Shea Moisture Yucca & Plantain Thickening Growth Milk 8 oz / 237 ml - For Stronger, Thicker Hair & Breakage Prevention
The name says growth, so it is worth being clear about what a styling milk can and cannot do. It works on the hair you already have. Less breakage while you comb and style means more of your length stays on your head, and hair that keeps its ends looks thicker than hair that keeps losing them.
Yucca and plantain are the two named ingredients, with certified organic shea butter conditioning underneath. The texture is a light milk, so it adds body at the root rather than weight, and it flattens flyaways without going crisp. It also spreads far enough that 8 oz / 237 ml lasts longer than the bottle size suggests, particularly on stretched hair rather than a wash-and-go.
- Reduces breakage during combing and styling
- Adds body to fine or limp textured hair
- Conditions without the greasy film of a heavier cream
- Smooths flyaways on a stretched or braided style
It also sits well under a bonnet or a scarf overnight, which is where a good deal of the flyaway control actually happens.
Made for type 3b through 4c hair that is weak, brittle or losing length at the ends. Apply to damp hair, section by section, and follow with a cream or a gel if you want more hold.

Application tips
Shake first, then apply to hair that is damp rather than dripping. Two or three pumps into the palm, smoothed over sections from root to tip so the roots get some as well, since the body it adds belongs at the top.
Comb through while it is still wet, then stretch the hair however you like: plaited down, banded, or blow dried on cool. On dry hair, reapply only at the parting or the edges.
Results
Combing gets easier, and fewer short broken pieces end up in the sink. Fine strands sit up rather than lying flat, so the same head of hair reads fuller from the front.
The finish stays soft. Loose hairs lie down without crisping, and there is nothing left on the palms or the pillow. On stretched styles it holds shape for a couple of days.
