Shea Moisture Define & Shine Styling Gel + Flaxseed Coconut & Hibiscus, 15 oz

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] SheaMoisture's Coconut & Hibiscus Styling Gel is solid choice for those seeking defined, bouncy curls without the crunch. The styling power provides a reliable medium hold that keeps frizz at bay while enhancing your natural pattern, and the feel is surprisingly lightweight and moisturizing rather than sticky. Its packaging is the standard, easy-to-use jar we expect from the brand. When used sparingly, it leaves zero residue.

My hair does whatever the heck it wants too and I am not okay with that. I decided to try this and it's absolutely perfect! This smells good, works in beautifully, doesn't flake and holds everything together with a gentle softness that I loved. Everything out there says it smells good and usually does until you blow dry it. This smells wonderful and keeps my hair soft and doesn't dry it out.

LOVE this product! The citrus scent is amazing! The consistency of the gel is thick but you don’t have to use much. Just a little bit through wet hair cork-screws my hair into soft, frizz-free curls. It makes my curls look defined and natural. I’d recommend this product to anyone who wants beautiful waves or curls.

I’ve been using the SheaMoisture Curl Defining Hairstyling Gel on my daughter’s curly hair, and it’s been a game-changer! She has thick, curly hair, and this gel does a great job of defining her curls without making them crunchy or stiff. The gel has a nice, smooth texture, and a little goes a long way. Once applied, her curls looked so bouncy and defined, plus they stayed frizz-free all day. I also love that it doesn’t dry out her hair, which has been an issue with other gels in the past. It’s alcohol-free, so it keeps her curls soft and hydrated. The smell is also pretty great—not too overpowering, just fresh and clean. What’s even better is that her curls still looked good the next day! No flakes, no dryness—just soft, defined curls. That’s a huge win in my book. The 15 oz jar is a pretty good size too, so it’s going to last us a while. Overall, I’m really happy with how this gel works and will definitely keep using it. If you’ve got a kid with curly hair, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a shot!

long time user...getting for a gr-grandchild. Will not dry out the hair.

I like that this doesn't leave my hair oily or crunchy. I have soft touchable hair.

I’ve tried several other twist creams and had to come back to Shea Moisture. There was a name change but for the most part, the cream works the same. I have extremely dry hair and this cream helps moisturize, does not leave flakes, and lasts several days.

i like the size of container, the smell, and texture. the hold isnt bad, wish my hair wouldnt frizz up if i lay on it too long tho

It dried out my scalp, no moisture. Also when dried it does flake a bit (very tiny flakes but I can notice it). Zero hold. Only got this bc Cantù's gel was out of stock. It also has a plastic-like smell.

Don't recommended this product as the cream starts flaking as soon as the hair dries. The hold is really light. The smell is nice. But if you touch your hair the flakes starts flying around like you just opened a cupboard which has been closed for few months.
