SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Leave In Conditioner - Softens

In this review the SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Leave In Conditioner earns praise for its reparative approach to dry, damaged and styled hair. The bottom line: it is best for people who regularly heat style, color, perm or wear natural kinky and curly textures and want a single leave-in that softens, detangles and helps control frizz while supporting elasticity. The reviewer found the formula noticeably moisturizing without heavy silicones, and appreciated the peppermint boost for scalp stimulation; some users may need to adjust amount to avoid a greasy feel.

Key Features

• Reparative formula: Jamaican Black Castor Oil targets weakened strands to help reduce breakage while detangling wet hair.
• Shea Butter moisture: Fair trade Shea Butter nourishes and softens hair to improve manageability for curly, kinky or straight styles.
• Frizz control: The leave-in provides a protective layer that smooths hair surface and reduces frizz between washes.
• Scalp invigorating: Peppermint in the formula stimulates the scalp for a refreshing sensation during application.
• Clean formulation: Free of silicones, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and petrolatum for a lighter-feeling finish for many users.

Who It's For

This leave-in conditioner is aimed at people with chemically treated, heat-styled or naturally textured hair who need help detangling and reducing breakage while maintaining moisture. It suits those who prefer sustainably produced, cruelty-free products and who avoid silicones and sulfates.

Those with very fine hair or who prefer a completely weightless finish should use sparingly or look for a lighter spray leave-in, since some reviewers noted a tendency toward greasiness when the product is overapplied.
