REVIEW: Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque

Shea Moisture as a line is definitely one of my favorites. I get new and transitioning curlies all the time who ask me for recommendatins. This line is one that I tell them consistently. I primarily use the Coconut and Hibiscus line from Shea Moisture. I decided to re-try the Organic Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque as it is silicone free and sufate free and claims to be for dry, damaged hair. While my hair isn't damaged it is colored and I am attempting to prevent dryness and damage which is notorious for Color-treated hair. This is my second review of the product which I tried over a year ago before I colored my hair. My hair wasn't really feeling this product the first time but I figured I should give it another shot #fail.

I really really wanted to love this product the way I love the other products I have tried from Shea Moisture but it just wasn't happening. Despite the wonderful ingredients (below), it didn't feel moisturized at all before or after I rinsed it from my hair. I still felt that this product stripped the mosture from my hair and left is feeling like pinestraw. I salvaged my hair by using another conditioner afterwards. But 2-3 years later I am still going to have to go with my original verdict on this one. This product is a definitely no go for me.
