SheaMoisture 8 oz Raw Shea Butter Extra-Moisture Detangler

When I bought this, I really needed something to detangle and get my hair back to a manageable level. It did that so well that I really don’t have to use this very often if I use my SheaMoisture Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil hair mask regularly (once every week or two.) But if my hair gets knotted or feels particularly dry, I reach for this every time. It’s also super helpful for smoothing and refreshing your curls. Even when I don’t need to detangle, I will often get a small amount and smooth it over my curls before I start using any curl cremes. It prevents flyaways for me and it helps form my curls better. The only downside to this is the atrocious packaging. It is almost impossible to squeeze anything out of the tube. I had to either use both hands and squeeze product directly onto a clean surface or get my boyfriend to squeeze some into my hands. You can’t do the ketchup method to shake this out of the bottle. It’s super frustrating. Instead out of sheer desperation I took a pair of scissors and cut open my two bottles and scooped everything into a clean glass jar. I wish SheaMoisture would put this in a jar because it’s so much easier to use and you won’t squeeze out more than you need or get frustrated trying to get the small bit you need to smooth something down.I definitely recommend this but ditch the packaging. Using a jar makes the experience a 1,000 times better.

This product was not what I was expecting - the picture shows a white-ish, opaque substance so I thought it would be milky - similar to the consistency of regular conditioner. Instead, I got a rather thick, clear gel-looking substance. I got this product as more of a leave-in than strictly a detangler because I liked the ingredients and it had good reviews - and for that, it works great. I am Hispanic with mixed ancestry, like most of us, and despite my rather European appearance I was lucky enough to get my thick curly hair - large curls/ringlets somewhere between coarse and soft - and I wanted something that would hold my curls and just weigh the frizz down enough to not look like I go around brushing it while it's dry. I actually like that this product is very gel-like for that reason - it is not too oily and works to hold it throughout the day without acting like a crunchy gel or mousse, and because of the ingredients (and my experience with shea moisture as a brand) I know its good for my hair. My hair can take some product and oils, but I have to be careful not to get carried away because it can look a little greasy at the roots. All in all this product really works for me, and I would imagine strictly as a detangler it'd be great too because of the nice amount of slip to it. I do usually put other things in my hair besides this, whether it is my shea moisture shea butter conditioner or some other leave-in, but I can tell the difference this is making for sure.

Surprisingly to me, this detangler is the ONLY product I need to detangle and moisturize my hair after a wash, and I have 4c hair, with a sprinkling of 4b. I was skeptical at first that anything other than grease could make my hair soft after washing, but this product is a miracle. If there is ONE product that I will not go without, it is this one!! The other thing is that I don't even detangle my hair before washing. I have a pretty good shampoo & conditioner duo that works really well, but apart from that, I just use this detangler.Although it is quite thick, I had to get accustomed to the fact that it does not have much slip (if any at all) when it is applied to my damp hair. However, even on my damp hair, it gets out the tangles, and when my hair is dry, it feels like soft, fluffy cotton. Try it, you'll see.Money's worth and MORE!!

So this product is very thick and hard to get out of the bottle. There are no instructions as to how much apply or for how long before I can detangle. I wait about 20minutes before detangling. It does a good job. Not the best product out there, but it’s decent. The thing is, it gives me crazy volume, softness, bounce and frizz. I don’t style it. I just put this on, wait 20 mins or so and detangle my hair. then I go about my day and let it air dry. I added a picture of what it looks like at the end of the day. Some parts have well defined curls and some are just frizzy. I don’t mind frizz and I like the volume. I am going to keep trying out other products before I settle on the best, but so far, this one is still in the running .

Oh my gawddd! Ok. I have 4C hair and my hair has been so dry and brittle no matter what i put in it. This product has seriously changed the game. For me, im more impressed with the moisturising properties than the detangling. Yes, it detangles very well. However, this product keeps my hair miost for sooooo long and now i have no breakage. I use it along with a hair cream... but let me say that it is THIS product that makes the difference because i have tried other products alone with no luck but when i tried this one alone it was awesome. So now i use it in conjunction with some other products.

somehow my two year old daughter developed one section of hair that turned into a matted mess. the rest of her hair was fine, straight and smooth. but this one bit. it was getting worse and worse. i bought this and the fairy tales detangler to go at it full force. i think both helped. this seemed to be very moisturizing. it also made her hair much more slick so that it was easier to run the brush through. i think the fairy tales detangler helped a bit more with getting the knots out but this was definitely an effective 1-2 punch. and now that her hair is detangled, i am going to maintain it with this only. a little goes a looong way.

This product is such a favorite of mine. It is always a necessity by how it moisturizes my hai especially in the summer. I would give it 5 stars but unfortunately when the package arrived, it was not in good condition. The product splatter in the package. Please have the people responsible taking the packages drop it off with care please
