New! Shea Moisture Curl Defining Gel Souffle

[NikkiQ]

Went to Walgreen's by my house yesterday to pick up a few things and browsed the aisles to see if they had it and alas...they did not. I'll try Target this weekend.

I used it last night over oyin hair dew. I can't do wash and goes because I need to get rid of these last bit of relaxed ends, so I just used it for smoothing down my wet bun. I will say (next morning) that my hair looks and feels softer (no crunchy) then when I use EcoStyler. It has a nice sheen, but it does not look wet.

I also was not too happy with the price. I will keep it though because I hate returning a perfectly good product.

I will use it in a few more ways, maybe a braidout this weekend, before I give my final opinion. Oh and the smell does not linger.

Napp the gif in your sig has me in tears!

 

[prettyinpurple]

Y'all it's $1/ounce. I don't think you can get much cheaper than that for decent ingredients. It would be nice to have a smaller size though before you jump to the big one.

ETA: Glad to hear that the smell doesn't linger

ETA2: Hmm well now I see that their other 12 oz prods are only $10.

So yesterday I went to a Target in a less metropolitan area and the souffle was the normal $9.99. I've noticed a slight price difference on products from one store to another based on demographics.

Boston ladies, you can find this at the Target located in South Bay (exit 18 on route 93)

OK so which one of you went to the Target in South Bay and bought EVERY FREAKIN JAR of the Shea Moisture Gel Souffle? You thought you were slick hiding one behind the shampoo, but guess what my daughter found it! LOL She is a straight up PJ, absolutely refused to leave Target without her gel. She was like I bet somebody hid a jar somewhere out here ahaha You ain't slick!

We also bought the Shea Moisture shampoo and Curls pomade (its like a wax). I also bought the Shea Moisture body scrub and it smells delish

Yesterday was a wash day. I used this wonderful gel and I have gots to have more!!!
I am highly surprised. I'm not a gel lover and thought this was going to feel weird on my strands or that the end result would be stiffness. Nope. None of that.

My curl definition was really no more astonishing than with other good products that I've tried. It gives good definition, but that's not special to me, I get that with conditioner. It gives shine, a bit of hold; nothing frozen or stiff-my hair has movement. The thing that will have me purchasing another jar is the Moisture! I would put this into my hair regardless of what style I wanted to achieve. For the pure moisture of it.
Once my hair dried, I put it up into two braids. When I gathered my hair up, I felt the delicious moisture. I couldn't stop touching the softness! I had to triple check to make sure that it was truly dry.

If I had to say one thing about this gel that felt like a pudding to me, I'd say that when I put a bit on my edges (just because) I felt a tiny bit of stickiness. Just the tiniest bit. Nothing too annoying; I am quite critical and anal at times. I just took my cloth and wiped where I thought I felt sticky. However, there is nothing sticky about the application. The scent doesn't linger. For my leave-in I used the Shea Moisture Curl Milk. Oh, and it did lay down my edges with hold and shine. So, yeah, I'm about to get ready for work and let loose these plaits and I'll get back with ya on what my hair is now looking like. I did take pictures of what my hair looked like once it was dry. I'll have to post that later (once I figure out how, or I'll just put it in my signature).

fatimablush Sorry I should have been more specific
I bought the Curls Passion Fruit Curl Control Pomade

So far I've used it on my dry hair to slick back my edges and it works really well. I love the smell. I'm so glad I can pick up these types of products at Target instead of buying online.

This stuff smells like heaven in a jar!

I love, love, love this! It reminds me of Lets Jam! without the mineral oils. Unfortunately I can only get this online...

Yeah that's what I was thinking. It reminds me of that type of mineral oil pomade.

Keep checking your local Target for these products. I have noticed that not all Targets carry the same hair products. I have seen these Curls and Shea Moisture products at the Christmas Tree Shops and Walgreens.

I haven't used it on my curls yet. I have too much hair and would use this lil a** jar in one application LOL I will stick to the Shea Moisture Gel Souffle or Curls Smoothie for wash and go's.

I don't think you would want this on the length of your hair. Its too gooey for that IMO - but it depends on how long your hair is. For me its better on the edges and for buns.

Yes I agree. This will strickly be used for slicking my edges back.

Here are a few pics of what my hair looked like once it dried.

The picture in my signature is from yesterday. The last two thumbnail pictures are from today. Though the curl in my hair doesn't look tight, the ends are quite curly. The 4th picture is to show the contrast between my two textures, giving you an idea of just how well this product works. My hair in the ponytail was from a few days before with my curl pattern brushed out.

 

[Lady_q_tee]

Thanks ... I may check this out today.

If anyone purchases, please share the full ingredient list. tia

I am still curious about what they are using to preserve it.

There using potassium sorbate.

I wonder if this will be available from Target.com. I can't find it on their website and was hoping to buy it online since my Target's don't carry any Shea Moisture products.

Greensboro ladies I went to 2 of the Target stores and no gel.. 1 store only had the Shea Moisture products the other store didn't even have the products in their area.. I also went to Burlington and again no Shea Moisture products.. So I will have to wait until the only store that carries the Shea Moisture get the gel in their stores..

 

[lala]

Lookin' good!

I think she hated it.

Ok thanks @greenandchic for that disclaimer about it possibly being too gooey for the length of one's hair. I was wondering how it performed by looking at the ingredients...when I think of pectin I think of grape jam! I wonder if the consistency of the 2 is similar. I'm definitely interested in this product.

For me and much of my Dad's side of the fam (hair texture), one can NOT have enough gel! LOL I hope it will work for me on my edges, as they always curl up!! They make me look like I have a kinky halo around the front of my head...despite using #10 EcoStyler. I want something with great hold, no tack/flakes, and great ingredients.

Maybe me and DD will take a ride over to SuperTarget 2morr and see if they have it...

 

[Kurlee]

i'm dying to try this *foams at mouth**
