BRAGworthy: Curly Hair Don’t Care with Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie!
I was born with super, wild, untamed curly hair and I’ll be the first to admit that I never really liked it. As a kiddo, I would hide my locks in a ponytail because to me I looked like an electrocuted poodle. Since I have super thick hair too, my curls always seemed to take over my head and I just couldn’t control their wild ways. As I got older, I began to straighten and style my hair to the point that you would never know I had any kind of curl.
I’ve literally tried every product on the market from curl mousses, to gels, to curl creams to begin to appreciate my natural locks, but I hated the outcome. My hair would become frizzy, flat, or would be impossible to control. I decided to do some soul searching since summer hair should be all natural and fun. I mean who wants to do daily blowouts when it’s practically pea soup outside everyday?
I knew standard mousses don’t work and I can forget about gels too. So I came across a product people were raving about and swearing worked for untamed curly gals like me. Shea Moisture created a curl defining product similar to a curl cream but made from coconut oil, silk protein, and neem oil which is known to control thick curl hairy. Since the Curl Enhancing Smoothie boasts all natural ingredients and is free from sulfates, parabens, and other nasty stuff, I knew I had to give it a shot.
The best way to apply the product is on sectioned damp hair and then use a towel to slightly scrunch the product in to eliminate excess. Since I usually wash my hair at night, I decided to sleep with my hair slightly damp and let the product do the work overnight. I woke up to some serious defined curls that were bouncy, shiny, and were soft. Major win! Because I’m not a daily washer, I put my curls to the test to see how long I could go with my natural look. My curls lasted for days even through crazy workouts and humid-filled days.
To really take the styling to the next level, I read to use a little bit of Curl Enhancing Smoothie mixed with some water to help define the curls for the next day, and even the next day! I am happy to say my curls last up to 3–4 days without a wash and restyle. The best part is, the product smells amazing with hints of coconut and hibiscus. Let’s just say these summer curls are sexy, natural, and oh so fun!
