Sheamoisture Hold and Shine Moisture Mist for Thick, Curly Hair Coconut and Hibiscus for Frizz Control 8 oz

smells good

I have thick, tight ringlets (3a/3b/3c) and my mom has thinner, wavy hair. My hair is especially responsive to coconut oil and my mom less so, but this product is a rare one that works for both of us. It moisturizes hair without weighing it down. Seriously, it makes hair super soft and less frizzy! For my mom, it miraculously brings out curls that have started to disappear with age. Her hair is particularly temperamental about balancing definition and volume so she’s super excited about finally finding a product that works for her. I find it particularly helpful for reviving 2nd+ day hair with just a few sprays on dry hair.On wash days when I need less moisture and a quicker routine, I do several spritzes on wet hair instead of the same line’s curl enhancing smoothie. I scrunch the product in and glide Curl Keeper gel in between my palms. I wrap or “plop” (a silly name for a very helpful heatless technique) to dry. Combined, I get very light and defined curls. I haven’t encountered any greasiness or buildup issues.I think the product smells more like pure coconut oil than the normal Coconut & Hibiscus scent. Nonetheless, it’s good and not overbearing.With all those positives, there still is a negative to be addressed. A design flaw (I think in the screw thread of the top being too short) allows the top to opened very easily. The packaging should include some sort of plastic wrap on the bottle, a perforated shrink band on the top, or one of those peel off plastic circles on the bottle opening (i.e. those in vitamin containers for preservation). Beyond the obvious importance of this for transport, it would provide greater assurance on a lack of tampering. This need is amplified by other reviewers’ reports of fakes (not my experience though).

My hair is naturally thick and wavy. I'm always on the go, have a demanding professional job, and don't take a lot of time to get ready in the morning. My hair is usually thrown up in ponytail and becomes frizzy and slightly unkempt during the day. I tried the Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Moisture Mist because of the good reviews online and most of the reviews are pretty accurate.The bottle easily fits in my hand without being too heavy or clunky. The spray mechanism is of a good quality and the spray stream is even and consistent. The smell is pleasant unless you have to use a lot of the product, such as on long hair like mine, when your natural oils interact with an abundance of the mist creating a sort of overwhelming powerful odor. I have found that the coconut smell only lasts for a few minutes before dissipating. When using on dry hair, the mist takes on more of a moisture role and mimics a softer version of hairspray. The shine lasts for about 2 hours, but it holds pretty well and still gives a polished look to hair that is slicked back into a ponytail.When using on damp hair, it is important to work through the product completely and distribute to all parts of your hair. If not, there are parts of your hair that look smooth and elegant while other parts are frizzy and splotchy. I found the product to work better overall on damp hair. Even after blow drying my hair with the product, it worked more like a spray in conditioner. Only downfall is that I had to spray about 20 times to cover my entire hair and still missed some visible spots after my hair had dried. I did however love how my hair looked completely down without using any other hair care products. If you can spare the extra 30 seconds getting ready, the Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Moisture Mist for thick and curly hair is worth the time.

I haven’t found anything I dislike about this product. It’s a lovely styling mist that leaves my hair not frizzy like it normally is. W/ this mist my natural curls bond together, my hair smells fresh & it also doesn’t leave a film on top of my hair. Loving this product!

I have curly hair and just found this. My hair stays beautiful all day. It seems to bring out my curls even in my 70 year old hair. Gives it a soft feel again. I truly am so happy to have found this.

I love this product. My sister works at a beauty supply and sent me one of the products from this line. The smoothie. Liked it so much I decided to order some more products. Let me say, I've seen a few people say this is a fake because of the color. I've been to a few different stores and they are ALL the same color as the one recieved. Anyhow, I use this for my 3c hair, it's amazing. Even if my hair is dry and frizzy this stuff fixes that so easily, also my kids hair loves it too. Even if I put no product beforehand this one really defines the curls and makes them spring up as well as moisturize. I just wish they sold a huge bottle! Will be buying again and again. Thank you!

I have used the Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Hold and Shine Spray several times, and in several ways. I used it after using the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner, followed by the Coconut and Hibiscus Curl and Style Milk. My hair looked and felt nice and soft initially, but became progressively crispy as the day wore on. I then used the Hold and Shine Spray on Dry hair. I experienced crispness. I then used it after spraying my hair with water to loosen the curl and to add some moisture. I still experienced crispness.I was told by a hair care professional that products with a holding aspect contain alcohol. I can't seem to find evidence of alcohol in this product, unless I am over-looking something. I simply think that it is the coconut that isn't agreeing with my hair.This is a nice product at a good price. It just may not be what my hair needs.

I've only used this product a couple of times but it WORKS every time! My hair is never frizzy anymore after applying this product!
