PRODUCT:
Shea Moisture's Coconut & Hibiscus Hold &Shine Moisture Mist
(with Silk protein & Neem Oil)
Price: 7.99- 11.99 (depends on where you're getting it)
Supposed to: Give me Moisture, Body, & Shine while eliminating frizz. There's also stuff about what each specific ingredient does on the back, so the coconut oil was supposed to hydrate and protect my hair from heat and chemical damage, the silk protein reduces breakage, strengthens hair, and adds smoothness AND silkiness (CUT UP!). Plus, the neem-oil strengthens too AND adds shine. That's what the bottle said, anyways.
Okay, I just want to point out that I don't have a natural hair texture because my hair has been chemically processed with relaxers. Don't let my reviews stop you from trying your own products. Everybody is different, and you need to find what regimen works for you.
I'm not sure what went down with this stuff last night, but it actually gave me the results on the bottle for once. Now, I'm not positive if I've been using it incorrectly or what. It does, however, hold curls up. Trust me and my hair- that loves to do what it wants when it wants to.
Alone, it will add shine and body. However, I'm not sure if it adds the moisture that my hair needs with just one little spritz. I have to spray a lot of it on my hair for it to work. Thus, I'm not so sure that it has all the moisture it's promising.
I also don't like the fact that the product is so small for the price. I'm CHEAP. I don't want to spend at least eight dollars for a teeny tiny bottle of spray. If they could just give me more product for the same price, I would definitely keep purchasing it.
On the other hand, this stuff smells amazing. It's like perfume for my hair. I won't even try to lie. I'd buy this again just because it smells so nice. People will literally walk up and go, "Oh, your hair smells nice."
Another thing that I actually like about it is the fact that it does reduce breakage. My hair does tend to shed, but this minimizes the breaking that occurs. It's true.
Also, I like the design on the bottle. It's beautiful. It even gives you the history on the back of the bottle.
Would I buy it again? Maybe. It does fight my shedding pretty well. Plus, it's hair perfume for me. I just wish that there was more product for my money. Other than that, I'd recommend that somebody tried it.
Grade for this product: C+

Did you use this on wet or dry hair? If on dry hair, did it weigh it down?
ReplyDeleteI've used it on dry hair! And I've found that it doesn't weight it down. I call it babified hair spritz! I normally just put it on my curls before I walk outside, and it typically works out.
