My take
I've been using the SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Shampoo for a little while now. I bought it during a B2G1 sale and use it for clarifying my relaxed hair. What drew me to it was the ingredients. Particularly the Jamaican black castor oil and apple cider vinegar. I use those two products separately and was excited to be able to use them together in a shampoo.
The shampoo is a dark color which is probably from the castor oil. I really like the smell which is a nice scent of vanilla. Whenever I use it my hair and scalp feel cleansed, but not stripped. in fact, I think this clarifying shampoo is the only one I've used that leaves moisture in my hair and gives it shine.

Final verdict:
The SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Shampoo is a keeper. I love the benefits of the black castor oil and apple cider vinegar. I think I might like this better than SheaMoisture's African Black Soap Cleansing Shampoo and will replace it as my go-to clarifying shampoo.

I loved this shampoo cause it made my hair feel clean but my hair shedding something kinda crazy and the masque is really thick. I want too try it again but i am so scared of the shedding. I used the masque and afterwards my hair felt so soft and strong,but not for aure if it is 2 much protein????
ReplyDeleteIt's always a bummer when a product only half works for your hair :(
DeleteIt could be protein or maybe it's the castor oil. I've heard it makes some people shed the first few times they use it.
