    It wasn’t just that it was for naturals, Shea Moisture was sustainably produced and didn’t have added chemicals. Their formula has definitely changed as well as their target audience. Such a shame.

    Whenever these Black owned companies are bought by large corporations, the ingredients become trash. They start out clean and natural and slowly (or quickly) became filled with cheaper ingredients and chemicals. I have seen the same thing happen before. Carol's Daughter is another example. I used to buy CD products when the owner was printing out the labels on an inkjet. Those original products were truly natural. Not anymore.

    They aren’t popular anymore because more natural products came out and their formulas changed. They did not only change the ingredients once but numerous times. I have older containers for years ago and looked at the ingredients now and the ingredients aren’t even identical at all.

    She’s Moisture got rid of the High Porosity line. This line of hair care products was the only thing that worked. The last container of deep conditioner was also reformulated and was less effective, but it was still better than what I’m using now. None of the other black hair care products specifically address high porosity hair, so I feel like I have been left out in the cold altogether.... Shea Moisture sold out to a world that already has enough variety for other textures, but sure as hell not mine!

    Great video! Well research and narrated! I only stopped using Shea Moisture because I felt like it didn't work for my hair (little did I know, I was using it wrong at the time). They did change the formula for products such as the Curl Enhancing Smoothie. I noticed that in the middle of the week after working out, living etc. there was a funny smell from my hair, like old motor oil. I later learned that it was because the product was becoming rancid. When I look at the ingredients now, I notice there are more emulsifiers and stabilizers in that product. This time, after a week of working out or living, my hair didn't have that smell anymore. Also when I saw that commercial, I just shook my head. I knew it was gonna be a wrap for them, when the natural hair community saw that. And the boycotts worked too. People are not very forgiving...and are very forgetful.
    I hope you are right about the remedies for implementing social media and collabs with influencers and RUclips hair gurus. Within the last year or so, Shea moisture has had a few new products that I didn't know about and now the stores are slowly phasing them out (Red Palm Oil and Cocoa Butter line, the hemp line, and the reconstructor line). Without that support, it would be hard to make a profit and as a result, hard to keep their products on the shelf.As for me, Shea Moisture products are a go-to for cleansing and styling in the winter time because bottom line: they work for me. I don't know if they can come back to the shine from which they originated, but think they can still keep producing (and stop taking my favorite products off of the shelf ;) )

    I've always been natural but it wasn't until about.. 6 years ago that I truly started learning how to take care of my curls. And of course everyone and their momma used and recommended shea mositure. As a broke highschool student it was a bit hard to get price wise but i did invest in some products here and there or was gifted stuff by family. And at first there were quite a few products i liked, especially the JBCO line. BUTTT then they decided to play games and switch up their ingredients and labels, NOT tell customers, and then when confronted about the change, basically deny it. Ill never forget putting the JBCO shampoo in my hair and being sooo shook and confused when instead of moisture and slip.. immediate dryness and tangles... I literally cried cause it caused my hair to tangle and knot up and i ended up with a lot of breakage because of it.. i tried the matching conditioner to help it but that was just as bad... and the leave in?? it smelled different and was super runny. It was then that I read the ingredient lists and noticed they did not match some of the older bottles I still had. I stopped buying their stuff after and have seen their ingredient quality decrease since then.

    I used to love SheaMoisture for my curly hair but for the last almost year.. more and more of my hair is falling out and nothing in my life has changed. I'm still a young adult and have very healthy hair (I have a friend who got fascinated by how strong it was when she touched and tugged it and loved the texture). I have to find an entirely new brand now.. I have no issues outside of just fall out which is bizarre.
    I used to have no issues with the product using it a couple years prior and it being my main brand I use (I only use the shampoo and conditioner and do not use other products in my hair). I'm guessing my head is NOT liking the formula change..

    Thank you.
    I enjoyed and appreciate the information you shared on the Shea Moisture company.
    I cut off all my hair June 2020 (over 20 yrs with locs at various lengths) and with that came the search for chemical-free products.
    Lush Cosmetics, Ogx, and Pantene were the products I used, enjoyed, and found effective over the years.
    However, I discovered the "Think Dirty" app which shows me the chemical content in products. That discovery eliminated all the products I previously used and most of the "new" products for curly hair as well, except for Shea Moisture. With every search in every category, they come up as the company with the least chemicals in their product. I would love to try some of the competitors because everything in the line does not work as well as I would like (as mentioned in your video the Curl Enhancing Smoothie does almost nothing for my 4b-c hair). I wish some of the new curly hair companies would consider the chemical content they add to these products.

When looking for curly hair products the main brands that I can find are cantu, maui then shea moisture. The two 1st ones can be find in the supermarkets while shea moisture you have to actually order online or go to a special shop. However it is the most popular.I’m in a Face book beauty page where most off the girls are not black, and a lot off them talk about this brand.
    Also when I travel to places like the UK, it’s one off the only curly hair brands available in the big shops equivalent to CVS. Off cause you can find all the other brands at the hair shops.

Mainly because I got a bit lazy over the past couple of years, I've recently started watching videos again.

    Their REFORMULATION sucks: I’m a male. Been using the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner for a while now. In my last purchase recently: I noticed that the shampoo does not have that natural, rich, awesome smelling, white and creamy consistency anymore. They’ve changed it to a shiny, clearer and watered-down formula that really feels like any other shampoo out there. But the worst thing is: IT’S MAKING MY SCALP ITCH LIKE CRAZY. The original formula was the complete opposite: it used to be so invigorating and moisturizing. They have failed to realize that they’re actually dealing with chemicals here. That those ingredients actually affect people’s pH balancing and levels. They think it’s a game that will go un-noticed. I’M GOING TO RETURN THE ITEM: and I will not buy it again if they don’t change it.

    I’m trying the miracle leave in right now and I might use the manukau and honey yogurt leave in again, but my main concern is the hair loss. I had so much hair loss when using the products that I’m not sure if it was the shampoos and conditioner or if it was all of the products. I’m currently using the Brigeo brand and I noticed I’m having hair fall again so I’m like does my hair not like natural products or am I sensitive to some ingredients? I’m sorry for this long rant, to whoever is reading this, I just had to get this off my chest XD

    They don't work, over priced and I am still trying to figure out where his grandma got the name Tucker. May be she was one of the slaves that went back to Liberia after leaving the US. I am not sure...I just have always felt if someone makes a product we will support it. In this case they made multi millions and we are still looking for the right product.

    I recently had starting using sheamoisture, as I was looking for ethical, quality products to use on my hair. This was a brand that came up time and time again in my searches. I had no idea about their fail campaign, even to me it's cringe-y. Maybe they needed to boost their sales in order for Unilever to buy them out? 🤷 I will continue trying other brands.

    Do you think this brand is ok to use for a Hispanic or is it better for African hair. I’ve mostly seen black peoples use there products with tougher hair, more curly hair and frizzy hair. I’m Hispanic white so my hair is in a mix with mainly curly and a little wavy and straight but for the most it’s a curly hairstyle so even with mainly black people I hear them saying it’s to much protein and I feel like this is gonna effect me even worse but I don’t know I used the product once and I left my hair smelling nice and feeling nice but I don’t know if this is for white people

    I just bought some product because of my curly hair having problems, I'm just trying a little something new but years ago I had heard it was (the company) sold to a mormon. Who ran against Obama in the election the 1st time. I will not mention his name here. So I was never interested in buying the products after seeing, she had sold to a Caucasian guy. But after seeing this video I wish I wouldn't have even bought the current product that I have. It's crazy to think she sold to a Caucasian. Where his religion teaches black hate, that black people is a curse. I was born into Mormonism but my mom had no idea what they were teaching. I am a woman of color and I can remember when they taught that black skin was a curse I was humiliated in front of everyone in my class. This is sadly their core belief I was a young girl very young taught this but thankfully now I know the truth!

    They sold their line. Not sure why anyone would want to save a sell out (sorry not sorry). Unilever changing SheaMoisture ingredients everytime I purchase a new bottle. I have two bottles I purchased recently and it's a big change in the ingredients (I must have got lucky and found an old formula still on the shelf). My hair is currently breaking off thanks to the new formula. Yes we was lucky to experience high quality natural products in the early 2000s that seems to no longer exist.

      And allllll shampoos and products have changed through the years . But the last few years ALOT. Because they supposedly took the bad stuff out. And even though we do not want to use the bad stuff / chemicals and ingredients we still liked the older products with these things in them . Across the board , regardless of race. Funny 😆 they broke it down in this way.

    Wait, so the issue here is sheamoisture needs to expand their brand but they tried that and people whined about them wanting a diverse customer base and they're surprised they're dwindling away in popularity? God forbid Caucasians use their products, right? Maybe we should just go back to the days where white and black people can only purchase certain items since some of you all want segregation so bad. I was a fan of theirs until the formulas changed and they apologized for wanting me as a customer. 🙄

      Alison I had no problem with the commercial because I’m young and new to Shea moisture. But it seems there has to be a middle ground for wanting a diverse customer base. Bring in new customers without forgetting the ppl who were here first. Ppl want representation, and that’s not what Shea moisture showed. Basically a representation of all hair types and not the ones you see all the time.

      Shut up Alison you guys have 5 f**** aisles dedicated to your hair needs and always have since the birth or should I say Hijacking of this country.. Thats the problem with yall you come into black spaces giving your opinions where it really doesn't matter, you didn't even know wtf shea moisture was at one point because the products wern't originally made for your hair type, so go get you some "Pantene" which was originally made for yall and shut the hell up. Sheamoisture was originally MADE for and BUILT up by black people so this is a black issue between sheamoisture its "core base" .. Don't come up in here with that white entitlement that plaques your people and always has since modern humans existed. Yall are so obsessed with black culture you follow everything we do but will never admit it to yourselves, and if I'm lying you wouldn't even be in this comment section saying something slick when its a BLACK owned brand were discussing on a BLACK RUclips channel🤔🤫. So we shouldn't even be having a convo right now..Go do that in your own white space..
