Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Smoothie 11.5 oz / 340 ml - For Damaged, Brittle & Curly Hair
Hair that has been relaxed, coloured, bleached or straightened for years behaves differently to hair that has not.
It holds less moisture, it snaps sooner, and it needs something thicker than a leave-in spray before anything changes.
The Strengthen and Restore Smoothie is that thicker something. It is an emollient cream, 340 ml of it, and the texture is closer to a whipped butter than a lotion. On damaged and heat-styled hair it does two jobs at once. It holds moisture in the strand, and it cuts the breakage that quietly costs you length over months rather than days. The curl pattern usually shows up better as a side effect, because a hydrated curl clumps and a dry one does not.
Section damp hair and apply. From there you can leave it as a moisturiser or use it to set twists, depending on what the day needs. It is heavy enough that fine hair should be sparing with it and coarse hair can be generous, and heavy enough that it works as a sealing layer over a lighter leave-in if your hair drinks everything you own.

Application tips
Warm a scoop between your palms until it turns glossy, then smooth it downward through damp hair with flat hands so the strand lies one way. Rake through to set the clumps, and twist, braid or air dry from there. Keep it off the roots or everything drags flat.
Results
The curl pattern shows up more clearly and the texture goes from rough to pliable. Hair that had been snapping at the mid-lengths holds together better under a comb.
There is enough weight to smooth a fluffy surface without a gel's crunch, so twists come out soft and defined. Damaged, heat-worn lengths look less frayed by the second day.
