SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Style & Smooth Edge Treatment Gel

View On Walmart

For those whose hair has taken a beating due to repeated coloring, chemical straightening, or heat styling, this sudser is a great choice. (Though it also works well on naturally kinky, curly, and wavy hair.) There’s of course raw shea butter in the mix for hydration purposes, combined with coconut oil, plus deep cleansing apple cider vinegar. Meanwhile, black castor oil and rice proteins help strengthen hair, so they’re less prone to breakage.

Coconut oil is one of the absolute best oils for hair, and this leave-in makes it easier than ever to reap those benefits. It’s combined with coconut milk for an extra potent dose of moisture, good for your hair vitamin E, and natural triglycerides that help condition your hair. Also noteworthy is the use of acacia senegal, a plant-based ingredient that locks in moisture and increases hair’s suppleness and elasticity, always a good thing. Mist it on damp hair from mid-lengths to ends, then blow-dry or air-dry as usual.

SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Yogurt Hydrate + Repair Split End Balm

View On Walmart View On Sheamoisture.com

To be fair, no product is going to completely get rid of split ends—only a trim can do that. But this treatment can help hold you over until your next salon visit. Credit organic shea butter, manuka honey, and yogurt that essentially help seal together frayed tips, while also blocking out humidity to combat frizz. Honey also strengthens and boosts shine. While it works on all hair types, reviewers point out that you get the best results when the amount you use is tailored based on your hair texture.

SheaMoisture Green Coconut & Activated Charcoal Bath & Shower Jelly

View On Sheamoisture.com

We like this body wash both for the innovative texture and cool ingredient combo. True to the name, it’s nothing like the classic foams or creams you’ve sudsed up with before. The jelly formula is super hydrating and refreshing, though still like you’re getting a deep clean. Green coconut ups the hydration aspect, while detoxifying activated charcoal makes it feel almost like a scrub, without the scrubby part.

Active Ingredients: Coconut, charcoal, lemon balm, white tea | Benefits: Cleanses, detoxifies, hydrates | Size: 6.3 oz. | Cruelty-Free: Yes | Byrdie Clean: Yes

SheaMoisture African Black Soap Clarifying Mud Mask

View on Ulta View On Walmart View On CVS

If using African black soap daily is a little too much for your skin, try it via this skin-clearing mask, which can be used weekly. The namesake ingredient does its purifying duties, but there is also tamarind extract (a natural exfoliating astringent) and antibacterial tea tree oil in the mix, too. The point being, it’s great for helping to combat blemishes, no matter whether you apply it on your entire face or just on problem areas.

SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Body Wash

4.2

View on Ulta View On Amazon View On Target

Anyone looking for a simple yet effective body moisturizer will appreciate this formula. Shea butter is indeed the star of the show, bolstered with several other natural butters and oils. It’s the greatest, medium-rich texture, thick enough to use on even super dry spots like hands or elbows, yet not so heavy that it doesn’t absorb quickly.

SheaMoisture Wig & Weave Tea Tree & Borage Seed Oil Flyaway & Wrap Mousse

Because it’s water-based and enriched with aloe vera, it’s extremely soft and featherweight, never stiff or crunchy.

SheaMoisture Purple Rice Water Velvet Skin Gel Cream

View On Walmart

Gel-based moisturizers are a top choice for anyone with oily skin and/or to use during the summer, thanks to their lighter texture and feel. This particular option touts purple rice water for hydration but also has the added benefit of ever-so-slightly exfoliating papaya extract, great for helping to smooth and reveal radiant skin in one fell swoop. Top tip: Stash it in the fridge to make it feel extra refreshing.
