Shea Moisture African Black Soap Bamboo Charcoal Balancing Conditioner 13 oz / 384 ml - For Scalp Care & Detangling Natural Curls
African black soap and bamboo charcoal are usually found in a cleanser, which makes them an unusual pairing in a conditioner. The logic holds up: this is the conditioner for people whose scalp needs attention and whose hair still needs slip afterwards.
It softens and detangles without the heavy film a rich conditioner puts on finer curls, so the roots keep their lift. On a scalp that has been feeling dry and tight, it takes the edge off that while the lengths are being conditioned.

- Detangles wet hair so combing stops pulling
- Conditions without weighing down looser curl patterns

Application tips
Use it straight after a clarifying wash, when the scalp is clean and the lengths need putting back together. Work it from the ears down first, then take whatever is left on your hands lightly over the roots.
Give it a couple of minutes, detangle in sections, then rinse properly. If your hair is fine, keep it off the scalp altogether and stay on the lengths.
Results
Wet hair combs out easily and dries soft, with no coating dulling the surface. The roots keep their volume, which is unusual in a conditioner that detangles this well.
A scalp that felt tight beforehand is more comfortable once you step out, and the lengths stay conditioned for days rather than hours.
Composition
- African Black Soap
- Clears the scalp of build-up while the lengths are conditioned
