Shea Moisture is just going HAM now!

[faithVA]

I like their Nubian Heritage line. I will be checking out the ingredients in the hair dye because I'm always on the lookout for something better. I am glad they are expanding.

It's so exciting (and awesome) to see a BBO do well!!! The Coconut Hibiscus shampoo is still a staple for me and it lasts foreverrrrrrrr lol. I'd love to try their bath and body products!

I wish I could get into the hype of shea moisture products but they are all terrible for me

I stick to the body products mainly. I use the Kids line b/c it has no added artificial fragrance. The perfume scent of the main lines give me a headache. I want to try the redbush body wash once I run out of my current stash. All of the kids and baby product liness look awesome: redbush/babassu, raw shea/chamomile/argan oil, olive oil one. I want to find the mango carrot haircare one.

I do want to try the cleansing conditioner at some point.

I love the shave cream!

I just came from Target, the price is $14.99 for the hair color. As far as it being natural, I don't believe it is. I didn't buy it, I'm debating on this or Hi Rez.

 

[beebstt]

Is this still a black owned company???

Harina yes they are still a black owned company. This is one if the main reasons I'd support the line. I'm interested in trying the hair dye...willing to be a guinea pig.

This is really all I care about right now. Duchesse, how'd you find out they're a bob? Is there an article out there or something?

MaraWithLove I don't know what it is but every product i've used from the line is heavy, dries my hair out, or is hella greasy, non conditioning, etc, etc. I used one thing as a cowash and i thought i'd finally found something but no it wasn't that great after all either. I see so many folks talking up this line but for me it is horrible. I don't believe I will ever use any of the colors they now sell. Not going down that road.

I m glad i m not the only one ,the results are the ones you described ,greasy and Very Dry .I ve been trying to like this line but it doesn't seem to agree with my hair at all.

 

[MaraWithLove]

Well, I took a bite!
And yes, I did cut my hair. It's not technically a 2nd bc, but I just wanted a change and have been loving it! Natural or not, it was not harsh on my scalp.

Picture shows what's in the box:
1. Two Applicator tips
2. Color creme
3. Developer
4. Shampoo
5. Conditioner
6. Finishing reconstructive elixir
7. Latex gloves
8. Salon Application brush
9. Instruction sheet

 

[Angelinhell]

It comes with all that stuff, I guess it is worth the $15.
MaraWithLove Your color is pretty! What color was your hair before? How long did you leave it on?

 

[MaraWithLove]

Angelinhell Yes, I think it is worth it!

Thank you! My hair was a mixture of browns-from past dye and my natural color. I left it in for 30 minutes! HTH

MaraWithLove The color looks great on you..Just like the box..Cut is nice too..

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[MaraWithLove]

Lita Thank you much!

 

[greenandchic]

MaraWithLove - Very pretty and not brassy!

 

[MaraWithLove]

greenandchic YES! I'm so glad it's not brassy!

 

[MsSanz92]

I'm not really a fan of their new products I still like their old stuff in the white bottles better for my hair. Their shave line though is awesome I've used a couple of their products and would/have repurchased.

 

[DaiseeDay]

Their hair products don't work for me, but I really wish they did.

I'm somewhat tempted by the haircolor, but I don't usually buy boxed dyes & I heard these ones may contain ppd. I hope that's not true, MaraWithLove your color came out gorgeous!

 

[ManeStreet]

greenandchic YES! I'm so glad it's not brassy!

Wow the color came out great.

I haven't watched it yet, but here's a review for the new Shea Moisture Hair Color System: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPpbbvUkpko

 

[Nayna]

This is really all I care about right now. Duchesse, how'd you find out they're a bob? Is there an article out there or something?

I worked with them this past winter and they are very much still a black owned company.

I like their products but it can be hit or miss. I find myself doing a lot of experiments to see what will work or not and what I can mix together. They do listen to customer feedback though. Especially if you friend them on Facebook. The website.... no comment. That's something else altogether lol.

 

[southerncitygirl]

i'm happy for their growth and the expansion of their line but in general i think their products are mediocre and for about the same price or $1-$7 more i can use better quality lines like komaza, darcys, oyin, hairtage hydrations,or claudies depending on the size and formulation. i do like their moisture mist, but i think that komaza would be a better option in terms of formulation.

i wouldn't mind trying the sugar wax but i think heyfranhey has a recipe to make you own sugar wax on yt.

I wish I could get into the hype of shea moisture products but they are all terrible for me

I really like the body products. The only hair product I like is the shampoo.

 

[DaiseeDay]

The hair dye doesn't contain ppd, just FYI. I might get a box to tone my hair one it fades. I was hoping they would have henna, now that would be awesome!

Just watched the review, it looks great, but even the dye has soy protein?!? That's like the Shea Moisture signature and unfortunatly it makes my hair snappy.

 

[BlkMane]

MaraWithLove - Thanks for posting about your experience with the hair color. Can you let us know if the dye contains PPD (P-Phenylenediamine)? I'm trying to find a permanent haircolor without this ingredient but it's nearly impossible.

 

[MaraWithLove]

BlkMane I'm sorry, but I don't have the box anymore, so I don't know whether or not it contains PPD. :/

I like their coconut and hibiscus body lotion. That reminds me of Haiti. Their products are like semen in my hair. Just a messy waste.

 

[glamazon386]

I'm not really a fan of their new products I still like their old stuff in the white bottles better for my hair. Their shave line though is awesome I've used a couple of their products and would/have repurchased.

I miss the old Leave In Conditioner. I emailed them asking if it was still available when they first came out with all the new line. I got a response saying that they still had it but hadn't changed it to the new packaging and that's why it wasn't on the website. Never saw that product on the website again. Some BSSs still carry it but who knows how long the products have been sitting on the shelf.

 

[Duchesse]

beebstt a friend of a friend works for the company. They are African owned

 

[belldandy]

I tried two products... I don't like them. :[
