If you knew me personally, you would know that I am a BIG Shea Moisture fan. I loved almost everything I have tried. The first product that I ever tried from "SM" is the Curl Enhancing Smoothie. I must say I HATED it! I hated it on wet, damp, and completely dry hair. I was thinking "If this is what Shea Moisture is about then I do not want it" I tried this product in many different ways. I tried it as a moisturizer, styler, a deep conditioner, and a sealer. It was disgusting. I was more hurt than anything because this was the infamous curl enhancing smoothie! How could it not work?! I felt as though I was the only one in the world who didn't like this until I found a youtuber by the name of LolaKinkz. She hated it also, so I didn't feel that bad about myself.
The Curl Enhancing Smoothie has made my hair soft as a styler but my scalp became very itchy and I had white flakes. At first, I thought I was using to much but when I decreased the amount of product, I still had flakes! I couldn't believe it. When I used it as a deep conditioner it did absolutely nothing for my hair. My hair had a brittle feeling. I am very surprised that my hair reacted to the product this way because my hair loves shea butter so I thought that this product would work. But I guess not.
