This is one of my first conventional DT's that was not homemade and was silicone free. I really enjoyed the results but it wasn't AMAZING. It was definitely note worthy, I would probably repurchase because of the ingredients and how its chemical free etc. Also, I did like that I don't need to use much. However, I feel like I am putting body butter into my hair and just feels kind of "wrong". Nonetheless, when my hair needs someone to save it, this stuff definitely delivers.

love love love, I have hair that has been dyed, flat ironed and over exposed to the elements. this is the first thing I have found that really moisturize my hair, reduced breakage, and can use alone with no other styling products. I'm in love

Yes Yes Yes Yes! This is the stuff I've been searching for! I use this as my co-wash weekly and my fro has never been happier! I know this is supposed to be a "masque" for your hair, but like I said, I use it as my co-wash, then I follow it with the SheaMoisture Anti-Breakage Masque under a shower cap overnight. My hair is so soft the next day. I just love the S.M. product line. So worth the money-- although; Target has frequent sales and online deals for them--so it's not too bad.

luv luv luv and again luv this sometimes I would use this as a leave in this makes my curls and coild really pop up for my 4a curls I really recommend it and its all natural so thts a good thing I leave this for about and hr or 2 sometimes 3 then I rinse it out with cold warter this is like a deep conditioner and masque treatment for me like every week

i wanted to like this DC but it did nothing for my hair....i like the shampoo and the conditioner and was expecting a lot from the DC but my hair didnt feel moisturinz at all, not soft . Oh well. Still glad i have the purification mask, its the greatest

This by far has been the best deep conditioner that I have used. I didn't notice it immediately, but after a couple of uses, my hair was hydrated and more manageable. This is definitely a keeper!

Definitely my staple deep conditioner so far ^____^ If it's moisture you're looking for, look no further.

I liked it. The product had no slip, but my experience with masks is that they never do. My hair felt coated and stronger after I rinsed it out. My hair was not shiny nor did this mask detangle my hair. I will use this only a few times per year and especially in winter.

I don't like it. I tried to use this product both as a deep conditioner and a leave-in styling conditioner. Both times, I feel like it just weighed down and dried out my hair, leaving a weird film/coating on top. It definitely didn't hydrate or aid in detangling.

Sadly this product did nothing but sit on top of my hair. I had the worst experience trying rinsing it out. It seamed to cling onto my hair and not let go. I have read that some people are using this product with good results as a twistout styler. I am hesitant, but maybe if I ever have extra time I will try it that way, but I want to be sure to be near a sink just in case I need to get it out of my hair ASAP!

I love this masque it is very hydrating. This moisturizes my hair like no other masque I have used and leaves it super soft. It also great at detangling. I think the consistency is perfect and it does exactly what it was made to do.

It's interesting to me how varied the reviews are on this product! For me, this product and Jessicurl's deep treatment are my favorites by far of the many that I've tried. This one is my favorite overall only because the thicker consistency of this product helps it stay put so it does it's thing. I will say, I think many people who didn't have such a good experience with this product might like it better if they tried it with heat. I always have much better results when I use heat while doing a deep treatment. But every curlie is different! :)

This is a great product. Easy to detangle with but the slip was not the best and left my hair very soft. The smell is nice too. Its not too strong but its a little musky. My only problem is there was no shine and I had to add extra moisture, it was more like it just sat on my hair. Overall I do like it, my hair enjoyed it but it did not benefit it much. I let my cousin try it on her hair and the results were very different for her. It made her hair very soft with extra shine. It had amazing slip for her. So I am giving it to her.

Love, love, LOVE this stuff! The first time I tried it, I used it as a wash out conditioner; didn't do too well there. Then I tried it as a leave in. Awesome stuff! It literally melted my curls. I got hooked to it when I first bought it months ago and I will continue to buy this for my 3B curls. My hair just eats this stuff up! =)

This product did not work well for me. I am a huge fan of deep conditioner - use it every other time I wash to repair and hydrate my hair - however, this deep treatment made my hair more tangled and hard to comb through. My hair felt like straw the next day. I have a feeling it has to do with my porosity - I have fine hair with High porosity. I would recommend this for those that have thicker hair with low porosity.

Staple product for me, as a cream styler. I've never used it as a deep treatment, as I can tell just by consistency it would do nothing for my hair being rinsed out. This is far better than the Curl Enhancing Smoothie, for me. The first 3 ingredients are Water, Shea Butter and Argan oil...u cannot go wrong here. It makes my hair soft, fluffy and frizz free. LOVE!

Ive done the Porosity test and my hair would only floated, so know my hair was lacking moisture and I needed to deep condition it but wasn't sure what I should use. I was going to try the herbal essence hello Hydration conditioner but I wanted something all natural without chemicals ( i heard they put lye in that now). I'd been reading that this works for some, then does nothing for others. I happen to be at target and was about to buy the hello hydration when I saw them on sale for BOGO 50% off and figured if I didn't like it I could return them. So I used this after washing my hair with Terressentials mud was for the second time, I didn't towel dry my hair I just put this on while my hair was dripping wet. It was easy to detangle my hair ( I don't use combs or brushes) and to me it had enough slip and a nice smell. I left the product on all night with a plastic cap and my satin cap on top. I washed it out the next morning but there really wasn't much to wash out I couldn't see the product on it in the morning. I have to admit while my hair was wet I couldn't tell the different but when it was done air drying it was soft and shiny. I love this product and will continue to use it as it was made for. My hair is low po and fine/thin, I use Castro oil and aloe Vera juice and all natural products since then its looking thicker and the strands are getting stronger. No more crunchy hair, lol

I bought this product as a deep conditioner because one day, my normal hair products just made my hair feel like straw and my hair was not taking them. So I got a deep conditioner. Ugh. I love SheaMoisture products but this one did nothing for me. The consistancy is very thick, which I like, but it just sat on my hair. It felt too heavy on my hair and felt like it stripped my hair once I rinsed it out. I am going to keep it and try it again when my hair finally gets back to normal but until then I will not be using this.

i loved this product and i love because if i get lazy and dont wanna wash it out i dont have to(yes!) my mom has more of a 4a 4b hairtype so i let her try it so right now were kind of fighting over the product lol so good definition shine and moisture

For some reason my hair began to shed when I used this as a leave in. Didn't see a difference as a mask.

It was not a great masque so I used it as a leave in and it worked pretty well as that.

I love this deep conditioner. I, too, was hesitant to try it after the mixed reviews. The smell doesn't bother me (not even near stinky like the Aphogee protein treatment or the Dr. Miracle's products). I love the deep tingling feeling it gives (detox is a part of the deep treatment). It leaves my hair feeling clean without it feeling "stripped". I truly believe it has been a big benefit in getting rid of my scab hair. It's a keeper for me.

I don't understand what all the hype is about this product. For one, it stinks, I couldn't use it because I couldn't handle getting whiffs of this product as I deep conditioned. Second, it has no slip, and third, I live in Canada and this product is too expensive here for the results I get. I think this is one of the worst scents of product I have tried, no thanks.

I had no slip with this product. I am a 3a/3b and I normally use a variety of natural oils with a DP. I was able to apply the product by incorporating the oils, otherwise I was having trouble applying the product by itself. It made my hair totally stiff and I had to add oil to my sulfate free shampoo to rinse it off and detangle. I guess I'm going to have to continue shopping around for another DP. I used the whole jar before writing a review.

So i bought this yesterday and deep conditioned with it today and this is how i feel. This was my first store bought moisture treatment so i don't have much to compare with.I hate the smell of this. It smells like frankincense, which i never cared for.However, i am willing to deal with the smell because this stuff is really nice. Heads up, if your hair has product build up, this is not going to glide onto your hair very smoothly. If you're hair is squeaky clean, this product has pretty nice slip. Not the best slip but slip none the less. My hair has never been so soft since i started taking care of my own hair. My hair is naturally frizzy. the only time it's not frizzy is when it's wet. this product did not send my frizz packing but then again i was not expecting it to. All in all if you're not looking for something to alter your hair's natural tendencies (my natural frizz) and you like having soft hair, give this a spin. (my hair has no product in it at the moment, so this is a true review)

This deep conditioner is amazing! It left my curls very very shiny and my 2nd day curls still had that nice shine and bounce to them. I sat under a heat cap for about an hour with great results. People complain about the smell but i really don't think it's that bad. Wonderful product!

I was very hesitant to try this because it has such mixed reviews online and is 10 dollars and far more than I like to pay for hair products. I am however pleasantly surprised with it. My hair has always been difficult to moisturize, frizzy, dull, and tangled easily. I though that was my hair type until someone suggested I try shea moisture products. Now my hair is soft and shiny and my curls clump instead of tangle. I even have lovely 4a spiral in sections of my hair I was certain were 4b/c but it turns out were just dry. If you are having any of the problems with your hair that I mentioned above I suggest you give this product a try. Just purchase it from a store that allows returns on beauty products. The smell is hard to define but I find it pleasant.

This product does not work for me, and I am having a hard time believing that it works for anyone. It does nothing for me as a deep conditioner: very waxy and no slip. I tried using it as a leave-in; too heavy for my texture, made my hair greasy. I am currently using it as a rinse-out; does nothing, but I am trying to use it up. I just follow it up with a good leave-in. The scent bothered me when used as a leave-in, but I like the subtle scent when used as a rinse-out. Will not buy ever again!

My hair is always SUPER dry and I have tried a lot of Shea moisture products. Most of their products moisturize really well but none of the tips I have found from other naturals online have helped me to maintain that moisture. The moisture is usually gone by the end of the day. This product is the only one that keeps my hair moisturized for days. I don't have a problem with the smell. It isn't the greatest but I think its tolerable. One thing I do know is that i cannot do without this product.

No go! I tried this product and it just sat on top of my hair, it just couldn't be worked into. So it did NOTHING TO MOISTURIZE OR REPAIR MY HAIR. This product was also a task to wash out, I decided to read the label one more time and found it had wax (emulsifying wax) ladies, wax is no good, it may hold moisture in but it also keeps moisture out like water, oils etc that you might want to add. you always want to use a product that can easily be washed out.

I tried this for the first time, and it worked WONDERS for my dry, low-porosity 3b curls. I slept with it overnight, and after rinsing it, had huge, bombshell-style 3a curls that were soft and bouncy. But it smells SO TERRIBLE I don't know if I can ever use it again. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Migraine inducing. Disgusting, cheap musk; sour. Awful. Lingering even after I cowashed it out with something that smelled better. I'm hoping that SheaMoisture might take a hint from Curl Junkie and make their products in multiple (and lighter!) scents, so that customers could choose what they like. I will finish up this product because it worked great for me, but I dread the smell and won't buy again.

This product always leaves my hair soft ... It doesn't go on the smoothest but I always get a good result

I really didn't like this product. My hair felt dry after using this product. The regular shae moisture conditioner feels better than this. I wouldn't recommend this product.

Life could never go on for me if this product was discontinued lol. Best healer for damaged hair..defines curls..brings out the true beauty of my hair all the way. I have seen a new side of my hair with this. I deep condish with this and put a little back in..or just use it as a leave in after a wash or co wash. Either way it does absolute wonders..wonders..

I used it as a deep treatment and loved how soft my hair felt as I washed it in sections. Love it so much I used it on my twist protective style. I am a 3a/3b.

I used this product in shower to detangle and condition my hair after washing. It worked very well and had my hair feeling like buttah! Why one less curl in my rating? I DO NOT like the smell.

I love this! I have type 3b hair and I am transitioning. My hair can get REALLY dry at times, which is very frustrating. For the past year I've been rocking weaves and I finally decided to let my tresses see the light of day. I bought this yesterday and kept it in for almost an hour. My hair was super soft and moisturized. I can't keep my hands out of it today. Love love love this!

This product did not work for me. It felt like it dried out my hair.

I don't like this as a deep conditioner, but it works great when I use it like a butter whip. It moisturizes well and produces a decent twist out.

This one doesn't do much for me. After sitting with it for about an hour my hair felt no different. Love the ingredient list and the smell so I added it to other conditioners to use it up.

EPIC FAIL.. My hair was drying as i applied the product... SMH! Back to the drawing board SM

I love Shea Moisture products. Keeps my hair very soft and healthy looking.

Works good. Cover you head in it and use it as a deep conditioner.

Curl type- 3A I haven't tried alot of these type of deep treatments and I read this one was so-so. I bought it at Walgreens at $10.99. My hair has been "free" for about 8 months but I noticed its been drying out a lot. So I have tried a few home treatments and the proteins in those recipes weighed my hair down and made it brittle. I tried this product left it on for 45 minutes under a shower cap. My hair absorbed most of the product and it was easy to rinse. My hair was so soft and moisturized when it dried! I am very impressed and I will keep using this product :)

I love this product. For me I use it on top of a conditioner concoction that I use to dc. This adds some added moisture and protein. I then do the baggy method and usually let it dc overnight.When I rinse it out my hair is soooo soft but still strong. I tried going without it, but I cant. its too good. I dont like it as a leave-in though...too crunchy. but i love it still.

I would not suggest buying this product. I have I tried using it several times on my 3c hair and ended up throwing 1/2 of it out.Didn't moisturize or detangle at all and it was hard to distribute throughout the length of my hair It is a thick product that just sat on top of my hair without doing much of anything. My Sauve Keratin conditioner performs way better than this product. I am still open-minded about trying their other styling products due to the positive reviews.

I love this product I always use it as a leave in an it makes my hair so soft and manageable but it's definitely a daily use because my hair gets so dry but I do love the product.

I experienced this drying phenomenon as well. It's baffling to me because the ingredients are almost identical to the SM Restorative Conditioner that I love. It felt really good while it was in, but as soon as I rinsed it out felt like using a sulfate shampoo. It just took everything with it. It rinsed too clean, which is the exact opposite if what you want in a moisturizing DT masque.

My hair hates this product as a deep conditioner. It leaves my hair feeling dry and straw like, however before I decided to throw it away, I saw on the jar that you can use it as a leave in as well. So that's exactly what I did, I used it to set my twist out and I had good results. The reason why I give this product 2 curls is because those good results were back in 2011 before the consistency of the masque changed. At first it was a whipped and light, a little watery yet moisturizing, now it's super thick and seems not to penetrate my strands. I brought this jar last month and noticed the difference in consistency, after applying it, it just sat on my hair.

This was okay. I used it as a deep conditioner and it had no slip and didn't go on feeling very moisturizing. When I rinsed it out, my hair didn't feel all that moisturized. What it did do was make my curls LOOK really moisturized and healthy and I got really nice definition. Now that my hair is sort of dry, it feels a little more moisturized but it still doesn't feel special. So basically it LOOKS great but it doesn't feel great which basically says in itself that I can find something better.

I tried this as a rinse-out and leave-in/styler, and at first, my hair was so soft!!! However, when I woke up the next morning, it was frizzy and dry. :( I wanted to like this because of the great ingredients and smell, and maybe it would work better if I used it differently. However, I think I'll stick to other products for now.

3C Don't bother. It made my hair hard when dry even after scrunching. This was not very moisturizing. There are much better products out there.

It's just okay

This product is worth the ten dollars I paid for it. It's not the best deep conditioner and does not have the slip I normally like so the first time I used it I did add some conditioner to it. But as a leave in I think it works great for my twists and braid outs. And the smell is delicious.

I hate this product it dries my hair out, I used it as a deep conditioner and to do a braid out, I would not buy this product again it made my hair feel yukky

A MIRACLE!!!! I tried Miss Jessie's Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo and Creme de la Creme Conditioner and afterward my hair was looked like I had given up on taking care of it YEARS ago (not the business). I tried this line on a whim and Great Heavens to Betsy, this was "The Truth" (as they say). So Moisturized! Curls defined! A miracle in a jar!!!

I wasn't very fond of the smell,but it did it's job. It made my hair feel moisturized,healthier, and looked shiny. Good deep condish.

I really do love the results I get from this. When I first used it, I didn't get any kind of slip. So I tried combing through just to see how bad and it was a no go. As a last resort I added in a good glob of Aussie's 3-Minute Miracle and it actually came together really well. So I essentially mix shea butter with my deep conditioner.

I am very disappointed by this "deep treatment". I added heat, other conditioners and oil and still...my hair was dry and brittle afterwards. Waste of time and money. Too bad.

The Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque did nothing for my hair. I allowed it to sit on my hair for over an hour and still nothing. It didnt feel like it penetrated my hair at all, it felt like it just sat on top. The only reason that I give it 2 curls is because my hair didn't feel worse afterwards, it didn't do any damage that I could see. Im aware that some people love it though, as a deep conditioner and as a styler, just not for this girl.

I have used this as a DC and as a styler (only when transitioning). Now that I am natural I use this a a DC only. It works with a plastic cap over your head. I usually only do it for about 30 minutes, but when I did it for 1 hour my hair felt incredibly soft. I hate the smell though. I've had to play with it to figure out a way to get it to work for me just because there aren't clear defined instructions on how to use it. I gave it only 4 stars because sometimes it works really well or sometimes it's just bleh. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't the greatest. I probably won't buy this again.

Initally, I thought about taking this product back because it left my hair feeling dry still. I used to use the Macadamia Nut Deep Repair Masque, which was amazing, but it's kind of expensive, so I was looking for something cheaper, but still does great work. I bought this product at Walgreens, but i also found it at Target (Target is cheaper than Walgreens). I bought this because I love Shea Butter and it's apart of my hair regimen, so I thought this would be great product. When I used it, it made my hair feel dry, but on the plus side, I got a lot of bounce and shine back in my curls and it smelled amazing. I got a little on my shirt and I had my nose attached to my shirt lol. I felt that as a Deep Treatment product, it should have put a lot of moisture, but it didn't. Thank GOD I had other products that can put the moisture in my hair, but it smelled great and put life back in my hair, which is why I gave it a three. I probably would by this product again, but if there was a better product that can give me moisture, put life in my hair, and smells good, I'd prolly drop this product lol.

It is a very good deep conditioning mask. I leave it on for about an hour with a plastic cap. I never really used it as a styler but when I stretch my hair using the banding method I use a dime size of it per section to control the frizz. I definitely will buy it again.

This stuff was terrible for my hair. It left it super dry, hard and brittle. It didn't work well at all I had to deep condition my hair afterwards to get some moisture back in it. I wanted to like this but it just didn't happen.

I took this product back to the store. Im sure its great for some hence all the rave reviews but for me it was horrible. I couldn't even part my hair with my finger without wincing. Dried up and was really rough. i wouldn't buy this again

I love love love this product for defining my natural curls. And my hair does not have that nice patch of frizz in the crown anymore. My hair had died and gone to heaven!!!!!!! I got a number of compliments on my hair and inquriies about what I am using. Thank you SheaMoisture!!!!!!!

As a deep treatment, this is HORRIBLE for me. My hair comes out dryer than when I started :( However, as a leave it, I really love it and the scent is pretty yummy, too.

This is my go-to deep condish right now. It doesn't impart impeccable moisture or anything (it doesn't really claim to either), but it does a decent job on conditioning my hair.

Ok i really wanted to like this stuff because i have wanted to try it for the longest me personally im very cheap period when it comes to anything so i was trying my best to see past the price well i bought it and hate it i was so disappointed because i really needed a deep condish which is why i bought it i applied it after washing my hair and notice that it provided NO slip what so ever so i was ok maybe ill let it sit for a while i rinsed it out and my hair felt like wet straw i dont know why after this bad experience i want to try their other products but this one wasnt for me besides using it on dry hair as a styling aide never again!

This made my hair feel like straw!

Deep treatment mask is a big YES to me. I have it on my hair right now! It works better for me without a hooded dryer just plain ol body heat! The longer I leave it on my hair, the more my hair thanks me. I love this stuff. I am a Shea moisture fein!

This product is not a deep conditioner that I was used to. After I took it out my hair I noticed nothing. But I did notice that this product does fine as a leave in but I certainly can say I can go without this product. Wouldn't but it again.

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT WITH COLOR TREATED HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a good product if you have your natural hair color. However, for dyed hair it sucks out the moisture and leaves your hair tangled with knots. If you use this as a detangler, make sure you comb hair with this in before rinsing out. You may even want to detangle hair before putting this product in your hair.

I use this product to replace gel when I want to have that slick look or just to control fly-aways. It is a good deep conditioner if you do not use any other conditioner along with it. I think it's just like applying raw shea butter to the hair it gets a little hard until you wash it out. Good product with multiple uses.

I am a fan of the shea moisture line, but I really didn't see any beneficial results from this product. My hair did not feel soft or moisturized after I got through with the treatment. I would not use this one again.

Everything in Shea Moisture's raw shea butter line blows me away. I love this deep treatment masque. I use it after the moisture retention shampoo and the restorative conditioner. It's a great moisturizer especially for my thick 4a hair. My mom and my sister love it too.

OMG my hair hates this product. It did nothing for my hair. As I'm putting this product on I noticed that it was not smooth at all, and the smell is not all that great. I thought that maybe once the conditioner sets for a while, it would become a bit smooth... Oh boy was I wrong. After I washed it out, it left my hair feeling extremely brittle and hard. And not to mention, it stayed that way for about 2 days. I am in love with the curl enhancing smoothie by shea moisture, but this deep treatment masque was a total #FAIL

This product did absolutely nothing for my hair as a deep treatment but it works decently as twisting butter/cream. It does leave a lot of buildup on my hair so I only use it if I know I am going to wash my hair fairly soon.

I really wanted to love this product because of all the reviews and because I do love their other stuff but this product just doesn't do it for me. Everytime I try it and no matter what combination I've tried so far (and trust me, I've tried a lot!!) my hair comes out feeling dryer and like straw. The product just kinda sits on my heads and leaves a white residue. That said, I'm also transitioning from years of relaxed hair to natural hair, and I thought it might be the fact that it just wasn't usable in my relaxed hair, so I gave it to my brother to try and he said you really have to rub it in to very wet hair. He also suggested steaming while using it, which I haven't tried (went under the dryer though, nothing happened).Then again, his hair is (obviously) very natural so I'm waiting on my hair to grow out more or for my mom to try it. Btw, my hair is 3c/4a in the center.

The great thing about this is that it's only 10 bucks. I have used this product several times, and I get the same results. It feels like it's just sitting on top of my hair. It's not penetrating through my hair, and when I rinse it out my doesn't feel soft and moisturized.

I use this as a Deep conditioner but the trick is to apply evenly and sit under a heat source for 30-60min. Rinse with cool water and pop! Bouncy moisturized,defined curls. I use this once a wk!My hair loves Shea butter so this stuff is Love

I just used this mask after shampooing with its corresponded shampoo. It was my first time using it. I also did a overnight pre-shampoo treat. with Darcys coconut oil. First impressions: The smell is not good but not terrible. It's thick and it looked creamy until I put it in my hair. It felt waxy, had no slip at all. I had to carefully apply it in sections on a hair that look puffy, tangled and dry, while still wet ( I still don't know if blame the shampoo or the coconut oil). It did feel it needed some heat to melt it away. I put a plastic cap for 30 min and it did look softer but still weird, like the hair got heavier and thickier. There was no way I could detangle like that. I rinsed for quite a while and applied my CK Smoothing Cond. which made it much softer. It wasn't hard to detangle with it, as always. Hair is still drying, but so far it looks good. I'll post another review later. So the 2 starts are basically for application feel.

I like love this product as a deep treatment. It gives my curls a bounce and makes my hair look healthy. Now what i dont like, when in the shower its not easy to detangle. I have thick, long curly 3b hair.

I always end up paying 5-10 dollars for 8-12 ounces of conditioner that lasts me a week or two. Needless to say, conditioning my hair and trying to keep it healthy gets expensive. So I kept looking. I've been wanting to try a product with shea butter and I pulled reviews from a few on many different sites before making a decision. What swayed me to try the Shea moisture was that I saw it at Target and it didn't have any of the bad ingredients....the reviews were amazing. Plus, I had waited so long doing research that I needed to make a move ASAP because it was time to wash and condition. I figured 12 ounces would last me 2-3 weeks if I only used the produce on weekends. I have a thick head of 3c hair with 4a in the very back. I decided to try this produce to twist my hair up so it can function as a leave-in conditioner. I was captivated by the scent, though my boyfriend isn't too fond of it. I dipped my finger in and started putting it on my hard to section and detangle before i started twisting and OMG,..changed my life. Twisting usually takes me 3-4 hours of whining and frustration, but I got everything done in 2 hours while watching TV...I even had a good half hour break to put the kid to sleep. I'm content. And the next day my hair still felt so moisturized. My twists usually end up coming out in a day but they lasted three, then I wore it as a twist out for a few days until it was time to wash again. I got less shrinkage, but that could have been due to the preparation...but, then again I prepared better because it was so much easier as a result of the product. BEST PART: I didn't even go through one-tenth of the product! I mean, I didn't even make a dent in it. It is a shame that my other half doesn't like the smell, because I love it and this product ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE! I don't care how cheesy it sounds, but THANK YOU SHEA MOISTURE!

Great product. Made my hair very soft and my curls had a lot of extra bounce.

Let me tell you something ... I love this product, a little goes along way when I washed it out my hair was soft but I didn't see a big difference but I guess cause it was the first time. Other than that when I had it in my hair was moistureized really good and it wasn't way down and it didn't get hard so I guess I'm going too be using it ads a styling product because it says you can

I'm giving this 3 stars b/c of the properties in this product. However, my hair simply dosen't respond well to an abundance of shea butter and I was aware of this when I purchased the product so I can't be mad at it. It can be used as a leave in or deep conditoner. As a fine hair natural I find that it simply sits on my hair....so I have decided to either dilute it with a VO5 conditoner when I use it as a conditoner or I use this along with water in a bottle to refresh my curls. Overall I would say give it a try but keep in mind that if you have fine hair this product might be too heavy.

I have had the product underneath my cabinet for a while.. when i first used it I didn't like it I decided to give it another try since I have success with other SheaMoisture products. I used the Mask with my Huetiful Hair steamer and my hair turned out amazingly curly.. my ringlets where popping! I didn't feel like it really soften my hair but I loved the curl definition..

Hi Curlies, My hair was not to fond of this one, as a DC. I think it may work better with heat, which I have not tried. My loves it in conjunction with the Restorative Conditioner or as a leave in, but not by itself. I would purchase it again though, but this time try it with a heat cap or hooded dryer. -Samii

I love this as a deep conditioner for my hair. It leaves my hair very soft and manageable after I use it. It doesn't take a lot to get results either. Definitely worth trying out. :-)

This product worked wonders for my hair! I was going through the "I still don't know what to put in my hair, I'm willing to try any thing phase" when I first tried it...it was like I found Jesus! Its very nourishing, adds definition, and it makes your hair very soft. Its a great leave-in.

It gives me curls!!! Defined curls too. It's truly amazing as a DC for my hair. I'm always afraid to touch it after I wash it out because I'm afraid to cause frizz . I don't use it too much as a leave-in just because I'm heavy handed. Overall Shea Moisture is really the only company I trust to give me a completely natural product that has nothing but good ingredients for my hair.

I wanted to love this product because I absolutely love all of the other Shea Moisture products, but my hair hated this one. It's not creamy at all and it left my hair extremely tangled and not moisturized at all. I gave it a few tries and still didn't achieve acceptable results.

My hair was so dry and mixing this with a little olive oil worked so well! Used a little to style and it wasn't so great for that.

I loved this product! It worked well on my braids. They were soft and moisturized. I wouldn't use this product as a deep treatment for my hair, just as a styling aid!

If I could give this stuff 0 stars I would. After using the SheaMoisture Moisture Retention Shampoo with amazing results, I applied this expecting my hair to feel heavenly. Um, no. This stuff doesn't really spread that well. It's almost like it spreads on hard when you're trying to put it on your hair. I have tried this stuff on with a cap and without a cap for an hour. I still am unable to detangle my hair. It leaves my hair even more tangled than when I put it on my hair. And moisture? None from this product. My hair was BONE dry after using this (and it felt so moisturized after the shampoo so I'm sure this just stripped my hair). I hater this product, and will certainly not purchase again. Waste of money.

Ok, so this works amazingly well as a masque, but I would NOT recommend leaving it in as a style cream. When I used it as a masque and rinsed it out after 30 minutes, it made my hair soft, defined, and shiny, as well as frizz-free! But when I left it in over night, my hair was sticky and greasy and clumpy all the next day. Use it as a rinse-out treatment, and overall a big thumbs up!

This masque is okay, it doesn't have much slip so I have to add olive oil to it.

Super hydrating and just right for my curls.

I love this product! I am in between a 2c and 3a and this is exactly what my dry hair needed. I use it about once a week or less. Personally I love the smell, and as others have said it is $10 not $30. Highly recommend it!

Pros: inexpensive ($10, NOT $30); subtle scent Cons: My hair hates this product, it does NOT penetrate my hair at all. As a DC, it just left my hair feeling greasy, as a styler, it just sat on my hair and did not penetrate. It was bad enough so that my lil brother asked me to wash it out (he has never even payed attention to my hair (until that day). I tried to mix a table spoon of it to my other DC treatments... it made them less effective. I tried to use it at different steps and different ways... until I gave it away....

This is a great DC. I love the smell. It works well under a steamer.

This is a really nice deep treatment. I use it when I feel like my hair is really dry/damaged basically once a week. The smell is pleasant and leaves my hair feeling very soft afterwards. Side note: It costs $10.00 at Target not $30.00. I don't know why it says that above.

Great leave-in. Didn't do much for me as a DC.

I DC'ed with this for about 2 hours under a plastic bag without added heat -- just body heat. Then used it as a leave-in styling aid. I love the way it makes my hair feel. From the moment I washed out my hair from the DC treatment, my hair was amazingly soft and manageable. I didn't use a comb at all -- I just raked through my hair with my finger and it's beautiful!

Scent of this is incredible. Just like the rest of the line. Great price and value too, as very little is needed. 1 curl off because this seems to work the best for me only with other SM products and not as well with other brands. Didn't work for me as a leave in. Didn't dc with it either, but used as a regular rinse out. It was on only for a few minutes. But seem to work fine. Not very detangling but not bad enough to have a problem with. When I was rinsing out my hair didn't feel all that soft, but did feel strengthened. Which is why I think it felt bad as a leave in. Leave ins work better if they are softening. When I left this in my hair felt hard. So after rinsing out I used SM milk as a leave in and smoothie as a styler, air dried and it looked great. I'll stick to using the whole line together.

First this product is not $30 dollars. I find it for 9.99 at Target. I really like this product, my hair has never looked this moisturized. My hair doesn't look dull after a day and it is a lighter smell than some of the other products in this line. I use this product as a leave-in styling cream. It works better for me that way. I would buy this product again.

I've used this as a DT and leave-in..it's pretty great! as a DT, it's amazing. my hair felt so soft and moisturized after using this. I used it as a leave-in one day and my hair felt soo soft, and didnt frizz! I think i'll try it again as a leave-in, maybe with another curl cream.

Absolutely love this product! It smells really nice and it left my hair shiny which speaks volumes! I used it first as a deep conditioner sat under my bonnet after I rinsed it out my hair had so much slip the comb glided through. I then combined it with aloe vera gel for my twists and when I took the twists down today they were so shiny, well moisturized and well defined! This is definitely a keeper since it's a 2-n-1 product and for only $10 at Target makes it even better :) I will definitely start using the entire line from now on.

just average. I wanted to love it but it did nothing special for my hair

This is my favorite leave-in conditioner/styler of all time. It leave me with well-moisturized, fluffy, fragrant hair. It has wonderful ingredients and is very affordable at $10 for 12oz. It is a staple of mine.

This product worked better as a styling aid/moisturizer for me. As a deep treatment masque, it didn't do much for me. In fact my regular conditioners worked better. I didn't try it with oils, but IMO, it's advertised as a deep treatment masque already, so I'm expecting it to do so with no additives. I love it as a moisturizer though. A little goes a long way, like between dime and quarter size for your whole head depending on length. If you use too much, it'll give your hair a white/ashy look. For the price though, not bad, I'll repurchase if I ever get tired of the scent of the Curl Enhancing Smoothie, but I don't foresee that ever happening.

I've been using this product for a few mnths now and I really love it. It works great on my hair and it detangles my hair very well. I would have loved for it to define my curls more, but it doesnt...none the less this product is quite great and for the price which is $9.99 not $30 its quite a good deal!

Good product. Loved the ingredients! I liked the results when used it with my steamer, but as was stated before. No WOW effect. I'll definitely repurchase and add the honey +oils as suggested. Sounds like a great idea.

This product is ok when used alone...but when you modifiy it by adding a few oils (I use castor, rice bran and sweet almond) and a bit of honey, it becomes amazing. I usually add those things, and sit under my heat cap for about 30 mins and my hair feels amazing. I've also added this to more protein rich deep conditioners to balance them out and its good like that also. The only reason that it gets 4 curls rather than 5 is that I have to modifiy it to get the wow factor. But the price (its $10 at Target not sure why its showing as $30 here) and the face that I can get it on the ground make up for that.

I really like this. I've only used it as a deep conditioner with heat and it makes my hair very soft. Though the ingredients are the same, She Moisture has altered the texture and aroma of this product a bit since I first purchased it back in March 2010. It used to have the consistency of cake batter now it's like a whipped butter cream. I preferred the cake batter consistency, but it's not a deal breaker. This has the signature frankincense and myrrh, vanillaish scent like every other goldish/tanish labeled product Shea Moisture carries. All-in-all I'm very satisfied with this condish and I will continue to purchase it.

I didn't like this product before but I'm growing to like it. I use it as a deep conditioner WITH HEAT so I feel its best that way instead of using no heat. It definitely made my hair feel healthier.

Product almost gone and I'm sad. There are no close targets near me and everytime I go online to look and see if it's in stock, it's always on back-order. BOO! Great for a DT, but I also liked styling with it as well.

I love this! It makes my hair feel so soft afterwards. Plus i like the creamy consistency and the smell is pleasant!

Love this DT for my 3c/4a and my daughter's 4b. Applied after washing, covered with a plastic cap and left on for about 30 minutes. With or without head, hair was very soft, moisturized and curls were poppin'! Found this at Target for $9.99; nice ingredients and a great buy! Will purchase again.

Used the SheaMoisture DT after a henna application and since it was late ended up sleeping with the product in my hair. This DT left my hair SOFT and soooo very easy to detangle and my hair is super tangly. The smell is pleasant and the consistency thick. For optimal application hair does need to be soaking wet, otherwise I think it's easy to use too much product which could end up being less cost effective. I will likely purchase this again for my mostly 3c hair.

I honestly sat with this stuff in my hair for 30 minutes with a hot towel over my head, and did NOT come out with moisturized hair. I guess because since my hair is more on the coarse side, it did not do much. My hair felt like straw. I detangled with a wide tooth comb...and I must say, this stuff is FAR from a detangler! No bueno Keep in mind that I am a CG who is trying to repair my curls from heat damage!

Love it! Best detangler and DC I have used yet. Makes my hair real soft. I also like the smell, something grandma homemade -ish about it. The price is wrong though, it's $9.99 at Target.
