SheaMoisture Bond Repair Leave-In Conditioner - 11oz

I use many shea moisture products- hair products, body butters, soaps and facial cream. I purchase hair products based off what shea moisture recommends for my hair type. This by far has been the worst. It's extremely watery and after it dried my hair became super brittle - . Then as I examined my hair I noticed that it does not dissolve. So there you'll be left with brittle, sticky, dry hair along with noticeable white residue. It does smell amazing but the scent isnt worth the outcome. Disappointed.

My hair feels as I put a sticking cream on it. I am not satisfied with this product.

This product is amazing for my curly hair daughter! I recommend it 💯

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 100% natural, 4C, low-porosity hair that sits just past my shoulders when blown out, flat-ironed, or stretched. I’m absolutely crazy about my hair; I don’t let anyone touch it. My spoiled, bougie hair loves real food and tea. I treat it to things like eggs, mayonnaise, avocado, banana, tea, gelatin, extra virgin olive oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, and rice water. I have to be very careful about the products I put on my hair, or it becomes tangled, matted, and hard to manage. It coils and has a cotton-like texture. Although sensitive, it can withstand braids, beads, and heat styling. This hair type loves scalp massages, needs to be wrapped at night, and benefits from regular trims to maintain equilibrium and growth. About 2.5 years ago, I did a big chop, shaving my head completely bald, and have since rocked a coily TWA (teeny weeny afro). Thanks to black girl magic, my TWA keeps getting longer, thicker, and stronger. I avoid dyes or chemicals, only using commercial products with temporary ingredients that wash out. I’m always looking for ways to enhance my natural hair without permanent chemicals. I rarely use wigs or extensions but am considering box braids with weave extensions. I love being a natural Southern Belle and enjoy protective styles. Lately, I’ve been exploring products that might help with protection, growth, strength, and length retention. I considered keratin for about a year, studying products like Olaplex (for bond repair), Karseell (collagen), and Cezanne Keratin Smoothing Treatment, which all offer temporary benefits and wash out in about six months. Although I wanted to dye my hair, I opted for hair color wax, even though it can be a bit messy. I’m not brand-loyal; I simply use whatever works for my hair. Since Shea Moisture is a brand I trust, I had no reservations about trying their Amla Oil Bond Repair Leave-In Conditioner. They sent me a generous 11oz jar, and the gold and green packaging is both appealing and makes the product look high-end. The font is readable, though some small text requires a magnifying glass. Some information, like the "My Story" section, could be left to the website, with jar space reserved for product-specific details. Shea Moisture is crafted by artisans in Africa, priding itself on ethical sourcing, fair wages, and a commitment to no sulfates, phthalates, parabens, propylene glycol, mineral oil, animal testing, or petrolatum. This Bond Repair Leave-In Conditioner contains amla oil, which I’d never tried before. I usually stick to jojoba oil because it’s closest to the hair’s natural sebum, EVOO for its lightness, and argan oil for shine. The amla oil didn’t add any noticeable moisture or shine beyond what I already achieved with these oils. The conditioner has a creamy consistency and a light cocoa/shea butter scent. It’s easy to scoop from the jar and apply without mess. This product is part of a four-step system, but I only received the leave-in conditioner. That may explain why I didn’t notice a change in my hair, as the system includes a bond repair shampoo, conditioner, masque, and leave-in conditioner. After months of use, I have about a quarter left in the jar. I have been using the Shea Moisture Amla Oil Bond Repair Leave-In Conditioner for several months, specifically applying it only after washing my hair. This product is formulated for type 3 and 4 hair and promises to rebuild internal hair strength, fortify, protect, and replenish hair strands. My hair wasn’t damaged before I started using it, but it was also not in its optimal healthy state. I hoped to see improvements in strength and reduced breakage over time. However, despite consistent use, I haven’t noticed any significant changes. My hair’s condition has neither improved nor deteriorated; I continue to experience the same level of breakage and shedding as I did before I started using the product. While I generally prefer leave-in conditioners, as I see little reason to rinse out a conditioner, I still use wash-out options when needed. With this product, I maintained my usual routine, using it with my regular shampoo and wash-out conditioner, then adding jojoba oil after drying my hair, followed by styling it in a protective manner. Since I didn’t have access to the full four-step bond repair system, which includes the shampoo, conditioner, masque, and leave-in conditioner, it’s possible that my results were affected. I suspect that using the complete system might yield better results and allow me to give a more comprehensive review. For now, I am still seeking a product that will make my hair stronger, reduce tangles and shedding, increase moisture and shine, and help my hair feel thicker and more manageable. I’m open to giving this leave-in conditioner another try alongside the other products in the system to fully evaluate its potential. As it stands, though, I can’t honestly say whether this product effectively delivers on its promises, as I didn’t observe any noticeable improvements in my hair while using it on its own.

I have 3C hair and I love this product, my daughter got it at curl fest and I grabbed it when she wasn’t looking. Doesn’t weight down my hair so my curls pop! Super soft, great smell all around great conditioner.

My hair loves this. It’s thick but helps hold moisture and hair doesn’t tangle. A bit pricey but most stuff for natural hair is

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works so well on my hair. It makes my hair feel so soft. It doesn't have a bad smell. It was so well packaged so it didn't spill. I think it is a good leave-in conditioner.

I personally liked the smell of it, though I have Type 2a hair, it felt my hair feeling heavy and dry not moisturizing as I thought. A little goes a long way. Not for me personally.

The product smells nice, that's it! Don't be fooled by the reviews from the Shea moisture site or people giving a review becasue they received the product for free, this product dried my hair out

To be fair, I thought I had picked up the hair mask, not the leave in conditioner, but decided to keep it since I had already opened it. I also did not realize until I read the package that this is better suited for those who choose to wear their hair natural. I have coarse, thick, wavy hair but let me tell you, I ended up with stringy, greasy looking and feeling hair after blow drying and styling that made me count down the days til wash day again. A little definitely goes a long way with this stuff which is insane given the size of the package. The smell is really iffy for me. Sometimes it smells really great, sometimes it gives off a sour hint, almost like yogurt.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product a little over a month ago, and the Shea Moisture Leave -In Conditioner is amazing! After I wash my hair. I add the conditioner rake through my hair from root to tip, and sometimes scrunch upward for more texture. My hair looks and feels much healthier. This will become a stable in my beauty routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this product for free as part of the Shea Moisture Campaign. The leave-in conditioner was moisturizing with a mild fruity smell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this for about 3 weeks now and I like this okay, not super impressed but I feel like it does leave my hair fairly soft and untangled. I'm not the biggest far of the scent but it's not bad. It also doesn't feel like it weighs my hair down too much so that's a plus. Again, it's an okay conditioner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really loved this Product for a intense Moisture treatment. It smelled great and left my Waist Length Hair smelling & feeling super soft.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is light weight, moisturizing, and smells great. I havent noticed a difference in it making my hair stronger yet but I will continue using it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shea Moisture's Amla Oil Bond Repair Leave-In Conditioner offers convenience and light hydration for damaged hair. Its lightweight formula makes application easy, and it provides some level of moisture and detangling without weighing hair down. However, the repair effects may not be as noticeable as expected, especially for more severe damage. While it adds a subtle shine and helps with manageability, those seeking intense repair may need to supplement with additional treatments. Overall, a decent leave-in conditioner for daily use but may not be the ultimate solution for deeply repairing damaged hair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know why part of my hair always broken and hard to comb, after use this shea moisture leave in conditioner , my hair is very moisturizer now and easy to comb, this conditioner you don't have to rinse, suitable for dry and broken hair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of my go to conditioners when I feel I need my hair soft again. I have wavy, thick and a lot of hair. It's a great conditioner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried many leave in conditioners but many of them leave my hair with a greasy residue. This one did not and made my hair feel nice and soft. It's definitely a leave in conditioner I will continue to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This easily became a new favorite leave in conditioner! When I first used it, I could instantly feel the smoothness it brought to my hair. It basically instantly moisturized my hair on contract. My hair absorbed this so nicely. It's such a nice and creamy consistency which I really like. I've also used it at least 3 times already and there's still a few more uses I can get from it.
