Product Review: Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Co-Wash Conditioning Cleanser

Hey Curlies,

In my last post, I spoke about how I got a chance to try four new products. One of the products was the new Shea Moisture Co-Wash. I've been trying to get my hands on this product for the last month and I finally got my products in the mail from Shea Moisture.

My Review:
I was so excited to finally try this product. At first glance, I was sort of taken aback by the size of the bottle. For some reason the bottle looked at lot bigger in photos and I thought it would be a bit wider. The product smells exactly like the other products in the coconut and hibiscus line. Since the top of the bottle comes out as a squeeze top, the product comes out as a lotion. My hair did become very clean after a couple of washes. I washed only my scalp. If you are expecting a lather with this product, you will most likely experience little to no lather. I was impressed when I didn't experience the dry and brittleness of my hair after washing. This was just a sign that my hair was not stripped.

A couple of things that I didn't like as much were the price. Although, I did not pay for this product, I am sure many of you will. For $11.99 you get a 8oz bottle of product. I felt as if I used a lot of the product to get my hair clean and I will probably get only a few more washes out of it.

I would recommend this product for those who do not experience lots of dandruff or if a quick wash is needed for some reason. Overall, I give this product a 5 out of 5.
