Shea Moisture Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Soufflé




Purchased: Walgreens
Price: $7.99
Size: 12 oz.

The Good 
If you’re looking to add shine to your hair then you’ll want to try this product. The curling soufflé adds great hold for twists on wet or dry hair. In fact, I almost prefer it on dry hair to activate those curls again after they’ve gone dull. The smell is almost good enough to eat, though I wouldn’t advise going that far. You’d end up with some weird televised strange addition. 

The Bad
I care about the smell and consistency of a product just as much as I care about what it can or cannot do. The consistency is just plain weird. It’s like a mashed jello. It’s not smooth like most gels so when you dip your fingers in the container you’re getting a weird, clear clump in your hands that you have to figure out what to do with. My main issue, however, is the residue. Your hands and hair are left feeling sticky and greasy. 

Results
From what I’ve read this isn’t the best standalone product. You can try mixing this with the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie or try using this as a moisturizer after using a conditioner or before adding gel to your hair. I think I’ll continue to use what’s left of this product and experiment more, but I doubt that I’d buy it again just for the simple fact that it takes a lot of experimentation to get this product to work.. Best results are achieved if you use sparingly so you can still achieve shine and lock in moisture.
