Product Review: Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner!

In this post I wrote a few weeks ago, I explained how why I bought this conditioner. I pretty much wanted a conditioner with more natural ingredients, as opposed to all of the things in Herbal Essences that I couldn't even pronounce. I've tried this product out 3 times so I'm ready to review it!! :)

Ingredients: de-ionized water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea butter)*, Argan oil, coconut oil*, Behentrimonium chloride, essential oil blend, vegetable glycerin, emulsifying wax, sea kelp extract, Panthenol (vitamin B-5), avocado oil, Lonicera Caprifolium (honeysuckle) flower and Lonicera Japonica (Japanese honeysuckle) flower extract, Tocopherol (vitamin E) and Daucus Carota Sativa (carrot) seed oil. *Denotes certified organic ingredients.

My Thoughts For Using As A Conditioner (After Shampoo)
Ehh- I'm not so sure that I liked it as far as a conditioner, after shampoo. I washed my hair with Shea Moisture Brillant Curl Shampoo and followed my regular washing technique. The consistency just didn't feel like I wanted it to in order to help me detangle my hair... I mean, my hair felt fine afterwards, but I don't know. There wasn't enough slip for me maybe? I followed up with my Shea Moisture Deep Moisture Masque and all was well.

My Thoughts For Using For Co-Washing
I tried it again for co-washing. I'm not sure what it was, BUT my hair felt GREAT afterwards! I co-washed and repeated it about 3 times while detangling it. I then applied coconut oil on top of it and washed it out with cool water. My hair was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO soft to the touch!

This conditioner also doubles as rinse-out conditioner and a leave-in conditioner, though I haven't tried it as a leave-in yet. This makes it very convenient. However, my thoughts are that because it formulates as both, it's not as a thick as I would want it to be for a conditioner. At the same time, if leaving in your conditioner all the time is your thing, then this is a good buy because it's safely formulated to be used as both types of conditioner.

All in all, I'm going to give it a rating of 4 out of 5. 

I'm going to work with it to see if I want to keep it in my regimen or not. As for now, it stays! OH and did I mention that this comes in a pump format which makes it easy to dispense! lol

Have you tried it? What are your thoughts?
