Hydrate & Repair Shampoo
SheaMoisture
🔬 Under the Microscope
⭐⭐⭐½☆ (3.5/5)
This shampoo targets dry, brittle, or heat-damaged curls with a creamy mix of yogurt extract, honey, and shea butter. It’s softening and protein-supportive without being overly strengthening — ideal for curls needing hydration with a touch of repair. Not a clarifier, not a co-wash — it lives firmly in the "nourishing cleanse" lane.
💧 Health, Benefits & Quality Ratings
Health ⭐⭐⭐☆ (3/5)
Generally curl-safe — no sulfates or silicones — but does contain polyquaternium-10, fragrance, and salt which may lead to buildup or mild irritation in more sensitive heads. Safe with color-treated hair.
Benefits ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
Hydrates and lightly strengthens. Great for post-straightening recovery or dry-weather support. Yogurt, panthenol, and baobab oil offer repair and elasticity without stiffness. Shea butter, honey, and mafura butter offer softness and sealing.
Quality ⭐⭐⭐½☆ (3.5/5)
Well-formulated and nutrient-rich. Still includes some synthetic conditioning agents and preservatives, but delivers strong results for thirsty curls with mild damage or stress.
