), I see more curl definition.
I seriously do not understand Shea Moisture products sometimes. I used this masque on my hair when I had a bunch of new growth and it softened the new growth and the previously relaxed hair. Get a fresh relaxer and it sucks all the moisture out of it

I understand what you're saying but it even went on differently... Like I put it on my hair and instead of being the creamy lotion-y conditioner it was before it came in contact with my hair and it was more "firm". I used it twice now over the course of a week to see if that very thing you are talking about was the problem... Not sure. It's quite possible. I even conditioner washed prior to using it. In any case, though, I want a conditioner that's going to work consistently and the only product they make that seems to work all the time is the Kids Detangler. I think I'll just stick with that.
. That and I'm trying to make my regimen as simple as possible... before joining the hair board I didn't think about switching up conditioners depending on a chemical service...You only do so to prep your hair with a protein treatment, then you get a chemical service and you either include a protein treatment in that service or you do one in the first wash. After that I'd get a good conditioner (either a salon one or a good store bought one), generally more on the moisturizing side, and I could use it until I got my next touch up. There wasn't an absolute need to switch up if there was a lot of new growth and the only reason I'd deviate is if I saw something I wanted to try out. With this SM masque (using it as a protein treatment) I'd only be using it a handful of times a year and so it would expire before I got a chance to use up the whole thing. That's why I'm going back to before I tried to do all natural products all the time. The only "unnatural" thing I had in my arsenal was VO5 and maybe a couple of others. If my actual hair was natural, I think SM would be fine. But I'm not. I'm a relaxed head and my hair being the shortest it's ever been (not by choice) the whole time I've been using all natural products is telling me that they aren't my thing. A lot of them make my hair feel nice sometimes but as for protecting hair that is chemically treated, I don't think it's for me and I don't need to add 150 steps/products to my life to try to make fetch happen. Hair is dead and when it's chemically treated that means it's compromised. All that can be done once it's out of the scalp is to protect it. A lot of "bad" ingredients do that for hair and I think my hair appreciates that.
I have tooooo many back ups but glad to have an empty container
I also hated the scent.
