If this masque is better than the Manuka Honey Masque, then this is a MUST TRY! IMO the Manuka Honey is the best SM Masque for my hair so I can't wait to try it. Yes, I definitely remember your series of videos trying different gel combos with the SM Souffle; the Wetline Xtreme Gel combo is still one of my favorite summer wash-n-go products for days upon days of moisturized curls.
I wasn't going to buy any of Shea Moisture's new lines (I'm trying to reduce my stash). But you make me want that masque really bad now, and you've never steered me wrong with product recs.
I've used the masque and i love it! It's definitely the best masque I've used hands down. And I'm obsessed with the scent. I can't wait to try the rest of the line.
Thanks for sharing! I already purchased the masque and the gel. Wash day is tomorrow so I can't wait! I wish there was a leave in or moisturizer for this line.
Wow NO leave in conditioner or moisturizer ... that's VERY surprising becuz they normally but definitely should have those 2 in ALL their lines ?!? That's crazie, they know better !!! 😏😏😏
I just recently learned that Shea Moisture came out with two face/body lines! They're the Peace Rose Oil Complex and the Sea Kelp & Pearl Protein. I found these both at my nearest Target store!
+CurlyGirlJess YAY! I just made a post about both lines on my blog, so I'll see if people notice and want to try them. The Peace Rose one catches my attention though and I might try it in the future.
Did you know about a shea moisture line called sacha inchi (I think that's how you spell it lol)? I saw it today at Ulta. I haven't heard of it or seen talk of it anywhere. What's even weirder is shea moisture hasn't updated their website with any of the new product lines. I didn't finally find this line at target. Was too happy. I've heard wonderful things about the masque so that's what I got. Thanks for the review!!!!
The gel works great with the Karen's body Beautiful sweet ambrosia leave in. These two products together gave me one of the best wash and goes I've ever had!
Thanks for the review. I purchased the SM high porosity styling gel today and used it tonight, so I'll see tomorrow how well my hair responds to it. And girl, girl, girl....I definitely can't stand that gel soufflé. That stuff is a sticky mess!!!!
+CurlyGirlJess Well I can most certainly say that I'm really enjoying the SM High Porosity styling gel!!! It gives me killer definition! It's dries a little crunchy but smooth on some oil and it takes care of it. I have to say that this styling gel kicks that ole gel soufflé's ASS!!!!
Great Review!!! I'm definitely going to buy this collection...Since I'm pretty broke now 😩 I'll only be buying one product at a time...I'll be putting out a review on the high porosity co wash very soon!!!
Have you heard of the Shea Moisture Peace Rose oil complex nourish & silken line that has a shampoo, conditioner and gel cream (from what I saw I'm target) As well as the Omega 3,6,9 Rescue & Repair line that has the standard shampoo, conditioner, mask as well as a co wash and new curl enhancing smoothie 😳 I'm so shocked they released a new curl enhancing smoothie!!!
I love this co wash.. Once I got use to it i realized alittle goes along way with this stuff it feels weird applying it as if it couldnt possibly clean anything but after you rinse you can feel that it cleansed.. it easy to over use this at first just find what works for your particular hair as naturals i feel sometimes we are waaaay to heavy handed especially when trying a new line. The more soaking wet your hair the less youll have to use i realized that when i first used it i needed my hair to be soaking wet then it spread beautifully it has way more slip than the coconut hibiscus in my hair i cant speak for everyone elses experience
this is probably one of the only shea moisture lines that i still consistently use. I actually just finished up a cowash and still love the DC and gel. :)
+CurlyGirlJess I finally tried the masque and guuuuuuuurlllll!!!!! shut up and take my money!!! also I just got the Rose conditioner and gel, jbco gel, and superfruit gel and detangler to try. I don't even know what to do with myself with all these goodies. :(
I was so excited to try this gel. I hate it. My hair is so stiff and dull. It's uber dry. I used it yesterday. I'm washing it out tomorrow. it's also flaking like crazy. I'm going to try it with the gel souffle to see if it will prevent it from drying out next time. but I won't repurchase this. I'm going to eventually try the ufd gel that you and Ashley like so much. My fave gels are kinky curly and camille rose curl maker.
+Shenette yea it needs to have a good moisturizer under it..it does have a cast on it when dries, but i usually don't get flakes with it when i fluff my hair out the next day.
excellent review of this line! i picked up the masque, gel and elixir. so far i tried the elixir on dry hair and liked it but have to still use it on wet and the other items. I think you should coin the term "deep contangle" :)
+CurlyGirlJess Love your video.. i bought the masque and the low porosity condish a few weeks ago...i've been using the low porosity condish cause I have low porosity...now I am going to try the deep conditioner!
+Stoni129 LOL i went through a good long period of like almost 6 months of buying barely anything and now that they have all this new stuff i feel like i just wanna do nothing but shop!!
+diamondsandlipgloss they are available online through target.com and you can have it shipped to store. Or you can request for your store to stock it :)
+CurlyGirlJess is the high porosity masque better than the Purification Masque? That one is my holy grail masque just off of the slip and curl definition that I get, but I do have high porosity hair so if you think this is just as good as or better than the Purification Masque, the product junkie in me will slide this new masque into my rotation. Thanks! Tiffany aka texturelove16
+Tiffany Forde great question! The purification mask is much more detoxifying/cleansing on my hair and it also gives me moisture. The purification mask i would reach for if i needed to get any build up off my hair and scalp and I don't really use it weekly. The high porosity mask i would have no problem using on a weekly basis because it give me more moisture and is a light protein so it makes my hair feel strong as well.
TRESemmé Botanique Nourish and Replenish Conditioner is a new line by them and it is silicone free. Still hunting for a replacement of the old tresemme naturals. I plan on trying this soon. I actually don't even see the new version in stores anymore. I wonder if they replaced it with this.
+nyishaj123 they did...they released a statement saying that all of the naturals lines are being discontinued and the bontanique lines are their replacements.
Yeah because they changed the formula if they hadn't they wouldn't need to discontinue it. If I try it before you I'll let you know what I think about it.
Have you or do you know of any other natural hair women that have use the high porosity deep conditioner as a leave-in. I use the raw shea butter as a leave-in and I seen a few reviews using the super fruit deep conditioner as a leave-in. So I'm trying to compile more information that pretty much, most of the Shea Moisture deep conditioners are safe to use also as a leave-in.
+LATASHA D JEFFERSON I have used it as a leave in once...it worked just ok, i prefer it as a conditioner/ deep conditioner. The raw shea butter i also love using as a leave in as well, but it's thicker than the high porosity mask. I'd say that you can use it as a leave in and see if you like it.
Your hair is getting long again sweetums and it looks awesome for 6 days! Okay, I'm officially excited to try the gel now seeing your results. Girl I'm either using that shampoo to clear makeup brushes or give it to my cousin, whose hair reacts well to everything lmao, I'm hoping the gel is a winner from this line for me since my hair wasn't into the other two. Same here with the Coco/Hibiscus cowash, I was done with that bottle in 2 uses so I'll probably have the same result that you did with this cowash. Omg the curling gel, you tried everything to make that bad boy work lol! Great review as always!!!
I too love the mask as I have high porosity hair. But, I'm not sure if it's considered a light or medium type of protein. what do you think? Thank you for the review!
+Sister Nneka it's thicker and gives me more moisture...but which i realized what i forgot to mention it leave my hair feeling strengthened as well as moisturized like the pumpkin dc does.
+CurlyGirlJess Thanks so much! Your word is gold with me because your reviews are always spot on. Although my hair is low porosity, if this works like the pumpkin deep conditioner, it should work well for me. My hair loves masques. Thanks again!
Even though I don't have high porosity hair, do you still think I should buy it? I feel like I have a different hair porosity in the front of my hair anyway.
+Danielle Uzuegbu i feel like it may be worth a try...check out mythriftedcloset's review on this...i know she has low porosity hair and it worked for her!
for me this mask does help with my frizz, due to it being super moisturizing for me. I will always naturally have some frizz just due to how my hair is, but I fin that as long as i'm using moisturizing conditioners and leave ins/styler, then my frizz is not completely out of control.
+Alisa hmmm I could see the deep conditioner being too heavy for fine hair, but it might be ok as long as you use it light handedly. The gel i think would be fine since it's a lighter texture.
That masque is AMAZING!!!!.....I was in SHOCK.....glad it worked great for you as well
+Akushika GoneNatural yes i was too! they really did good with this one! Hopefully they don't go and change it!
If this masque is better than the Manuka Honey Masque, then this is a MUST TRY! IMO the Manuka Honey is the best SM Masque for my hair so I can't wait to try it.
Yes, I definitely remember your series of videos trying different gel combos with the SM Souffle; the Wetline Xtreme Gel combo is still one of my favorite summer wash-n-go products for days upon days of moisturized curls.
+The1NYCgirl definitely worth a try!! :)
I wasn't going to buy any of Shea Moisture's new lines (I'm trying to reduce my stash). But you make me want that masque really bad now, and you've never steered me wrong with product recs.
Ikrrrr. I also buy stuff I really wanna try but I don't need at the moment now I have a bunch of junk waiting to be used.
I've been under a rock. Going to Target tomorrow. thank you ma'am
LOL you're welcome! Let me know how you like them! :)
I walked into my local CVS and did a TRIPLE take! I saw 3 of the new lines and was trying to wonder how I missed this. Anywho, great review, as usual.
+ThatChickKim I Know! my cvs has all of the lines now...with the exception of the brand new ones. Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed! :)
Bought it, tried it and you were abslutely right. Im a fan now. Thank you
+belleandchic1 You're welcome! I'm glad you love it too...i had to repurchase the deep conditioner this past weekend...still love this stuff! :)
I've used the masque and i love it! It's definitely the best masque I've used hands down. And I'm obsessed with the scent. I can't wait to try the rest of the line.
I've used it as a leave in too. I love it for that too. Great review
+OasisofBeauty yes i'm so glad i tried it!! :)
Great review. My thoughts EXACTLY on all 3 products. I would live to see SM formulate a new more cleaning co-wash.
Thanks for the review!!! Now I need you to do the frizzy line
+M Simms it's coming up soon :)
You've definitely sold me on this line. Hook, line, and sinker.
+Crystal B LOL thanks for watching! Let me know if you end up liking it or not! :)
Thanks for sharing! I already purchased the masque and the gel. Wash day is tomorrow so I can't wait! I wish there was a leave in or moisturizer for this line.
You can use their conditioners as leave ins. I have in the past with no problem.
Wow NO leave in conditioner or moisturizer ... that's VERY surprising becuz they normally but definitely should have those 2 in ALL their lines ?!? That's crazie, they know better !!! 😏😏😏

+sassyone82 we will not speak on that gel souffle mess!!! LOL hope it worked out well for you! :)
+CurlyGirlJess Well I can most certainly say that I'm really enjoying the SM High Porosity styling gel!!! It gives me killer definition! It's dries a little crunchy but smooth on some oil and it takes care of it. I have to say that this styling gel kicks that ole gel soufflé's ASS!!!!
+sassyone82 👌👌
Great review Jess! Thanks for sharing!
Great Review!!! I'm definitely going to buy this collection...Since I'm pretty broke now 😩 I'll only be buying one product at a time...I'll be putting out a review on the high porosity co wash very soon!!!
+AngieBTV Can't wait to see your review! :)
I only detangle with my deep condition so I will definitely try the masque. Thank you!
you're welcome! :)
I finally tried this masque and I totally agree with you! This masque is EVERYTHING ❤️ #TwoThumbsUp 👍🏽👍🏽
Have you heard of the Shea Moisture Peace Rose oil complex nourish & silken line that has a shampoo, conditioner and gel cream (from what I saw I'm target) As well as the Omega 3,6,9 Rescue & Repair line that has the standard shampoo, conditioner, mask as well as a co wash and new curl enhancing smoothie 😳 I'm so shocked they released a new curl enhancing smoothie!!!
+Raven K yup i posted about finding them on Saturday on my Facebook page :)
I love this co wash..

this is probably one of the only shea moisture lines that i still consistently use. I actually just finished up a cowash and still love the DC and gel. :)
my hair LOVES the gel!!!! :) I am very pleased :) I loved the yucca plaintain gel, but this gel just spanked it and told it to have a nice day!
+BklynBabe LOL i love the gel too! :)
+CurlyGirlJess I finally tried the masque and guuuuuuuurlllll!!!!! shut up and take my money!!!
also I just got the Rose conditioner and gel, jbco gel, and superfruit gel and detangler to try. I don't even know what to do with myself with all these goodies. :(
I was so excited to try this gel. I hate it. My hair is so stiff and dull. It's uber dry. I used it yesterday. I'm washing it out tomorrow. it's also flaking like crazy. I'm going to try it with the gel souffle to see if it will prevent it from drying out next time. but I won't repurchase this. I'm going to eventually try the ufd gel that you and Ashley like so much.

excellent review of this line! i picked up the masque, gel and elixir. so far i tried the elixir on dry hair and liked it but have to still use it on wet and the other items. I think you should coin the term "deep contangle" :)
+Diane Mary LOL i think i should do that too!! Can't wait to hear how you like the products!! :)

+diamondsandlipgloss they are available online through target.com and you can have it shipped to store. Or you can request for your store to stock it :)
give it until the end of the month and it should be in store. I work at a target in Austin so...they came in just not on the shelves as yet.
Y'all were right... My target finally got them but girl! I took em back already because I can't stand the smell.!
Lol sorry to hear that. I may not attempt it then because my nose is very sensitive
Love your review!! Thanks.
+Monica Williams Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed! :)

omg girl I don't even have high porosity hair ( i have low to normal) and you had me wanting to purchase that masque lol
+Jeruna J girl try it! I know Mythriftedcloset just posted her review as well and she loved the high porosity DC and she's low porosity.
+CurlyGirlJess really?! Aww snap now I MUST go pick it up lol
Your hair is getting long again sweetums and it looks awesome for 6 days! Okay, I'm officially excited to try the gel now seeing your results.

I've been waiting for this review lol.
I too love the mask as I have high porosity hair. But, I'm not sure if it's considered a light or medium type of protein. what do you think? Thank you for the review!
I'd say for me it's a more light type of protein. I could probably use it on a weekly basis with no issues.
Great review! Ok, so how does this masque compare with Sarenzo's Pumpkin Deep Conditioner???
+Sister Nneka it's thicker and gives me more moisture...but which i realized what i forgot to mention it leave my hair feeling strengthened as well as moisturized like the pumpkin dc does.
+CurlyGirlJess Thank you! Of the two, which would you prefer and why? Or, are they neck and neck?
they are pretty much neck and neck...the shea moisture is a tiny bit better just cause i can go up the street and get it, but that's all.
+CurlyGirlJess Thanks so much! Your word is gold with me because your reviews are always spot on. Although my hair is low porosity, if this works like the pumpkin deep conditioner, it should work well for me. My hair loves masques. Thanks again!
Hey Jess I missed you 😊🌺
I'm gettin the masque. ....Thank U Jess! !!!!!! :-)
Awesome!
Even though I don't have high porosity hair, do you still think I should buy it? I feel like I have a different hair porosity in the front of my hair anyway.
+Danielle Uzuegbu i feel like it may be worth a try...check out mythriftedcloset's review on this...i know she has low porosity hair and it worked for her!
+CurlyGirlJess okay thank you!
By the way GREAT review. ..
I wanna try that deep conditioner because you are very picky about your DC, but I don't want to buy it lol
+Justcool Ncurly LOL GIRL!!! target has 10% off of the porosity lines this week thru their cartwheel app.
How do you break the cast from the gel? I love the masque also. I actually use it as a leave in. Can't stop touching my hair.
I typically take a little bit of an oil or butter and just scrunch it in my hair and that helps break the cast while keeping my curls defined.
Did you use the gel over the summer? If so, how did you like it?
I did and it worked really nice for me, I found it held up pretty good to the humidity and my hair lasted the whole week :)
Did the masque help with frizz? What’s the best product for high porosity frizz in your experience?
for me this mask does help with my frizz, due to it being super moisturizing for me. I will always naturally have some frizz just due to how my hair is, but I fin that as long as i'm using moisturizing conditioners and leave ins/styler, then my frizz is not completely out of control.
What is your favorite cowash?
+Dee Knight devacurl no poo
What do you think would this deep conditioner work for fine wavy to curly hair?
And the gel?
+Alisa hmmm I could see the deep conditioner being too heavy for fine hair, but it might be ok as long as you use it light handedly. The gel i think would be fine since it's a lighter texture.
+CurlyGirlJess thank you very much for your response!🌺
you're welcome! :)
Great video. That stupid gel souffle...we won't even talk about it.
+VivaLa GeeGee yes girl let's not talk about that awful mess! :)
