I got some Mother's Day $$$ in the mail today (I have a stepson) and would love to treat myself to some more Shea Moisture products! I love love looove the Coconut and Hibiscus shampoo - my hair is fab with it! Which of the other products should I pick up, and any tips on using them? I am a 3B with short hair if that helps. My hair performs 1000% better when I use the one Shea Moisture product I have, so I am looking forward to trying some of the other ones. Sooo, any tips, tricks, or methods will be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much everyone

Well I'm a fan of the Shea Moisture African Black Soap Soap and Conditioner (it's the black label, with orange writing). It works well for me cause I get the scalp itchies occasionally.

I like the curl & style milk a lot.

I found the coconut & hibiscus shampoo on the clearance rack at my walgreens for $5. I don't think they ever put them on the shelf in the normal area. Bought both bottles and love it.

I also have the smoothie. Someone here suggested diluting it to a spray and that works better for me than using it full strength as a styler.

The scent of the products with the gold label turns me off. The shampoo is okay but the scent of the coconut one is so much better to me.

I started using Shea Moisture moisture retention shampoo & restorative condish. a while back & I LOVE IT! You only have to use a very small amount of the shampoo (I've actually had the same bottle for 4months now & I'm only 1/3 of the way thru the bottle) & it cleanses my hair very well.

As far as the condish. goes I add grapeseed oil to it for a deep treatment and then sit under the dryer for 35mins. When I'm done my hair is soooo soft and easy to comb.

I could do w/out the smell (its not horrible but I really don"t like 'natural smelling' products. However with the great results I get I will more than happily tolerate the smell.

I have the DT Masque and the Smoothie. Love the smell of both. I tried the DT Masque as a leave in yesterday and it is very moisturizing. The Smoothie is hit or miss for me. I really want it to work because it smells so great. These products are very rich so a little goes a long way, for me.
