Our verdict

A creamy clarifying shampoo with castor oil and shea butter for damaged and processed hair that breaks easily. The strength claims count only when it is paired with the matching conditioner.

Overview

Readers with relaxed, colored or heat styled curls get a creamy clarifying wash in this SheaMoisture shampoo. Jamaican black castor oil and shea butter nourish, while peppermint oil gives the scalp a tingle.

Removing buildup while still nourishing fragile hair is the reason to use it. The strength and breakage figures come from use with the conditioner, and the peppermint tingle will not suit every scalp.

Who it's for

Natural curls and coils, and hair that is relaxed, permed or straightened often. Those who dislike a tingling scalp or want very light formulas should choose something milder.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Clarifies buildup gently
  • Castor oil and shea butter
  • Sulfate and silicone free
  • Color safe per listing
Cons
  • Claims rely on matching conditioner
  • Peppermint tingle on scalp
  • Scent listed as lavender, unclear

Performance notes

A creamy lather lifts residue without sulfates, so the scalp is cleansed without stripping the oils that curly hair relies on. Castor oil and shea butter coat the strand, which reduces friction and the snapping that comes with it.
