Shea Moisture's Deep Treatment Masque: My thoughts...



Ingredients:  Deionized Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Argan Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Emulsifying Wax, Sea Kelp Extract, Panthenol (Vitamin B‐5), Essential Oil Blend, Avocado Oil, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle Flower), Lonicera Japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) Flower extract, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Hyssopus Officinalis Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf, Equisetum Arvense Extract, Soybean Oil, Daucus Carota SaQva(Carrot) Seed Oil.

Claims: This rich treatment deeply moisturizes and repairs hair while providing a protective barrier from heat and styling aids.

Initial Thoughts: The first thing you’ll notice when you purchase this product is its bargain-basement price. This is an organic product for $9.99 in a size that you can use more than once. I would argue that this alone is reason enough to stock up on this product. The second thing that will surely grab your attention is the smell. As a Naturalista who is trying to incorporate more “natural” products into my hair regimen I have learned to embrace many less inviting aromas. This Deep Treatment Masque, however, reminds me of vanilla cake, cinnamon butter, and butter cookies all rolled into one. So Good! 
Is it just me or does this look delicious too!
This week's product arsenal...
The other thing you might notice about the Deep Treatment Masque is its rather thick consistency.   They don’t call it a masque for nothing. This product is thick and creamy which I favor. I typically add a few products to my deep conditioner (olive oil, shea butter, honey, extracts of nettle and horsetail) and it has a tendency to make my conditioner very runny. This can be a hassle when applying it to your hair (be warned conditioner in your eye can cause some temporary eye irritation J) Nevertheless, this product still remained thick after my additional additives and was easy to apply.I used this product along with my hair steamer for about 25 minutes and then rinsed in cool water
It wouldn't even drip off the fork...
The Results:  I like this product about as much as I like Yes to Carrots. When I first tried it last summer I wasn’t impressed, so I’m sure the addition of the olive oil and honey made a difference (I didn’t add shea butter as it was already listed as an ingredient so I opted for some Vatika Oil instead). Unfortunately, because I neglected to detangle my hair beforehand my hair was a tangled mess after I was done.  I will continue using the Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque until the jar is done and then it’s on to the next one.
