Double Sheen Shea Butter For Natural Hair Creamy Conditioner - Hydrating & Detangling for Coily, Kinky & Curly Hair - 355ml/12 oz

Shea butter is the backbone of most products aimed at coily hair, and for good reason. It is heavy, it is softening, and it stays on the strand long enough to matter.

Double Sheen's creamy conditioner puts it into a rinse-out thick enough to coat 4C hair properly. The immediate effect is slip. Sections that would take ten minutes to pick apart dry come loose in a couple of minutes wet, and the hair leaves the shower already soft rather than needing a leave-in to rescue it.

Beyond detangling, it deals with the chronic dryness that kinky and coily hair lives with. Curl definition improves as a by-product, since hydrated hair clumps and dry hair does not.

Best on 3B through 4C. Apply the 355ml conditioner in sections to wet hair, detangle while it is on, leave a few minutes, then rinse. On a treatment day, add a cap and some warmth and give it twenty minutes.

Because it rinses out, it is the base of a routine rather than the whole of it. On 4B and 4C hair the sequence that tends to work is this conditioner, then a leave-in applied to soaking wet hair, then a cream or a butter to seal, and nothing at all added once the hair has dried.
