I use many shea moisture products- hair products, body butters, soaps and facial cream. I purchase hair products based off what shea moisture recommends for my hair type. This by far has been the worst. It's extremely watery and after it dried my hair became super brittle - . Then as I examined my hair I noticed that it does not dissolve. So there you'll be left with brittle, sticky, dry hair along with noticeable white residue. It does smell amazing but the scent isnt worth the outcome. Disappointed.

My hair feels as I put a sticking cream on it. I am not satisfied with this product.

I have 100% natural, 4C, low-porosity hair that sits just past my shoulders when blown out, flat-ironed, or stretched. I'm absolutely crazy about my hair; I don't let anyone touch it. My spoiled, bougie hair loves real food and tea. I treat it to things like eggs, mayonnaise, avocado, banana, tea, gelatin, extra virgin olive oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, and rice water. I have to be very careful about the products I put on my hair, or it becomes tangled, matted, and hard to manage. It coils and has a cotton-like texture. Although sensitive, it can withstand braids, beads, and heat styling. This hair type loves scalp massages, needs to be wrapped at night, and benefits from regular trims to maintain equilibrium and growth. About 2.5 years ago, I did a big chop, shaving my head completely bald, and have since rocked a coily TWA (teeny weeny afro). Thanks to black girl magic, my TWA keeps getting longer, thicker, and stronger. I avoid dyes or chemicals, only using commercial products with temporary ingredients that wash out. I'm always looking for ways to enhance my natural hair without permanent chemicals. I rarely use wigs or extensions but am considering box braids with weave extensions. I love being a natural Southern Belle and enjoy protective styles. Lately, I've been exploring products that might help with protection, growth, strength, and length retention. I considered keratin for about a year, studying products like Olaplex (for bond repair), Karseell (collagen), and Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment, which all offer temporary benefits and wash out in about six months. Although I wanted to dye my hair, I opted for hair color wax, even though it can be a bit messy. I'm not brand-loyal; I simply use whatever works for my hair. Since Shea Moisture is a brand I trust, I had no reservations about trying their Amla Oil Bond Repair Leave-In Conditioner. They sent me a generous 11oz jar, and the gold and green packaging is both appealing and makes the product look high-end. The font is readable, though some small text requires a magnifying glass. Some information, like the "My Story" section, could be left to the website, with jar space reserved for product-specific details. Shea Moisture is crafted by artisans in Africa, priding itself on ethical sourcing, fair wages, and a commitment to no sulfates, phthalates, parabens, propylene glycol, mineral oil, animal testing, or petrolatum. This Bond Repair Leave-In Conditioner contains amla oil, which I'd never tried before. I usually stick to jojoba oil because it's closest to the hair's natural sebum, EVOO for its lightness, and argan oil for shine. The amla oil didn't add any noticeable moisture or shine beyond what I already achieved with these oils. The conditioner has a creamy consistency and a light cocoa/shea butter scent. It's easy to scoop from the jar and apply without mess. This product is part of a four-step system, but I only received the leave-in conditioner. That may explain why I didn't notice a change in my hair, as the system includes a bond repair shampoo, conditioner, masque, and leave-in conditioner. After months of use, I have about a quarter left in the jar. I have been using the Shea Moisture Amla Oil Bond Repair Leave-In Conditioner for several months, specifically applying it only after washing my hair. This product is formulated for type 3 and 4 hair and promises to rebuild internal hair strength, fortify, protect, and replenish hair strands. My hair wasn't damaged before I started using it, but it was also not in its optimal healthy state. I hoped to see improvements in strength and reduced breakage over time. However, despite consistent use, I haven't noticed any significant changes. My hair's condition has neither improved nor deteriorated; I continue to experience the same level of breakage and shedding as I did before I started using the product. While I generally prefer leave-in conditioners, as I see little reason to rinse out a conditioner, I still use wash-out options when needed. With this product, I maintained my usual routine, using it with my regular shampoo and wash-out conditioner, then adding jojoba oil after drying my hair, followed by styling it in a protective manner. Since I didn't have access to the full four-step bond repair system, which includes the shampoo, conditioner, masque, and leave-in conditioner, it's possible that my results were affected. I suspect that using the complete system might yield better results and allow me to give a more comprehensive review. For now, I am still seeking a product that will make my hair stronger, reduce tangles and shedding, increase moisture and shine, and help my hair feel thicker and more manageable. I'm open to giving this leave-in conditioner another try alongside the other products in the system to fully evaluate its potential. As it stands, though, I can't honestly say whether this product effectively delivers on its promises, as I didn't observe any noticeable improvements in my hair while using it on its own.

I have 3C hair and I love this product, my daughter got it at curl fest and I grabbed it when she wasn't looking. Doesn't weight down my hair so my curls pop! Super soft, great smell all around great conditioner.

This works so well on my hair. It makes my hair feel so soft. It doesn't have a bad smell. It was so well packaged so it didn't spill. I think it is a good leave-in conditioner.

I received this product a little over a month ago, and the Shea Moisture Leave -In Conditioner is amazing! After I wash my hair. I add the conditioner rake through my hair from root to tip, and sometimes scrunch upward for more texture. My hair looks and feels much healthier. This will become a stable in my beauty routine.

I got this product for free as part of the Shea Moisture Campaign. The leave-in conditioner was moisturizing with a mild fruity smell.

I've used this for about 3 weeks now and I like this okay, not super impressed but I feel like it does leave my hair fairly soft and untangled. I'm not the biggest far of the scent but it's not bad. It also doesn't feel like it weighs my hair down too much so that's a plus. Again, it's an okay conditioner.

I really loved this Product for a intense Moisture treatment. It smelled great and left my Waist Length Hair smelling & feeling super soft.

This product is light weight, moisturizing, and smells great. I havent noticed a difference in it making my hair stronger yet but I will continue using it.
