Product Review: Shea Moisture Organic Yucca & Baobab Thickening Line

I love the Shea Moisture line of products and decided to try their thickening and volumizing Shampoo and hair mask recently. I was very pleased with my results today.

Initial Thoughts: This shampoo left my hair feeling soft and clean, but not stripped of moisture. My curls were actually defined when using this shampoo, which rarely happens with any other shampoo I've used in the past. And the smell, DIVINE!!! This is definitely becoming a staple.

• Biotin-A powerful B vitamin that strengthens the hair follicle

Initial Thoughts: This product also smells lovely, and I applied it to my hair in sections and let it sit with a plastic cap for approximately 20 minutes. I rinsed with cool water and styled as usual.

I'd give these products a 4.5 out of 5, only because I need to see the results after continued use as far as how thickening and volumizing they are. For the first go, it seems to have made a noticeable difference. My hair was very moisturized without being greasy or weighed down, and it had more body than usual.  The price is great, too, at $8.49-9.99 (depending on where you buy it from. Both Walgreens and Target carry this line).

Here is a pic of my hair from today. I did a flat twist out (which I need to do a tutorial on soon). I did 5 or 6 larger flat twists for this look and I was quite pleased with my results.
