Manuka honey is a humectant, which is the useful thing about it in hair care. It pulls moisture in and holds it there rather than sealing a dry strand shut. Paired with mafura oil, that makes this one of the wetter-feeling masques SheaMoisture sell.

  • Certified organic shea butter and honey for deep moisture
  • Mafura and baobab oils to soften brittle, dry strands
  • African rock fig, an antioxidant-rich extract
  • Smooths frizz and brings the natural curl pattern back into definition

Hair that has gone dry enough to feel rough is usually short on water rather than oil, and that is what this addresses first. Elasticity improves alongside it, so strands stretch rather than snapping when a comb catches. 11.5 oz / 340 ml, and it suits everything from loose waves at 2a to dense 3c curls.

Application tips

Shampoo, squeeze out, then this. It needs contact with the strand, and a head full of water will not give it that.

Rake a thick layer through with your fingers, paying more attention to the last six inches than the roots.

Twenty minutes under a cap, longer if you can be bothered. Rinse until the hair feels clean but still slippery, and skip the conditioner afterwards, since anything lighter will only take the edge off what you have just put on.

Results

Rough, thirsty hair comes out feeling full rather than coated. The curl pattern shows up again where it had gone fuzzy, and frizz drops back.

Strands stretch further before they give, which shows up as fewer broken bits when you comb. It is one of the wetter-feeling treatments in the range, so hair stays soft for days rather than tightening up overnight.
