Does it make your curls pop? Do you like the product?

@qchelle I just got it this morning and I am not sitting at work with it in front of me. I've dipped my finger in it a couple (ok a few) times and distributed it in a few spots. I am on Day 2 of a puff and I put some on my nape. It is soft but it is alitte greasy (which I don't mind). I will give a full report once I use it on freshly washed hair, using the whole line. But someone will probably beat me to it.

For those that don't like the smell, it doesn't seem like the smell is lingering as long as the other products. I think in conjunction with the other Shea Moisture products this will probably work wonderfully.

ETA...this isn't the best pic but I put alittle water on my nape then some of the Souffle.

coolhandlulu:lachen::lachen::lachen: It's called PJunkie-ism....you should've seen how I rolled up on the Shea Moisture products. I was as cool as a cucumber but on the inside I was like doing my happy dance. lol I spotted another natural coming down the aisle and thought "Ahhh ha I got mine first"!
 
Thanks Fab_Nikki! My hair is not a big fan of Shea Moisture products...but I might try this one out. I bet the Potomac Yard location has it.

I love the body products...but I find a get more product (larger bottles and soaps)when i buy their sister line Nubian Heritage.

Sunshine_One I keep giving Shea Moisture line a second and third chance because I looooved it when I first tried it. I mean it was my go to product for awhile. Then it just stopped working as good. I am going to give this a try and if I don't like it then I might be fresh outta chances. :lol:

I haven't tried any of the body products, my skin is sooo sensitive to soaps and what not.

I totally relate to the skin sensitivity thing. My skin is sensitive also...so I have to monitor what I use. I've had a good experience with the Black Soap and Indian Hemp & Haitian Vevitar products.

The funny thing is that Shea Moisture and Nubian Heritage are the same company. I used to buy Nubian Heritage body prods from the street vendors in NYC and here in DC. They have now gone main stream and created diff lines to market to various demographics. For example: The Nubian Heritage products are now sold @ Whole Foods. They are packaged in smaller bottles and higher priced. Not knocking their hustle..but I buy my stash from the fragrance oil shops on U St. They still ship the larger bottles to those vendors. More product for cheaper price. According their FB page, Nubian is also coming out with hair care products very soon.....I think it's going to be the Shea Moisture stuff in a diff package. :lol:

Last summer I had a PJ attack and bought the SM Curl Milk, Curling cream and the Shea Hair Mask. Within a few weeks I experienced the worst shedding of my life. I'm a heavy shedder but this was unusual. Those products were the only new thing I added. So I took them all back to Tarjay and got a refund. I was so grateful not to be stuck. This is why I like products I can get on the ground.

Sunshine_One I don't like it when companies branch off like that, jack up their prices for the same cheap products. Seems like they are trying to see where they can make the most money. On the skin care I temporarily revisited Black soap but still dries me out like the Sahara. I now alternate between Shea butter soap and MSM soap. I don't know WHAT they are doing :lol: but I do know I have fewer breakouts.
 
I really liked the Shea moisture Coconut and Hibiscus line because it kept my hair really soft and moisturized. But because of the vegetable glycerin, it caused major shrinkage for me. And in with this nyc humidity it was no bueno :nono:.

Think Imma have to pass on this, but you ladies enjoy :yep:.

On another note, I see it has flaxseed gel in it. Does flaxseed gel give enough hold for twist-outs? If so I may try to whip up some of my own...
 
Alright ladies, I was on my lunch and decided I'd stop into my local Wal-greens and guess what was sitting on the shelf. Here is a list of the ingredients:

Deionized Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (shea Butter)*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Silk protein, Ammonium Salt, Melia Azadirachta (Neem) Seed Oil, Daucus Carata Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Sorbitol Esters, Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B-5), Caprylyl glycol, Essential Oil Blend, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower (and) Lonicera Japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

There's no flaxseed gel in it, but extract which is odd to me. I remember reading a few articles saying that extracts of ingredients aren't very potent/useful.

That's not the gel, that's the curl enhancing Smoothie.

See I thought that because the gel is extracted from the seeds so it is an extract? Maybe the company was using gel and oil interchangably?
 
Hmmm....I might have to give this a try. I use their whole line on DD and they do great on her curls.

I understand what you mean, and they could be. The consistency looks like flaxseed gel from the picture, but you can't be sure until you actually feel it. But I feel like they would've (or at least should've) said gel instead of extract, since there are so many other extracts in it.

These are all just my thoughts though. :spinning:
 
You people have me all hyped up. Such a bandwagon-der. I got one from Target in Athens, GA (color me surprised that they had it) $11.99.
 
I was passing Target today and almost didn't stop in, but my alter ego, PJ, whispered "Go ahead, you're here, anyway." There sat one lone jar of this Gel Souffle. One jar just waiting for ME. It had no price. I thought this was really strange. Either all of the other PJ's had come through before me, or it was accidentally put out. Whatever, I sat it in my basket and told myself this was a sign, a sign that I would like it better than Kinky Curly.

I had to laugh at myself. I don't know what I'm expecting from this product.
I hope that it will help my hair to dry faster and keep my natural set looking good and shiny for the week.

I did not like that this cost $11.99.
If I like this, I'll take advantage of the sale happening at Walgreen's on Sunday.
 
Hmmm...I'm on the fence. I used to love the deep treatment masque then it stopped making my hair feel nice. The smoothie doesn't seem to do much, but I'm a sucker for gel. At least I get my team member discount so if I don't like it at least I didn't pay full price. <<That was my inner PJ making excuses seem logical. grr.
