Overall, I have three go-to brands, and SheaMoisture is actually one of them—the other two are Camille Rose Naturals and Melanin Haircare. I’ve tried twisting creams from each brand, and while I’ve fared well overall, Melanin Haircare's Twist-Elongating Style Cream is the one I enjoy the most. I still remain open to other products, though, especially if they're from a brand I trust. I decided to put my current twisting cream on pause and try SheaMoisture’s Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie. SheaMoisture recommends sectioning your hair, applying the product sparingly to damp or dry strands, and styling as desired. I decided to use the cream to seal in my leave-in moisturizer and help define my curls when doing my twist-out.

For best results, use the Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo and conditioner together to achieve naturally fragrant, frizz-free, healthy-looking curls.If you're not sure where to start, here are a few tips from hairstylist Addam Artist to help you find the best mousse for your hair type: This hair styling milk nourishes curls with fast-absorbing and nutrient-rich Coconut and Neem Oils, Fair Trade Shea Butter, and smoothing Silk Protein

When I was applying the SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie to each section of my hair initially, it seemed like the cream was sitting on top of my strands instead of sinking in. Most of the time, this means I just need to help the absorption process by massaging the product in a bit more. Once I did that, my hair felt much smoother and softer, and I was able to twist each section without any issues. No matter what your curl pattern, the goal of these oil-enriched, hold-inducing concoctions is to assist your natural texture by adding definition, smoothness, and shine. A pro tip when shopping for curl creams is to look for moisture-boosting ingredients, along with additions like film formers which will help stretched-out or limp curls to recoil. Cosmetic chemist Ginger King previously explained to Allure that film formers are polymers (either synthetic- or starch-based) that help to shape each hair strand. Shea Moisture haircare is made not just with a nod to the past, but with an eye on the future. Shea Moisture products are natural and sustainable, as well as being 100% cruelty-free. The brand is uncompromising on the list of ingredients they won't include in their products, including parabens, petroleum, and mineral oil.
