a surfactant or clay. It does a good job of cleansing It used to really be fine my curls at one point But now I just put it on my roots and even then like I use this much of it So it's not really feasible for me if I have to pretty much use the whole bottle in one go At least if I can get like three uses out of it So I'm even without putting it on my ends and throughout my hair I use practically the whole bottle from unstealing it to this so I do like it I would use it again But I don't know if I would push it again just because of how much I need to use but it is a nice light creamy texture Let me show you the texture. I think my most of the stuff in this line has such a nice like silky smooth Creamy texture. I really like that about it So this line like I said kind of chase well So if you have a problem with things sitting on your hair like you might want to try this This particular shade moisture line because just I think penetrates well If you don't have a problem with cooking the dough like that is because everything else The shampoo and I have tried it. I didn't find it that moisturizing but now that I've diluted my shampoos and stuff like that I probably couldn't use it. So here's my friend. She asked to let me it back Anyway, the next thing that I have is the curl and style milk So I really like this. I think they all have a similar scent I don't even know how to describe the scent and I'm not gonna send but you know, it's a slightly sweet but Kind of floral. I'll try this rice. We probably all know how it smells Some people may not like it. I can't see being a little strong, but it's not very very sure that I can use it It's not my favorite scent, but I can use it and This does a really good job in terms of like moisturizing my hair and actually reducing frizz and so on I'm defining my curls. It does a really good job at that It doesn't clump my hair a whole lot, but it does define my curls somewhat and reduce frizz and it's very softening and moisturizing So I like that Like I said, they all have similar ingredients But this in addition to some of the stuff I mentioned before you know the shape of the coconut oil This also has some sugar-starch silk protein and neem oil and Swabadal and algae astra. I see like sage and Horsetail, carrot, honeysuckle So the ingredients in Chimoise especially the old lines like the old lines. I think really had some great ingredients. I think now they're kind of Including like cheaper ingredients and the good stuff is more like in the older stuff. So yeah, this this line has some good stuff So like the other one like the co-wash It's very smooth and silky like a lot of slip and very moisturizing like I probably still have co-wash on my hands But it really penetrates well And it really has a lot of slip like my fingers are just you know So I really love using this for that like it has a really nice silky feel and has a lot of slip and it's very Moisturizing on my hair. I use this pretty much as a leave-in. I don't use it as a styler I use it as a leave-in. It pretty much feels like a leave-in So I use it as a leave-in. I also use this next one This curl and shine conditioner. I also use this sometimes as a leave-in. So You know the main thing I like about this line is that it's glycerin free So whenever I'm traveling, this is the line I go with because I know it's not going to be unpredictable Whether the plane is dry, whether the I'm going to the Caribbean. It's really humid, you know Whether it's really cold like I could just pack this and I'll have to work some to say Okay, let's pack a shade moisture rather than try to figure out. Okay. What am I gonna deal with in terms of weather? So this I also like as a leave-in, and I also like it as a cream So I use it as a leave-in sometimes and as a cream sometimes It's very moisturizing and it actually really defines your curls really well, and it's not heavy. I don't use these as rinse I don't use any I don't pay big money for in cell conditioners I mean if I do I'm gonna use it as a leave-in because I'm gonna pay big money to rinse it all out in like five minutes So yeah, but the texture of this is really similar to the texture of the style milk Again, you know, it's like really light really creamy lots of slip and really just works in well So it's again a great option for a leave-in. There is a little bit heavier than the style milk So I would use this style milk if I have to like, you know, just give my hair a little moisture mid-week or something Like, you know touch of the point here or something like that like on dry hair I would use this style milk and right here definitely use either style milk or the conditioner Depending on if I want a little moisture or a lot and sometimes I use both like use the style milk and then use the conditioner Now everybody has heard of The smoothie So this movie is like the one exception to that glycerin thing I mentioned because the smoothie does have glycerin So I don't necessarily travel with it But I did enjoy this when I just went natural. I kind of you know, I did like washing clothes with it it is No, the souffle I had a souffle as well which I finished the souffle Was a little tricky because if you use too much it gets like sticky and stuff like that But the souffle work really well if you like mix the smoothie and the souffle in your hands and use it So I kind of use down the souffle like that and I still have some of this left. So it's pretty heavy It's a pretty thick cream so it doesn't quite spread as As much or as well as the others you can see it's just kind of you know I mean it does penetrate but you kind of have to work it in and doesn't spread as easily as the others So I guess slip or spread ability is really big for my hair. Since my hair is kind of wiry The strands like I said, I don't like to share Trying to use something with a lot of slip or something easy to spread so I can work it through my hair Otherwise, it's just gonna err and just kind of stay wherever I put it like even if I put it really high up so This I'm probably gonna finish off or use up in the spring So, I mean I do have a lot left because like I said, it takes me a long time to use like butters and creams and stuff But I'm gonna put a big effort to finish it up this year So maybe I'll just do some like washing goals with just this or something like that to To finish it up. The other one that I kind of I like to misline was the hole in shininess So it's finished now, but it really never did me wrong. It has a light moisturizing spray. It does add moisture and shine I'm I didn't notice any hole, but it does add moisture and shine and I did enjoy using this And like I said, the ingredients I guess are pretty similar to what went before if you like this line Try this if you don't like this line try this because it is penetrating I didn't have any issues with build up or it's sitting on my hair and stuff like that So as long as you like cooking an oil try it. I Also have this frizz-free mousse. This one I haven't tried yet. I'm gonna try it this year I have cocoa protein really high up which really concerns me So that's a surfactant, you know, it's something you should find in shampoos So I guess probably they have it so that it's gonna form and stuff like that But I'm just wondering if it's gonna be drying to my hair. It also has polycosm which I no longer use But since I have this I'm gonna finish it up. So Yeah, I'm gonna try in the summer when you know Conditions a little bit easier for your hair So I like that the line is pretty consistent in terms of ingredients each product will have it's a one or two things different But it's pretty consistent. I guess maybe if you like one you might like the other just because the ingredients are similar I think I pretty much have everything from that line. I don't know like if I'm missing something let me know So and this is just tough, but I've had over the years like I still get these two like these two are pretty much in my Staple status So whenever she was just a sailor stuff, you know, I don't use them that often I use them mostly when I travel and I would be traveling maybe two or three times a year and You know, I use them mostly when I travel for a long time So I'm doing a travel series soon, but if I'm just traveling for a week, I try to just keep my hair But I was still carrying maybe one just for emergency stash. So yeah check out my travel video coming up soon for Like beat some like, you know, how I pack and what I use when I travel Okay, I'm sorry. Um, yeah This washable. I use the coconut and hibiscus line. So I use the I co-wash with the Cook not hibiscus co-wash, and then I use the style milk as my leaving and then Yeah, and I use this time because my leaving I put some of the Conditioner over it the kind of as a moisturizer And then I put my flaxseed gel. So, you know, I am going to show you a demo of how I used everything and Just how my hair looked with everything. So that's coming up I've entangled my hair prior to starting this. So this is me co-washing the last section This is the texture of the co-wash. It's really rich and creamy I just wish it spread a little bit more because my hair just kind of sucks this up so I just focus on the roots and Go all the way around applying the product and then I just um, you know scrub my scalp to cleanse it Then I immediately rinsed it out. Although I did let the other section sit for a while So you can let it sit for a while as well, and I rinsed everywhere So this is me just kind of having some fun Now it's time for my deep conditioner. I'm using the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey Mask. I really love this mask It's pretty thick in texture. So again, it gives me kind of trouble to spread it, but it's very moisturizing So I just apply it Which takes me a long time So I'm just gonna speed through this part. Just applying the deep conditioner and working it in Once it's in, I'll let it sit for like 20-30 minutes with a plastic cap This is the deep conditioner after it's all worked in. You can tell I was enjoying my wash day for some reason Okay, this is after I let it sit You can see just how Moisturized this and there are like no tangles. My hands are just zooming through So it's a really great conditioner if you're looking for something, you know, reasonably priced and underground So Yep, then I just section it and prepare to do my wash and go Section by section rinsing the deep conditioner and applying my leave-in and styling products So this is me rinsing the deep conditioner from that last section This is my hair before I add any product So you can just see my curl pattern Then I'm going to add the Cookma and Hibiscus styling product starting with this style milk, which I'm going to use as my leave-in So it's also really creamy, but this one really spreads easily and has great slip So I just loved using this product. So as you know, I just kind of apply it around my roots and then kind of work it down So I squish and use the praying hands method and rake until the product is all worked in This is my hair, you know after adding that style milk Next for even more moisture add the Cookma and Hibiscus conditioner And I work that in in the same way that I worked in the style milk so this is my hair after working in the conditioner and You know, that's pretty much it You can see my hair with the flax seed on the left and just the conditioner on the right So it did a pretty good job. So now I'm just going to add some flax seed to that section Once my flax seed gel is all worked in I just kind of clip the front Took kind of hold it in place and prevent frizz there and then I shake and then that's pretty much it That's my results. So this is my Cookma and Hibiscus Styling products from Shea Moisture demo That's how I did my hair this week. So that's my hair for the week I do like it. It's nice and fluffy and big, but it's not like super frizzy. So, you know So I'm gonna do a little bonus line while we are here. The second line that I really like from Shea Moisture Is this Manuka honey line So, you know, I guess they kind of had me on honey because you know, I love honey And I love Manuka honey, and it's supposed to be really good for your hair I use this master decondition my hair for this wash and go and my hair was just so moisturized and so Like I had no tangles after you saw me just running my hands through it and definitely recommend this It isn't that heavy and I wish it had a little more slip, but I generally add oil to just kind of help with both issues So I didn't add oil in this demo. I wanted you to see exactly where it's like kind of out of the box But you can definitely add oil to yours Yeah, so somebody was saying there wasn't a lot of Manuka in here, which is true I believe but so I did an ingredient so water, coconut oil, Btms, Shea butter, glycerin Typical Shea Moisture ingredients, if you know Shea Moisture, the top five is usually at least water, Shea butter And you know Btms or something like that Anyway, it does have honey even if it's not Manuka honey. It does have honey to just have fig And my hair loves if you talk about banana honey or fig honey or any combination my hair loves it So I do love this product if you guys want to do a class action on the Manuka honey Don't forget me because I've bought a lot of these but I do like it It also has aloe vera juice. It has some hydrolyzed rice protein for those who don't like that and this line I actually like the scent It might be a little thick for some people But it is actually a lot silky than the smoothie even though it's like you know, it's a very thick it is kind of silky as well So I'm trying to like get a little bit out but you can see how thick it is You know and in terms of how it spreads and you put a little higher You can see that it kind of you know, it takes a while to get in there I guess again like the smoothie, but it gets in fast in the smoothie So and I do like the scent I can work with that scent. So I love the mask The rinse off conditioner is nice, but again, I use Winsons as leave-ins and this has glycerin I didn't repurchase it, but I did love my condition only washing goes either with that But I guess I love my condition only washing goes with this even more just because it's more predictable So I didn't repurchase it, but I definitely recommend the conditioner for moisture I also have the shampoo the Manuka honey intensive hydration shampoo Which I really like when I first tried it I just haven't used it in a while. So maybe I can get into using this more I don't know if this year. Yeah, I should be this year Maybe I should get into using this more but the shampoo when I first used it I was just thinking oh, this is so moisturizing That's a great first reaction to have for a shampoo It does have water and then some factors like that can look a side and does have that rice protein again and the glycerin Who wants to have shea butter because it's shea moisture Yeah, I don't see much in the honey right here, but it has aloe vera juice and panthenol as kind of moisturizes and humectants And it also has that fig extract. So that's good. Don't see honey in here, but it's really It's really moisturizing shampoo Let me know if you've tried on what you think of it because to me it's really moisturizing And this is the only shea moisture shampoo that off the bat not diluting it. I like to then found it really moisturizing So I guess that's it. That's My review of the shea moisture could not have discussed which is a bonus manuka honey Um, I do what I said also love the JBCO line so far Then the mask was fine. I just left my hair feeling really soft, but in terms of moisture, I think I like the manuka better But the style setting lotion I love that you saw me rave about it on Instagram like my hair was so define and Has my slip and the moisture was there. Okay It's a moisture. I even talk about it my one of my product videos like I think my best box of 2016 I think I talked about it. So I finished it, but that one are definitely repurchased. So and I have the Leave in conditional to try from a JBCO line. I definitely like the JBCO line I think I need to do another video really of like all my shea moisture experiences and trials because I've tried so many things I've tried Sasha and she I've tried keep region. I've tried Superfood I've tried like You know just so many different things from shea moisture just I Was curious to have each new thing at first, but I kind of gave up cuz like they have too many new lines like I gave up I know like Ashken Curls and some of those ladies are like Tried every single one that comes out and I'm like I'm watching the reviews and I'm like interested, but I'm tired Yeah, I can only do let me say one new shea moisture product You know and I tried this actually and she so I tried a high-prosy as well. So yeah I'm tired If you don't like shea moisture, let me know in the comments cuz it just takes a little work And like knowing how to use it and what to mix it with I'm pretty sure most people can get shea moisture To work for them at least some line somewhere somehow, you know, we don't like it in that oil You don't like protein. You don't like glycerin. It might be a little harder to find the right shea moisture for you But you could probably still get this So if you don't think you like shea moisture, let me know in the comments cuz it's really great to have like an easy to find on the ground Boogal time line to buy, right? You can't always be buying like really pricey stuff and you know, so Yeah, I'll help you out Yep, so that's it. That's the review of the coconut and hibiscus line with a little bonus. So thanks for watching. See you in the next one. Bye
