I have some advice for those people who have to separate their curls by shingling. If you have long hair (meaning long enough to swing when wet) the easiest thing to do is swing/shake your hair into curls. You have to do this in the shower. Drench your hair with water while your conditioner is still in, after shampooing. Drench it, but do not wash the conditioner out at all. Drench it fast the start swinging your hair, using your whole head, from side to side in an arc, then side to side like you’re saying “no” and then back in forth like you’re saying yes. You have to swing the full motion, like you’re throwing your hair with your head and you have to swing it fast. Full motion though. As you swing your hair you will be able to tell which part of your hair is being swung from each particular swing movement. If you feel that a part that is not curled (feels like an afro), put more conditioner in that area, drench it again, and use the particular swing motion that moves the hair on that part of your scalp. I’ve had natural hair for over 20 years and I’ve shown many people how to shake their hair into curls. It doesn’t matter what texture your hair is, it just matters that you use a good conditioner for your hair type and that you drench it enough to make it swing. I always wash my conditioner out with cool water because hot water dries my hair, so you can try that if you’d like. The only other thing is do not comb through those curls that you just swung your neck off for. You have to detangle before you swing. Do not put a comb in your hair again until those curls have lasted for the days that the curls are wearable. As long as you don’t comb through your curls, they will stay. It will be your own curls, not sections that you helped to separate into curls. If you use product move it down your hair like the girl in this video, but swing it after you have the product in. If you do it right, you won’t have any frizz. If your hair is already drying from the product, it may swing but it will not eliminate frizz. Done correctly, the curls will be so separated and tight that you’ll have to pull through your hair upwards to get your hair big, if you like the big hair look. Wish I could show y’all but I don’t do videos. Hope I was clear if anyone tries it. Good luck.
Jacy Dyer I just had a bad wash and go yesterday bc I waited to detangle my hair after deep conditioning and the water was close to hot when I rinsed it out. I think I’ve even your process of swinging the hair after product I applied with Rachelcpr videos.
I don't really wear and style my curls but when I do I use this method, but I've never been able to explain it properly. Thank you for explaining it so well.
Maui: better definition, tighter curls, pump volume, and it doesnt look dry. I prefer the Maui Moisture. Shea: less definition and frizzy at the roots, flat to me, and the middle top looks dry. I do not prefer the Shea Moisture but I definitely say go with your gut and overall beginning to end results. Thank you for your review. One day I will try the Maui. Meanwhile, I do use SM on my kids.
I’ve tried both brands but Maui is always better because it makes my hair feel more moisturized. The Shea moisture is good but it gives my hair a weird feeling while applying it, although it dries very moisturized.
DJOslife THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS BECAUSE ITS A YEAR LATER AND I HAVE BENEFITED FROM YOUR TIP. I CHECKED THERE SITE AND SAW THAT THEY INDEED HAVE THE BOGO SO I WENT TO PICK UP THE 2 PRODUCTS I WAS INTERESTED IN 🤟🏽🖖🏽🤩
There were a curly head blonde girl with blue eyes stopped me from purchasing a relaxer. She shared your sentiment. She just told me how to condition my hair correctly which made a difference and a big improvement to where I did not think about getting a relaxer after that and that was over a decade ago.
I’ve always wanted so badly for Shea moisture products to work but everything I’ve ever tried from any of their lines left my hair dry and undefined. I always hear people raving about it and so I keep buying it only to be pissed I wasted so much money.
@@hettho6679 I thinks it’s just hair types. There’s more to it than how curly your hair is. I have 3b curls, but very thick and frizzy hair. Shea moisture enables me to tame the frizz, and soften the hair and tame the puffiness of my thick hair. Especially when I apply the lotion. Always makes my hair feel smooth and silky. Maui on the other hand is good, but I still have issues with frizz and dryness with it.
I like the Maui moisture side. But I do think they’re pretty comparable since your curls are superrrrr defined either way. I never bought anything for Maui moisture, I should now!
I have a couple products from Maui Moisture and didn’t even notice it was a different company lol I thought it was Shea Moisture and they came out with another collection
@@sexyndacityable it's the feeling of how easily a product feels/gets through the hair. The thicker it is the less slip, the more thin/milky the more slip
I've never tried Maui Moisture products.. Been spoiled by Shea Moisture lol... But i need to give them a try.. They are way cheaper.. With my luck ima end up liking them and stocking up on the whole brands line lol
Maui moisture is my new replacement I think it's the fact aloe is their first ingredient instead of just regular smegular water or something but my hair loves it
I way prefer Maui...so much more slip, for me Shea usually just feels greasy...I guess it depends on your hair type but give them a go they smell so good too! xx
I hate that Maui moisture my hair. For me it is drying. I think the shea moisture has better ingredients, at least my hair responds well to it. With that being said the Maui moisture side is fluffier I personally like fluffier hair, but the SheaMoisture side looks more moisturized to me. Great video, like when you compare the products.
same!! i have the curl enhancing smoothie and curl and style milk and it didn’t do anything to my hair! just dried it out! i just ordered a maui moisture product
I've been using the Jamaican Black Castor leave-conditioner (4 months or so) in the steam room. It smells amazing and literally penetrates my hair leaving it moisturised, shiny and quite defined. Paired with the curl enhancing smoothie. My hair growth was insane (for me). It grew by 4/5 inches in that time - double the average rate. The only thing I was annoyed about was how thick it is when applying to dry hair. I'm now going to try out the Shea Moisture Curl & Style milk, after extensive research. I hope I can apply it easier, especially when my hair is majority dry. I'll be using it as the daily moisture top up .Thanks girl.
the shea moisture curling smoothie always makes my hair really dry and frizzy I was really disappointed in that product :( but I was also told that the formula changed or something so maybe that’s why it hasn’t worked for me. just got the maui curl smoothie I hope it does me good 😩
your vids catch my eye cuz I would like to find a product that's not a gel for my wash n go that gives me the same definition i get from gels/custards...right now I went back to Kinky Curly Curling Custard. I'm 2yrs natural and post BC so still newly natural in my opinion therefore still in product junkie phase...but I am starting to recover LOL
I enjoyed this comparison video. I saw the shine immediately after applying the Shea Moisture milk. I like the Maui end results for day 1 hair...the volume and definition is everything to me. The Shea side just looks flat which has its own benefits to make the wash N go last a little longer. I love the packaging designs of Maui.. too cute. Great video!
I Love Shea Moisture! I have never tried Maui moisture....but I will now. On you the Shea moisture looks more moisturized and defined. But the Maui moisture looks more voluminous. I love volume so I will try it. Thanks for the review 💛
I way prefer Maui...so much shinier, slippier (the shampoo and conditioner especially, not so much in the milk I prefer Cantu milk overall if I had to choose), moisturised beyond belief...I use the conditioner as the leave in too, works great.¡, have you tried the shampoo and conditioner? Dramatic difference in the result for me too my curls are finally poppin and holding! Not as greasy as Shea at all, I'm caucasian 3a so I guess its way different for everyone depending on your hair type and needs, just keep trying things and you find what your hair loves huh! x
Yes! I used to use their Raw Shea Butter line and my hair felt stripped and dirty at the same time and I lost a ton of definition so I completely get it. I just recently tried out Maui the blue Coconut Milk line and it worked great on my curls. I wish companies would leave their products alone. I literally used Shea Moisture from 2014-a couple months ago since my hair was getting worse
Both sides look pretty much the same to me. Both a good result. Good to know that Shea Moisture applies better. Although, Maui is cheaper. Which smells better?
I have both and I personally think Shea Moisture has a better smell and better moisture, but I prefer to use the Maui moisture more. Shea moisture is great, but because there's so many oils and shea butter in it (which is why it's so thick), it leaves my hair feeling extremely greasy and not very defined. That's why I only use it if I'm doing braid outs or twist outs. However, Maui Moisture gives my hair A LOT more shine/definition than Shea Moisture and isn't nearly as greasy, even if it's not as moisturizing (however it still moisturizes enough to make my hair soft). I even use it as a gel substitute for my wash n gos because it hardens and defines so well. Hope this helps you decide if you would like to buy one of them. 😊
Never used the Maui line! I’m a huge fan of Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil line 😩 especially their deep conditioner does wonder to my hair. But I will give them a try
While wet they looked the same to me! However dry it appears Mai has more volume. Shea moisture looks like it held longer. It looks good to me on both sides
@03:33 girl I agree. I don't even play with those bottles once they get half way empty. I cut them open with scissors and transfer the rest of the product to a container where I can scoop it. For both the shea moisture milk and the Maui moisture milk, lol. They are in the wrong type of containers in both cases in my opinion.
A lot of people say that Maui moisture is drying to there hair and my hair is already very dry. I switch shampoo and conditioner once a week. I use shea moisture Jamaican black castor oil leave in conditioner and it does wonders to my hair
Takira Thompson I find the smell ok it only stays in my hair for a couple hours tho. My hair something loves coconut oil but other times it’s not having it lol
Takira Thompson when my hair doesn’t like coconut oil I do a home made coconut milk, tea tree oil, and aloe Vera hair mask and my hair feels moisturize after it and my hair actually grow a little quicker when I use it
#1 thing, Shea Moisture all the way, Ur hair looks sic both sides, volume fukn golden from maui and at the same time it looks like the color of ur hair is also less rich on the maui side. That is also my experience from maui, beach style volume but a dry, beach look somehow and it fkd w/ my scalp just a tiny tiny bit. I loved the volume so much and detangling I wished it worked but the dryer side and ingredient list was where it was a No for me. They use coconut based surfactants that are not yet regulated or proven as some other coco based surfactants in other “natural” “clean” products. The coco based products in the maui shampoos are still test tube unverified coco surfactants that are maybe close to being as bad as sulfates, kinda figured why I was getting the cool detangling and volume but also the natural color sucked out of my hair with this kinda unnaturally awesome feeling of beach style dryness. The unnatural part made me question the product and glad I did so I could research the “plant based “ sulfate acting ingredient list thanks for the review I’m reading today for the first time, I was thinking about actually using maui again from a bottle I saved but ur self lookin all awesome with ur hair reminded me how much i loved that maui awesomeness but not to go for it considering their products are not truly that clean and a far cry from the cleaner ingredient list of shea moisture, which has been my go to for that reason
I've never heard of Maui products.. But we have Shea Butter over here. I do like the Maui side better tho, I'm gonna have to look into Maui because Shea Moisture is Expensive 😭
I like maui..i'd use maui..i hv tried shea moisture...id say not all of them work for me..so i got maui shea butter shampoo..n conditioner..the shampoo is strippin..didnt like that but the conditioner..works great
Which Shea Moisture Smoothie were you using? They have three versions: Shea Butter, Vegetable Oil or Coconut OIl as their primary ingredient after water. I need a new Shea Butter product since Shea Moisture did switch and bait on us with Coconut Oil!
My Shea Moisture curl and style milk look basically the same as yours. Don't feel bad. LOL. I love both of them. They both are moisturizing though. I think both sides are going to come out nice. I was right. Both sides look really good. Thanks for your video.
I started my natural hair journey in November and it’s been a challenge with trying products and learning how to use them. My latest purchase were the Maui Moisture products you used. I’ll apply the same way you showed tomorrow when I wash. I tried both like you did but I wasn’t feeling the MM smoothie so I just applied the MM milk. I prefer how Maui results look on you over the SM which makes your hair look much less voluminous. Have you tried TreLux? So far it’s my absolute favorite!
I know my comment is super late but you should do the porosity test on your hair before just choosing products. It's so many videos for high, low and normal porosity hair and you'll likely be better with those products. Trust me I've been natural for a year and I still don't have the perfect product.. I'm iffy with these two brands right now (Camille Rose and Texture ID).
They do!?! I I've been wondering whether to buy the milk or smoothie. Im new to this since im tryna embrace my nat. Texture and i dont wanna get all these products all at the same time.
4evergreen I personally am not super particular about product ingredients but I always link the products in my description for anyone interested. & thank you ❤️
the only product i love from maui moisture is their conditioners because i feel like w all their other products i ain’t getting the promised moisture🤦🏽♀️. after using their products my hair always feel dried out and that’s never the case w shea moisture
You should try the Sally Beauty Generic version of the leave-in Milk and Smoothie, they are both nice and thick and work really great because of their thickness
Maui moisture looks better to me! It's more volume on the maui moisture side due to the fact your part is not even and there is more hair on the maui moisture side than there is on the shea moisture. Your definition is more on the maui moisture side and the volume fits your face more with maui moisture than the shea moisture side. Target and Amazon sell both products for a very reasonable price than what Ulta is selling them for.
@@nataliagarza2516 the products contain dmdm hydantoin and urea as preservatives. Dmdm hydantoin is a formaldehyde releaser as well as Urea. But you can do your own research on the ingredients. I personally would not use it as there are much safer products available.
Hi I'm a new subscribers I bought Shea milk and style and I have live in conditioner and curl keeper but I tried thousand times my hair is not getting curly I don't know why can you advice me please 😭
Victoria Mensah ooo, if you just bought it, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with it. Where’d you buy it from & how does it smell? Normally the smell tells me whether or not a product is any good
Danisha Grier I define the “slip” of a product as being able to glide through my hair while allowing me to easily finger comb/rake my fingers through my hair. That was not the case for me with the milk.
Can I trust Maui not to do switch and bait with their ingredients and then lie about it like Shea Moisture does? I am looking for a more trust worthy company that makes good products for my hair.

I have a couple products from Maui Moisture and didn’t even notice it was a different company lol I thought it was Shea Moisture and they came out with another collection
Auti I that’s so funny 😂😂😂
The Maui moisture doesn’t have as much “slip” because it doesn’t have silicone like most natural hair products
Kaiya Johnson the Shea Moisture products don’t have silicones either
Takira Thompson what gives Shea moisture it’s “slip”
Kaiya Johnson that’s a good question for the chemists who created the formulas lol they figured something out
What is slip?
@@sexyndacityable it's the feeling of how easily a product feels/gets through the hair. The thicker it is the less slip, the more thin/milky the more slip
honestly the maui moisture looks more defined while having more volume, but you are probably a better judge in person
Kyandria Knighton in person, it was a bit more frizzy. Especially towards the top but it wasn’t a big deal, both sides were wearable
Maui moisture side looks better.... I have the same texture as yours and Shea moisture does not do it for me lol.
I left shea for maui and my hair that didn't have a curl pattern did a whole 360
nene D it’s always awesome when you find something your hair loves 🙌🏾
Takira Thompson i know right I paired it with the let's jam gel with the red top...for twists out it doesn't flake

I like the Maui moisture side . But it just depends on everyone hair textures . Their both cute .
Like for me Shea moisture products are to heavy on my hair and doesn’t moisturize my hair enough . But different type hairs takes products differently
I am giving you a thumbs up for the jam playing in 4he background!
Yes both sides looks good, but I agree with you, the Shea Moisture side looks better.
I'm a bit late finding your video. I still enjoyed it. Finally, a person with my curl pattern. Just subscribed 🤗🤗🤗
The fact that the maui took a while to penetrate means its better to me and it will have a more moisturizing effect and the moisture will last longer
Great video! I think the Shae moisture curl and style milk made your hair hair really shinny!

Takira Thompson new subscriber here! 👋😍🔥🔥
Ali B glad to have you 🤗🤗

But which feels better and lasts longer? Does the Shea Moisture side feel more oily to the touch than the Maui side? Thanks for sharing!!
Fabn40s the moisture on both sides lasted a full week and not to me
A lot of people say that Maui moisture is drying to there hair and my hair is already very dry. I switch shampoo and conditioner once a week. I use shea moisture Jamaican black castor oil leave in conditioner and it does wonders to my hair
It may be the coconut oil since it can tend to be drying to some people's hair. & I liked the leave-in but I didn't like how it smells lol
Takira Thompson I find the smell ok it only stays in my hair for a couple hours tho. My hair something loves coconut oil but other times it’s not having it lol
lol my hair is the same way with coconut oil!
Takira Thompson when my hair doesn’t like coconut oil I do a home made coconut milk, tea tree oil, and aloe Vera hair mask and my hair feels moisturize after it and my hair actually grow a little quicker when I use it
I got maui curl milk. It is really great to tame the frizzy hair. I love it
Maui Moisture looks good to me and i luv the volume. 💕🔆
I can’t do shea moisture, my hair hates coconut . Do they have a curly smoothie without coconut?
They have a Jamaican black castor oil smoothie
#1 thing, Shea Moisture all the way, Ur hair looks sic both sides, volume fukn golden from maui and at the same time it looks like the color of ur hair is also less rich on the maui side.

They use coconut based surfactants that are not yet regulated or proven as some other coco based surfactants in other “natural” “clean” products.
The coco based products in the maui shampoos are still test tube unverified coco surfactants that are maybe close to being as bad as sulfates, kinda figured why I was getting the cool detangling and volume but also the natural color sucked out of my hair with this kinda unnaturally awesome feeling of beach style dryness. The unnatural part made me question the product and glad I did so I could research the “plant based “ sulfate acting ingredient list
thanks for the review I’m reading today for the first time, I was thinking about actually using maui again from a bottle I saved but ur self lookin all awesome with ur hair reminded me how much i loved that maui awesomeness but not to go for it considering their products are not truly that clean and a far cry from the cleaner ingredient list of shea moisture, which has been my go to for that reason
Maui moisture seems like it gave you more volume they just need a gel to take the frizz 😊
I've never heard of Maui products.. But we have Shea Butter over here. I do like the Maui side better tho, I'm gonna have to look into Maui because Shea Moisture is Expensive 😭
I like maui..i'd use maui..i hv tried shea moisture...id say not all of them work for me..so i got maui shea butter shampoo..n conditioner..the shampoo is strippin..didnt like that but the conditioner..works great
maui moisture gave you hella definition girl but either way you’re gorgeous omg
Which Shea Moisture Smoothie were you using? They have three versions: Shea Butter, Vegetable Oil or Coconut OIl as their primary ingredient after water. I need a new Shea Butter product since Shea Moisture did switch and bait on us with Coconut Oil!
I prefer moisture and definition so shea moisture is the winner for me
Your hair is GORGEOUS!! 😍😍
My Shea Moisture curl and style milk look basically the same as yours. Don't feel bad. LOL. I love both of them. They both are moisturizing though. I think both sides are going to come out nice. I was right. Both sides look really good. Thanks for your video.
Samantha Ivy yes! I don’t know how it got like that 😂😂 thank you, love & thanks for watching 💗😘
You are welcome. I just subscribed to your channel.
Hello Takria great job on the two hair products. I enjoyed your video and please have a blessed day.
I started my natural hair journey in November and it’s been a challenge with trying products and learning how to use them. My latest purchase were the Maui Moisture products you used. I’ll apply the same way you showed tomorrow when I wash. I tried both like you did but I wasn’t feeling the MM smoothie so I just applied the MM milk. I prefer how Maui results look on you over the SM which makes your hair look much less voluminous. Have you tried TreLux? So far it’s my absolute favorite!
i know this is hard to answer w/out a pic, but I have thick, poofy, naturally wavy hair - which one should I try first -- maui or shea?
Mallory Gurin I have the same hair type as you and I use the curl enhancing smoothie it works really good !!
I know my comment is super late but you should do the porosity test on your hair before just choosing products. It's so many videos for high, low and normal porosity hair and you'll likely be better with those products. Trust me I've been natural for a year and I still don't have the perfect product.. I'm iffy with these two brands right now (Camille Rose and Texture ID).
I absolutely love these products but am I the only one that realise the curl milk 8oz and curl smoothie 12 oz have the exact same ingredients in them?
They do!?! I I've been wondering whether to buy the milk or smoothie. Im new to this since im tryna embrace my nat. Texture and i dont wanna get all these products all at the same time.
I think ktighy have been helpful to compare some of the ingredients. Maybe the first 5. Your hair looks great on both sides.
4evergreen I personally am not super particular about product ingredients but I always link the products in my description for anyone interested. & thank you ❤️
everyone’s hair is different but for me i’ve gotta say maui just works way better for me
the only product i love from maui moisture is their conditioners because i feel like w all their other products i ain’t getting the promised moisture🤦🏽♀️. after using their products my hair always feel dried out and that’s never the case w shea moisture
What hair type do u have cuz ima start usin the shea moisture and I’m hopping it does my hair good
Both are lovely 😊
Mrs. Coleman thank you, hun ☺️🤗
I have Shea moisture I just started using it my hair is so dry and damaged I have to give it time to get my curls completely back
Wow, it did a 360 from dry to wet. Shea moisture side is better. I prefer less frizz and more definition
You should try the Sally Beauty Generic version of the leave-in Milk and Smoothie, they are both nice and thick and work really great because of their thickness
I’ve heard great things about the generic versions 🙌🏾
Your curls are beeeautiful
Maui moisture looks better to me! It's more volume on the maui moisture side due to the fact your part is not even and there is more hair on the maui moisture side than there is on the shea moisture. Your definition is more on the maui moisture side and the volume fits your face more with maui moisture than the shea moisture side. Target and Amazon sell both products for a very reasonable price than what Ulta is selling them for.
Question: what hair type do you have cause mine looks exactly the same and I need help lots of it
It looks like 4a
Hey new subscriber !! I love the way both sides turned out.
I can't believe I found a RUclipsr with hair like mine
I love how maui products smell but they not 100% natural so I don't use
What do u mean??? 🤔🤔 which part is not natural??
@@nataliagarza2516 the products contain dmdm hydantoin and urea as preservatives. Dmdm hydantoin is a formaldehyde releaser as well as Urea. But you can do your own research on the ingredients. I personally would not use it as there are much safer products available.
Hi I'm a new subscribers I bought Shea milk and style and I have live in conditioner and curl keeper but I tried thousand times my hair is not getting curly I don't know why can you advice me please 😭
Such a beauty✨
Izzy thank you, love 🤗💗😘
Wow it’s crazy bc I’m torn between the two of these products 🙄
Kya Nichols me too.
Have you try them finaly ? Which one you prefer ? Thanks
@@karine8738 I have tried both ! I love Maui and I feel I can always go back to it. Shea moisture doesn’t really work for my hair anymore.
@@kyaSN thanks so much 👌
Both side looks great
The Maui side looks better looking like Kiki Palmer sure this isn’t the first time you’ve herd that
Raquel Parrish thank you, hun ❤️ & that’s actually the first time I’ve heard that lo
Should I be worried my Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie is brown. I just bought it a few hours ago
Victoria Mensah ooo, if you just bought it, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with it. Where’d you buy it from & how does it smell? Normally the smell tells me whether or not a product is any good
I love Maui moisture.
Omg your so gorgeous!💖
Yesss. Christa you’re so sweet ☺️ thank you, love! 💗💕
Takira Thompson np 💖☺️
Maui moisture looks so good
Hello Takira great job. Please have a blessed day.
Maui didn’t work for my hair at alll it made it very frizzy abs have white residue all over the plwce
Me *listening to the Maui moisture slip*
Takira: “Not much slip.”
Danisha Grier I define the “slip” of a product as being able to glide through my hair while allowing me to easily finger comb/rake my fingers through my hair. That was not the case for me with the milk.
Takira Thompson That’s my definition as well. I can only go off what I heard, I’ll try it and see. Thanks!
Maui Moisture looks much better... but both sides do look similar... I love Maui Moisture...super hydrating 💕 Great vid
Maui Moisture looks better
Maui moisture has propylene glycol in it so I stopped using it
Maui works better for my hair , shae moisture products just dry me out for some reason
I like the MM!!
Kesa King 💗❤️
For the first one, residue doesn’t come from products. It comes from applying to much. In all honesty Maui moisture won for the first one.
🤗 GOOD JOB DOING YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAIR 👍 💞
I loveeeee the Maui Moisture side! It’s been on my list to try. Tfs 💕
Shea Moisture side😜!!!
mia alexander thanks, hun 🤗
Maui side's way better. And for the price is way more better.
The Maui side looked better lol, it looks less frizzy , and more defined
to me shea moisture looks better to me :)
Can I trust Maui not to do switch and bait with their ingredients and then lie about it like Shea Moisture does? I am looking for a more trust worthy company that makes good products for my hair.
Shea moisture is not good ?
I love maui better
