Praise for Shea Moisture Products
If you are a green beauty junkie, then you may want to consider the Shea Moisture line. Very rarely do I praise products, but for this product collection I have made an exception. This line deserves praise based on: Price, Performance, and Ingredients.
Price
While the natural hair product industry is booming with tons of great products that moisturize and enhance curls by far this product seems to be the most cost effective. Most of us want to use only the best of the best products but don’t want to overdraft our bank accounts to do it. At your local Target, Wal-Mart, or Walgreen’s you can find a bountiful collection of hair care and skin care products from Shea Moisture at reasonable prices. Ranging from $5 to $15.
Performance
The performance that I have seen from their products has been absolutely amazing. Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque has become one of my favorite deep conditioners and my daily moisturizer. It’s $9.99 and it comes in ample size jar, so it will last you a long time. If you have dry parched curls this is the perfect moisturizing curl enhancer.
Naturally without a moisturizing product such as this, my hair has the look and feel of a brillo pad. However, this gives me a sufficient amount of moisture; it softens my kinks out, and if I need my hair to stretch this product helps me do the job.
Usually when using the typical sulfate shampoo, afterwards my scalp is left itchy and my hair is left feeling stripped. After using the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Moisture Retention Shampoo, I found my hair a little easier to work with. I also took some advice from Rashida Appplewhite of Shidanaturals, when shampooing concentrate on cleansing your scalp, when you concentrate overly on your hair it can strip out moisture.
Ingredients
Very few companies hold up to their advertising, whereas Shea Moisture should be applauded. Some products claim to be 100% natural, but if you do your homework, they are falsely advertising. The next time you purchase a product pick it up and look at the ingredient label. Are they all natural as they claim? A product does not have to be organic to work, but if a company claiming their product is an organic product they should be able to back up this statement.
When I inspected the ingredient label of the products I have purchased from them, I was pleased to know that their ingredients are all natural as they claim. My favorite ingredients that they use in their products are Shea Butter and Argan oil, I tried both of these ingredients by themselves in the raw and I love them.

I love me some shea moisture products!!! My whole house hold use thier lines.
I would understand if you want to remove this post but thought you should at least know the truth. Shea Moisture labeling is deceptive / non compliant with FDA standards. While the products may contain the ingredients listed, Shea Moisture has selectively left off other ingredients in their products like preservatives, thickeners, and surfactants, all of which their products contain and that are ‘not natural.’ And since the FDA rarely enforces their own requirements, Shea Moisture can continue to spin their fairy tale. They are currently being sued, along with similar companies, for representing ingredients as organic that are in fact not organic. It is really sad because they seem to make products that many people like and would probably still buy even if their labeling was honest. So I don’t know what is really worse, labeling your product as ‘all natural’ and having an ingredients list that negates that claim or simply “forgetting” to list ingredients so what you have chosen to list appears to be natural. Either way, they are not worthy of applause for tricking their customers.
