The warm weather is upon us and I've been experimenting with a new hair routine. I had been previously using the Shea Moisture Peace Rose Oil Gel and Conditioner. I liked the product but you have to use the
Peace Rose regular Conditioner as a leave-in.
Anyhow, my hair has always loved the Shea Moisture Curling Soufflé Gel
and I decided to try it for the warmer season since it is heavy on glycerin, by
the way, which my hair simply adores.
My hair needs water at least every three days but in the
warmer weather with perspiration and being outdoors more, I really prefer to
rinse my hair under the shower nightly (daily).
I find that if I’m just rinsing my hair that the Shea Moisture Curling Soufflé
Gel holds up very well unlike other products that tend to breakdown or needs to
be reapplied after rinsing. I also like
to “oil rinse” my hair too and this product seems to compliment that regimen
well.
I know, I know but that stickiness! It makes most people feel as though they
cannot “touch” their hair. I really
could not understand how Shea Moisture was still producing this product with
all the initial complaints of the stickiness, the variation of consistencies
from jar to jar, store to store, and seasons.
With all this against it, the product is still on the shelf with the
other beloved Shea Moisture products.
I might just have a solution for you and the reason it is a
stable in many naturals routines. It
works! Hair of various textures and
types love the stuff. I also found this
product to “play” well with other natural or non-natural product lines.
I purchased a jar from Walmart, note to self, don’t do that
again. I usually get mines from
Walgreen. This jar of soufflé was set
like Jell-O. I had to literally punch a
hole in it. I struggled through applying
to my hair. The third day, I took a
plastic fork and “whipped” the soufflé until it became pliable and looked like
beat up Jell-O! Curls were banging,
shiny, and was not drawn up like when I use a regular gel! My hair was super soft, defined, and
touchable.
Here's a few tips:
- Mix a “small” amount of the soufflé to your favorite styler or leave-in for a more touchable and less sticky feel.
- “TAP” the surface of the soufflé gel and apply directly to hair.
- Use “less” of the product! Too much will cause excessive stickiness.
- Layer the product on in sections to gauge how much each section will need.
Finally, most naturals have attributed the “stickiness” to
the agave that is in the product but I will tell you that the product “keeps”
my hair “moisturized” for days! Also,
with my 3b -4a hair frizz is par for the course but the soufflé gel gives me
ultimate frizz-less hair! Love the
stuff!
